The Couch Potatoes

Crap I forgot to load this week's show! Better late than never I suppose. This week we talk about the Netflix series Stranger Things, again -- last week we'd started watching it, this week I finished it. Jeff checked out a new reality show called Better Late Than Never, and says it's fun. It stars William Shatner, Henry Winkler, Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman. What's not to like? ~Brett

Hi there, Brett here. This week The Couch Potatoes did some binging. I started watching and got caught up on the excellent HBO murder mystery 'The Night Of', and caught up on the HBO demon-possession show 'Outcast' -- which just wrapped up last week. I'll tell you about those. Also, Jeff and I started watching the Netflix series 'Stranger Things', because we keep hearing good things about the 80s throwback sci-fi adventure. 

Jeff ventures off the beaten path this week with a review of "The Lobster", a movie now streaming about a world where if you don't find a mate by a certain age, they turn you into an animal. Also, Brett finally got around to seeing "Star Trek: Beyond", and it's excellent! 

It's the August Movie Preview! We'll tell you about all the big releases of the month, including another DC debacle, 'Suicide Squad', as well as a couple of movies that look Oscar-worthy, which is odd for the dog days of Summer. We'll also talk about how a comedian has written a Seinfeld script where he imagines how the selfish characters would react to 9/11. 

This week we've got a review of 'Jason Bourne', which should be called 'The Bourne Redundancy'. Also, we'll go through all the cool stuff to come out of Comic-Con last week -- including a surprise horror sequel
