Cheer may have dropped back in January, but in the age of Peak TV, what’s a couple months’ delay? Netflix’s docuseries is in the spotlight section this episode, with Noel and Kate checking in on the series, which follows an elite junior college cheer team as they prepare for nationals. Before that, though, there’s a full week in TV to discuss. We kick things off with the comedies, including the return of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and a delightful Schitt’s Creek. Then we move over to genre and the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, plus a surprising Batwoman, an underwhelming Supergirl, the recent, Mirror Universe-fueled episodes of The Flash, and the antepenultimate Doctor Who, which combines Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, and decades-long Who lore as only that show can. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on Cheer, the week’s TV, and more.
