The Tuesdays crew kicks off 2026 by debating whether New Year’s resolutions are actually useful—or if goals make more sense—before drifting into a wide-ranging conversation about old TV, modern streaming, and the lost art of boredom. A discussion of black-and-white classics like The Honeymooners turns into a bigger reflection on episodic television, reruns, and why today’s shows feel harder to revisit. The group then dives into the conversation happening everywhere right now: AI—what’s funny, what’s unsettling, and what happens when entertainment, images, and even people start feeling less real. Along the way, they also air their thoughts on who (and what) they’re ready to see less of in 2026.
