Best Medicine (PILOT)

Season 1 Episode 745

FOX has kicked off its 2025 scripted slate with Best Medicine, a U.S. adaptation of the beloved British hit, Doc Martin. The series stars Josh Charles as Martin Best, a brilliant but antisocial surgeon who swaps his high-stakes Boston career for a small coastal town in Maine. In this podcast, we break down the 42-minute pilot "Docked," to see how it stacks up against the 2004 original. We also talk comparisons, trivia, favorite moments, reception and rating. Tune in and Welcome to Today's Episode!

SPEAKER_01:

Welcome to today's episode, the podcast where we discuss the most recent installments of a different series every show. It is Tuesday, January 6th. This weekend, Fox decided to air a new scripted comedy. They do this once or twice a year. Best Medicine. This show is a spin-off or adaptation of the original UK version of Doc Martin. Doc Martin, incredibly popular, went for 18 years, 10 seasons. But this is this is one of two big premieres for Fox this month. The other stars Patrick Dempsey as a hitman with Alzheimer's. Memory of a killer, right? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. You know, it's also based on some some adaptation from a foreign uh film and I think a T uh book. But the thing that's interesting also about like the way that Fox is putting out their scripted content. Last year they had a medical show where the doctor had memory issues, and then they also had a comedy in Going Dutch where it was a fish out of water situation. This year you have a medical comedy where a doctor is a fish out of water, and then their other show is about yeah, the killer part is new, but with memory issues, and it feels like all the formulas were like stuck into a big cap and they just pulled out the cards of how they were going to mix them up this year. You know, they feel like two versions of the same thing.

SPEAKER_00:

We're doing we're doing the same pattern though, uh, that we did last year, where at the beginning of 2025 we reviewed Harlan Coben's Missing You, and then our first review this year was Harlan Coben's Runaway.

SPEAKER_01:

So you're saying Fox isn't alone, they're putting out the same type of shows, but we are also reviewing the same type of shows. But I'm blaming Fox for that, though. Well, the shows that we're talking about having done is Doc and Going Dutch. Now we did start off the year with another Harlan Coben, like we did last year, but those three, I feel like, yeah, we're just going in tandem with what they did.

SPEAKER_00:

With the with the Fox comedies. Yeah, no, I agree. The first time that I had heard about Doc Martin was actually back in the summer of 2011. I remember I was with my grandma. It was her favorite show, and we were in New York, and she really wanted to leave Times Square, and I was swept up in like the glitz and glamour of Times Square, but we hopped on an e-train and then went back to the place that we were staying, and she quickly went to the TV and turned it on, and then she watched Doc Martin, and the episode had Chris O'Dowd, whom I had just seen for the first time on the IT crowd like a month prior.

SPEAKER_01:

You know what's nuts about that is that the secretary, because we both watched the Doc Martin pilot in preparation of this show and also the finale. And the secretary gets replaced so much in that show that one of the seasons they had Catherine and I forget her last name, but she was the boss in the IT crowd. It was the next episode. It was the next episode.

SPEAKER_00:

So you saw both both characters. Well, no, the thing was that uh actually the weird thing about the rerun was it was the film between seasons two and three. But I clicked on the next episode a couple days ago just to see if they had any more guest stars, and she showed up. So it was season three, episode one that you were talking about. I wish I remembered the Chris O'Doubt episode, but it was like 15 years ago. But the weird thing was, I remember around 10 years later, I was having breakfast with my grandma, and I was asking if she was seeing anything good. And she still bought up Doc Martin, and I was so surprised to see that it was still on, and not only still on, it only ended like in very late 2022, right?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, no, so like it reminds me of Downton Abbey where you keep on thinking the thing's gonna end and then it never does, it comes out with another special films, and yeah. Even after the finale, like two weeks later, they have a Christmas special. So I think it's gonna be different for best medicine.

SPEAKER_00:

But it was strange though, because best medicine took so long to come out, right? Because when you look at like Britain to US TV shows, like Shameless, it took seven years. The Office took around four years, and then even Dancing with the Stars, which also came from Britain, took like a year to come out. With Best Medicine, it took 22 years for them to make it a US remake.

SPEAKER_01:

True, but they didn't actually green light the series until like May of this year. So it was actually a fast track once it was decided that that is what they wanted to do. I have a bit of a quiz for you. You'll probably get these answers, right? Because we just talked a little bit about them. But the last we reviewed a medical show on Fox was Doc. Doc, correct. Best Medicine takes place in a fictional town in Maine. What was the last TV show that we did set in Maine? And it doesn't have to be a real town either. Oh, was it It Welcome to Dairy? It was It Welcome to Dairy. Rob Lowe and Josh Charles have one thing in common because I don't think they've ever worked together. However, they've worked for the same person before. Who do they dislike the most?

SPEAKER_00:

Dislike, I I haven't heard that is it like Aaron Sorkin? Because I know that with Rob Lowe, he was on the West Wing, and then Josh Charles was on sports night, right?

SPEAKER_01:

Sports, sports night? Is that really what the name of that thing was in the the one with William H. Macy? I think so. Yeah. So but Aaron Sorkin is the correct answer. Uh, I don't think he's as disliked as Quentin Tarantino is now, like Owen Wilson's. But and then my last question for you is that Best Medicine has a lot of adaptations out there. You the US is one of the later ones for sure. Um, and because it's an international worldwide hit, there are other shows that have also had a lot of adaptations. I'm gonna give you three here. Okay. Rebel Day. Okay, remember when we talked about that? The Office, you know that there's a good number of versions of that, and Doc Martin. Put that in like least to most adaptations for me.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, well, this is this is gonna be rough because I know that The Office has like at least, I would guess, five. So I'm going to put Rebel Day Doc Martin in the Office from least to most adaptations.

SPEAKER_01:

Wait, say that again?

SPEAKER_00:

Rebelde, Doc Martin.

SPEAKER_01:

Rebel Day has the least, you think? Yes. Okay, even though we talked about it before.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, that that that's my guess.

SPEAKER_01:

That's a bad guess. I think that it's over seven for Rebel Day. And I think for Doc Martin, it depends on how you count it, because it like there's between eight to ten different versions of that out there. Um, and some of them have crazy different names that I can can't pronounce. But then there's also like Doc Doctor Martin and Dr. Mateo and stuff like that. And then The Office, I think, has like 15 different versions of The Office. Office has a crazy amount.

SPEAKER_00:

So least to most adaptations I got right, because I said Rebelde, Doc Martin, and The Office. I know, but the Rebelde one, I'm not even sure about.

SPEAKER_01:

I really should have really thought this like yeah, question out more. But Best Medicine, first episode's called Doc. It was like 40, 50 minutes. Yeah, 42 minutes. You're the only one who watched it between the two of us.

SPEAKER_00:

I was thinking that it was going to be 20 minutes, but then when I saw it was 42 minutes, I was like, oh, okay, these are going to be our episodes.

SPEAKER_01:

And is it just a carbon copy of the 2004 pilot? Do I know it 100% because I've seen that two?

SPEAKER_00:

You know basically a lot of it. I'd say it's like three quarters the same, 75%. I'd say.

SPEAKER_01:

No, no.

SPEAKER_00:

And I and I would venture to say that Josh Charles was probably younger than Martin Clunes was when he did Doc Martin. I I think they were both in their like mid to late 50s. Really? Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

However, however, Martin Clunz has been cast in this show. Has he really?

SPEAKER_00:

As Doc Martin? Because he's Martin Best here. That's one of the that's why it's called Best Medicine. Yes. Martin Best may have a dad. You're saying Martin Clunes is going to play the dad?

SPEAKER_01:

Quite possibly. There have been a lot of yeah, I don't think that's spoilers, right? Like it's not, okay. I mean, it would be a spoiler if like you tuned in and you're like, oh, that's amazing, but like it's not a twist.

SPEAKER_00:

But here, it like you give me the recap of the first episode of Doc Martin, and I'll tell you what's different in the US adaptation.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I okay, that would take me to having to do it off the top of my head. But I do have the actual description of this first episode. It says a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston, yeah. To become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent his summers as a child.

SPEAKER_00:

I was so glad that they kept the name Portwen, which is also the name uh that Doc Martin actually says in the British show, but it's Portwen, Oregon here.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes. Or Maine. Sorry, Portwin, Maine. No, no, no. I I think you're right about that. I do know that they filmed in New York, though. Oh. Because it's tax incentives and all that stuff. But like they did make it look enough like uh, what is it, Manchester by the sea, you know? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, you definitely get the sea uh parts, even Gilbert, the person who is growing breasts in this episode, he's working at the docks. But uh it's you're gonna have to explain that one to the people who haven't seen it. Right. So Doc Martin, he has an intolerance for people. He has a fear of blood and he deals with trauma from like a past surgery, at least in this uh rendition.

SPEAKER_01:

So he's an antisocial lead on the likes of like Sheldon, Resident Alien, boss lady from Silicon Valley, or even because they don't know if he's part of the on the spectrum ever, like that's been talked about a little bit, but like the good doctor, fans theories and stuff like that. Regardless, it's been there's like childhood trauma baked into it. So that stunted him at some point in his life. And so there's you've got this already stunted but brilliant doctor.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. And like the first episode of the British series, he sharply clashes with townsfolk first with Luisa, who I'm sure Luisa is going to have a bigger part, but in both the brand series and this episode, she's not in it too much, but he's able to correctly see that she has glaucoma due to her eye.

SPEAKER_01:

Now, he diagnosed her with that in the first like scene where he's getting hired. But it makes it sound like you're saying he's already in the town when he diagnoses.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, so that that's a difference, right? Because he's looking at Louisa on an airplane in the British version, but actually in the US version, he's already in uh in Maine. I think he's driven there and he's in a shack and Louisa walks in. So it's a difference. He's in a shack. Well, he's he's trying to buy a coffee, so it's like a small, tiny store. Okay, so it's not like he just owns a shack. But then, very much like the brand version, he goes to the board meeting and they uh and he sees that Luisa is there. She's not a fan of him because they uh exchanged words, but everyone decides that since they don't have any doctors and there's not a lot of people auditioning to be doctors, uh, they're going to pass him, and Luisa is the only one that doesn't raise her hand.

SPEAKER_01:

Very much a fish out of water scenario. We saw it with Going Dutch, we saw it with trial and error where the lawyer comes in there. We saw it with Heart of Dixie, which I think was a practice. I don't know if it was medical or if it was a lawyer practice. And then the showrunners themselves have even talked about northern exposure, even though I haven't seen the show. They say it's a lot like that, but meeting house. So, like you got the brilliancy of the doctor coming in there and also just the standoffish disregard for like normal feelings, and uh, and then you have the northern exposure element of the small town.

SPEAKER_00:

But I think it's important to talk about really the medical case this episode, which is the fact that yes, two men in particular, well, one of them is named Gilbert, is growing breasts and we don't exactly know why. And uh, and Susan, she's using an estrogen cream, and that ends up being the culprit because she's not waiting enough time for it to actually like do its work.

SPEAKER_01:

I wonder if that would explain my PE teacher in middle school.

unknown:

What?

SPEAKER_01:

No, so like, yeah, two dudes show up with boob, and it's a well-known condition, and he's able to diagnose it uh immediately, but how does he figure out that it's the white? Like, does he have a in the in the original Doc Martin, the wife comes up to him asking for a prescription? So it makes it rather obvious. Is that the same here? Yes, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, he's leaving a store and she's saying that she uses estrogen cream because apparently it helps her sex life word for word. But what what ends up happening later on in that episode in the Doc Martin, what does Susan do?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, the reason that there's two dudes and not just her husband with it is because she's clearly having an affair.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, and so Susan is caught having an affair with a younger guy. I don't even know if we got the younger guy's name in this episode, but he did end up showing up earlier to Doc Martin, and then um and then they kind of uh The funny thing about the original was he like stages some sort of meeting between the three of them, not just the husband and the wife. And that was so different than the US version because uh even though Gilbert was working on the docks that day, Susan and the person she was cheating with were literally having the affair inside one of the boats. So it just seemed like it was very coincidental in that way. But because of all this ensuing chaos and the fact that he's not really enjoying the job so much, uh it follows the same trope of the first episode of the brand series where Martin Bess he wants to leave Port Wendy's like, you know what, I just can't handle this.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you get a montage of him treating a bunch of patients, or is he still in the mode of like, oh shit, the faucet's broken and I haven't even officially opened up yet?

SPEAKER_00:

Like there's there's no montage, but you do actually see him working on some people. Like there's a guy named George who runs a bar and he hurt his leg, and you see him trying to help with that. You also see him uh really the estrogen cream storyline was kind of the main things, but there's still a lot of similarities and almost uh definitely things from the first episode of Doc Mara and the British series to hear similarities being snarky teens at the beginning, a dog running inside uninvited. However, here he doesn't try to kick out the dog ever.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm happy they kept the dog because they kept the names of the original cast, like Martin, Louisa, Elaine, Mark, and the ant, though they changed the last name of the ant because I I figure her first name is Ant. Um Yeah, no, I was but they didn't change it to like a cat. Like in Harlan Coben's show, they showed changed the dog to a cat.

SPEAKER_00:

They did no little small changes, yeah. And aside from uh Martin being Martin Best, I was glad that they kept the names too. It makes it easier that way. But yes, the fossa is broken, the two guys are growing breasts. Elaine is flyer inspired but hired later on. They kept that as well.

SPEAKER_01:

Talk to me about Elaine, because she's from Turtles All the Way Down. And I love all the way down. And I looked it up and it's actually like a very well-known expression. It's kind of like the it mythology of the famous super turtle or whatever that's holding everything on its back.

SPEAKER_00:

I was a little uh annoyed with it because what they did was they made Elaine at least play younger and also she's become an influencer, which feels like they were just using like it's like Gen Z Ruby. Yeah, the Charlie Pooth show, Gen Z Ruby, I Love LA. It was very reminiscent though, because it didn't feel they did it um good. But Gen Z Ruby was great. Like Man on the Inside, where like all young people have the same type of archaic caricature, which is basically that they're just dumb and obsessed with their phones.

SPEAKER_01:

Anyone turning tuning into this who is from the original crowd, though, kind of already falls into the group that would enjoy that sort of human, like making fun of kids.

SPEAKER_00:

It's it's true because yeah, this is definitely made for an older audience and just like the original was.

SPEAKER_01:

So I hear that Luisa, she's not just given the love interest of Martin Best.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, no. So she was supposed to get married to this guy named Mark, and he is the town sheriff.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And then uh Mark still wants to have the party that they had planned at the bar. She's just uh they're just not actually going to get married.

SPEAKER_01:

Is this like another US adaptation moved over uh from the UK? Shameless, where Fiona has like the the cop who's into her, but at the same time, she's wanting to date like the newbie, the the new guy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, it what it did was it changed the reason why uh Martin Bess wanted to stay in Portland. In in Portland. He wants to change he wants to be with her already. No, no, no. What happened was Mark kind of confides in Bess, even though he's drunk about his failed marriage after he's done dancing at the top of the party, and he's talking about how like they need a doctor and how he needs to stay. And I remember in the Briton version, it was like he was actually giving medicine to the person that he was talking to. Here he just comes across Mark, but he decides, you know what, yeah, I'm going to help people. And then we get the scene of him uh taking the sign out and pulling the sign and not throwing it in the ocean this time, but throwing it in the yard. So that's why Martin Best is staying.

SPEAKER_01:

It's strange because in the poster of this thing, he is in a desk uh on top or on the sea. In the sea, yes, and uh or whatever. So he's not throwing it into water.

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, he just throws it into his yard. And I think that the poster you're talking about is shown in the intro because there's an intro of it, and I think, yeah, he's right behind it. But uh, I would say that the things I like the most about the episode probably was the fact that they kept the names. There's also a pig in the bar that I was talking about named Frisket, and he likes bacon. That was probably my favorite shot. I also like there was a cool shot 20 minutes in where Martin closes a sliding door, and you can see reflecting off of the sliding door glass uh the town, but he's behind it. And I thought that that was a nice way to show kind of the distance between the two of them and how there's something kind of blocking it.

SPEAKER_01:

How about the PTSD storyline? Because I heard they kind of expanded on that too, where not only is this guy he's emotionally challenged, he's got uh hemophobia, which we haven't talked too much about yet. But and then he also, yeah, he has this PTSD. Is it that he is is Rosemary his sister? Or like, because I know that name was just thrown in the room.

SPEAKER_00:

I think I think it might be. I know at the very end of the episode he's holding a picture and there's two kids there. And I was trying to figure out if he was one of the kids or if it was two girls and what it means. I'm sure that they're going to go more into it uh with the later episodes.

SPEAKER_01:

But that finds interesting that they chose rosemary because rosebud is so similar, and it's just it's just gonna be a snow shed or something. It's gonna be what are they, what are they called? A sled. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

With yeah, rosemary, I think. No, but I the thing is is that uh that feeds into my cons because I felt like there was more drama in this than there needed to be. Any drama in Doc Martin, the British version, was kind of subtle and it was more just from the situation.

SPEAKER_01:

There were so many quips, like low, low-stakes jokes that were so quick, like yeah, because like he he just by like micro expressions, right, could kind of like do a thing and uh and then you'd move on to the next thing in very British humor. It would just be like there'd be five jokes in a second, but then at the same time, most of them wouldn't translate to America perfectly well. This, I assume they had to like adapt that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah. And and that's I think just part of the reason why they kind of filled it more with drama. Like the thing that you're talking about, uh, he almost runs his aunt accidentally off the road, and then uh Martin Best comes out and he starts talking about this operating, uh, he was operating on an eight-year-old girl who got in a crash. And it's like this full like three-minute scene, and it felt like it was just like the most chalk-filled, like we need to make it dramatic. This is why was he telling her about this eight-year-old though? Because this this was part of the reason um, because of all the ensuing chaos with Susan getting uh getting divorced and just like all these emotions coming up. One of the reasons why he wanted to leave Portwin, because he didn't want to become a doctor. He didn't get divorced though, right?

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, yeah. So, like but this is what led him to his hemophobia? Was it during that um uh working on the eight-year-old girl who was in the accident?

SPEAKER_00:

I think it's just it was to show that he didn't want to become a doctor again, but that's what led him to go to Portwin, I think.

SPEAKER_01:

Right, but he does he does faint in this, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, he sees blood and then he like faints on the sidewalk.

SPEAKER_01:

Would you want a doctor who is uh afraid of blood? Probably not, no. I mean to diagnose me, I'd I think it'd be awesome.

SPEAKER_00:

But it was it was more weird that I I didn't know that like I guess it makes sense, but hemophobia people can be scared by their own blood as well.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they can be scared by their own blood as well as they're getting bloody noses.

SPEAKER_01:

It's interesting, right? Because there's all these different degrees of it, and there is an official name to it. It just escapes me at the time. But I have like fainted while uh not while giving blood, but after giving blood, just from the sensation like over 15 minutes later, just like kind of sitting there uh and and I forgot to eat. And I think you're supposed to like replenish with your foods and stuff. It wasn't the sight of blood that got me though. It was like the feeling of having lost my blood, and then like, yeah, just just it's it's weird. I'm saying, like, don't don't judge.

SPEAKER_00:

But when it comes to things like that, I didn't like how thrown in some scenes also felt. Like a lady randomly walks up to him at a store and shows him uh a band. Bandage full of blood.

SPEAKER_01:

And it seemed because they hear about it from the other townspeople. Oh, this guy's afraid of blood.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, she was like, Can you help my son? Because this is from the bandage that was on his knee. And it just felt like it was purely there to show that he was afraid of blood. Like it didn't seem it just it didn't feel seamless at all.

SPEAKER_01:

It would have been funny if they had him like respond like a vampire being shown the cross, you know, where he just like Yeah. Um so famous people with hemophobia. I did look this up. Darwin had it, which is crazy because of all the insects. I guess insect blood is different. Um Priyanka Chopra Chopra, uh Priyanka Chopra Jonas, right? Um she's she's afraid of blood, and then also James Franco says he's squimish around it. So not necessarily like he's gonna faint or anything. And then in it reminds me always of like Lost when Hurley is helping Jack in like the second episode and he like tumbles over because he he faints from blood.

SPEAKER_00:

Whenever, whenever they show uh Martin Best here, because it's a couple times that he sees blood, it always goes into like slow-mo and close up on his face, and it always does like color grading as well. Yeah, so they they definitely were milking it. Is this a midlife crisis for the dude? Uh maybe. I mean, they're treating it that way, I think, because uh I I I maybe they not for like his money, because he's clearly a doctor, he's got a ton of money, but like as far as just life decisions, yeah, because that's how it's treated in the brand version as well. But here, yes, very much so, because he's again having to move to a new town and meet new people and not really enjoying that. But I felt like that was almost at the cost of the TV show because it felt like they were doing too much, uh, like too many storylines, but it also felt like there was so little impact to them. Can you see it getting better over time? It felt like they were just throwing too much at the screen with so little impact because you had the man boob storyline, best trying to become a doctor, his familial problems with his aunt, Mark and Luis's wedding, Martin needing to leave and then deciding to stay. And it just the dog? Yeah, the dog. Uh not to mention all of the uh character introductions as well. And it just felt like it was kind of information overload after a while. Even though it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_01:

If I'm asking, like again, uh 10 episodes in from now, do you think it's gonna find its own footing, or do you think it's just destined to I I thought Doc was gonna fail. And Doc is in a second season. I thought Going Dutch didn't really have legs. It doesn't seem like their scripted comedy or comedy, scripted uh shows are the ones that are really pushing the network forward forward, and that's why they're distanced themselves. They've only put out like two each year.

SPEAKER_00:

Perhaps now that the plot is kind of is is shown, and I'm assuming it's gonna go in an episodic format, we might be past the worst. Yeah, we might be past the worst, but it's still a reason why I can't give this episode a passing grade. I have to give it a four out of ten.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, it's our second of the year, so that's okay. We have time to find better shows. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

Had I had I not seen the original Doc Martin, because I do think that played a factor, I maybe would have given this a point more. But if the show was good enough, it shouldn't matter that you've seen the original for it to just be good on its own merits.

SPEAKER_01:

It also, I don't know how much this matters, but it felt like when seeing the Doc Martin 2004 one, the filter on that was like kind of grayscale. Yes. And in this, every time I saw an ad for it, it was very bright and like saturated, despite the fact that it took place near the sea, where usually you see kind of a darker atmosphere.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. No, no, no. That that's that's very true. It's it's just kind of very normal looking.

SPEAKER_01:

New York Times wrote a piece up about Josh Charles. Nice guy. He's uh he even took out, I think, the the rig people, the people who were like doing all the sets and stuff, uh for for like a meal, uh, definitely like trying to pass it back for the success that he's had. A V Club said that the show, though, lacks depth. The cider did say to stream it. Roger Ebert said it was a shoddy import. Pace said the characters weren't quirky enough.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, no, no, no. I I definitely feel like they're definable in the original show. Here, yeah, I don't think that there was like really There's not enough of an edge. Yeah, there wasn't like a character that did something specific, aside from maybe Elaine being the influencer type.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, yes, and her name is Cree. Like, that's the way she's built on at least. Like C-R-E-E. Yeah, exactly. And I should point out that the showrunner, Liz Taculo, uh two C's there, so that I'm not sure if it's a sound or whatnot, but she co-wrote He's just not just Not That Into You, which was that movie from 2009, but she co-wrote it earlier than that. And she also did a lot of work for Sex in the City, which makes me think like she's used to writing these kind of like flirtatious, you know, like kind of uh risque type storylines. And this could not be farther away from that. So it's interesting, yeah, why the network would have chosen her to lead this. Maybe she's just a giant Martin Clunes fan. Um yeah, but that's where we'll lead it. The next show we're doing is his and hers. Uh, I don't think that there's a comparison towards what we did last year for that one. It's based off a book. Uh, who's gonna be in it? John Barenthal. John Barenthal's gonna be in it. It's a mystery thriller on Netflix. Thanks for listening. We'll see you on the next episode. Hope you enjoyed this one. Bye. Bye.
