It's A Streamable Life

This final week of March, Brandon & Lorin review and discuss the ID Channel's docuseries "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." The four-part doc revisits the initial peak of Nickelodeon's success and the harrowing experience child stars experienced behind the slime. Elsewhere we do a quick recap of the Oscars and bring back Trailer Things as we prepare for summer TV.

Lorin and Brandon make their predictions for the 96th Oscars and discuss FX's new series, Shógun. Elsewhere, they review the latest in headlines, including the death of DEI.

This week Brandon and Lorin discuss what's wrong with the modern biopic. While many win at the box office (One Love about Bob Marley being the most recent example), most sacrifice good, honest examinations for mass appeal. Later, we touch on the True Detective: Night Country finale *spoilers* and rap about the latest award season chatter.

In our latest episode, Brandon reviewed D. Smith's Sundance doc Kokomo City, centering on the lives of four Black transwomen sex workers. Kokomo City is currently streaming on Paramount Plus.

Listen to new episodes of It's A Streamable Life biweekly on Wednesdays.

Elsewhere we review the Grammys, Super Bowl Sunday, and the death of Peak TV. Plus our thoughts on Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith and HBO's True Detective: Night Country.

This week we dive into the 2023 Emmys. After being delayed by last year's writers' strike, the 75th annual ceremony celebrated the TV of yesteryear while honoring the four same shows for a timely three-hour program. Elsewhere, we examine this year's Oscar nominations and recap HBO's first two episodes of True Detective: Night Country.

Your favorite cousins return with a new season and look for the new year. We set it off with a recap of the Golden Globes and prepare for award season. Next, we list our most-anticipated titles for the first quarter. Finally, we discuss what we're watching with Streams of the Week.

This week Brandon guides Lorin through Blindspots, a new segment highlighting a film that may not get just due. This week's subject is Shane Black's 2016 buddy cop comedy, "The Nice Guys," starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.
