It's A Streamable Life

This week Brandon and Lorin digest just a morsel of Netflix's Geeked Week, the annual announcement of all things nerd over at the streamer. We also give our final thoughts on HBO's #WeOwnThisCity and #StrangerThings. Happy Black Music Month and Pride Month.

Brandon and Lorin return to Hawkins, IN for the fourth season of Netflix's #StrangerThings. After a lengthy hiatus, can the supernatural 80s series recapture the original audience and magic of its previous entries? Elsewhere we recap the winners of the Cannes Film Festival and recap HBO's We Own This City before this week's series finale. 

We continue our countdown to the Emmy nominations with a review of possible contenders for Outstanding Supporting Actor/Actress in a Drama Series. Will the ladies of Yellowjackets kill the competition, or will the academy give final season darlings Mandy Moore and Rhea Seehorn time to shine. Elsewhere we discuss #WeOwnThisCity, the trouble at Netflix, and whether Gattaca was a high school-appropriate film.

Brandon and Lorin try to make sense of the newly canceled series across broadcast networks as a new "pilot" season emerges for the fall schedule. They also discuss the season finale of HBO's #WinningTime and the third episode of the true crime saga, #WeOwnThisCity. 

This week Brandon and Lorin set their preview sights on the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival set for June. In the Emmy preview, they review the possible nominees for lead actor and actress in a comedy series. And they dissect the latest episodes of HBO's Winning Time and We Own This City. 

Brandon and Lorin begin their Emmy coverage early discussing contenders for Outstanding Lead Actor & Actress in a Drama Series. They also dive into the forecast of movies set to premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival later this month. And true crime is the highlight of "Previously On..." with FX's #UndertheBannerofHeaven and HBO's #WeOwnThisCity. 

This week Brandon & Lorin recap two episodes of #WinningTime and the latest offering of #Atlanta. Lorin previews what to expect in the second season of HBO Max's #TheFlightAttendant, while Brandon suggests two films in #NoConcessions. For the Feature Presentation, both contemplate the current state of Netflix as they enter the unknown territory in their almost 20-year existence: loss.

This week's episode recaps HBO's sixth episode of Winning Time, and the fifth episode of FX's Atlanta; examines David Cronenberg's latest film trailer for Crimes of the Future; and, covers the latest in TV/film news. 

This week Brandon & Lorin do their own investigation into the recent off-shoot of true crime content that follows lesser scammers. From the Tindler Swindler to Elizabeth Holmes, what is the deal with elevating these stories beyond their bandwidth? Elsewhere they recap another good episode of Winning Time and the latest chapter in the Oscars/Smith ordeal. 

In this week's episode, Brandon & Lorin interject on the 2022 Oscars: the winners, the loser, and the future of celebrity. After recapping the last two episodes of HBO's #WinningTime, they take aim at Netflix's recent cancellations and ponder if the first streamer can keep its reign in this crowded era of peak entertainment.
