This week, Wesley tries to sell Alex on Beats 1 radio, which made its debut last week and, according to Wesley, has its virtues. But Alex’s misgivings about the possible bias toward England’s pop priorities is legitimate. Will he try it?

Then it’s on to conversation about Magic Mike XXL, which Alex and Wesley watched together last week. They discuss whether there’s a difference in meaning when a man dances in a movie and when a woman does. They also talk about how Channing Tatum might be the most honest star in Hollywood.

Finally, they don’t want to do it, but it’s on to a conversation — a brief one! — about the lousy, lazy Terminator Genisys, a movie no one appears to have asked for but is here anyway.

Listen on ESPN Podcenter.
