A sit-com that plays before and after the breaks of a movie playing on AMC. The premise is that Jimmy and Rachel (Jimmy Pardo and Rachel Quaintance) have a show on AMC that appears before and after the breaks, where their special guests discuss the movie they’re watching on AMC along with us at home. But behind the scenes of the show there is intrigue, romance and chaos, which makes things all the more interesting when the show goes “live”.

Other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Scott Turow and many others. Frank McCourt made a special appearance that night and played the harmonica, sort of.
