The Final Take
Ep 180: New TV Galore!
Sep 29, 202659 min
There is A LOT of TV happening right now. Nelson and Tim attempt to keep up with the latest season finales, returning favorites, and brand-new shows in Ep. 180: New TV Galore! The guys tackle The Gentlemen Season 2 on Netflix, the Reacher Season 4 finale on Prime Video, Chad Powers Season 2 on Hulu, Brothers and Slow Horses Season 6 on Apple TV+. But before they dive into all that TV, there's an important question to settle: Should you actually go see Avengers: Endgame: Encore in theaters? Tim has a hot take—and, naturally, he is always right! Five shows. One movie. Several strong opinions. And absolutely no guarantee that your watchlist will be any shorter when we're done. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 2:50 Avengers: Endgame: Encore 10:52 The Gentlemen — Season 2 17:40 Reacher — Season 4 28:55 Chad Powers — Season 2 37:10 Brothers 46:45 Slow Horses — Season 6

The Final Take
Ep 179: Fall Movie Primer
Sep 21, 202653 min
Fall movie season is here, and Nelson and Tim are ready to pitch it! In Episode 179, the guys take a trailer-pitch-style look at the fall movie lineup , covering the films being released between now and Thanksgiving. What happens when you take dramatic trailers, ridiculous taglines, explosions, mysterious voices, and questionable plot descriptions and turn them into a podcast? This. Plus, Nelson and Tim give their take on the Emmys , because apparently there weren't already enough awards shows. And finally, Tim provides a dramatic reading of one particularly brutal half-star Rotten Tomatoes audience review of Resident Evil .

The Final Take
Ep. 178: Silo Finale, The Whisper Man & a Mayday Meltdown
Sep 7, 20261h 8m
Season 3 of Silo may be over, but Nelson and Tim aren't done talking! This week, the guys take a deep dive into Silo on Apple TV+ and try to make sense of everything that happened after an entire season of secrets, mysteries, and underground drama. Then comes The Whisper Man on Netflix, which gets spoiled for Nelson—and, as it turns out, Nelson is a little bit scared. Who knew a podcast about TV and movies could become a support group? And finally, things go completely off the rails when Tim unleashes his inner military consultant to discuss Mayday on Apple TV+. Ryan Reynolds, Kenneth Branagh, and some questionable military choices make for one spectacular rant. Plus, the usual nonsense. Because apparently that's what you signed up for.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
