Show notes
Timestamps:"The Last of Us": (00:00:53)"Maniac": (00:22:00)This week, Da Binge Bois continue on their cross country journey with Joel & Ellie by reviewing the fifth episode of the hit HBO Max series. Enrique once again slobbers on his keyboard by comparing the original game to the show with a microscope that would make biologists blush, Eli states his interest in the show and how it pulls him in after the weak introduction of Kathleen, and Tristan sits somewhere in the middle enjoying the show for what it is. After that, Da Bois enter their discussion about Maniac starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stussy, with Enrique describing the show by saying "the destination was greater than the journey", Eli states his general distaste over everything but the finale, and Tristan, in an unsurprising turn of events, enjoyed the show to its fullest and loved most of it and rated it the highest amongst the crew. Next week, everyone returns to review the hit action movie IP Man as the cycle of new shows starts, as well as cover "The Last Of Us Episode 6"!

The supporting cast features Gabriel Luna as Joel's younger brother Tommy and Anna Torv as Joel's smuggler partner Tess.Maniac is an American psychological black comedy-drama streaming television miniseries that premiered on Netflix on September 21, 2018, after being announced in 2016. Patrick Somerville created the series and Cary Joji Fukunaga directed, basing it very loosely on the 2015 Norwegian television series of the same name (starring co-creator Espen PA Lervaag) while drawing inspiration from many more famous films. The 10-episode series stars Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, Justin Theroux, Sonoya Mizuno, Gabriel Byrne, and Sally Field. The plot follows two strangers who connect during a mind-bending pharmaceutical trial set in a retro-future New York City.
