This week, Guy Branum, Margaret Wappler and Karen Tongson watched the\\xa0Roseanne\\xa0reboot and they have feelings about it. Strong feelings.

Margaret Wappler is all about Glynn Washington\\u2019s podcast\\xa0Heaven\\u2019s Gate\\xa0which features interviews and stories of surviving members of the deadly cult. The final season of\\xa0The Americans
kicked off last week with the episode\\xa0Dead Hand\\xa0and Karen savors the way it used music. Guy is all about the Netflix show\\xa0On the Block.

With the\\xa0Roseanne\\xa0reboot smashing all kinds of viewing records, the panel weighs in on what it is about the show that gives it such a broad appeal. They also look at why\\xa0Roseanne\\xa0is problematic and why the show\\u2019s take on gender non-conformity may not be as culturally relevant as the show\\u2019s setting would have audiences believe.
