If you're hooked on Ryan Murphy's shows, you'll likely soon be hooked on Dear Ryan Murphy, an inventive podcast that dissects his work with the clarity of Bette Davis eyeing her daughter B.D. and pronouncing her a bad actress.

For anyone with a brain, it was clearly a funny bit. But some entertainment outlets and others on Twitter must've checked their brains before the viewing party ...
Hillary Clinton — who I love but who I would never argue was Harvey Milk, yet who has shown herself to be a reliable LGBTQ ally — was a surpise eulogist at Edie Windsor's funeral Friday, prasing the equality hero and imploring all within earshot to stand up for justice.
It went way better than her Nancy Reagan eulogy. Way. Better.

If you're watching Feud, you're probably enjoying it. It has flashes of brilliance, mostly attached to Jessica Lange.
I'm not crazy about Susan Sarandon in this project because she seems intimidated by Bette Davis, and it comes out in her timidity when speaking. It's like she's scared to be a parody, so she winds up being a weak imitation.
I did enjoy the fairly accurate recreation of Bette's undignified promo activities in singing on The Andy Williams Show.
Watch the real deal after the jump ...
