It's A Streamable Life

The third installment of our #SecondStreamAround digests episodes 7-9 of season one of Hannibal. But before the main course, we explore appetizers such as Comic-Con@Home, the 2020 Emmy nominations, and whether sports 2020 should have just been canceled. 

Today's episode introduces our Second Stream Around series in which we rewatch, review and discuss a previous TV show or film.  Our first subject is NBC's 2013 thriller Hannibal created by Bryan Fuller and based on the character from Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. Elsewhere we recap HBO's Perry Mason, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, and trek through the somber news as of late. 

A new month brings a new slew of content for our Q3 preview. We discuss the titles we're most interested in across all streaming services. Elsewhere we discuss "Chapter 3" of HBO's Perry Mason and the second episode of true crime docuseries I'll Be Gone in the Dark. Rate and review us on Apple Podacsts and listen to wherever you find #Astreamablelife.

After what felt like six years, we've reached the end of June. That means today's FP focuses on our favorite content of this quarter. Our top three films, tv shows, and music. Elsewhere we dive into "Chapter 2" of HBO's Perry Mason and discuss the brilliantly layered premiere of I'll Be Gone in the Dark.

With the resurgence of protests against police brutality and chants to defund/abolish our current system of policing, we discuss the history of police in TV and film. How it affected our view of those who protect & serve. And, what the future of police/crime series will bring. Speaking of policing, we also recap HBO's premiere of Perry Mason and reminisce on Sherman's Showcase Black History Month Spectacular. 

This week we discuss the final two episodes of HBO's introspective drama "I Know This Much Is True." We praise Mark Ruffalo's award-worthy performance and the series' message about family. We also ponder what can be done to diversify LGBTQIA+ stories seen on screen. And in No Concessions, we review two films which investigate the Black American soldier's experience overseas.  

Last week we would have been basking in the Texas heat, venturing through downtown Austin for the ATX TV Festival. Coronavirus had other plans. Luckily the great founders of the 9-year festival brought the experience to patrons virtually. We digest our favorite panels and what this new age means for the TV industry. Elsewhere we pick new N.O.T. subjects, discuss our love for Attack the Block, and regret ever liking J.K. Rowling. 

Another daunting episode of HBO's I Know This Much Is True takes over the featured presentation as Brandon & Lorin discuss escape plans from the heavy news cycle. They also give final thoughts on season 3 of Killing Eve and what to expect at this week's ATX TV Festival & Deadline TV Contenders' virtual events. 

Both Brandon and Lorin have come to the same conclusion as they discuss episode 3 of HBO's I Know This Much Is True. Elsewhere they praise this season of Killing Eve, long for a summer free of COIVD, and wonder what is really going on in the news lately.
