The Couch Potatoes

Hi there! I came back. While I was away for a few days, I steamrolled my way through some Marvel shows on Netflix, including the handful of episodes I had left of Jessica Jones season 2, along with seasons 2 of Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. I was shocked at what I thought about it all! Also, Jeff watched the latest from the Coen Brothers: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and he loves it... because it's t...

Jeff is on a solo mission this week, so it's an all scary movie edition of the podcast!! HAHA JK! For real though, Jeff runs down the (US) Thanksgiving feast of theatrical releases, gets excited about the new Coen Brothers movie "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", and dives back in to "The Meg" infested waters. 

GET IT? GAGA LIKE RADIO GAGA LOL hi there it's Brett, and I've got a review of Bohemian Rhapsody. Jeff meanwhile got around to watching The Rock's movie Skyscraper, and I reviewed a pair of comedies from June: Ocean's Eight, and TAG.

Hi there! Season 3 of Daredevil debuted on Netflix on Oct 19th, so I've got some thoughts on that. Jeff went to see First Man, and says it's a wild ride. He's also got something hiding behind the curtain AGAIN! Last time, it was Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. What will it be this time? - Brett

Hi there! The Fall TV Season is upon us! Set your PVR to Ludicrous speed, because dozens of shows are debuting and returning this week. Also, Jeff saw "A Simple Favor", so he'll review that. And now that "Solo" is coming out on Blu-Ray, maybe I'll finally watch it. Although, I doubt it. - Brett

That's right, I went to see a movie, a movie I've wanted to see for MONTHS, and I fell asleep at the MOST CRUCIAL PART. Jeff was all about the rom-coms this week, seeing a new one, and a classic one!

Hi there! This week on The Couch Potatoes we'll discuss the changes the Oscars want to make, including shortening the telecast to three hours, having them a couple weeks earlier in the year, and introducing an award for achievement in popular film -- which OF COURSE triggered a Social Justice Avenger backlash because I AM OFFENDED AND ANGERED BY EVERYTHING I MUST SHOW THE WORLD HOW RIGHTEOUS I AM....

It will broadcast the first weekend of July, so the program will have references dated as such, for example, when we talk about the movies out "this weekend", IE, the first weekend of July. ALSO, we'll del...

Also, there's some bonus material at the end of the episode, where I'll get into the third season of The Expanse, which just finished its run on Wednesday. - Brett

It's now June 28th, and I am POSITIVE I loaded the June 21st edition to the podcast, so either it failed to load, or I am an idiot. Your money is safer on the latter. I don't even remember what we talked about last week. - Brett

Hi there! I saw the scary movie Hereditary this week. As you can tell from the subject line, I was not as impressed with it as I'd hoped. Also, Cineplex is getting ready to launch HanksFest!
