What to Watch podcast: Jack takes center stage on This Is Us for an emotional episode
In a Jack-centric episode of This Is Us, the Pearson family patriarch heads to Ohio for the funeral of his mother, who he saved from his father's abuse years earlier. "It's a really beautiful, complicated episode that deals with all of that," co-executive producer Casey Johnson teased of the episode written by Elan Mastai. "A lot of it came from his own experience, but Jack's really going to have to face all of that — the good and the bad of his past with his mom."
Doomsday, one of Superman's deadliest and most destructive foes in the comes, arrives on Superman & Lois — and the big bad is the subject of our trivia question; and drama doesn't begin to describe the action on the first part of the Vanderpump Rules reunion, where Lala gets emotional about Randall's cheating, and Raquel opens up about nightmares she's had about her upcoming wedding to James.
Chef Roy Choi, whose Tastemade series Broken Bread is back for a new season, tells us what he's watching — and he has a little complaint about one of the shows.
Plus, entertainment headlines — including Evan Rachel Wood's allegations of sexual assault against Marilyn Manson, Emilio Estevez's replacement on Mighty Ducks; and new info on Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio movie.
