Season 1, Episode 9 "Hell on Earth" with Cathy and Dave from The Cinemile

Margaret is joined by Cathy & Dave from The Cinemile to break down one of Smash’s most chaotic episodes. From Ivy’s pill-fueled spiral to Karen’s Times Square Rihanna duet (why?!), we dive into what worked, what flopped, and why we’re still somehow obsessed. Plus: Frank finds out, Ellis stirs the pot, and the musical finally gets its name—Bombshell.

🎧 Undiscovered Picks:

• Dave recommends Scavengers Reign (Netflix) — a gorgeously imagined animated sci-fi series that desperately needs a second season.

• Cathy gives a shoutout to Bachelor in Retrospect, a podcast that rewatches classic Bachelor seasons through a feminist and historical lens.
