‘Shrill,’ ‘The Act,’ and More On This Week’s Podcast

We return to the Water Cooler this week with a look at two buzzy Hulu projects: Aidy Bryant’s Shrill and the Patricia Arquette-led The Act.

We’re back at the Water Cooler after a week off, and it’s a Hulu kind of week. First up, we take a look at Aidy Bryant’s new comedy Shrill. Is this show music to our ears or a shrill noise? Then, we dive into Hulu’s new limited series The Act, starring Patricia Arquette and Joey King. How does the true-crime series capture the shocking story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard? Also, we take a brief early look at FX’s upcoming limited series Fosse/Verdon.

But first, Joey and Clarence take on Marvel’s box office queen Captain Marvel.

Next week, we continue our listener-driven Our Favorite Movies entry with listener Eduardo Gigante’s choice Revolutionary Road. Be sure to catch up on the film before the next podcast drops!

We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
