Streamageddon

We’re sending the investigation in a whole new direction this week with our impressions of Season 2 of Hulu’s hit series Only Murders in the Building . It’s a wildly inaccurate portrayal of podcasting, but a delightful and empathetic look at the cloistered lives of quirky city dwellers (Caution: Contains highly relatable and extremely awkward interactions with neighbors). Then we’re revisiting our...

We know nothing says “dark comedy set in Chicago” like beef sandwiches, Wilco, and the actor who played Lip Gallagher on Shameless (Jeremy Allen White), but this is a podcast hosted two natives of the Greater Chicagoland Area! We aren’t just going to give any old Italian beef a pass, so you can trust our sandwich expertise as we dig into a double helping of FX’s The Bear (now streaming on Hulu). P...

We’re diving deep into Disney+ this week with our review of the newest Marvel series, Ms. Marvel (which is giving us big Buffy vibes in the best possible way). PLUS we’re kicking off our “Rewind Reviews” where we revisit shows we reviewed in earlier episodes. First up: The finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi (which, sadly, did not give us any Buffy vibes whatsoever). What more could you ask for? How about a...

This week we’re force-ing ourselves to see both the light and dark sides of the newest Star Wars series: Obi-Wan Kenobi (like Ewan McGregor, we are cranky old dad-types now and our jokes will reflect that). We’re reviewing the first four episodes and making our predictions for the final two! We'll take a look at the “Marvel-ization” of the Star Wars universe that’s accelerated since the launch of...

Check out our YouTube playlist featuring some of our favorite SNL moments! ——— Live from New York… it’s your favorite podcast about TV and streaming! This week we take a break from reviewing the newest and buzziest shows so we can review one of the oldest and buzziest shows: NBC’s Saturday Night Live . We’ll break down the recent season finale of the sketch comedy show’s 47th year, share some of o...

We love this episode for you, and not just because we’re reviewing the new Showtime comedy I Love That For You starring Vanessa Bayer, Molly Shannon, and Jenifer Lewis. Plus: Netflix accelerates their plan to introduce ads (and crack down on password sharing), Disney+ beats growth expectations, Hulu plans for the post-NBC world by picking up Schitt’s Creek , and we discuss the best (and worst) rat...

This week we’re chasing our Hollywood dreams with HBO’s Barry , which just returned to TV after 3 years where absolutely nothing noteworthy happened in the world. Get caught up (or meet Bill Hader’s Barry Berkman for the first time) as we break our review into two parts: First we’ll revisit the first episode from 2018 and talk about what makes it such a killer pilot, then we’ll dig into a spoiler-...

We’re hitting the high seas this week as we cruise through the entire first season of the queer pirate rom com we didn’t know we needed: Our Flag Means Death . But first: Join us as we sail into stormy weather with Netflix’s salty subscriber numbers, search for the treasure buried in the latest video game adaptations, voyage to the far off land of the Amazon (dot-com), and accidentally deliver a e...

You’ve got questions about The Thing About Pam and we’ve got… even more questions! Those questions include: Are we terrible people for slurping down every second of this show like it’s a giant generic fountain soda in the clutches of Renée Zellweger‘s fat-suit-clad hands? How should we feel about the complicated ethics of a show— based on a podcast based on an episode of Dateline— that treats the...

We’re bringing sexy back this week with our review of the excellent new HBO Max comedy Minx. But first we share our love of corporations, brainstorm potential MGM reboots for Amazon, and beg our parents not to kick us off their Netflix in response to the streamer’s potential crackdown on password sharing. Oh, and a story about a pigeon. 🐦 ——— 📺 Review: Minx 🚨 Spoiler Alert for Episodes 1 and 2...

This week we’re reviewing Showtime’s Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber and we’re so pumped we might say “super pumped” even more times than Joseph Gordon-Levitt does in the pilot. But first, in the news: We’re super pumped for the Peacockalypse (coming this fall to Hulu!), but we’re super NOT pumped about Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s pathetic response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. And only time wi...

Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is a political outsider fighting for his nation’s democracy, but his rise to power involves a hit Ukrainian sitcom about… a political outsider fighting for his nation’s democracy. Yes, we’re here to review the pilot of our new favorite anxiety-ridden satire: Servant of the People . ——— 📺 Review: Servant of the People 🚨 Spoiler Alert for Episode 1 (startin...

OBJECTION! This revival is leading the witness! ——— 📺 Review: Law & Order (Revival) 🚨 Spoiler Alert for S21 E01 (starting at 1:02:00) 🚨 Episodes Watched for Review: The Original CBS Pilot, 1988 S01 E01 (NBC Pilot), 1990 S05 E01 (The Introduction of Jack McCoy), 1995 S20 E23 (The “Series Finale”), 2010 S21 E01, 2022 Number of Seasons Overall: 21 Where to Watch: NBC Where to Stream: Peacock,...

We’re doing double duty this week with a pair of boozy dramedies: Single Drunk Female (Freeform) and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (Netflix). But first: ViacomCBS is going all-in on their Paramount branding and announcing more new projects than we know what to do with (Smurfs! Sonic! Baby Shark!), Netflix is losing their Marvel shows, and we get a peek at the...

This week we’re going back to sitcom school with Quinta Brunson’s excellent new series Abbott Elementary , a family-friendly network comedy that somehow gave us permission to talk about OnlyFans and foot fetishes (thank you, Janelle James). It airs on ABC, we swear! But first we’ll discuss how to stream the Winter Olympics (Peacock!), our secret desire for an all-Stephen-Root streaming service (Ro...

It’s our first episode and Streamageddon is already living up to its name with an apocalyptic amount of streaming news, including hot takes on the Netflix price hike and the company’s slowing growth. Then we ask the big questions: Do we Peacock comedy? Also, why does Peacock have so many tiers? And what does wrestling have to do with Peacock anyway? (Related question: Are the wrestlers actual peac...

Welcome to Streamageddon, where we try (and fail) to watch everything.
