It's My Screen Time Too

We review our first sequel, Zombies 2, after reviewing the original way back in Episode 32. We decide whether punk rock werewolves are a compelling addition to the zombie-ridden, cheerleading obsessed town of Seabrook and whether stellar dance moves can make up for a lackluster plot. We discuss strides in women-led family films in Screen Time in the News and delve more fully into Kristof’s rock ballad moment in Frozen 2.

Cooped up inside and looking to see some spaces that aren’t our homes, we journey through some of the many virtual tours recommended to us by well meaning teachers, friends, and online publications. Is the Metropolitan Museum, the National Aquarium, or the International Space Station worth the online trip?

We explore whether Mystery Doug’s once weekly, bite-sized science lessons can entertain and educate us during emergency homeschooling. Could Tiffany Haddish or Carrie Bradshaw do it better? We sing the praises of Cosmic Kids Yoga, complain about YouTube Kids, share some COVID-19-necessitated distance learning stories, and - in our Screen Time In the News segment - rejoice that USA Today has confirmed that, thanks to a global pandemic, screen time limits are obsolete.

Join us as we explore the Disney+ vault for the first time and watch the 1960 classic, Pollyanna. Will the relentless cheeriness of a plucky orphan combined with the filmmaking of old make us want to play the Glad Game? We discuss Disney’s complicated place in the streaming landscape in Screen Time in the News, and we take time to weigh in on important topics like Weezer covering a song in Frozen 2 and whether or not Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is still worth a watch.

We trust LEGO Batman himself, Will Arnett, to lead us into primetime as we review the new reality competition series, LEGO Masters on Fox. Will bickering builders, tricky challenges, and harsh judging make us fans? In Screen Time in the News, we discuss Sesame Street’s new content for Syrian refugees, and Katie gives a side rant about parents as constant playmates in the otherwise charming Disney Jr. show, Bluey.

Classic adventure tale meets high school fish-out-of-water comedy as Dora the Explorer gets the big screen treatment in Dora and the Lost City of Gold. We’re so excited to review a movie that was actually released in theaters (and fairly recently!). We talk CGI monkeys, actors who play perfect dads, and the Brad Pitt Lizzo buddy picture we never knew we always needed. In Screen Time in the News, we get skeptical about a Healthline article warning parents about “secondhand screen time.”

We explore the world of preschool shows once again. In Screen Time In the News, we learn about the psychology behind the dreaded teletubbies. In our main segment, we review Netflix’s Puffin Rock, a charming show that sends us drifting on a cloud of relaxation to the sound of Chris O’Dowd’s narration as we learn that seagulls are evil and preschoolers should probably not be trusted to babysit their toddler siblings.

Inspired by reports of LGBTQ inclusion, we review Hulu’s The Bravest Knight. We talk trolls, knights, nostalgia for the water cooler TV shows of the nineties and early aughts, Rufus Wainwright style theme songs, and how it’s possible that Deborah doesn’t know who Ian McShane is.

The new year is time for new projects, so what better show to start off with than Universal Kids’ home makeover show, Get Out of My Room? We explore whether interior design shows for kids are really any different than our made-for-grown-ups favorites on HGTV; decide which themes would drive us the most crazy when plastered all over our own rooms; and take time to fondly remember when they glued hay on the walls in that infamous episode of Trading Spaces. In Screen Time In the News, we take a look at what’s next for children’s television according to the creator of Blue’s Clues.

Last Christmas, we gave our hearts to Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles. Can the streaming service top it this year with their animated feature, Klaus? Also, we take a peek at Netflix’s other holiday offerings in our Screen Time in the News segment and give quick takes on Disney+ (home of Baby Yoda) and Frozen 2.
