Welcome to Rolling Stone and OBB Sound's new podcast Too Long; Didn't Watch! Here's a sneak peek at what's to come in Season One...
Spotted: Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Baby Driver) falls into a very different Manhattan that is the CW’s GOSSIP GIRL. Have his days playing Don Draper prepared him for the drama of New York City’s prep school elite?
Alison Brie (Promising Young Woman, Happiest Season) gets drunk with power as she watches GAME OF THRONES for the very first time. After her time on TL;DW, will she return to Westeros and check out all 8 seasons, or will her watch end with us?
Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick) adds Private Investigator to his resume when he sits down with us to watch VERONICA MARS. Will his signature sarcasm help solve the mystery of what happened to Lilly Kane?
He may not have watched the whole series, but Rob Huebel (Children’s Hospital, Transparent) sat down with us pre-pandemic to watch THE LEFTOVERS, sparking a remarkably timely conversation about what lies ahead for the folks of Mapleton and the world alike.
Treat yo self to Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill, Chicago Med) getting crunk on snake juice! Uh, we mean... watching the first and last episodes of PARKS AND RECREATION with us. Will her love for TV match Leslie Knope’s unbridled enthusiasm for public service, friendship, and of course… waffles?
Lena Dunham (Girls, Tiny Furniture) pulls up a seat where everybody knows your name. It’s Sam and Diane time kids!
Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings, Future Man) comes on TL;DW to see what’s cooking in one of Alan’s favorite series, BREAKING BAD. Will she dig Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s chemistry or be as lost as a Fleetwood Bounter in the New Mexico desert? Yeah, podcasts! Yeah, science!
Primetime TV’s favorite couple Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Children’s Hospital) and Nick Offerman (The Great North, Parks and Recreation) dig up their flannel to watch MY SO-CALLED LIFE. The series may have only lasted one season, but we can’t help but wonder how Karen Walker and Ron Swanson would handle so much teenage angst should they have been a part of this ’90s cult classic.
In an extra special episode of TL;DW, Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love) watches herself act in the pilot of THE GOOD WIFE. Did her brief experience giving a groundbreaking performance to the minor (yet incredibly important) role of Sonia the secretary give her a leg up in guessing where this series goes?
We end our first season with Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) watching DEXTER through his fingers. Having only watched the first and final episodes, will he be able to stomach one of the most controversial finales of all time?
