We break down the season finale of HBO’s The White Lotus: what worked, who were our MVPs, and how Emmy will embrace it.

You had your theories. We had our theories. Now, with The White Lotus wrapped for season three, it’s time to break down the episode and the season itself. Joey, Megan, and Clarence offer their takes on the season’s strengths, weaknesses, themes, and best performances. Plus, how deeply will the Television Academy embrace the series’ performances? We rank those actors most likely to receive Emmy love.

But first, Megan returns from the Miami Film Festival and talks about her favorite films screening there.

We close our podcast with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
