The Couch Potatoes

Hi there! Jeff went to see the moon landing documentary Apollo 11, and is about to hand out a rare honour. I recently watched HBO's Sharp Objects, and was so disappointed by it... I had to rewatch Big Little Lies to feel better! - Brett

Hi there! I saw Captain Marvel this week. I'll explain in my review what I mean with that title. Jeff meanwhile reviewed a "classic" love story, and there's a trio of good ones coming to home video! - Brett

Hi there! This week we'll discuss Steven Spielberg setting his sights on Netflix. He wants Netflix films banned from Oscar eligibility! Is he on to something? Or is it time for him to 'get with the times'? I checked out that Michael Jackson documentary on HBO, Leaving Neverland, and we'll both tell you what we thought of a movie that's been on our list for months: "Searching", starring John Cho. -...

March is here, which means it's time for the March Movie Preview, which includes CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!! We'll also do an Oscars wrap, and we'll discuss season 3 of True Detective. One of us loved it. The other one fell asleep numerous times while watching it (but still liked it). - Brett

Hi there! This week we'll make our Oscar picks, well, mostly Jeff cuz he's seen more of the movies than I have. We'll also discuss whether or not The Mighty Thor can withstand HULKAMANIA, and I watched the first Netflix reality dating show called "Dating Around". Normally this isn't my thing, but in this case, I DIG IT. - Brett

Hi there! This week on The Couch Potatoes, Jeff has completed his annual rite of passage by watching all eight Best Picture nominees for the Oscars. This week he completed his journey by watching Bohemian Rhapsody, and he'll tell you what he thought. I meanwhile watched a Netflix movie called Polar. More like P.U.lar! Lol? - Brett

Hi there! This week at last, I finally watched that Mister Rogers documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbour?", after it arrived a Netflix on Feb 1st, and it was sensational. Jeff's curiosity on "The Upside" finally defeated him, so he checked that one out and kinda digs it. He also watched one of the WORST movies of 2018, maybe one of the worst movies ever. - Brett

Hi there! This week it's the February Movie Preview, which includes Arnold Schwarzenegger in the unlikeliest of roles. Also, Jeff continues his march towards watching all of the Best Picture nominees, and I checked out a new crime doc about Ted Bundy on Netflix, which Netflix dramatically oversold with its DON'T WATCH IT ALONE nonsense. Harumph. - Brett

Hi there! This week we'll weigh in on the Oscar nominations, I've got reviews of Glass, and Bumblebee. One of them was good, the other, not so much. Jeff saw Vice and will tell you why he wasn't blown away by it, BUT, he WAS blown away by a classic film he watched this week. Also, Jeff checked out both Fyre Festival docs, and I'll finally tell you about a show I've wanted to tell you about now for...

Hi there! This week we'll dive into the new season of True Detective, which just debuted on HBO. I'll tell you about a show that is an early front-runner for top 10 of 2019. And, listen as we get side-tracked for eight minutes after Jeff lost his mind about John Wick Chapter 3 PARABELLUM. - Brett

Hi there! This week, Jeff's got a review of "If Beale Street Could Talk", we'll go over the Golden Globes, preview some coming TV shows, and we'll discuss some of the many shows we have watched over the last few weeks. For me, one of the shows is a Golden Globe winner starring The Young Wolf, the other is... from Turkey! - Brett

Hi there! It's a new month, which means our monthly movie preview! There are a couple of decent films to look forward to. At least, we hope. Also, I dove into the tangled web of Netflix's Black Mirror Bandersnatch choose-your-own-adventure film, and FINALLY, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is BACK... ON... TELEVISION. - Brett

Bonus podcast! This won't air on the radio until the 29th, but you get it first because we had to record it this week! We're counting down our favourite movies of the year. Enjoy! - Brett

Greetings and salutations! It's time for our annual Christmas tradition where we count down our favourite Christmas movies and TV specials. Plus, we'll discuss what we think of Kurt Russell as Santa Claus, and we'll review Aquaman! - Brett

That's right, it's our first year-end special to close out 2018. This week we're counting down our favourite shows of the year, and in a couple of weeks, we'll count down our favourite movies of the year! 

Hi there! Lots to unpack in the December Movie Preview, including what NEEDS to be a winner for DC. Also, Jeff saw Green Book, and he'll tell you why he loved it. PLUS, Kurt Russell as Santa Claus?? It's happened on Netflix, I'll tell you if it works. - Brett

Hi there! This week I saw Creed II. As a huge fan of Rocky IV, despite the fact it's a stupid movie, I was VERY excited to see Creed II, and was pleased with what it delivered. Also, Jeff has thrown in the towel (ROCKY IV CALLBACK LOL?) on something he tried on Netflix. And, the Oscar race has officially begun, thanks to the National Board of Review! - Brett

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. 

I THOUGHT I LOADED THIS WEEK'S EPISODE ON THURSDAY BUT I DID NOT LOL. This week we've got our November Movie Preview, Jeff watched the Adam Sandler special on Netflix and what he thought of it is SHOCKING, and I'll quickly tell you what I thought of Daredevil season 3 on the Netflixings. - Brett

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! This week's edition has a podcast exclusive review of this week's big one: Halloween. I dig it, mostly. I'll tell you why! Plus, I watched the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House, I finally watched Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Jeff Braun WATCHED A HORROR MOVIE! And he LIKED IT. - Brett

Hi there! This week, both of The Couch Potatoes saw A Star Is Born, and we'll tell you why we loved it. Also, we'll quickly wrap up our Fall TV Preview, and delivering some closing thoughts on season 4 of the excellent AMC drama Better Call Saul. - Brett

Hi there! It's the October Movie Preview, including Oscar buzz for Lady Gaga, a beloved Marvel character finally gets his own movie (even though it reportedly sucks), and Jamie Lee Curtis is back to once again take on Michael Myers! Also, Rick Grimes is getting ready to fade away from The Walking Dead, which launches its 9th season this weekend. I don't want to watch, but after eight seasons, how...
