This week, Todd & Preston improvise with part 1 of their third Drive-Time Chat episode, where the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real.

Check out the topics covered by Todd & Preston in this installment...

- Reasons for the writer & actor strikes

- Examples of actors’ struggles from wrestling and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”

- Movies & TV shows delayed by the strikes

- An “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel TV show Todd didn’t even know about

- Frustration with TV shows nowadays not being like how TV used to be

- Whether all shows need as much super high production quality that they get now — making some shows cost too much time & money to operate like shows from the past

- Syfy’s “The Ark” as an example of an allegedly cheaper show that is still enjoyable for stories and characters

- How easy or hard is it for sci-fi and fantasy to pull off good shows with cheap effects

- Whether productions should utilize dead malls as shooting locations

- Todd making a post-Dragon Con pit stop, in 2019, at a mall in Georgia used as Starcourt Mall in season 3 of “Stranger Things”

- Todd and Preston’s disappointment over a few specific shows being delayed by the strikes: “The Rookie” season 6, “The Penguin” season 1, “Ghosts” season 3, and “The Boys” season 4.

- Disney+’s latest MCU show, “Secret Invasion”

- Preston’s recommendation of “Bluey” (which Dave S. has also recommended in the past)

- Todd’s quick non-spoiler summaries of “Outlander” season 7 so far, “The Blacklist” recent series finale (after 10 seasons), and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 2 so far

- Preston’s quick summary of “The Witcher” season 3 so far

- Preston’s description of what “The Righteous Gemstones” (currently in season 3) is all about

- Preston’s recommendation of “The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs”

- Todd’s recent rewatch of Grimm, including his non-spoiler review of the series finale and then — after the outro music — some spoiler talk about one major character

Listen now for these topics and stay tuned for Part 2 of the conversation, coming soon.
