Getting Into The Ring With Heels

With your co-host panel still smarting over the death of Netflix's wrestling dramedy GLOW, Starz has dared to bring its own scripted wrestling project to the screen in the form of Michael Waldron's Heels; Joe Reid -- a fan of both wrestling AND TV -- joins us to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through Reservation Dogs, The White Lotus (briefly), Fantasy Island, Big Brother, Animal Kingdom, and What If...?. David Ellis Dickerson challenges us to create a TV series that will use the talents of both January Jones and David Duchovny to the fullest advantage. Joe presents the Girls5Eva episode "Cease And Desist for induction into The Canon. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser, and head straight into a Game Time that gets a little romantic. Get into your spangliest leggings and listen!

The EHG gang have been recording this podcast for almost a decade now. In podcasting terms, that makes us positively Methuselahian. Since the start of EHG, our listeners have asked if we had a tip jar or donation system and we'd look at each other and say surely that is a joke, people don't pay other people to do podcasts. We'd email them back "Ha ha ha, good one, Chet" and go about our business. Now we are told this is a real thing that real nice people do. Value for value? In today's topsy turvy world? It's madness but that good kind of madness, like when you wake up at 3:15am and clean your house. Or something. In all seriousness, we are humbled by your continued prodding to get a Patreon page up for EHG and here it is! Extra Hot Great on Patreon
