Summary

Not to be confused with Penny Marshall in "The Looker," this week we're discussing Ryan Murphy's loosely inspired by true events miniseries "The Watcher." We love the New Jersey of it all, how much fun Margo Martindale is having and the extent to which Mia Farrow and Noma Dumezweni got the assignment. We could (and do!) go on all day about our love for Bobby Cannavale and his bedroom furniture. But seven episodes of red herrings that were all more interesting than the truth? And who exactly killed the ferret? Plus, our thoughts on and then impressions of Jennifer Coolidge, how we would have liked to see this all have gone, and the varied success of past Ryan Murphy productions. We wrap things up with some initial thoughts on Dragula Titans, which we'll be covering later this week!Want even more Alright Mary?

0:00.0	Well, all right, scary, all right, scary, I, I keep
0:29.7	thinking about the SNL parody of the watcher being the looker and it's Fred
0:35.6	Armasson as Penny Marshall just sitting on somebody's lawn. Can we talk to
0:40.7	about that? I know, I know, I'm bringing it back because it is so good. Oh, it's
0:46.7	like, oh, did we talk about this? Yes, we did. It's Penny Marshall sitting
0:50.9	outside of 657 Boulevard in a lawn chair. Just looking. Just looking. And my
0:57.4	Margot Martin Dale goes over to her and she's just like, what are you doing here?
1:00.6	And then she just looks at her. Just looking at her. Calm face.
1:05.7	Calm face. Yeah, I, I, I love that image anyway. We are here, if you haven't
1:14.6	guessed, Mary's to talk about the watcher, which premiered on Netflix just a
1:19.9	couple weeks ago, yeah? It did. It came in a couple weeks ago and, and you know, has
1:24.6	been the talk of the town, at least in terms of people who watch TV shows and

1:34.6	talking about it, YouTube channels talking about it and when, and the true
1:37.6	story and all of that. And I feel like it's, the thing to know is that, like,
1:43.8	please don't go into this thinking all of this actually happened. You know, like
1:48.4	part of this happens, but most of this didn't. Most of this didn't. This is not
1:54.2	a Blair Witch project type of group. I, yeah, you don't want to believe that it
2:02.1	happened. That's all I have to say. It's a, it's a nuts-so-little story. I mean, I
2:06.8	love, you know, you know, to back up for anyone who doesn't know about the watcher.
2:10.6	You know what the watcher is. A family moves into this house in Westfield, New Jersey.
