The Couch Potatoes

Hello there! This week we'll tee up Christopher Nolan's new movie The Odyssey, which is getting terrific reviews. We'll also tee up the new Will Ferrell golf comedy on Netflix, The Hawk, which is TERRIBLE. I watched the original Moana and its 2024 sequel in the wake of the live action remake's box office failure. We offer our thoughts on season 2 of X-Men 97, and Jeff went to see Supergirl. Sam Neill has died at 78. And in honour of the recent 4th of July, I decided to revisit the 1996 classic Independence Day, and the not-so-classic from 2016, Independence Day Resurgence. I didn't hate it this time! - Brett

The Emmy nominations are out so we go through the ones we've seen, or should we say the ones we HAVEN'T seen?? Because... there are many. We'll also look at what's new at the movies including The Rock, some demons, a bizarro dinner party, and chasing Jon Hamm! Jeff's got a review for a movie that's one of his favourites of the year so far, I've got a review of one of my favourites. AND, Jeff shares some exciting news on the new HEAT project, and I'll take a look at season 3 of the excellent sci-fi series Silo. - Brett

Hello there! This week we'll tee up the new movies, including a new one starring the Minions. I am not a fan. Also, Jeff reviews Enola Holmes 3 on Netflix, and we'll go over the first trailer for the new Robert Eggers movie Werwulf. Jeff checked out Avatar: Fire and Ash, now that it's on Disney+, and I watched some Avatar... the other one... again! I rewatched season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, and it helped me formalize some more thoughts on why having good characters is SO IMPORTANT YES I AM YELLING - Brett

This week we'll review the first episode of season 3 of House of the Dragon, we'll tee up the new movies Supergirl and Jackass, I've got a follow-up review on a show I touched on last week and I am SO MAD.

Jeff takes a look at an excellent WWII documentary series, and celebrates the life and career of TV comedy legend James Burrows. - Brett

This week we'll tee up the return of the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon, which debuts season 3 this weekend. We'll also tee up what's new at the movies, including Toy Story 5.

Jeff's got a review of the new Spielberg movie Disclosure Day, and I'll tell you about two spooky shows that are EXCELLENT... Widow's Bay, and The Boroughs. - Brett
