Listen: Firewall & Iceberg Podcast No. 23

Daniel Fienberg and Alan Sepinwall preview the Emmy nominations and answer Reader Mail

The

 
Happy Wednesday. It's time for another summer episode of The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast.
 
After last week's jam-packed podcast, full of finales and premieres galore, this week's is different focused, as we discuss Emmy nominations, answer Reader Mail (with topics including TV directors, whether there's anything to watch this summer on HBO and more) and and cover this week's three episodes of "Undeclared."
 
Just as a warning, next week's podcast will be a special Thursday podcast, allowing us to discuss the Emmy nominations on the morning they're announced. After hitting our Wednesday marks 22 consecutive weeks, we're entitled to do one non-Wednesday podcast.
 
But back to this week's installment...
 
Here's what came up:
 
Farewell to "Party Down" -- 01:00 - 03:00
Emmy nomination preview -- 03:00 - 22:00
Reader Questions -- 22:50 - 34:50
"Undeclared"  -- 35:00 - 48:50
 
As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, where you can also rate us and comment on us. [Or you can always follow our RSS Feed.]
 
And here's this week's podcast...

    No offense, but goddamn, I hope Dan is wrong about Lea Michelle getting nominated as a comedy actress. Girlfriend hasn't made me laugh *once.*

      dan LJA - No offense taken. It's not what I *hope*. It's what I think. Or fear, since I could *easily* come up with six more deserving actresses in the category... Easily... -Daniel

    What is the criteria for an Emmy nomination and who makes or votes on the nominees? I guess I'm looking for the process by which nominees are selected and subsequently voted upon.

    I'm fascinated by Alan's confusion about January Jones. I think she gave the best performance - male or female - of the past year. Period. I don't think she should be punished for the fact that her character is so fascinating. Such a suggestion is baffling to me.

    Also - Julianna Magulies? Gimme a break, fellas.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who saw The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, such a good movie.
