On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, THE PITT has been drawing in huge audiences and driving up MAX subscriptions. Not only that, but with shows like Pulse on Netflix and Grey's Anatomy getting yet another renewal, we felt it was time to dive into this resurgence of medical TV shows. Most importantly, why do we love this genre so much?

Also on this week's podcast: we discuss how outside opinions affect our enjoyment, if revenge is too glorified, a new game of This or That, upcoming attractions, plus spoiler-free reviews of The Amateur, The King of Kings, and Drop!
