Congregating For The Many Saints Of Newark
The SCU (Sopranos Cinematic Universe) expands with the release, in theaters and on HBO Max, of the prequel film The Many Saints Of Newark, and Rolling Stone Senior TV Critic/certified Sopranologist Alan Sepinwall is here to discuss it with us! Around The Dial takes us through The Problem With Jon Stewart, Our Kind Of People, Maid, and the Working Girl TV series adaptation. Rebecca uses her Extra Credit topic to have us remove and recast disgraced stars from their TV vehicles to make them palatable again. Alan presents the Columbo episode "An Exercise In Fatality" for induction into the Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we're pulling off the turnpike for a New Jersey-themed Non-Regulation Game Time! Find your pew and join us!
