  • Major Grom: Plague Doctor

    Dave and Justin discuss Major Grom: Plague Doctor the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: When a masked vigilante's killing spree throws a city into chaos, a renegade detective and his rookie partner are the only ones who can stop it. Dave enjoyed this Russian homage to 80s American action flicks, whereas Justin was flummoxed from the get-go after being fooled into thinking he was watching a time-travelling movie. The lads also discuss Soviet architecture, and Dave reveals his love of breakdancing.

  • Sex/Life

    Dave and Justin discuss Sex/Life, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: A suburban wife and mother takes a fantasy-charged trip down memory lane that sets her present on a collision course with her wild-child past.

  • Fatherhood

    Dave and Justin discuss Fatherhood, the #1 show on Netflix this week. Here’s the official synopsis: A widowed new dad copes with doubts, fears, heartache and dirty diapers as he sets out to raise his daughter on his own. Dave and Justin are joined by Robin, co-owner of the new bookstore in town (The Curious Cat Tea & Books). Dave feels like this film is right out of the 90s, while Justin goes slightly apoplectic at its portrayal of a quasi-incompetent father who does not seems to bother reading any books on childcare. Robin beats Dave in a trivia gameshow with her detailed knowledge of alopecia and the Koch brothers.

Dave and Justin are back in the studio this week (no roosters present) and are not super stoked about this film. Justin is confused as to why people are so quick to jump to the "let's sacrifice the child" solution to insomnia, while Dave tells us about his backhoe driver friend who is ready for the apocalypse. Also, Dave auditions to be a naked sun worshiper.
