The first MCU production of the year has arrived. Disney and Hulu released all five episodes of "Echo" on January 9th. In our podcast, we'll be covering the full miniseries. Serving as both a spin-off to "Hawkeye" and a lead-in to "Daredevil: Born Again," the show features the return of Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, along with a few other notable cameos.

The central plot revolves around Echo/Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), who returns home with the ambition to take over Kingpin's criminal enterprise. However, her plans take an unexpected turn as she becomes entangled with her friends and family, whom she reluctantly reconnects with after years of estrangement.

Join us to delve into our thoughts on the miniseries, exploring its pros and cons, and concluding with our rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

This action-packed comedy-drama, produced by the same company that made John Wick and showrun by Glee creator Brad Falchuk, premiered on Netflix January 4th. The 45-minute pilot episode was headlined by Michelle Yeoh (Mama Sun) and two newbies, Justin Chien (Charles) and Sam Song Li (Bruce), who play her children. The premise is simple: a Taipei gangster and expertly trained killer travels to L.A to protect his mother and younger brother after his father is shot by a mysterious assassin.

Kicking off 2024, Netflix released a new 8-episode series based on one of Harlan Coben's #1 New York Times bestsellers, Fool Me Once.

In the 53 minute pilot, we’re introduced to Maya’s friends, extended family, the detective in charge of her husband's homicide case, as well as the first big twist of the story. Joe might still be alive. Tune in as we compare the book to the show, share some trivia, and determine our rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

Sweet Home returned in early December after a three-year hiatus. Much like the international hit Godzilla Minus One, this show has a monster-centric plot boosted by a gargantuan budget and high aspirations to compete with its US counterparts. 

For anyone disillusioned by Apple’s Invasion or the recent War of the Worlds reboot series for being dull and bland, Sweet Home doesn’t go five minutes without some sort of explosion, monster, gunfight, and battle. Welcome to Today's Episode where we discuss our full thoughts on this season two premiere. Enjoy!

You've heard the story before... Literally, in 2008. Australian director Baz Luhrmann is back, now that the King has left the theaters, to re-edit his epic adventure Australia into a 6 part mini-series on Hulu. Taking place right before WW2, this romance starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman may be a bit of a head-scratcher to some wondering if the new cut is necessary, but to the fans of old, this is a welcome surprise. Tune in as we discuss the pilot, some trivia, and give our rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

Today we're discussing the first episode of the new Netflix series, Obliterated. The first episode is titled Real American Heroes, it runs 55 minutes and is set in Las Vegas.

When a crew of elite US government agents is tasked with taking down a Russian arms dealer with a uranium bomb, they end up celebrating too quickly and having to try to course correct in the last minute while high and drunk.
