Screen Watching

Dan and Simon are into new Apple TV show Widow's Bay. Like... really into it. Simon, however, isn't all that much into The Devil Wears Prada 2. Other movies and TV shows they review this week include: It's Over Jeff Buckley, Wolfram, and Seven Snipers. Oh, and Dan asks Simon how one should start watching Star Wars now with so many TV shows and movies.

We are back in the 1980s for this week's Screen Watching as Simon checks out new movie Michael as it whitewashes the, uh, "allegations.' Meanwhile Dan checks out 80s throwback Stranger Things: Tales From '85. It's no Saturday morning cartoon, he says.

We have girl troubles on the Screen Watching pod this week.
Simon reviews new movie Lee Cronin's The Mummy, while Dan takes a look at new Apple TV show Margo's Got Money Problems. The two look back at 1979 film Meteor for some reason. Simon marvels at the cast of Euphoria season three. And Dan asks what the deal is with casting Mark Ruffalo in Crime 101.

It's almost always the way: the thing you're most looking forward too almost never lives up to what you had wanted. Unfortunately for Dan, three of the shows he was most excited by this year all failed to deliver the goods.
Dan reviews new TV dramas The Testaments (Hulu), The Audacity (AMC in the US / SBS On Demand in Australia), and The Miniature Wife (Peacock in the US / Stan in Australia).
Simon takes a trip to the cinema and reviews a foreign film he says is among the best of the year: The President's Cake.

This week on the podcast Simon Foster gets cranky about the new Super Mario bros Galaxy Movie, but then raves about The Drama. Dan watched these films as well, but had a very different reaction.
Also: Paradise season 2 and Your Friends & Neighbors season 2.
