The #NOTwatching Podcast

We're really deep into the peak TV season right now, so what better time to remind you of all the things you might have missed from the end of summer. So we're talking Amazon's The Boys and the latest season of Goliath, Netflix's resurrection of The Dark Crystal and the latest season of Mindhunter. We also say goodbye to the long running Orange is the New Black and wonder what happened to the same...

It's a clown special this episode, with Todd Phillip's Taxi Driver flavoured take on Batman's Nemesis and the second part of Andrés Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's multi-generational epic. We're also covering some old yet somewhat still developing news on the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the recently announced Matrix sequel and a whole lot more! Contact us on Email at:...

We're reaching a fairly significant milestone on our next episode, so we've had to pack in a lot on this one. We're covering the post-endgame fallout of Spiderman: Far from Home on the big screen whilst dealing with the third season of Stranger Things on the small one at home, but that's not before we get into some exciting news on the future of the MCU* and the dominance of Game of Thrones in thi...

We're back in TV land this week with quite a mixed bag of things we've been whiling away the hours with. First up is Neil Gaiman's adaptation of his and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens, which we mentioned before in our SXSW episode. We've also been trying to see if there really is anything at all to this Line of Duty phenomenon whilst also checking out the second seasons of Fleabag, Cobra Kai and The...

It's fair to say that Keanu Reeves is having a bit of a moment right now. Everything he seems to touch turns to gold and there is nothing more golden than the John Wick franchise when it comes to sheer wanton violence. Meanwhile we have a couple of creature features catering for a wide gamut of the genre with Pokemon Detective Pikachu and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Netflix serves up another s...

As so we come to it at last, after almost a decade, 8 seasons and 73 episodes, the final episodes of arguably the biggest TV series of all time. The internet has been a sea of controversy since the grand finale aired a few weeks back, but what did we make of it? We decided against going into extreme details, hence the surprisingly brief running time this week. We'll be back to talk about all thing...

We're trying something a bit different on this week's show. Fans of the slashfilmcast and those that remember the Totally Rad Show may be familiar with the phenomenon that is the Summer Movie Wager and thanks to the clever folk behind thesummermoviewager.com anyone can join in the fun. If you aren't familiar, then follow the link for a full and thorough explanation. Suffice it to say, this episode...

So the spoiler ban is officially lifted, the Spider-man: Far from Home trailer is safe to watch and judging by the humongous box office take everyone in the world who gives a crap has seen it already. You should be safe to listen to us process it then, because there's a lot to unpack here in what is surely the closest we will ever come to a finale in the MCU. It's all been leading to this, for ove...

Game of Thrones* might be dominating the small screen right now, but there's been a lot of other great shows this year. This week, we're kicking of with David Fincher and Tim Miller's animated anthology series, Love, Death & Robots. Also on Netflix is the adaptation of Gerard Way's Umbrella Academy and Ricky Gervais' After Life, while elsewhere we have Ben Stiller's surprisingly compentent prison...

Ever since Thanos clicked his fingers and Nick Fury dropped that pager shortly before turning to dust, we've been wondering what role Captain Marvel would play in and/or could do to save the MCU. And while the recent trailers confirmed she would indeed play a part in Avengers: Endgame, little was known of her origin. Until now. Captain Marvel is the first fully female fronted film in the MCU canon...

Having spent the first month of 2019 previewing the hell out of it, this week's we're digging through some pretty significant news stories that have kicked off the year. More Ghostbusters! More Mission Impossibles! That's no small amount of awesome. We also run through this year's Oscar Nominations - especially the one's we've seen - before moving on to some more movies we have actually seen, incl...

This week we're pretty much doing what we did last time, but for the year in small screen entertainment. As always, the best will likely be nothing we've really heard of yet, but so far as what we do know about, herein will it be covered. Enjoy!

On this week's show we're casting our eye over some movies we're excited about coming up in 2019. Some of them, believe it or not, have nothing to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the final installment of a certain 'Skywalker Saga'. Suffice it to say, this could be a truly memorable year for the big screen :) Contact us on Email at: notwatchingpodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter: @notwa...

After discussing our favourite movies of the year in our last show of 2018, the first order of business in this brand new year is to go through our favourite TV shows of the last 12 months. That's not before we mention a few notable things that were on over Xmas, like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Watership Down & the hilarious farce that is Bros: After The Screaming Stops. It's a bumper one for the...

It's that time of year again. It's all been leading to this. It's time, once again, to count down our favourite movies of the year. It's been a bumper year for blockbusters as more and more niche films find their way directly to Netflix and the like, so it's good to see some quality AAA stuff throughout the year. Anyway, without giving anything away, here it is. Listen on... and we'll see you in t...

We're back in TV land again this week, discussing the triumphant return of Netflix & Marvel's Daredevil (which at the time of going to press hadn't yet been cancelled) and Amazon's little known comedy/spy masterpiece, Patriot. There's also news of a Breaking Band follow-up movie, Marcus has finally joined the Vikings Party and Jim Carrey has come back to the small screen to reunite with Michel Gon...

It's been a spooky old time on the TV these past few weeks, but the crown jewels of the Halloween season had to be Mike Flanagan's 10 episode adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. Elsewhere on the streaming giant is Cary 'True Detective' Fukunaga's adaptation of the Scandinavian psychological drama, Maniac. The Man in the High Castle returns to Amazon, BBC delivers some truly zeitge...

On this week's show we're once again checking out the best of what streaming TV has to offer, including Amazon's super-explosive Jack Ryan, based on the Tom Clancy character of the same name, this time played by The Office & A Quite Place's John Krazinski. We also herald the return of Ozark, which has recently been renewed for a third season. And Breaking Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul is also bac...

This week we really do hope you've had a chance to see John Krazinski's A Quiet Place, because that's all we're talking about this week, spoilers an' all. At the very least, we hope our ability to waffle on about it for the best part of 20 minutes is enough to persuade you that this is one of the best movies of 2018. So please don't listen to any of this until you've seen it, whooped like an idiot...

On this week's show we're once again going through our TV highlights from the past couple of months, including the superb second season of Amazon's Goliath, the third and probably best season of Preacher yet and Iain's revisiting of the entire run of Friends. We also recount some of the things that went down at this year's San Diego Comic-con and there's even a mention of England's performance in...

This week the whole crew is back to talk about movies they've been watching over the summer, kicking off with Rob's opinion on the latest installment of Mission Impossible and the somewhat disappointing Ant-Man & The Wasp. Meanwhile Marcus has been binging on creature feature's like Rampage and the entire Sharknado saga, while Iain's been gorging himself on Netflix movies such as Like Father, Exti...

This week we're continuing to drain the summer drought with our picks of the best TV of the year so far... and we have to admit it's quite slim pickings so far. With no Game of Thrones to sink our fangs into and fairly mediocre second seasons of both Westworld and The Handmaid's Tale, it's left to the likes of Netflix's Altered Carbon & Youtube Premium's Cobra Kai to rule the roost in the first ha...

Since the summer's been well and truly hijacked by football this year, we thought it might be a good chance to catch our breath and give you a half-time report on what we consider to be the best movies of the year so far and give a few movies a shout that might not make it all the way to our end-of-year lists.

To say Solo: A Star Wars Story's reception last month was lukewarm would be an understatement. Despite generally favourable reviews, Lucasfilm's latest Star Wars Spin-off failed to ignite the box office. Was the summer scheduling to blame? Or is this just a movie nobody wanted? We attempt to answer those questions on this week's #NOTwatching Podcast. And this week we promise there are absolutely n...

This week Marcus and Rob discuss their feelings on the Deadpool follow-up (We did our best to keep spoilers after the credits this week!), before launching into a bunch of TV stuff, including some news about the future of The Walking Dead, some anime stuff on Netflix, the final season of The Strain & a whole lot more!
