    On today's I'm Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes writer Kim Potts to talk about her brand new book, The Way We All Became The Brady Bunch: How the Canceled Sitcom Became the Beloved Pop Culture Icon We Are Still Talking About Today  (buy it here), along with a new Netflix documentary series, The Pharmacist. At first glance, the dark story of family, murder, addiction, and corporate greed the polar opposite of The Brady Bunch... though, in a way, it's sort of cut from the same cloth. All episodes of The Pharmacist are streaming now on Netflix.

    Today on I'm Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes actor, singer, dancer, podcast host, and 2-time guest Kevin McHale (@DruidDude) to discuss the third season of Elite. Sure, McHale loves the show–plenty of us do–but his love turned into an extremely fun cameo in this season. (There will be spoilers, by the way, so be careful!) McHale also chats about the iconic teen show he used to star in, Glee, and reveals a few episodes he loves more now than he did back in the day. Elite (and Glee) are now streaming on Netflix.

    On today's episode, host Bobby Finger welcomes Entertainment Weekly Digital Director Shana Naomi Krochmal (@shananaomi) to the studio to chat about everyone's favorite Canadian sitcom about impossible economies and wigs: Schitt's Creek! Shana (who hosts podcasts about Schitt's Creek) shares the sweet story about how her wife influenced her to watch, and thoughtfully explains why one of the kindest, most good-hearted shows on TV just might be more transgressive than people give it credit for. All episodes (not counting the final season) of Schitt's Creek are now streaming on Netflix!

    On today's episode of I'm Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes writer Tessa Strain (@tessastrain) to discuss a show she reluctantly became obsessed with and has been telling me about for a while now, Penny Dreadful. She explains the hallmarks of gothic fiction, why Penny Dreadful's omnivorousness is so dang appealing, and even coins the term "galoot-core." (If you want to find out what it means, you'll just have to listen.) The episode contains spoilers, of course, and you can watch all three seasons of Penny Dreadful now on Netflix.

    On this week's episode, host Bobby Finger welcomes writer, editor, and co-host of the podcast This Had Oscar Buzz (@Had_Oscar_Buzz), Joe Reid (@joereid), to chat about John Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch. Important things: here's a link to the Natasha Lyonne commercial referenced by Joe during the episode, and here's a lyric from my favorite Sack Lunch Bunch song: I hate to make a scene at a restaurant /  But there's only one meal that I ever want / Just noodles with butter and not too much / And they have to be the tube kind or I won't touch. Sack Lunch Bunch is now streaming on Netflix!
