We’re back after a week hiatus and, while Jack and I are both exhausted, we’ve still found time to drink and yell about TV — for your aural pleasure, of course.
It’s also the end of this year’s Winter Television Critics Association press tour and I may have hung out with the “American Gods” cast … and I may have told Emily Browning that Jack requested I throw her in a sack. And it may have made things a bit awkward. You’ll just have to listen to find out!
