Finally, 130-odd episodes into this podcast, we're talking about the twisted mind of Ryan Murphy. We've picked the terrible show that launched a career of other terrible shows, Nip/Tuck, which dives into the world of plastic surgery with sledgehammer subtlety. We're talking cartel pedophile fratricide. We're talking outrageously poorly aged trans plotlines. Serial killers are involved. This man is a demon.

Snowpiercer
Coming at the crest of a wave of unasked for TV adaptations of movies, it's TNT's Snowpiercer, based on the Bong Joon-Ho movie which itself is based on the French comic about class war on a train that circumnavigates a frozen Earth. The guy from Clipping/Hamilton is here. Jennifer Connelly is here. There's a polycule train car. You get the idea.

House
Everybody lies, and therefore everybody deserves to be berated and tortured by a lunatic. It's the world of House, M.D.! What if Sherlock Holmes called you an idiot while shoving objects up your ass? And also introduced you to the trip-hop stylings of Massive Attack? Apparently that makes for a huge hit!

Entourage
Hug it out, because this week we're talking about the most 2004 show ever made, Entourage. Everybody you know from high school who only talks about crypto now was into this show. Are we?
