October 25, 2020 #62 - Season of the Witch (1972) / The Crazies (1973)
It's Halloween-time so Dan and Raul are doing some horror film discussion's this week, specifically covering a pair of George A. Romero movies that have a smaller following then his landmark classic first film, The Night of the Living Dead. Season of the Witch and The Crazies were the 2nd and 3rd films Romero made, and they aren't too scary in the usual horror genre way, but that's also because of Romero's grander thematic ambitions, whether dealing with the horror's of domestic life as an aging woman, or the horror's of a town dealing not only with a virus but also martial law.

October 18, 2020 #61 - The Boys (Season 2)
Dan and Raul are back again to dive into the new season of The Boys (Amazon Prime), which is somewhat lackluster although very enjoyable on the whole. The guys get into the many issues they had with character motivations and plot holes the size of Rhode Island that are sprinkled throughout, but overall the series is recommended to all. Being a very popular show critically and commercially, it's easy to see why tons and tons have found this show to be highly engaging and satisfying!

October 13, 2020 #60 - Enola Holmes
Dan and Raul take on a new entry in the Holmes-verse that has just come to Netflix as a feature length film (different from the recent BBC TV series, Sherlock, which consists of 3 episode seasons), and this time the Holmes in question is a young teenage girl set in late 1880's England. Both the guys enjoyed some aspects of this likable "for kids" YA-style movie, but it did feel long and had some issues with characters and their choices, but listen ahead to this spoiler-filled episode to see if your thought line up with ours!

October 04, 2020 #59 - PEN15 (Season 2, Episodes 1-7)
Dan and Raul welcome back special guest, Natalia, for this episode. First, the film from the 80's, Stand and Deliver, is discussed as well as the brand new documentary on Netflix, My Octopus Teacher. Pen15 has a special place in the hearts and minds of Natalia and Dan, both big fans of the TV series, whereas Raul has a more difficult time finding large portions of the show palatable. All agree its a great show and well made, but the tastes of the watcher and what the find entertaining will decide whether this is the show for you. So grab your trapper-keeper and jump on in to see if you are in or out on Pen15!

September 28, 2020 #58 - October 2020 TV/Movie Premieres
Dan and Raul are back with another new month of TV shows and streaming movies for the coming month, and at first glance there didn't seem to be many obviously good shows, but then upon delving further into all the streaming networks offerings there was plenty of new media up for consumption. They cover the new and very strange streaming platform AMC+ and the new British shows premiering on this hard-to-find network, as wells as many shows on Netflix, Hulu, Showtime and Disney+, so listen ahead for a preview of what the guys might discuss on future episodes!

September 20, 2020 #57 - Ratched (S01E01) / The Third Day (Episode 1)
Dan and Raul watched two new shows first episodes, one premiering on Netflix (Ratched) and the other on HBO (The Third Day). The guys didn't agree on all aspects of the shows with Raul being more critical about these TV offerings than Dan, but still finding many interesting discussion points as can be the case with any type of show whether really great or really bad. In this case both shows kind of hover in the middle area, but are very creative endeavor's worth checking out atleast the first episodes.

September 14, 2020 #56 - Away (S01E01) / Woke (S01E01-03)
Dan and Raul discuss 2 brand new shows, one that just premiered on Netflix called, Away, and the other, a new Hulu offering entitles, Woke. Away, is a space drama that both guys had issues with but will continue to watch and see how it progresses. And similar feelings can be said about, Woke, as it doesn't establish a clear vision for what it wants to say about race relations/biases in America, mixing a sometimes confusing blend of sitcom and dramatic tropes, but there are some creative flourishes that make it worth a watch.

September 07, 2020 #55 - Peacock
The guys discuss the newest streaming service, Peacock, the new platform put forth by NBC-Universal, which offers a strange mix of old school scrolling-style live TV based on only NBC-Universal content, a "Trending" section (we discuss the failure of this and how it could be better), and "Browse" that contains all the shows and movies that should be the focus of the service. There is some criticism to be had, but we do cover a ton of upcoming shows that are coming in the next year as well.
