Something Different. What if the writer of Men in Black made a show with the complexity of The Wire but directed by Steven Soderbergh. Red & Ivan head to the completely unfamiliar stomping grounds of Manhattan and Queens to watch Full Circle on Max (sans HBO).

One. Nobody was asking for a mini-series adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1988 film Dead Ringer featuring Jeremy Irons as Identical Twin Gynecologists (not a bit). Fortunately, Prime Video specializes in content nobody was asking for and Rachel Weisz has an incredible Jeremy Irons impression. Red & Ivan are out of the Silo and back in an even more hellish scenario: The Present. They talk Dead Ringers on Prime Video.

Outside. The culmination of the first season of Hugh Howey’s Silo Series! We get some big answers and even bigger questions as Juliette opens a can of Whoop Ass on Bernard and the Powers That Be. In a BGaS first, Red is intimately familiar with the source material (Hugh Howey’s Wool), and it’s Ivan that’s along for the ride for Apple TV+’s Silo.
