The OTT Podcast

We are almost to the end of our Friday Night Lights rewatch. Our thoughts on the first half of Season 5 (Episodes 1-6), including new characters like Hastings, Buddy Jr., and Vince's dad, and a HEATED debate about the Julie Taylor/TA affair.

We close the book on Season 4 of Friday Night Lights with a look at Episodes 8-13. Most of the storylines are heavy, but the final two episodes made it worth it, thanks in large part to Michael B. Jordan's Vince. Our takes on Riggins taking the fall for his brother; Becky still being awful; the, uh, abortion stuff; Matt and Julie awkwardness; and the East Dillon vs. Dillon showdown. Also, which is better, oven-roasted turkey or deep fried? Should we pay for a Buddy Garrity cameo for our series wrap-up?You can watch this episode on our YouTube page.
