Why are people watching this?

What's the best way to get regular exercise?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched A Marked Heart. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: "A man hell-bent on exacting revenge on the organ trafficking organization that murdered his wife becomes involved with the woman who received her heart." Dave and Ashley laughed the whole way through this show despite the fact that it was not a comedy. Justin couldn’t tell the difference between any of the actors and was subsequently lost. Ashley was able to explain about Colombian culture which actually cleared up a lot of confusion.

Why do people buy take out, drive to a quiet scenic spot on a back road, enjoy their food, then CHUCK OUT ALL THE CONTAINERS on said scenic road?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched Choose or Die. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “A broke student who plays an obscure 1980s survival computer game in pursuit of an unclaimed $100,000 prize. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she soon realises she's no longer playing for the money, but for her own life.” Robin, a horror aficionado, joined the podcast to help explain why this film wasn't a total dumpster fire. Dave didn't understand the premise or the ending. Justin didn't understand the premise or the ending either. But both enjoyed the fact that there were old 80s video game consoles in the film. Ashley ended up losing the bet she made with Justin on the last episode: she simply didn't enjoy this film, despite the (underutilized) charm of Asa Butterfield.

You go out with your husband for dinner at a new restaurant you have not frequented before. It is in a part of town you rarely visit. You are shocked to see your friend’s spouse having dinner with a very young, attractive person. From the way they are behaving, it is obvious they are more than friends. The couple finish their meal and leave without seeing you. They behave very affectionately on the way out the door. Do you: ,Tell your friend, knowing you probably will not be believed and that it may ruin your friendship? Say nothing about seeing the couple as it is none of your business; they may even have an open relationship. (PS, we think this listener question was lifted from somewhere on the internet!)

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The In Between. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “After surviving a car accident that took the life of her boyfriend, a teenage girl believes he's attempting to reconnect with her from the after world.” Everyone acknowledges that this was just a re-telling of the film Ghost. Dave wishes he was in the abandoned sex hotel so he could have stolen the doors. Ashley reminisces about Japanese love hotels. Justin demands, for the second time on the podcast, that Dave install a hot tub in his office.

Is Giovanni cheating on me?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The Bubble. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “Sneaking out. Hooking up. Melting down. The cast and crew of a blockbuster action franchise attempt to shoot a sequel while quarantining at a posh hotel.” This one broke everyone’s spirit. With all these comedy geniuses involved, why was it so unfunny? And why did they hate dinosaur-penises so much?

What do you do when someone takes/steals an item from your grocery cart before you've paid for it? Is it even stealing?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched Bridgerton, Season 2. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: During the Regency era in England, eight close-knit siblings of the powerful Bridgerton family attempt to find love. This was our fist live show with an audience and the team was joined on stage by Laura and Kailin. Laura is a Bridgerton superfan (and Regency era condom expert) who had hot takes for days on the literary allusions found in season 2. Kailin is a Bridgerton superenemy and was bored by almost everything that she saw on screen. Dave was painfully disappointed that this show did not contain the explicit sexual content that he was promised so wound up Googling beaver facts instead. Ashley was hypnotized by all the chiselled male buttocks. Justin got sidetracked by a lengthy deep dive into chamber pots.
