We're just two film and television enthusiasts making recommendations from our respective Netflix queues, with a little banter thrown in between.
During this brief hiatus, we’re pulling out pre-recorded “rainy day” episodes. While visiting Georgia, Stephen and Tim were able to meet up and record a couple episodes in person. In this episode, we revisit a show that Stephen recommended to Tim back in 2011 - but it took nearly 10 years for him to finally get around to watching it!
Back after an unexpected summer hiatus, the gang is back - with all of the original cast! We can’t say the same for The Suicide Squad, a reboot(?), revival(?), variant(?), with James Gunn at its helm.
Stephen, Jared, and Tim discuss another summer streaming release, The Tomorrow War. How does Chris Pratt handle the lead in an action role? Where does it rank in terms of action silliness/forgettability? What movie are we talking about again?
Stephen, Tim and Jared discuss yet another new film - this time a suspense/murder mystery from Netflix. Does The Woman in the Window live up to all the hype?
Remember all that praise we were heaping on Zach Snyder for his Justice League cut? After suffering the zombie bite that is Army of the Dead, Stephen, Jared, and Tim, turn on him in this episode.
Can something so violent give such value to life? The guys continue to explore new film/television releases, and this time with Amazon Prime’s “Invincible”, a brutal and yet heartfelt superhero story.
Stephen, Tim and Jared discuss a new film that is neither flawless nor a victory: the reboot of Mortal Kombat.
Stephen, Tim, and Jared dive into the first season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and examine how well the show was able to juggle all of the ideas and plots in its brief six episode run.
This week Stephen, Tim, and Jared share films that they have a nostalgic affection for, even if critics weren’t fans.
ONE HUNDRED EPISODES.

Today the guys discuss the intricacies of conspiracy theory podcasts, secret maniacal corporations, and hollow earth theories. Nah, just kidding. We just talk about what you came for - silly, larger than life fireworks.
Don’t change that channel! Stephen, Jared, and Tim heat up some TV dinners, relax back in their recliners, and tune in to the meta/fourth wall breaking Marvel series Wandavision.
Stephen, Tim and Jared are as surprised as you are. They expected the audacious 4-hour epic Zach Snyder’s Justice League to be everything that had come to define Snyder: moody, ambitious, overwhelming, gratuitous. But GOOD?
In the sinking plane crash of the DC films, Stephen, Tim, and Jared are rescued by an unexpected but welcome hero - Wonder Woman! Listen as we briefly come up for air to discuss a refreshing superhero film that not only met but exceeded expectations, and reminded us about what we loved about superheroes to begin with.
Stephen, Tim, and Jared take one for the team and revisit the disaster that is Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. While it’s hard to make a comprehensive list of all that went wrong with the film, it’s clear that no matter who wins the fight, the audience loses either way.

Stephen, Tim and Jared try their hardest not to let the recent calamities in the U.S. put a damper on this week's episode. The coup at the nation's capitol not only revealed to them that stealing the Declaration of Independence may actually not be as hard as they thought, but that Nicolas Cage might actually be the hero this country has needed this whole time.
Stephen, Tim, and Jared start 2021 out on a positive note - the potential end of human civilization! In keeping with the general vibe of 2020 they discuss an early ‘00s film that reinvigorated the zombie film franchise, for better or worse.
Stephen, Tim, and Jared sift through the dumpster fire that was 2020 to try to find any embers of hope or lessons learned along the way.

We hope it was as restorative for you as it was for us.
