Did you watch the finale and what are the initial thoughts?

Unidentified 0:20
That's so fire, bro. Did you watch the finale? Hell yeah, dog. Didn't see that one coming, huh? Be careful. Tread lightly. I'm just saying, I didn't see that one coming.

What makes 'Paradise' a must-watch show?

Chris Cote 0:29
They're talking about Paradise, and it's getting a lot of word of mouth, and I always enjoy when these shows get word of mouth, and a lot of my friends start talking about stuff because now I can anticipate binging something. I'm only one episode in, but go ahead. I mean, have the floor here with how good this show is on Hulu. And for those of you who don't know, without spoiling anything at all, it's a president of the United States and his top security person. And it goes from there.
Dan Le Batard 0:57
Yeah, it's a murder mystery. Right. And watching the first episode, you'll be like, OK, all right, whatever. It sounds a little looks a little weird. OK. And then there's a. a revelation at the end of episode one. And that sets the premise for the entire show. And that's what takes it from, okay, another one of these whodunit shows. No, but it's plenty good before that revelation. It's good, but it's also like been done before.
Chris Cote 1:21
Whodunit, been done before. The thing that I felt in the first episode, and I will let you guys speak to it, but the thing that I felt in the first episode that I legitimately have not felt since watching The Shield, which I believe to be one of the best television shows I've ever seen is, is an increasing tension that by the end of this, I feel like I'm going to be personally surrounded because of how bad a situation this is. For sure.
Dan Le Batard 1:46
But even saying that, we can still acknowledge that you've never felt like I'm watching something totally undone before until the end of episode one. And that's what took me from like, okay, this is a cool show to what? And it sets everything else.

How do time hops enhance storytelling in TV shows?

Jeremy 2:03
I'm four episodes in and I'm loving it so far so be careful with the spoilers, but I will say my one critique without This is no spoiler The time hops like we gotcha. It's just like oh my relationship with my father cut to no no seven years earlier We're here. We're gonna show you in one scene how I encapsulate my entire relationship with my father Oh, you should see my kids cut to seven years.

How was 'Paradise' pitched and developed?

Jeremy 2:25
It's just like we gotcha and You can do time hops.
Dan Le Batard 2:28
Typically, I'm not a fan of time hops. I think they do the time hops perfectly. But Dan, I did want to bring this up because I saw this. This was Dan Fogelman, who is the EP of the show. He posted on Instagram... An email he sent to Sterling K. Brown, the star of the show, December 14th, 2022. Hey, man. So here's something different I've been working on for the last few months. Wrote it for slash picturing you. You're the only person who has seen this aside from the four-ish people who run Disney slash 20th. It was turned in 48 hours ago and it's getting a series order. Keep that between us. It's all just happening overnight, but it will be roughly eight to 10 episodes a season for Hulu, couple seasons.
Dan Le Batard 3:11
I have no desire to shoot anywhere besides LA, though we might have to drive a bit to get the location it requires. No one else involved yet. No one else has seen it. This email will self-destruct in two minutes. I know it goes without saying, but never feel pressure on my end. Like Whitney said, I will always love you. Take a read. Tell me what you think. You'll have questions at the end. I have answers. Love to Ryan the fam. Feel better. Two years ago, he sent that email to Sterling K. Brown. Didn't have a cast. Didn't have a green light.
Jeremy 3:38
Isn't that how every show gets started?
Dan Le Batard 3:39
No.
Jeremy 3:39
Like with a pitch to a lead actor? Hey, I wrote this. No, man. No? How is every show pitched ever to an actor? I don't mean to undercut what you're doing, but it just seems like a pretty standard process.
Dan Le Batard 3:50
Usually they pitch to the studio, and the studio either has ideas of who they would want or— Well, we're talking to a movie star here.

What are Juju's thoughts on the 'White Lotus' franchise?

Chris Cote 3:57
He would know how this stuff happens. Sterling K. Brown is great. I love him in just about everything. Juju, what are your thoughts on Paradise? Well, you've told us already, but added thoughts.
