All the Naughty Parts

This week on The Couch:

America’s fascination with leaving kids in hot cars

Justin Ross Harriss

Arizona Woman gets paid for doing it (see Couch Potato Podcast Episode 75)

Lorenzo Nelson

From the last episode…

Did Jeff try Naked & Afraid?

Did Joe watch The Last Ship?

Fantasy Football starting back up, we need more players!!

Xbox Live got better

No longer required to pay for XBL to watch Netflix, or similar apps. Only needed for playing games multiplayer.

Jeff just pre-ordered Destiny for PS4 will start playing Beta and report next episode.

Can families share XBL accounts? PSN can.

Is Lionsgate making a serious attempt at a Power Rangers movie?

Power Rangers movie picks up two writers from X-Men First Class

Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz

(from Nerdist: Miller and Stentz worked together on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,Fringe, and the syndicated space drama Andromeda before getting the writing gig on Thor in 2011)

TV TALK

Under the Dome

Season 2 (so far)

New monarch, Big Jim vs Big Dodee, and more...

The Leftovers (HBO)

Don’t let the first two episodes ruin it for you, watch the third for a full reimbursement

Christopher Eccleston episode (#3) was the best so far.

What do we think? … Is it Rapture or something else?

The Strain(FX)

AMAZING pilot episode

Wil Wheaton Project

Falling Skies
