What’s the deal with all of those “pirated” movie and TV clips that show up on TikTok and Instagram? Well, some of them are being quietly breadcrumbed across your feeds by the studios themselves—and it’s proving to be a great way to get people to watch at least one network sitcom.

This week, Emily and Matthew go down the rabbit hole with Alex Cranz, deputy editor at The Verge and host of the Vergecast, and share our deepest darkest secrets: We watch (and like) Young Sheldon.

In this episode:

• Big Bang Theory and weird nerds
• Watching TV on Facebook Reels
