This week, Todd & Preston improvise with part 1 of their third Drive-Time Chat episode, where the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real.

Check out the topics covered by Todd & Preston in this installment...

 - Reasons for the writer & actor strikes
 - Examples of actors’ struggles from wrestling and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
 - Movies & TV shows delayed by the strikes
 - An “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel TV show Todd didn’t even know about
 - Frustration with TV shows nowadays not being like how TV used to be
 - Whether all shows need as much super high production quality that they get now — making some shows cost too much time & money to operate like shows from the past
 - Syfy’s “The Ark” as an example of an allegedly cheaper show that is still enjoyable for stories and characters
 - How easy or hard is it for sci-fi and fantasy to pull off good shows with cheap effects
 - Whether productions should utilize dead malls as shooting locations
 - Todd making a post-Dragon Con pit stop, in 2019, at a mall in Georgia used as Starcourt Mall in season 3 of “Stranger Things”
 - Todd and Preston’s disappointment over a few specific shows being delayed by the strikes:  “The Rookie” season 6, “The Penguin” season 1, “Ghosts” season 3, and “The Boys” season 4.
 - Disney+’s latest MCU show, “Secret Invasion”
 - Preston’s recommendation of “Bluey” (which Dave S. has also recommended in the past)
 - Todd’s quick non-spoiler summaries of “Outlander” season 7 so far, “The Blacklist” recent series finale (after 10 seasons), and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 2 so far
 - Preston’s quick summary of “The Witcher” season 3 so far
 - Preston’s description of what “The Righteous Gemstones” (currently in season 3) is all about
 - Preston’s recommendation of “The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs”
 - Todd’s recent rewatch of Grimm, including his non-spoiler review of the series finale and then — after the outro music — some spoiler talk about one major character
