402: Interrogating The CW's Would I Lie To You? - a podcast by Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, David T. Cole

Sometimes American remakes of British comedies are big hits, like The Office! And sometimes they're not, like Taskmaster. Where does The CW's take on Would I Lie To You? land? Panel show aficionado Dan Cassino returns to discuss it. Around The Dial takes us through Minx, The Ultimatum, Beforeigners, Julia, and Atlanta. Dave S. uses his Extra Credit to challenge us to reinvent the dating show à la The Courtship (except...good). Listener Françoise pitches the Top Chef All-Starsepisode "Restaurant Wars: One Night Only" to The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, tag! It's on to a Game Time full of taglines. You won't want to miss this one, and that's the truth!
