It's Slasher time on the Lexx! It's not a bad time except for my own genre proclivities I suppose. They're sort of trying for this one a little bit? Maybe this was a bad time to talk about our favorite sci fi episodes at the start. Sorry Wake the Dead you're no Living Witness. You're not even Meld. Now that was a good serial killer Sci Fi episode. The X-Files one where they get the Chucky guy to be the killer wasn't bad either I suppose. Anyway we also watch one of my favorite SG-1 episodes of a...

Very short ep and I didn't even audio truncate this one! Well, we find a spectacular lack of things to talk about with Lexx and you know, it's hard to find stuff to say about anarchist art projects. I did rewatch some of it and missed one of the guys complaining about the social safety net so you know. Potentially like 45 minutes of podcasting left on the table there, sorry about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP9itybQ16A You can email us at wecouldbewatching@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast. S...

It's a good thing this is a not-Stargate show and not a Lexx show. Because if it were a Lexx show, we would be at a real crisis as it becomes more and more apparent that the show has somehow run out of fumes. But look, you don't have to watch Lexx. You Could Be Watching(tm) The Protector, a martial arts movie that kicks ass with some of the single best action scenes ever done. More importantly than all of that: In this episode, Sanga makes a FATAL MISTAKE THAT WILL HAUNT HIM FOR ALL TIME. You ca...

Not a great week for our selection of things we are watching necessarily, but a pretty good week for the podcast itself I think! Lexx is at it's absolute craven laziest and we struggle to say much about it, but have much more to say about the slightly uplifting military propaganda piece of Renaissance Man. I think I would like to see Ghiaccio teach a class of kids. That's what Araki should be working on as a spin-off instead of those Rohan things. Ghiaccio needs to reach the children. Austin Wal...

Hello! Technically this is a day late, but also technically we don't have a real episode day date, so I would like to say our normal release date is Sunday and I am simply consistently very early. Anyway this episode we deal with an incredible achievement (making a deeply mid court episode) and then something that made Sanga cry with it's beauty. So, you know, lots of great things happening all around. I was also deeply tired during this one due to the power of Australian time zones and Daylight...

It's a barrel of laughs and a hootenanny all in one in this exciting episode of We Could Be watching! Lexx has sort of conceptual hypothetical series of laughs brought upon by a number of setups that should be fun in theory but no one really puts in the work to take it home. At least we have a wonderful animated movie, too stale for even the Nostalgia Critic to touch apparently? Well, at least we have the kid in Old Enough getting scared by a dog to Gundam 00 Music. I thought about clipping it a...

Content Warning: Explicit Discussion of Sexual Assault in the Lexx segment. We've finally reached our first SG-1 coverage with an episode that's just as good as I remember it being! I wish we could say we have a lot of fun covering it, but unfortunately the Lexx episode truly demolishes the vibes here. On top of being quite boring, it's Lexx as it's absolute laziest and most edgy. Maybe the writer's room should have touched a few more crystals to get their respective crystal children to come in ...

Many such mysteries can be found in this episode. The mystery of the phantom flame, the mystery of Detective Dee's exact level of misogyny, the mystery of what will happen with Zev's goo, and most importantly for Sanga: The Mystery of the American Idahole. The longest mystery didn't even make it in the episode because I cut out 5 solid minutes of us trying to figure out what Stargate episode was next. That turned out to be very important Anyway great fun episode of the podcast and the things we ...

Vroom! Vroom! Bam! Is Lightning McQueen going to be okay? I just watched the Cars 3 teaser trailer and holy moly he is in my thoughts and prayers. I will not be watching Cars 3 to find out though. He will exist in limbo. Anyway, in this episode of Lexx we find new and exciting ways to strap Zev to an operating table. Well, uh, not necessarily *new* or *exciting* ways necessarily but I suppose the way she breaks out is at least one of those? Anyway sort of a middling episode with some ups and dow...

We have hit season 2 of Lexx, and that means one full season of a show without a single appearance of Stargate. Season 2 of Lexx is quite larger, so it would be much more surprising if that ever happens again. The season starts with an episode that's just sort of okay but we watch a really interesting meta 40's musical thing which we're both rather taken with so that's okay. I also talk a bit about Babylon 5! Justice for Kathryn M. Drennan! Also, we spend a while talking about our two very diffe...

Content Warning for discussion of sexual assault- It's the season finale! Not really of this show I guess, but of Lexx! It's sort of an uneven finale (the content warning above is not a warning for considered stuff here) but we're excited to see what comes next. Also, Clamp is here! Sometimes it's nice to see a breezy ghost film. xxxHolic sort of feels like what if Bleach never became a questionable shounen action show a bit. Kenpachi should still show up in xxxHolic though, that would be cool. ...

Hello! This episode we cover an episode of Lexx that is a real miss, but I also talk about milk preferences for like 5 straight minutes and introduce a brand new segment of sorts - We Could Be Top 5'ing! So much potential, so many numbered options. Anyway I wonder if Juspion would like milk? God, what an outfit. I wish I could pull off what Juspion wears and then I would wear it every single day of my life. Thanks for listening! You can email us at wecouldbewatching@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast. S...

Welcome back to our second episode! First of all, Content Warning for Sexual Assault from the Lexx episode. Really no getting around that. Anyway this time we are watching Tim Curry be with us in spirit and also in greenscreen though Lexx. In Sons of Steel we explore Australian science fiction as through a band's promotional vehicle! We really see the power of out-there science fiction through two very different angles and budgets. I hope you enjoy! You can email us at wecouldbewatching@gmail.co...

Hello! In this first episode, we talk about the premise for the podcast which almost makes some amount of sense. What if you wanted to watch a long running sci-fi franchise for a podcast but you already watched a bunch of it and know you wouldn't have a lot to say about most of it? Well, that's the situation we're in, so we will be watching through Lexx and then whatever nonsense. For now though, we cover the Stargate film. Sorry if I mention other stuff that should be in the show notes it was t...
