If 'The Wire' and 'The Sopranos' Are the Pinnacle of Television, Why Keep Making It?

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 21:01:00 -0000

On this week's episode, Ben, Libby, and Leo tackle the topic that sent the television Twitter aflame last week, essentially that there haven't been any good television shows since "The Wire" and "The Sopranos," a point of view that ignores the brilliant art created over the course of the past two decades. It also allows Leo to trot out his pet theory that all art exists on an ever-improving continuum thanks to a more inclusive industry, exponentially better technology, and a natural urge to improve what has come before it. Plus, Leo and Ben go way long on Mike Flanagan's latest limited series for Netflix, "Midnight Mass."

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 17:40:13 -0000

On this week's episode of Millions of Screens, Ben, Libby, and Leo talk about the televised disaster that was the 78th Annual Golden Globes.

On this week's episode of Millions of Screens, Libby, Ben, and Leo dig into some predictions for this Sunday's Golden Globes, but not before discussing the L.A. Times' reporting about just how corrupt (not to mention white) the 87-member H.F.P.A. happens to be.

Additionally, Ben regales Libby and Leo with tales of 'The Mosquito Coast,' Apple TV+'s new prestige drama starring Justin Theroux, of 'The Leftovers' fame.

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 21:13:47 -0000

On this week's episode of Millions of Screens, Ben, Libby, and Leo go long on what is holding 'WandaVision' back as a television series. From the lack of natural in-episode arcs to mid-episode abandonment of the various sitcom tropes, why is it that a show so intrinsically linked to the history of television still feels like a movie chopped up at the most convenient points? Additionally, Ben and Libby trade excitement about the casting announcement for Lenny Abrahamson's next adaptation of a Sally Rooney novel, 'Conversations With Friends,' and Amazon's announcement of an adaptation of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

On this week's episode, Ben, Libby, and Leo look into the curious case of Letterboxd, a site built by and for cinephiles to catalog the films they love and share reviews with like-minded peers, where television is increasingly dominating the highest rated spots on its charts.

Before that, Libby and Ben discuss Denis Villeneuve's scathing open letter to Warner Bros. in light of the decision to port over all of its 2021 film slate to HBO Max. Additionally, Libby talks about the dangerous precedent Apple TV+ set in kowtowing to CEO Tim Cook's whims in cancelling the Gawker-inspired show from Watchmen scribe Cord Jefferson, and Ben bemoans the next 4 years of Marvel and Star Wars content Disney promised would be coming to Disney+ at last week's Investor Day.

The Oscars: The Good ('Parasite'), The Bad (Eminem), and The Quibi (Self-Explanatory)

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 20:18:17 -0000

On this week's episode, Leo, Libby, and Ben bask in the glow of "Parasite" and Director Bong's impressive night, but can't help but wonder if the historic victory was tarnished by an incredibly bloated and at times confusing Oscars telecast. With ratings down from last year's host-less enterprise (in the wake of Kevin Hart debacle), the Academy is sorely in need of suggestions to help bring relevancy (or at the very least streamlining) back into the program, especially when you consider all the alternatives viewers have at their disposal across both the television landscape and the various streaming platforms. Additionally, Ben and Libby argue about the success of Quibi's first foray into the commercial space, and Libby defends CBS' decision to revive CSI as an event-series.
