679: Best TV Shows List, Tom Cruise Flops and Anne Hathaway Dominates

In this episode, we recap this week's pop culture news. Join us as we weigh in on the New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century list and lovingly, or aggressively, side-eye its most overrated picks and biggest snubs. Plus, we celebrate the predictable box-office flop of Tom Cruise’s new movie Digger, and discuss whether Anne Hathaway’s recent film run has officially earned her Hollywood’s Championship Belt.
