This week, “The Pitch List” is taking on a variety of exciting recent cultural phenomena: The “S-Town” podcast, Father John Misty’s latest album “Pure Comedy,” the “Thor: Ragnarok” trailer and Louis C.K.’s new Netflix stand-up special, “Louis C.K. 2017.”
A&E editor Dan Goff, A&E senior associate editors Darby Delaney and Sam Henson and A&E senior writer Aline Dolinh join host and A&E editor Ben Hitchcock for a roundtable discussion. The group tackles the most pressing pop culture questions right now: Is “S-Town” an invasion of privacy?, How does Father John Misty’s obnoxiousness play into his music?, Is Marvel attempting to rebrand with “Thor: Ragnarok”? and Does Louis C.K.’s stand-up still hold up?
