  • The first answer to a 10-episode Netflix remake is an emphatic yes: ten episodes in Italy.
  • The hosts say a remake is already being made with Andrew Scott, the hot priest from Fleabag, as Ripley, unsure whether it is for Amazon or HBO Max rather than Netflix.
  • The hosts say there are five Ripley books and four or five film versions, and that con man stories are the best.
  • A reservation says the story is still a little evil and following this person for 10 hours is a little much; the reply is that he would not turn until about episode five, as Breaking Bad delays judging Walt.
  • A joke defense of Walt follows, refusing to judge his choices from far away.
  • The hosts then state it is a Showtime show of eight episodes written and directed by the screenwriter of The Irishman, and they are excited for it.
