14 - Is '3 Body Problem' a Success? And 'La Chimera'

Kicking things off with an in-depth breakdown of Netflix’s 3 Body Problem.

Sci-Fi aficionado and Three-Body book-reader Joseph Piaker joins the show as he and The Schmear discuss where the new Benioff and Weiss series succeeds and where it comes up short (2:00), before digging in to how the show REALLY is doing and if we can expect a Season 2 order (31:00). We wrap up discussing 3 Body’s real-life implications (37:15).

Then the chief correspondent of the Euro-Schmear desk, Elvire Audi, returns to discuss the new Neon release, La Chimera, Alice Rohrwacher’s beguiling new Italian adventure drama starring Josh O’Connor (50:17).
