We Could Be Watching

A musical and politics? What is this, Assassins? That's just a little joke about our Sondheads out there. We see you. Know, that's not the Cats guy, that's the other one. Anyway uh look Lexx did it for once they did what I would say is pretty close to a great episode in season 2 and I'm so proud of them. More importantly though Stargate might have the best clip show episode of all time and not eve...

Perhaps this is truly a cursed episode of Lexx, such is the case when the file for this podcast episode went mysteriously missing. Luckily we found a backup and now we're here to have what is sure to be the shortest Lexx discussion we'll ever have. I guess out of all the things Lexx does this is one of the more forgivable ones since it's kind of funny but also, I can't believe I watched all that a...

Welcome, audience! Listen, you could do a lot worse listening to two guys talk about ROBOT CLONING for an hour. Honestly less people should talk about ROBOT CLONING at Thanksgiving and should instead talk about the Stargate ROBOT CLONE EPISODE, which is pretty good. Lexx is here, briefly bringing up the idea of having good character beats and then deciding to do something else instead? Maybe the f...

It's a crossover episode! After Sanga demanded big freaks, we were lucky enough to get Mel to come over from the Ultra Queue podcast to discuss the biggest most Australian freaks of all. But first, we subject Mel to TERRIBLE SCIENCE FICTION ABOUT GENDER that is also sort of a LAZY PARODY OF THE WIZARD OF OZ! Sorry about that! Mel's Podcast is Ultra Queue - Available on any podcast platform or here...

CW: Discussion of Suicide Attempts in the Elevator to the Gallows discussion. I was trying to think of a joke format that would allow me to combine "It's only a Dream, Snake Eater", with perhaps some reference to the ladder climbing as an elevator? I can't quite work out how to frame it. Please let me know if you think of it, or better yet, use it yourself for your own superior Elevators to the Ga...

groan zombie arghh whatever we're here to talk about Howard the Duck. What a strange toxic little man. Sailor Moon Baddie: https://preview.redd.it/pd84lj89wqoe1.jpg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4378348d5c1d8b4be90db4fc465839ccdf5a928 Howard Dark Overlord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29Qs9PDvmpY&t=3s You can email us at wecouldbewatching@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast. See ac...

In this episode, we cover the Iconic Cheers character "Norm", who shows up on the crew of the Lexx! Oh, it's Norb? The Anakin Kid? Oh, it's not Norb? It's the season 2 plot? Wow, I can't keep track of any of this stuff! Actually I can it's just a bit boring but hey what can you do that's just the power of podracing. We also look at Mamoru Oshii's 2001 Polish film, Avalon, a film that dares the wat...

A great evil has been unleashed. A nightmare dream of modern influencers loosely inspired by a beloved 1950's comedy films. We Could Be Watching.....We Should Be Watching??? Should Anyone? Also a pretty good Lexx episode for once wow they managed to capture early TNG episodes. Despite what I said in the podcast I'll wait till we do a Dahir Insaat episode before I bother linking it here. You can em...

It's Slasher time on the Lexx! It's not a bad time except for my own genre proclivities I suppose. They're sort of trying for this one a little bit? Maybe this was a bad time to talk about our favorite sci fi episodes at the start. Sorry Wake the Dead you're no Living Witness. You're not even Meld. Now that was a good serial killer Sci Fi episode. The X-Files one where they get the Chucky guy to b...

Very short ep and I didn't even audio truncate this one! Well, we find a spectacular lack of things to talk about with Lexx and you know, it's hard to find stuff to say about anarchist art projects. I did rewatch some of it and missed one of the guys complaining about the social safety net so you know. Potentially like 45 minutes of podcasting left on the table there, sorry about that. https://www...

It's a good thing this is a not-Stargate show and not a Lexx show. Because if it were a Lexx show, we would be at a real crisis as it becomes more and more apparent that the show has somehow run out of fumes. But look, you don't have to watch Lexx. You Could Be Watching(tm) The Protector, a martial arts movie that kicks ass with some of the single best action scenes ever done. More importantly tha...

Not a great week for our selection of things we are watching necessarily, but a pretty good week for the podcast itself I think! Lexx is at it's absolute craven laziest and we struggle to say much about it, but have much more to say about the slightly uplifting military propaganda piece of Renaissance Man. I think I would like to see Ghiaccio teach a class of kids. That's what Araki should be work...

Hello! Technically this is a day late, but also technically we don't have a real episode day date, so I would like to say our normal release date is Sunday and I am simply consistently very early. Anyway this episode we deal with an incredible achievement (making a deeply mid court episode) and then something that made Sanga cry with it's beauty. So, you know, lots of great things happening all ar...

It's a barrel of laughs and a hootenanny all in one in this exciting episode of We Could Be watching! Lexx has sort of conceptual hypothetical series of laughs brought upon by a number of setups that should be fun in theory but no one really puts in the work to take it home. At least we have a wonderful animated movie, too stale for even the Nostalgia Critic to touch apparently? Well, at least we...

Content Warning: Explicit Discussion of Sexual Assault in the Lexx segment. We've finally reached our first SG-1 coverage with an episode that's just as good as I remember it being! I wish we could say we have a lot of fun covering it, but unfortunately the Lexx episode truly demolishes the vibes here. On top of being quite boring, it's Lexx as it's absolute laziest and most edgy. Maybe the writer...

Many such mysteries can be found in this episode. The mystery of the phantom flame, the mystery of Detective Dee's exact level of misogyny, the mystery of what will happen with Zev's goo, and most importantly for Sanga: The Mystery of the American Idahole. The longest mystery didn't even make it in the episode because I cut out 5 solid minutes of us trying to figure out what Stargate episode was n...

Vroom! Vroom! Bam! Is Lightning McQueen going to be okay? I just watched the Cars 3 teaser trailer and holy moly he is in my thoughts and prayers. I will not be watching Cars 3 to find out though. He will exist in limbo. Anyway, in this episode of Lexx we find new and exciting ways to strap Zev to an operating table. Well, uh, not necessarily *new* or *exciting* ways necessarily but I suppose the...

We have hit season 2 of Lexx, and that means one full season of a show without a single appearance of Stargate. Season 2 of Lexx is quite larger, so it would be much more surprising if that ever happens again. The season starts with an episode that's just sort of okay but we watch a really interesting meta 40's musical thing which we're both rather taken with so that's okay. I also talk a bit abou...

Content Warning for discussion of sexual assault- It's the season finale! Not really of this show I guess, but of Lexx! It's sort of an uneven finale (the content warning above is not a warning for considered stuff here) but we're excited to see what comes next. Also, Clamp is here! Sometimes it's nice to see a breezy ghost film. xxxHolic sort of feels like what if Bleach never became a questionab...

Hello! This episode we cover an episode of Lexx that is a real miss, but I also talk about milk preferences for like 5 straight minutes and introduce a brand new segment of sorts - We Could Be Top 5'ing! So much potential, so many numbered options. Anyway I wonder if Juspion would like milk? God, what an outfit. I wish I could pull off what Juspion wears and then I would wear it every single day o...

Welcome back to our second episode! First of all, Content Warning for Sexual Assault from the Lexx episode. Really no getting around that. Anyway this time we are watching Tim Curry be with us in spirit and also in greenscreen though Lexx. In Sons of Steel we explore Australian science fiction as through a band's promotional vehicle! We really see the power of out-there science fiction through two...

Hello! In this first episode, we talk about the premise for the podcast which almost makes some amount of sense. What if you wanted to watch a long running sci-fi franchise for a podcast but you already watched a bunch of it and know you wouldn't have a lot to say about most of it? Well, that's the situation we're in, so we will be watching through Lexx and then whatever nonsense. For now though,...
