Why are people watching this?

What would happen if Canada, USA and Mexico merged to form one huge country?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The Next 365 Days. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “Laura and Massimo's relationship hangs in the balance as they try to overcome trust issues while a tenacious Nacho works to push them apart.” Nobody enjoyed this one. Ashley laughed out loud at Massimo's sexy faces. Dave watched the entire film at 2X speed and it was still too slow for him. Justin is convinced that the script for this film only contained three pages of dialogue. 

Relationships are hard. They get extra hard when there are ‘deal breaker’ scenarios. I’ve been with my significant other for just under two years. We are committed to each other and have strong feelings for each other but have a long distance relationship. We’re both career minded folks. The biggest issue besides distance (a 2hr drive, so not a huge distance but just enough to get in the way) is children. At the start of the relationship I was very much leaning against children, they were also unsure leading towards ‘No’. As things moved on, I became a firm ‘no’ a ‘hard no’ I don’t want children of my own, I don’t want to adopt children. They have flipped the script and is now a ‘hard yes’ and wants to have a baby very badly. I’m not even sure we can even manage to live together let alone raise a child, or conceive one. Even if all the stars aligned and the distance was removed, I know in my heart and rational brain that being a parent is not something I want any part of. I like other people’s children, but I do not want my own. The question at hand is, is this relationship salvageable or must I be the villain, and end the relationship?

This week, Justin and Dave watched was Never Have I Ever, Season 3, Episode 1. Here’s the Netflix synopsis “At last, Devi is dating her dream guy, but some catty gossip makes her worry about taking things slow and Nalini urges Kamala to rethink a decision.” Dave does not really enjoy the overly-slick and rapid-fire dialogue, making it difficult for him to connect to the material. Justin, however, connects more deeply with the material than would be excepted for someone in his age demographic. Matt comes in smoking hot with a number of hot-takes on the show, and creates a hilarious new trivia game! Tory knows her stuff, is is there to provide everyone with Indian name pronunciation tips. 

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The Sandman. Here’s the Netflix synopsis “When the Sandman, aka Dream, the cosmic being who controls all dreams, is captured and held prisoner for more than a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.” Dave expresses his undying love for David Thewlis. Ashley loved the skinny pale emo guy.  Justin has a lots to say about sleeping sickness.  

What do you think would be some effective ways for "the small man" to boycott or speak out about corporations and their practices AND what sort of topic would mobilize one to do so (e.g., Texas and the abortion law)?

This week, Dave, Justin, and Ashley DIDN'T watch Keep Breathing, the #1 show on Netflix. We were just too swamped because of reasons. This episode is Justin's explanation and apologies and pleas for Lin-Manuel Miranda to come on the show for some reason. 

At what age is appropriate for kids to start cooking for themselves?

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched The Gray Man. Here’s the Netflix synopsis “When the CIA's top asset -- his identity known to no one -- uncovers agency secrets, he triggers a global hunt by assassins set loose by his ex-colleague.” Justin was bored by all the action, recycled plot lines, and hedge mazes. Dave was reminded how much he loved The Bourne Ultimatum. Ashley revealed her crush on Richard Dean Anderson, which has nothing to do with this film but came up anyway. 

This week, Justin and Dave watched Resident Evil. Here’s the Netflix synopsis “Fourteen years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by infected creatures while being haunted by her past, her father, and what happened to her sister, Billie." Dave did a deep dive into corporations as portrayed in Hollywood films and concluded that there is not such thing as a "good guy" corporation. Justin has a bone to pick with the idea of zombie brains "rewiring themselves".
