Screen Watching

This week on the podcast, Simon makes some crazy box office claims for Teen Sex and Death at Camp Miasma while sunning in North Queensland for a UFO convention. Meanwhile Dan is left behind in Sydney where he is reviewing Sterling Point, a surprisingly great YA drama series on Prime Video.
There's also some chatter on season four of Ted Lasso, returning this week on Apple TV.

We did it. We saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day, then walked right out of the cinema to deliver our thoughts. Recorded live on location outside Hoyts at Sydney's Entertainment Quarter, Dan and Simon braved some very chilly weather to talk Spidey!
They end the chat with some recommendations to check out Diarra From Detroit on Paramount+ and new film Someone Like Me, playing in cinemas.

The Big Bang Theory has this new spin-off that asks the question: What if The Big Bang Theory, but Sliders? That is to say that new show Stuart Fails To Save The Universe is bizarre. It's a pretty bold swing. So, as Dan and Simon review the show, their attention turns to other weird TV spin-offs over the years.

This week on Screen Watching, Dan and Simon go to sea — Christopher Nolan's long-awaited The Odyssey has finally landed, and we have thoughts. Dan also ventures into considerably less epic waters with Will Ferrell's golf comedy The Hawk on Netflix (verdict: even a sport this dull deserves better). Plus: Simon on Lucky (Apple TV+) and Dan on Ghost in the Machine (Prime Video) in our look at what else we've been watching this week.

Dan and Simon are back—and this week's a mixed bag. Dan takes on trad-wife bait Little House on the Prairie, Simon burns through Evil Dead Burn, and then they tear into Sparks of Tomorrow, The Five Star Weekend, and doc Eyes Like Diamonds.
Hot takes. Zero agreement. Watch before you commit to any of these.
