Whiskey with Witcher

Side Quest: Boozing About the Biz

Episode Summary

We're leaving the Continent behind and heading somewhere even stranger—Hollywood! In our newest side quest, we welcome Christina Newhall (aka Tim's wife) back to the podcast to tipsily tackle some of the entertainment questions we've heard arise again and again over the years. What causes some movies and shows to get announced, but never made? Why have TV seasons become so short and the wait between them so long? How come we don't get more official photos, clips and teases in between seasons and films? And are there really showrunners who actively hate the source material they're working on? If you're a Netflix Witcher fan, chances are these are things you've wondered about, so we do our best to provide some answers and sound like we know what we're talking about—no small feat considering we're doing it all while drinking barrel-proof bourbon.
