It’s a special mid-week episode of The Socially Distanced Podcast! This is mostly due to the fact we messed up our posting schedule last week and our guest this week was like “Hey, if you’re talking about The Emmys you need to get this up ASAP!” He’s way smarter than Bill and Al.
That’s right the 27th episode of the Socially Distanced podcast focuses on the 2020 Emmy Awards. Your hosts Al Mannarino and Bill are joined this week by Pop Break’s television editor and Emmy expert Alex Marcus. Alex is the host of the Cinema Joes Podcast as well as Pop Break’s TV Break podcast and Good Bye to All That (Good Bye to All That and TV Break are both available on The Pop Break TV feed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Anchor and Google Podcasts.)
Alex deftly breaks down the history Schitt’s Creek made with all its Emmy wins, as well as the not-so surprising win for Billy Crudup (The Morning Show). The gang goes onto wax poetic about HBO’s Watchmen once again while also discussing the big wins for Zendaya and Succession — while not forgetting the Emmys’ bad habits when it comes to picking winners. In the “Glimmer of Hope” segment, the trio discuss the trailers for two new exciting Disney+ series, The Mandalorian Season 2 and WandaVision. For the Watchlist, they discuss I May Destroy You, LOST, Ducktales, and the return of the NFL.
