Dan previews discussions of Bronc's race war episode, Garrison's Gorillas' WWII survival, and a new guest host for Ghosted.

The episode is structured into three segments, each focusing on a different short-lived TV show. Dan opens by introducing the format and the guests. In the first segment, Dan and Christopher Blyde discuss Bronc episode 14, titled 'There's Gonna Be a War.' They describe the plot involving two white cops shooting black people in Ocean City, leading to fears of a race war, though the episode ultimately centers on a white criminal's revenge plot. Christopher critiques the episode's average quality and points out a pattern in Bronc where black characters are killed in openings but the stories focus on white conflicts. The second segment features Mitchell Hadley analyzing Garrison's Gorillas episode 11, '20 Gallons to Kill.' Mitchell explains the plot where the team is shot down over Yugoslavia and must create a still to fuel a stolen tank. He highlights character moments, particularly Actor's ability to anticipate Garrison's plan to destroy a Nazi radar installation. Mitchell praises the show's realistic stakes and subtle character development. The third segment introduces guest host Amy to discuss the pilot of Ghosted, a 2017 Fox comedy. Dan summarizes the premise: a mall cop and an astrophysicist are recruited by a paranormal agency to find a missing agent. Amy shares her thoughts on the chemistry between leads Craig Robinson and Adam Scott, the supporting cast, and the show's blend of comedy and supernatural elements. They note the compressed pacing typical of a 20-minute sitcom and reference dated elements like a Kevin Spacey joke. The episode concludes with Dan teasing the next Ghosted episode and thanking the guests.
