Listen as Dan Barrett, fresh from the sick bed, takes to the microphone alongside the fit as a fiddle Simon Foster to review the latest and greatest TV and movies. Simon also offers some Oscars predictions. And Dan, tired and cranky, won’t entertain any of it.

Dan Barrett has just two eyes and two ears. Simon is afflicted with the same limitation. It means there’s only so much that these guys can watch in any given week. But by golly do they try. This week on the show they watched so much: Minx (HBO Max | Stan) The Adam Project (Netflix) WeCrashed (Apple TV+) Deadly Cuts (in cinemas now) Halo (Paramount+) - this is more a preview chat based off the firs...

This week on the Screen Watching podcast Dan makes lemonade out of lemons. And hot damn is it refreshing. It’s a week with not a lot happening TV-wise, so while Simon talks about Death on The Nile, Marry Me, and We Need To Talk About Cosby, Dan has just the one TV review with the second season of the delightful comedy Starstruck. So, with some extra time up his sleeve, Dan provides a list of five...

The guys are back behind the microphone for in-depth chats about what they have been watching. Reviews this week include: Pam & Tommy - Hulu | Disney+ Moonfall - in cinemas now Suspicion - Apple TV+ Belfast - in cinemas now Also, a chat about Book of Boba Fett six episodes in. Were episodes 5+6 a much-needed course correction? Dan argues correctly that they are. Or was the show always rather g...

This week on the podcast, Dan Barrett and Simon Foster celebrate their one year anniversary/birthday of the show. They mark it by shaking things up and turning Screen Watching into a video podcast. The regular audio version will remain, but if you want to watch along via a screen, you can now do that on Spotify and YouTube.  It's still early days - we will find ways to make it more visually i...

Here’s what you need to understand about this week’s show: It’s getting close to five days late. And the audio quality ain’t great. It’s not completely terrible, but it is a bit scratchy. If you’re willing to look past these two issues, it’s a solid podcast. Reviews: Spencer (in cinemas now) The Gilded Age (HBO Max in the US | Paramount+ in Aus) Nightmare Alley (in cinemas now) Also, Dan and Simon...

You know that TV show you used to watch all the time 20-30 years ago, but just can't seem to find it on a streaming service?

Dan and Simon have a long list of those and have a chat about some of the long lost shows and movies that have long been bothering them (for their inability to be found).  Th...
