Dave, Justin, and Ashley, discuss Tall Girl 2, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: Landing the lead in the school musical is a dream come true for Jodi, until the pressure sends her confidence—and her relationship—into a tailspin. Ashley was amazed at the total lack of attention paid to the enormous musical that was supposed to be at the heart of this film. Dave had a really good laugh at one scene that was not meant to be funny at all. Justin went apoplectic dealing with all the wrongness around tall people stuff and the inability of Hollywood to figure out what the difference between Sweden and The Netherlands is.

Dave, Justin, Ashley, and Matt discuss The Tinder Swindler, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: Posing as a wealthy, jet-setting diamond mogul, he wooed women online then conned them out of millions of dollars. Now some victims plan for payback. Matt McGlashan joins the podcast to provide some solid commentary on Tinder culture and, as always, notes on graphic design and editing. Ashley had, let’s say, a VERY strong negative reaction to this film. Justin and Dave liked the film, but had a tough time defending the film in the face of Ashley’s passion. This episode has some pretty real moments, and more than a few f-bombs.

After some recent attempts at bathroom surgery on a ripped fingernail, I’m wondering if the experts think that first aid courses should include instruction on simple surgical procedures? Could ease pressure on the health system if we all had a few more basic skills perhaps?

Dave, Justin, and Ashley discuss Home Team, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: Suspended NFL coach Sean Payton hopes to reconnect with his son by coaching his hapless youth football team in this family comedy based on a true story. Kevin James stars as the real-life New Orleans Saints coach in this funny and heartwarming story produced by Adam Sandler. This might just be the most divisive film the crew has ever discussed. Ashley authentically enjoyed it and laughed at everything. Dave and Justin are fundamentally flummoxed by her reaction as they seemed to have enjoyed nothing about this.

Wyatt and Max would like to know why Elena is so annoying. So basically: how do I deal with obnoxious 7th grade boys dealing with an 8 year old little girl with lots of energy....

Dave, Justin, and Ashley discuss The Royal Treatment, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: New York hairdresser Izzy seizes the chance to work at the wedding of a charming prince. When sparks start to fly between the two of them, love and duty are put to the test as the time of the wedding draws closer. Ashley couldn’t find anything to love about this film. Justin quite enjoyed it and laughed out loud at the outrageous accent work. Dave enjoyed it too, but that might just be the drugs talking.

Any advice for coping with crippling fear/phobia of infinity? (Meaning when subject is brought up, thinking about it and feeling about it).

Dave, Justin, Ashley, and Ann discuss Brazen, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: Mystery writer Grace Miller has killer instincts when it comes to motive - and she'll need every bit of expertise to help solve her sister's murder. Ann returns to the show to discuss her hypothesis that two versions of this film were made: the Hallmark version, and the porn version. Justin wants someone to explain what the “it” is that the dominatrixes in this film keep insisting that their clients “say”. Dave has lots to say about the detective’s home renovations skills. Ashley loves Alyssa Milano very very much, but also hates this film very very much.

My 11 year old daughter just asked ‘What’s a Wookiee?’ leading my partner to remark on her cultural deficiency. To what extent should we push the pop culture icons of our youth onto today’s youth? And specifically is it important to know what a Wookiee is? (P.S., she knows who Chewbacca is).
