Comedian Megan Stalter delivers signature weirdness with new podcast Confronting Demons
Bonanas For Bonanza
Season 1, Episode 3: The Newcomers
For two seasons of The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project, comedian Andy Daly showcased his hilarious and often morally bankrupt characters under the pretense that one of their “pilots” would be picked up for a full series by the Earwolf Network. After much deliberation—and some overt threats of physical violence—Earwolf has decided to bestow this honor on the Poet Laureate Of The West, Dalton Wilcox, who, having put his monster-hunting obsession to the side momentarily, has launched a watch-along podcast for the TV show Bonanza. Alongside co-hosts Mutt Taylor (Matt Gourley) and Amy Sleeverson (Maria Bamford), Dalton has threatened to rewatch all 431 episodes of the long-running 1960s series, which he praises for its lack of “city slicker nonsense.” Comedian Mano Agapion (We Love Trash) stops by in the premiere episode to offer a modern perspective on Bonanza’s more dated aspects and to teach Dalton a little about early-20th-century queer art. This goes about as well as you would expect. Meanwhile, Amy has some Bible-themed crafts to sell and everyone has a theory about what happened to Ben Cartwright’s three dead wives. As far as rewatch podcasts go, this one is definitively bananas. [Dan Neilan]
