What Should I Watch

This week we have a healthy debate about when a sequel is better than the original. Sparked in part by True Lies, the tv show remake of the Arnie Jamie Lee Curtis movie. Christopher Waltz returns to the small screen in Amazon Prime’s The Consultant, showing how playing a Gestapo-esque striahgt shooter works with a bunch of milennials. We debate the merit of Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face and finish up with a quick spoiler free review of season 1 of The Last of Us

Reviews galore this week starting with Cocaine Bear – can an animal high on Class-A drugs keep us entertained for 2 hours? liaison asks the question does a show with many languges that includes English count as foreign language TV?

Today we answer the question – what happens when you don’t podcast for a couple weeks? The answer is a show filled to bursting with advice on what you should and shouldn’t watch!

We kick off with M3gan contrasting it with everything from Terminator to Chucky! Is the best solution to a werefolw problem a Vampire Slayer? We work it out reviewing Sarah-Michell Gellar’s latest show Wolf Pack. Korean culture and some of its greatest physiques hit the spotlight next in Physical: 100, lastly we try and say as little as possible about Copenhagen Cowboy, but not as little as they say in the show!

Some old favourites come back up as we talk more Last of Us. Next week we are taking a look at Mayfair Witches and the Ark!

The post Episode 57 – M3gan, Wolf Pack, Physical: 100, Copenhagen Cowboy first appeared on What Should I Watch.

Mike swore he wouldn’t like The Banshees of Inisherrin, does he keep his promise? What do you get if you mix Schitt’s Creek, Line of Duty and Game of Thrones? The Rig! Lastly, pun intended we take a look at The Last of Us.

Next week we counter the Banshees with Enys Men and the Night Court.

The post Episode 56 – The Last of Us, The Banshees of Inisherrin, The Rig first appeared on What Should I Watch.

Mike takes it upon himself to educate us all on classic movies that we definitely should watch, starting with a lot of sweaty men (like his Saturday nights) in Das Boot and finishing with a 45 minute wedding in Deer Hunter. That was quite enough cinema history however so after short dips back into 1923 and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, we take a look at James Bond’s Southern Drawl in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. New reality TV show The Traitors (UK) changes Mark’s mind on Claudia Winkleman. We try and figure out if Irish is even a real language in The Witcher: Blood Origin and close out the last ounce of holiday spirit we had left in reviewing Violent Night.

Next week we will take a look at HBO’s Last of Us, Golden Globe darling The Banshee’s of Inisherin and Amazon Prime’s The Rig

The post Episode 55 – Violent Night, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, The Traitors (UK), The Witcher: Blood Origin first appeared on What Should I Watch.

A divided house will not stand, but on this podcast we wouldn’t have it any other way! Triangle of Sadness is the beachhead of our disagreement that continues into a new Dutton generation in 1923. We cover some Christmas Netflix fare with a return to Murderville in Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery. There is always time to give some grief to the Royals of course and we do just that when we review Harry and Meghan

The post Episode 54 – Triangle of Sadness, 1923, Harry and Meghan first appeared on What Should I Watch.

We take a look back at how Avraham Avraham is faring in The Calling and look at a counter point to Ancient Apocalypse on YouTube. These apertifs behind us we dig into the mistakes Mark made with Criminal Minds – Evolution. Lastly we talk about fake Irishness and breathing in The Wonder

The post Episode 53 – Criminal Minds – Evolution, The Wonder first appeared on What Should I Watch.

A Christmas Special from Marvel! How could this be bad? In this week’s episode we explain the answer to this and many other questions. What do the heroes in Echo 3 have in common with The Unit? Was it worth rebooting the Chevy Chase movies of the novels with Confess, Fletch? We also take a quick look at Black Adam and the Rock’s attempt at playing an anti-hero….again. Netflix’s Wednesday brings some surprises as does One Of Us Is Lying, but is it enough to get through the ‘YA’ barrier as a slightly older ‘A’?

The post Episode 52 – Echo 3, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Confess, Fletch first appeared on What Should I Watch.

It might seem like we hadn’t very much to talk about this week, but when you add in reviews of Ireland’s Fittest Family, The Vow, Fittest on Earth: Next Gen, Arcane and the latest season of The Crown, it fills out a podcast quite nicely!

Our marquee reviews expose the unexpected origins of male stripping in Welcome to Chippendales, reminding us weirdly of The Man Who Fell to Earth. Lastly we discuss how two boats can be so alike yet so different in 1899.

The post Episode 51 – 1899, Welcome to Chippendales first appeared on What Should I Watch.
