"I Consent" meme. A smiling shirtless white man and lingerie-clad woman each look at camera under speech bubbles that read "I CONSENT". To their right, there is a moose under a speech bubble reading "I DON'T!" Text under the images asks, "ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK?"

So great to have @steveagee.bsky.social on the show this week to talk about Meatballs (1979), meatballs (in general), the wonders of summer camp, and the benefit of having a stunt double like Steve has on the hit show Peacemaker.

To prepare for her role on "Severance," Gwendoline Christie spent months in the literal field, hanging with livestock. Long enough to know which breeds of cows she feels safest with! We'll get into that, "Game of Thrones" and "Wednesday" on this week's Bullseye. buff.ly/eP4z73f

Joining us on Bullseye this week is Gwendoline Christie! She’s probably best known for her part as Brienne of Tarth, one of the strongest, most intimidating characters on Game of Thrones. At first…
