The Emmys, not the Emily. Such is the discussion of today's new episode of Pop Chaser, which touches on yesterday's 2021 Emmy nominations. This year's list is made up of a respectable slate of nods (save Emily In Paris' questionable awards season heft), but is the changing face of television keeping us from caring more about awards?
With our streamers algorithmically deciding what we watch, the collective awe over TV's best has lost its glimmer — even if you have Disney+ and are a huge fan of The Mandalorian, you might not have put aside the cash to subscribe to HBO Max to watch Hacks. Does that inability to know and see all inhibit awards enjoyment, or does it simply act as a discovery tool for those looking for more great content?
It's not the only topic we touch on during today's episode — we also chat about Monday's Bachelorette, the men we still don't know, the upcoming Britney court hearing, and some light Satanism. Why not?
