Always Be Watching

This is it. The final episode of the Always Be Watching podcast. And what an episode it is. 

Okay - don't expect much from this podcast. This is really just podcast host Dan Barrett advising the many ABW listeners that the podcast has concluded. You're invited to join Dan over at his new podcast: Screen Watching. 

It's like Always Be Watching, but with actual preparation.

Check out Screen Watching:

Thank you for listening.

This week on the podcast Dan is joined by returning guest Blake Howard (One Heat Minute and the All The President's Minutes podcast). The two of them take a deep dive into what's going on with The Mandalorian this season with a very specific focus on the recent episode 'The Jedi' which saw the live-action introduction of fan-favourite animated character Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson).

Dan then goes on to discuss the new Saved By The Bell reboot/follow-up series. Does it live up to the hype?

Blake talks up the new Aussie sketch comedy show Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun. And then swings back to discuss a show we talked about earlier this year: HBO's Perry Mason.

Michael Meloni pops by for this week to fill in for Chris Yates who is away on assignment. Dan and Mike discuss the new Netflix drama The Queens Gambit, as well as new films Love and Monsters, and The Wolf of Snow Hollow.

Dan and Chris are back for another Always Be Watching podcast. What treasures have they unearthed this week?

Chris celebrates an icon of capitalism and corporate propaganda with Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, which takes a deep dive into the making of the smash hit Disney+ series.

Dan wraps things up with Host - a genuinely scary film currently streaming on horror streamer Shudder.

It's a good one this week folks. Join us... won't you?

The gang is back together. Dan and Chris have settled their differences and have decided it would be proper to once again talk about the TV and movies they have been watching.

Dan and Chris this week are joined by Mark Humphries. You probably know him best as the host of the beloved, but cancelled too-soon Ten game show Pointless. Or maybe you know him from his weekly satirical sketches on the ABCs flagship current affairs show 730. We know him as a guy who really loves talking about TV.

The podcast is a little different this week with returning guest Simon Foster stopping by to fill-in for an absent Chris Yates. We talk about the new Disney+ feature film Mulan, HBO's The Third Day, Netflix's My Octopus Teacher (which is less sexy than it has been suggested), and new Amazon Prime Video series Utopia.

It's that time of the week again for you to put down the remote control and slide into some headphones for another Always Be Watching podcast. And after you hear what we have to talk about, you'll be rushing back to your TV remote with some fresh ideas of interesting things to watch.

This week:

Dan and Chris have taken to the microphones once more after spending the past week having taken to their couches. And what more... they have new and exciting things to discuss:
