It’s been a while since we last talked TV, so the Critic and the Referee decided to delve into the recent offerings from HBO and Netflix. The Critic gives his takes on “Ballers,” “Vice Principals,” “Looking: The Movie,” “The Little Prince,” and “The Get Down.” But, will those offerings appeal to you? Listen to find out! In addition, we have a “Sneak Peek” at “Imperium”: Daniel Radcliffe, once again, proves that he’s willing to take risks in his career. The Critic will give you an idea of whether you should go see this in a movie theater. Our “Did You Know?” segment hilariously references one of the stars of the upcoming “Ben-Hur” remake, and the “Pick of the Week” is in preparation for the return of AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire.” Dive in!
