The TV Dudes Podcast

This week, Nick and Les are hitting the ice! We originally intended to dive deep into Netflix's Strip Law, but after checking out the premiere, it didn't quite make its case with us. It's certainly cute, but it left us feeling a bit "meh" - so we're breaking down exactly where the spark was missing.
Instead, we are pivoting to a favorite: Shoresy Season 5! We enjoyed this season a whole lot, but the big question remains: does it glide as smoothly as the previous seasons, or is it starting to catch an edge? We talk about the evolution of the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs into the NOSHO North Stars, and whether the heart of the show is still beating as strong as ever.
Plus, we've got our weekly TV Diaries featuring the shows that kept us glued to the couch this week. This week, we talk about The Rookie, and how it's really two sitcoms in a trenchcoat pretending to be a drama!

This week, Les steps into the recording booth (metaphorically) with one of the most prolific and charming voices in the industry: Jonah Scott! With the final part of BEASTARS set to premiere on March 7th, 2026, we couldn't think of a better time to sit down with the man behind Legoshi.
We dive deep into Jonah's incredible journey, from his early days in acting to his role in the record-breaking Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle as the formidable Kokushibo. Jonah also shares the positive attitude he likes to bring to his voicework, and tells us all about his latest creation, Alpha Aniki.
Whether you're a die-hard anime fan or just curious about the world of professional voice acting, Jonah's insight into the craft and his experiences make for a truly heartwarming and hilarious conversation.

This week, Nick and Les are heading to Ireland! We are diving deep into the new mystery-comedy from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. We absolutely loved the sharp wit and chaotic energy of our three leads. It is a show that manages to be both hilarious and genuinely gripping, and we're breaking down why this specific blend of Irish humor works so well.
In our TV Diaries, we're catching up on our eclectic weekly watches. Les took a detour into the woods with the new Adams Family horror film, Mother of Flies. It's a folk-horror trip that left him with plenty to talk about regarding atmosphere and those WTF moments the Adams family is known for.

This week, Nick and Les tackle the high-octane world of HBO's Industry. While the showrunner pick didn't quite land for us, it sparked a fantastic, deep-dive discussion on what makes a workplace drama click and where this one lost us in the shuffle. We're breaking down the character dynamics and the relentless pace to figure out why this specific financial world felt a bit inaccessible this time around.
In the TV Diaries, Nick takes us back to the beginning of the end with a The Walking Dead rewatch! It is a fascinating look at how the landscape of television has shifted since Rick Grimes first woke up in that hospital.

This week, Nick and Les are bringing you a double feature that spans from the softest felt to the roughest wasteland. We are diving deep into the silly, joyful world of The Muppet Show special featuring Sabrina Carpenter! If you ever wondered if Sabrina's pop energy would mesh with a bunch of puppets, the answer is a resounding yes. We share our favorite sketches and why this felt like such a warm hug for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Then, is it curtains for Lucy? We wrap up our thoughts on the Fallout season finale! We had high hopes for this journey through the Vaults, and the finale mostly delivered. We discuss what we wanted, what we got, and where we think it's going in season 3. Plus, we open up our TV Diaries to discuss a few standout watches from our personal week! 
Join us for a conversation that's all about finding the heart in every story, whether it's told by a frog or a ghoul.
