From Saturday morning cartoons to the evening news to science fiction classics, television programs offer up more information, entertainment, and validation than social media, with the caveat that you have to remain relatively stationary while your sense of self-worth is obliterated. TV shows can be self-contained and episodic, or essentially long-form movies telling much more in depth, expansive stories than a two hour film ever could. It’s no surprise, then, that those movie-loving ragamuffins over at Magellans at the Movies have watched a show or two in their time, determined as they are to sustain an awareness of popular culture in lieu of developing a personality. That’s right, folks, in today’s episode we’re leaving the theater and hopping on the couch to talk all about our favorite stories as seen on the idiot box. Who cares about your mother’s warnings about too much TV rotting your brain, pull up a seat, grab the remote and get those synapses withering!
