From Max undoing its own rebrand to Disney trotting out football players at Upfronts, the state of TV in 2025 is one big mess – and we’re here to walk you through it. This week, we unpack everything from the future of The Last of Us after its season 2 finale, to the crushing brilliance of Andor Season 2, to the onslaught of nostalgia-bait reboots (Scrubs, Buffy, Malcolm in the Middle, oh my). We talk about the real reasons behind these reboots, what’s wrong with modern streaming strategy, and why physical media might be the only thing saving your favorite shows from oblivion.
