Observe and Report

Happy 2021, listeners! To ring in the new year, Jason and Jax discuss their shared love of the season finale of The Mandalorian Season 2 and their shared skepticism of Wonder Woman 1984. Jax spent the holiday break watching all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond tenure, and Jason started bingeing The Expanse and the Snowpiercer TV series. Jax watched Gerry’s new movie, Greenland, because she always supports her man. And Bill and Ted Face the Music along with Jax, as she learns of Jason’s love for Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name.”

In the last episode of this incredibly terrible, stupid year, Jax and Jason discuss the head-scratcher known as The Dead Don’t Die, the frustrating The Outsider, the unfairly maligned League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the delightfully funny Palm Springs. Jax enjoyed Pedro Pascal in Prospect, got too many (?) laughs out of Home Alone, and just plain enjoyed Uncle Frank. Jason did the same for Attack on Titan, the Fresh Prince Reunion Special, and the Trial of the Chicago Seven. Jax has many man-related feelings from watching Predator and Predator 2.

Season 1, Episode 18: The Man With the Bone. First, Jax and Zen giggle at that title, because they are immature goofballs. Then, they discuss the most treasure-filled ep to date! Zen reveals her chess champion crushes, and they describe what their versions of heaven would be.

Season 1, Episode 17: The Skull in the Desert. Possibly the least infuriating episode so far!? The Scooby gang ends up in New Mexico to investigate the disappearance of Angela’s 3-weeks-a-year boyfriend. Jax and Zen discuss their fave Liverpool FC and chess-playing men, and then they talk about what their own unique versions of heaven would be.

After a typical 2020 snafu, Jax and Jason jump right into Mandalorian Season 2, Hubie Halloween, Oculus, and Thinner. Jax has many questions about The Witches and many thoughts on the Justice League. Jason gets caught in the Emma net, but is set free by his enjoyment of Reno 911 and Gurren Lagann.

Season 1, Episode 16: The Woman in the Tunnel. In this episode, it’s Zen’s turn to tell Jax what happens to a woman documenting “mole people.” Spoiler alert: Zen does an AMAZING job! Check out her presentation on @oandrpodcast on Instagram! Then the ladies discuss what 5 TV shows and/or movies they would bring if they were stuck on a deserted island for 2 years.

Jax and Jason jump into the spooky stuff with The Thing, La Revolution, Fright Night, Lovecraft Country, and perhaps the scariest of all, The Vow. But they lighten things up with adorable show The Unicorn, and the optimistic and lovely Ted Lasso. They both reminisce about Jumanji and Susan Sarandon’s greatest work, James and the Giant Peach, and Jax loses her mind over how fantastic Coco is.

Season 1, Episode 15: Two Bodies in the Lab. The ladies switch it up this episode, and Jax tells Zen about the episode, and includes…a PPT presentation with photos? Follow along at @oandrpodcast on Instagram! Then they wax poetic about the new Apple+ show, Ted Lasso, and get dark when they discuss several different hypotheticals.

In this episode, Jax and Jason get into the Halloween spirit while talking about Beetlejuice and Gremlins. Jason is disappointed with Lovecraft Country, enjoys a throwback with Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, and gets in touch with his inner dad after watching Real Steel. Jax stays up past her bedtime watching Camp Cretaceous and has her mood boosted by Ted Lasso.

“The Man on the Fairway.” The ladies try to figure out why no one respects Dr Goodman, whether they would read a book of their life to the end, and of course, Sam Claflin.
