The Oz Network - TV & Film Recaps

Let's get joking and random at the same time as we bring you another 'random recap' requested by our listeners and look at the 4th episode of the 6th season of Impractical Jokers called Catastrophe! It doesn't take long for Ben to find something wrong with this episode, as he clearly hates it while Colin seemingly defends it. What is so funny about it? What is so funny about Tony Danza? Can Ben sa...

Moving on to another Third Watch recap episode for you today as we take a look at Alone In A Crowd, the 11th episode of the first season! In what is a decent and fun episode of the show (both the podcast and Third Watch), Ben & Brandy discover just who the 'big douche' is this episode, celebrate the fact Jimmy is useful again as well as also celebrating the coming together of two characters (f...

It's your weekly dose of plastic surgery today as we move onto the 7th episode of the 2nd season of Nip/Tuck called Naomi Gaines! It's an episode that sets up some very important story arcs in the coming episodes and also gives us some amazing (and we do mean AMAZING) Ava scenes which you really do need to see to just see how awesome she is. Oh and Adrian. He is pretty darn awesome too. But it's n...

In honour of the late, great George Romero, it's time for us to sit down and get scared (or perhaps scare you) as we bring you the first of three recaps on classic Romero films with the 1968 cult favourite Night Of The Living Dead. In what serves to be one interesting and entertaining recap, Ben & Colin go through (some would perhaps say devour) the film that set the standard for zombie films...

From uninteresting camping setups to uninteresting coffee runs to BOB the Bridge to yet another Detour full of innuendos, the Amazing Race Canada Season 5 episode 3 had it all..... or did it? The major drama of the week is all about the  express passes. We debate the use (and in one case lack of use) of every express pass, while also debating whether this episode is incredibly boring or unpredicta...

You've suffered through 2 long months of hearing THAT 'accint' on Survivor so it's now time to take back speech and hear how things should be said as we begin our coverage of the fourth season of Australian Survivor with special guest Andrew Torrens from season 3 of Australian Survivor. And given that last time we did a preview episode of this show we promptly exited from existence (RIP Survivor O...

With Baby Driver smashing its way into cinemas and taking numerous plaudits along the way, it's time for your favourite podcast to sit down and give its take on the movie that makes you want to grab an iPod and drive super fast around the streets of Atlanta! Ben is joined by special guest reviewer Marcus 'Hollywood' Bendall to go over the ins and outs of one of the most fun movies you will see thi...

Another week, another Third Watch episode to come out of your speakers as we recap the 10th episode of the first season entitled Demolition Derby! In what is a full 'ensemble' episode, Ben & Brandy go over some of the deep and spiritual stuff in the episode as well as talking up the awesomeness that is JK Simmons being in Third Watch! There is also some pretty big discrepancies when it comes t...

After an epic run the first season of Survivor New Zealand is now in the history books and it's time to take one final look at the ground-breaking season that gave the 'land of the long white cloud' it's first ever dose of the greatest reality TV show on the planet! And with that in mind, Nick & Perez sit down to wrap-up the season and welcome back Ben into the mix to go over what they loved,...

If you tell us what you don't like about yourself we'll tell you the quick fix is to listen to our Nip/Tuck recap episode of the 6th episode of the 2nd season called Bobbi Broderick! In one of the best episodes the show has ever produced and arguably one of the most important, you definitely need to know that there is so much Ava in this episode that you too might be caught with your hands down yo...

It's time to get your random TV on again as we bring you our 'random recap' of the Charmed episode entitled Witch Trial! And in an episode that features a variety of very 'female' elements, what could possibly go wrong with two men talking about it? Perhaps they need to buy tampons instead of sanitary napkins (this is in the episode people calm down)? Or maybe Dan McDreamySexington next door will...

Colin and Rossi are back and much more impressed with week two of The Amazing Race Canada season 5. We talk all about the Fort McMurray location, whether Team Give'r is still amazing or starting to become too much, Karen overshadowing her husband Dirt Gritie, the ever changing Chevy vehicle of the week, and all the bad extras flubbing their spots. Wanna hear all about our thoughts on  online polls...

It's that time of the week once again to get your scalpels out and cut into another episode of our Nip/Tuck recap as we move onto the 5th episode of the 2nd season entitled Joel Gideon! In what is perhaps not the most exciting episode of all time, it does give us an amazing acting performance from Julian McMahon as well as some questionable ones involving Joely Richardson. It also gives us MORE AN...

It's here! The end of the first season of Survivor NZ has arrived and Perez and Nick are back to give their thoughts on the Marathon finish. With four episodes in four days, the boys give their official rating for each episode before diving into a lively final tribal council and somewhat awkward reunion show. Nick gives some insight from being in the room as the winner was declared, and Perez has...

We've talked about Spider-Man more than you ever thought was possible but it was all leading up to this episode, our (Spoiler Free) review of the brand new Spider-Man: Homecoming and the second reboot of the franchise in the last 15 years. Ben gets his first taste of a review episode as both he and Colin discuss the many things they enjoyed about the film as well as going over a few things that so...

We begin our coverage on The Amazing Race Canada with the premiere of season 5. Colin is joined once again by Rossi to talk about all the things that we liked, loved and were disappointed with in the premiere. We go over every team on the race including the super relaxed/super hyperactive Team Give'r. We debate whether Andrea and Ebonie taking a penalty was a good move or bad move. We also talk ab...

Another week is here and another episode of our Nip/Tuck re-watch is also here as we look at the 4th episode of the second season called Mrs Grubman! You know this episode is automatically going to be awesome with it being so centred around the awesome Annie, and with the addition of Mrs Grubman and Kimber there really isn't much else to sell it on right? You'll have to listen to see just how righ...

You've heard us review each of the cinematic Spider-Man movies over the last five weeks so now sit down and relax and listen to us preview this weeks brand new Spider-Man movie with the release of the first in Marvel's adaptation of the web headed superhero Spider-Man: Homecoming! Will Colin & Ben see this on opening day? Are they excited or over tired from all the Spider-Man fun we've had? Is...

The end is in sight! Perez and Nick are here to talk through the action in Week 8 as we set up for the end game.  The boys talk through the on-again/off-again relationship with Avi and Tom,  the unresolved Shannon story and just why on Earth Barb is #quittingnotquitting. Plus, we look at the angry reactions of the average Kiwi (at least on the Stuff comments section) and if Perez will do anything...

It's time to once again bring you another Nip/Tuck recap episode as we move on to the third episode of the second season entitled Manya Mabika. In another heavy episode when it comes to subject matter, somehow the episode turns into more of a lighter tone with everything from self-pleasure to baby poop. And with that in mind, what else is there to get excited about? Well there is Gina of course, a...

It finally has come down to this as we get to our final Spider-Man recap in the five film series from the last 15 years as we sit back and look at the 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2! After seemingly getting through the bulk of this film on topic, Ben and Colin both somehow find ways to get into fits of laughter about purses, shoes and horses and then also find ways to talk about death and shoc...

Is this the most semi-positive review yet for The Mummy, or just more criticism for an already critically trashed summer blockbuster? Colin is once again joined by Jamie to talk all about the 2017 reboot of the 1999 reboot of the 1959 reboot of the 1932 classic! In this episode we talk about whether or not critics and fans are being too harsh on this new Dark Universe, and why the criticism and bo...

Things are heating up as Survivor New Zealand heads for the finish line! Perez and Nick return to give their hot takes on a crazy couple of episodes, with some classic challenges, emotional moments, goat battles and blurred nudity at tribal council! With 5 players left in the game, who is on track to lock in a win, who is a threat and who is there for the ride? The boys break it all down for your...

The second season of Nip/Tuck has a second episode (of course) so we are here to cover and recap it as we look at the episode named after our favourite plastic surgeon (well at least one of them) Christian Troy. And when your episode starts off with a woman sitting on a man's face (in the episode of Nip/Tuck, not the podcast) you know you are going to be in for an episode that certainly has talkin...

Well you made it through all the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies so now let's move on to the Marc Webb Spider-Man movies as we look at the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man as we continue our countdown to Spider-Man: Homecoming! And in a stuttering start (that's meant to be funny), Ben & Colin go over everything they love, don't love and at least admire about the 2012 reboot of the film franchise....
