Screen Watching

Big week on the ol' Screen Watching podcast with Dan and Simon having both seen a Marvel film that was actually pretty good. That said... they have some issues with it... Also, there's the new Tina Fey show on Netflix - The Four Seasons. It's good. But...

A big TV week on the ol' Screen Watching pod as Dan and Simon have conflicting views on new ballet Prime Video show Etoile. Will it end in a dance battle? Probably. Also, Simon has questions about The Accountant 2. And then because they are both men of a certain age, they have an extended chat about Star Wars and new show Andor.

On this Easter long weekend as we consider death and resurrection, what better way to spend it than talking about new vampire film Sinners. It is from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and it's really pretty terrific. How much should you believe the hype? Dan and Simon have a chat. Also on the podcast, we discuss new Netflix show Ranson Canyon. And some quick chats about new Prime Video show...

Folks, it's a big week for the ol' Screen Watching podcast. First, there is industry chat: Why were people surprised A Minecraft Movie would be a hit? What was the deal with people not liking s3 of The White Lotus? Then there's the important matter of reviews: Death of a Unicorn (in cinemas) Your Friends and Neighbors (Apple TV+) The Amateur (in cinemas) Bad Genius The Last of Us (Max)...

We kicked off this week's podcast with a whole lot of TV and movie news from this past week - farewelling Val Kilmer, discussing the launch of Max in Australia, and a few other tidbits. Then we rolled into reviews of The Minecraft Movie, new Netflix show Pulse, Dogman, and more.

Podcasting’s own Daffy and Porky, Dan Barrett and Simon Foster, have a lot to say about the new Looney Tunes full-length feature film, THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP. They pivot into some equally lively debate about AppleTV’s Hollywood satire THE STUDIO, starring Seth Rogen. PLUS Richard Gere and Uma Thurman star in director Paul Schrader’s moving drama, OH, CANADA!; bald bad-guy basher Jason Statham i...

Lots of things to talk about and review this week. Simon steps onto the culture wars battlefield to see Snow White, Dan pops into new Netflix murder mystery comedy The Residence, Simon presses play on Long Bright River on Stan, and Dan popped into a cinema to see Robert de Niro appear opposite himself in The Alto Knights.

Steven Soderbergh has a new movie, which means that we are required to review the movie to keep our podcasting license. Sorry, we don't make up the rules. 02:30 Black Bag 11:46 Deli Boys 21:22 Wallace & Grommit: Vengeance Most Fowl 24:40 The Electric State And... MORE!

In our post Oscars podcast, Dan rants on for no less than seven hours about fixing the Oscars. Oh, and we have reviews too. 03:16 Mickey 17 19:34 Daredevil: Born Again 34:10 Oscar Chat

We lost one of the greats this week with Gene Hackman, prompting Simon Foster and Dan Barrett to consider some of their favourite Hackman roles. There's also some mandatory pre-Oscar predictions and then the reviews: 02:04 RIP Gene Hackman 14:59 Oscar chat 27:08 Ne Zha 2 33:31 Running Point 41:04 Small Town / Big Story

It's a rather huge week for the mining of IP, so Dan and Simon pull on their helmets and safety gear to go spelunking into the IP content mines. 01:49 Captain America: Brave New World 23:50 Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy 35:03 The White Lotus season 3 43:12 Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man 46:21 Heart Eyes 49:07 Homicide: Life on The Streets chat

Format? What format? Sorry, we went long on this week's pod. But we cannot be contained! [00:00] Australian screen's Top 10 dogs - a definitive list [03:51] What's on this week's show? [05:08] September 5 - In Australian cinemas... finally [18:29] Apple Cider Vinegar - Netflix [37:44] Presence - In cinemas [42:21] You're Cordially Invited - Prime Video [46:28] St Dennis | The Hunting Party - 7Plus...

It's a pretty good week for using your eyeballs this week, with a bunch of really great things to watch. And Watson. Dan Barrett and Simon Foster talk you through what you need to know about: [03:20] Companion - in cinemas [13:00] Paradise - Hulu/Disney+ [23:27] Babygirl - in cinemas [28:53] The Brutalist - in cinemas [33:44] The Wild Robot - Peacock / Binge [35:34] Watson - Paramount+

Despite his better judgment, Dan said yes to Simon's request to discuss Oscar nominations. So, uh, enjoy that. Then there's a review of the first ever Star Trek TV movie. Simon has a look at the under-seen Oscar nominee The Brutalist. And Dan talks up the Bob Dylan music biopic A Complete Unknown.

Yeah, it's a weird week on the Screen Watching podcast. We have a lot to talk about, but none of it seems to be what we should be talking about this week. Like, Emilia Perez is in Australian cinemas, but we should have talked about it months ago in line with the US release. And Dan should be talking about Severance season 2, but there were no screeners made available. So, this week: Emilia Per...

Did horror movie fan Simon Foster say "Yesferatu" to the new Robert Eggers film Nosferatu? Will Dan stop gushing over The Pitt? And why didn't Simon talk about Conclave as his featured review? Oh... and what is with all of the beeped language in this week's episode?

Each week on Screen Watching Simon & Dan review the movies and TV shows. But this week the guys are looking forward at 2025. What are the movies and TV shows they are excited about? Yes, you'll hear some thoughts on the upcoming Max show The Pitt, the long-awaited final (???) Mission: Impossible film, Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17, the new Superman film, and a bunch more. Join us, won't you?

This week in a special Post-Christmas, Pre-NYE celebratory podcast, join Simon Foster and Dan Barrett as they offer reviews of A Real Pain and Laid, along with their top 5 movies and shows in 2024.

In our big show before Christmas, Simon checks out prequel Mufasa, Dan is ready to explode with volcanic Netflix drama La Palma, then there's a quick look at Netflix's Carry On and Max's James Gunn superhero adjacent cartoon Creature Commandos. Then, because it's Christmas, the podcast winds out with some Christmas chatter.

It's our week before the week before Christmas episode, which as we all know if the most meaningful of them all. This week on the podcast we look at the film everyone is too embarrassed to buy a ticket to: Kraven The Hunter. There's also the quietly excellent Steven Moffatt series Douglas Is Cancelled. And hen there's Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow's new Netflix comedy No Good Deed.

A HUGE week for us on the podcast. Simon embraces his inner 10 year-old and blasts off with the new kiddie Star Wars show The Skeleton Crew. Dan remains the mature-minded co-host and looks at spy thrillers Black Doves on Netflix and Paramount+'s The Agency.

Each week on the podcast TV critic Dan Barrett and film critic Simon Foster bicker and argue about the movies and shows they have watched.

A big week on the podcast with the inevitable smash hit Wicked (in cinemas), new Ted Danson sitcom Man on The Inside (Netflix), Goodrich (in cinemas), Blitz (Apple TV+).

Hold the line!  Stay with me!  If you find yourself on a podcast, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled.  For you are reviewing Gladiator 2 and new Disney+ series Say Nothing in Elysium, and you’re already dead!  Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.
