The Couch Potatoes

Greetings! This week, I saw Blade Runner 2049, Jeff saw American Made, and we think you should see them both. Jeff will also tell you whether or not you should check out the new tv show Ghosted, and I'll tell you about the end of the line for the wonderful sitcom Episodes. - Brett

I was off this weekend and forgot to load this. Whoops! Hi there. - Brett

Hi there! I saw "IT" this week, and I really liked it. I have some complaints, but they are minor. Jeff meanwhile went to see the 40th anniversary edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind with his girlfriend... and the biggest thing to surprise me out of his review, is that he has a girlfriend. - Brett

Greetings! This week, Jeff & I saw Wind River, a bleak but excellent film. I saw Annabelle: Creation, a solid scary movie, and I plowed through The Defenders on Netflix. It was mostly exciting, but... 

*** I UPLOADED THIS LAST WEEK, BUT DID IT WRONG, SO, WHOOPS (Brett, Aug 26th, 2017) *** Hi there! This week, I'll salute "Orphan Black", which wrapped up its five-season run last weekend in glorious fashion. Tatiana Maslany, from Regina, has done unbelievable work in portraying countless characters on the groundbreaking Canadian show, and is well-deserving of her Emmy win last year. Hopefully she...

Hi there. Brett here. This week we're going to talk about this ongoing trend, which is ramping up of late, of reviving old tv shows. Will & Grace, for example, is coming back to NBC, and has ALREADY been renewed for a second season. ALSO, Game of Thrones put on an incredible show this week, and despite the HBO hack attack that saw the episode leaked online, the series earned its highest ratings ye...

Hi there. Brett here. This week I saw "Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets". It was ho-hum. Jeff meanwhile will tell you how he has wasted his summer, in rather spectacular fashion. We'll also give a recap of San Diego Comic-Con, highlighting some of our favorite items to come out of the event. 

Hi there. Brett here. This week I went to see Dunkirk, the new film from Christopher Nolan. Two teenage girls sat beside me. I will explain why teenage girls were excited to watch a WWII movie. Jeff went to see War for the Planet of the Apes. Transparent is available at last on TV in Canada, and Game of Thrones debuts to huge ratings, but mixed reviews. 

It's a historic episode of The Couch Potatoes! We will both be handing out our highest honour: THE SECTIONAL, five couch cushions out of five. Find out which films get the awards. Jeff watched "The Big Sick", we both watched "Spider-Man: Homecoming", and I watched... something else. ALSO, Game of Thrones finally returns this weekend! - Brett

Jeff and I went to see Baby Driver this week. He liked it a lot, I was disappointed. We'll tell you why, and I'll also tell you which of my Top 10 TV shows of 2017 (so far) needs to be replaced, and by which show.

Hi! I'll count down my favorite TV shows from the first half of 2017, and we'll talk about CASTLEVANIA! Netflix is getting ready to launch a cartoon based on the video game series. AND, some neat news about Labyrinth and the late David Bowie.

Hi there! Brett here. This week I'll tell you about the first season of American Gods, which just wrapped up in the U.S. on Starz, and in Canada on Amazon Prime Video. I'll also tell you about my experience using Amazon Prime Video (it's not all that great). I'll also tell you why I hate one of the people who won The Amazing Race.

This week there are some big TV season finales coming -- Better Call Saul, Fargo, and American Gods. You can only watch American Gods (legally, anyway) on Amazon Prime Video. I don't want to subscribe to another service, but I might have to try it out so I can watch the Gods. Also, I saw "Get Out" this week, FINALLY, and we'll tell you about a couple of summer TV shows we're excited for. - Brett

This is last week's podcast. I forgot to load it because I am stupid. In this episode, I'll tell you why I think the latest Tom Cruise movie, "The Mummy", kinda sucks. Jeff will tell you why he thinks "The Leftovers" is kinda cool, and that he's sad about its 'sudden disappearance'. - Brett

We both saw Wonder Woman this week, and both loved it. We'll tell you why, and we'll tell you about all the highlight movies for the month of June. 

Hi there! Brett here. I saw a couple of movies this week -- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and Alien: Covenant. I liked them both!

Hi there. I have a headache so I'll just say we talk lots of tv stuff this week. 

Hi there! This week we're talking TV. Lots of season finales coming up this week, and lots of shows are getting cancelled and renewed. Plus, news on Blade Runner 2049, the Love Actually reunion, and the Edge of Tomorrow sequel. 

Hi there! The summer movie season is here, so we've got our May Movie Preview, and a REview of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2. Also, I had more problems with popcorn this week. I'm a slob. -- Brett
