- Frustration with TV shows nowadays not being like how TV used to be
- Whether all shows need as much super high production quality that they get now — making some shows cost too much time & money to operate like shows from the past
- Syfy’s “The Ark” as an example of an allegedly cheaper show that is still enjoyable for stories and characters
- How easy or hard is it for sci-fi and fantasy to pull off good shows with cheap effects

- Preston’s quick summary of “The Witcher” season 3 so far
- Preston’s description of what “The Righteous Gemstones” (currently in season 3) is all about
- Preston’s recommendation of “The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs”
