For our latest edition, Amanda and Peter had a whole lot to say about last night's Grammy Awards — most of it not exactly nice. From men dominating the winners to odd choices on the part of the producers to Recording Academy president Neil Portnow's very questionable statement(external link) this morning, both of our hosts aren't so sure they're ever willing to watch again.
However, on a happier note, they also get into a bunch of over-the-top television shows that there's no question they will be watching again, from American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace to RuPaul's Drag Race.
Feel free to add your take on the episode's audience question — what was the biggest mistake the Grammy Awards have ever made? — while you watch below:
