Observe and Report

Jax and Jason have a lot to catch up on in this episode—-both were comforted by the Deschanel sisters at some point (haven’t we all?) and let down by Good Boys. However, Jason’s able to harken back to a better time in the middle-school lunchroom when he discussed Batman Beyond with actual good boys. Jax slogged through (most of) an episode of Carnival Row but was pleasantly surprised by her newfound interest in Katy Perry. Jason was dazzled by the unique animation and interesting storytelling of Undone.

Other shows and movies discussed: Late Night, Take Point, Mindhunter, Triple Frontier, Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado, Mr. Right, Naked Director, This Way Up, Blade

Hello Observers! We’re back with a righteous vengeance after a slight hiatus! Neither sickness or the sea can keep us down. In this episode we’re wrapping up the summer with a whole host of stuff we’ve watched including Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw.. Jax takes us on a road trip to the Red Sea Diving Resort , a harrowing tale of freedom told by very handsome men. We discuss the fate of the Spider-Man film franchise due to recent discussions with Disney. We talk about how cool Charlize Theron (A name that no spell checker likes) is in Longshot. We hold a funeral for the X-Men franchise as we discuss X-Men: Dark Phoenix. We explore the classic follies of going back home in Trainspotting 2. And we take a trip to the Bones Zone. What happens in the zone? Listen and find out!

In this episode, Jax is joined by Tom and Zen to discuss Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood, question Queer Eye Season 4, and celebrate Claws. The trio confesses to some of their more questionable viewing habits and wonder whether Tom Cruise isn’t onto something with this whole Scientology thing.

In this episode, Jax and Jason take you on a soothing journey of summer viewing: Stranger Things Season 3, Spider Man: Far From Home, and Sword of Truth. They debate the sincerity of Aziz Ansari’s standup special, Right Now.

Other stuff they watched instead of going outside like normal people: Robin Hood, Hell or High Water, Death at a Funeral, The Terminator, Cyrus, Doom Patrol, Fleabag, and Contagion. …yes, we realize this is kind of a dark list.

We’re back! Fresh from eating burgers and high-fiving fireworks displays, Jax and Jason jump into this episode with a blast from the past—-US Marshals, Burn After Reading, and the revived Men In Black franchise. Jax discusses the surprising flammability of The Professor and the Madman, and Jason describes the vengeful creator of Evangelion.

Also discussed: the tragedy magnet known as Marcella and the delightful romp known as The Chef Show.

In this episode, Jax enthusiastically discusses Equilibrium, forcing Jason to relive a cruel deception of his past. Jason talks about Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, forcing Jax to realize that she’s much more of a Charizard. Jax waxes poetic about Fleabag, and Jason is impressed by Attack on Titan. The duo inadvertently torture each other with their assignments, Highlander and San Andreas.

Other topics include Gentleman Jack, Vice, and Doom Patrol.

Also, we know the audio is terrible. We done messed up. It’ll be fixed in the future!

Jason. Is. Baaaack!!! Jason returns to co-host and help Jax remember actor names, bravely face her white-man blindness diagnosis, and remind her what the heck they were talking about in the first place. They discuss Rim of the World, Colony, and Jason’s disappointment with Terminator: Salvation and its lack of future war that it had promised. Both hosts fawn over Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut with Booksmart! And finally, Jax enjoys Silence of the Lambs for what it truly is. A horror classic? Nope. A story of feminism…and people masks.

Also discussed: Marcella, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Inception, Tron: Legacy, Good Omens, the garbage heap known as “The Hitcher”

Two special guests!? You bet your sweet bippy we got two of ‘em. Jax is joined by friends Meagan and Tom to discuss Gerry B’s exciting upcoming projects, Charlie Hunnam acting his li’l heart out, and the Game of Thrones series finale.

On this week’s episode we’re joined by Jax’s bff, Meagan, holding down the fort until Jason returns. We discuss The Silence, aka the off-brand version of A Quiet Place. Then the ladies dive deep into Avengers: Endgame and examine the confusing feelings elicited by Tom Holland’s childish face and full-on man abs. Of course, Game of Thrones, season 8, episode 4 is dissected, deliberated, and probably predicted relatively inaccurately.

Other viewings include Dead to Me, Spider-Man Far From Home, and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

After a mini hiatus, we’re back at it again, and it’s a good one: Jax’s bff, Meagan, stops by to discuss Hellboy, The Sisters Brothers, and of course, Frasier. The gang then gets to the main attraction: Game of Thrones. Theories are formed, characters are lauded, and predictions are made. We wrap up with Jason’s thoughts on Apollo 13, a 24-year-old movie, because timeliness is overrated.

Other shows and movies discussed: First Man, Guava Island, Black Summer, One Punch Man, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

(Apologies for the wonky audio, Meagan and I were sharing a microphone and also trying to dog sit a puppy at the same time.)
