Drinking And Streaming

Matt, Kelsie and Zac enjoy some low-carb Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold while talking about the Keto Diet and some of the best diet documentaries on Netflix. Plus! Intro: Matt and Rachael talk about their personal Keto Diet progress, lament the loss of The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, and give an update on MoviePass.

Matt and Zac examine the Mission: Impossible franchise while enjoying Omission (Impossible) gluten free beer. They also discuss what the hell is going on with MoviePass, the subscription-based movie ticketing service.

Matt and Rachael (with an extra A) enjoy their low-carb, Keto Diet-friendly Gin Rickey cocktails while talking about movies currently in theaters. Are they worth putting on pants and going out to the multiplex? Or should you just wait and stream them in your underwear? We’ll tell you! Then we’ll tell you why.

Matt, Phil, and Zac talk about movies and TV shows they’ve been watching. Some good. Some bad. Topics include: The World Cup Finals today, Phil challenging the Queer Eye guys (and everyone else) to a hair contest, the fall of Jurassic Park, the best movie about murdering children, and much much more! Special appearance by Gina at the end.

Matt, Rachel (with one A) and Jonathan are back to finish telling you how to get into Star Trek. In part 2, we discuss Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, the movies and the new show on CBS All Access, Star Trek: Discovery.

This one’s all about Star Trek! Part one of a special two-part podcast. Matt, Jonathan and his wife Rachel (with one A) talk about all things Star Trek, and go over their favorite episodes from The Next Generation and The Original Series. They also try to help guide newcomers on where to begin their Star Trek journey on their favorite streaming service. In part 2, we'll talk more about Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Discovery, and the movies.

Matt and Rachael enjoy some Springbank Farm blueberry wine and review the new Natalie Portman horror/sci-fi movie Annihilation, to see if the "scary scene" (which Zac mentioned in Episode 2) is really piss-your-pants scary. Plus, the internet says there is a movie on Netflix that is so terrifying, viewers had to shut it off half-way through. So we watched it to find out if we could make it to the end. We also discuss the scariest movies we’ve ever seen.

Matt and Phil enjoy a delicious Pacific Wonderland Lager while discussing shows they stopped watching. What were the shows? Why did they stop watching? And would they ever go back and continue watching them? Shows include: 24, Once Upon a Time, The Marvel Netflix Shows, The Killing, Sherlock Holmes, The Walking Dead, Lost in Space, Everything Sucks, The Gifted, This is Us, Homeland, The Americans, Gotham, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Family Guy, and more. Other topics include: Embarrassing high school memories, home ownership, and the disgusting side of raising chickens. Bonus: Phil (who doesn’t like anything) talks about a few shows he actually does like.

Matt visits Jesse in his rumpus room in beautiful Vancouver, WA. After going over the rules of the rumpus room, we talk about a variety of subjects, including: How to stream live TV through Playstation Vue or Hulu, Spotify vs. Google Play Music, and how much we would pay to cry with Shia Labeouff. Netflix content discussed includes: The upcoming show Disenchantment from Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, the upcoming $150 million Michael Bay/Ryan Reynolds movie Six Underground, Kodachrome, Lost in Space, The Who Was Show, Troy: Fall of a City, stand up comedy, Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life, Ultimate Beastmaster, The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, Evil Genius, and more! Hulu content discussed includes: Future Man, The Goldbergs, Brooklyn 99 and more! Amazon Prime Video content discussed includes: Bosch, Sneaky Pete, and more! We also discuss re-watching the Marvel movies and what’s coming and going in June on Netflix.

Matt, Zac, and Kelsie are on this week’s episode! We talk about what we’re drinking (sparkling water, IPAs, Porters) but the conversation somehow lands on breast milk. We get an update from Zac to see if he checked out any of the content on Hulu. Shows we discuss on this week’s episode include: Westworld Season 2 and Here and Now on HBO, Aggretsuko and Arrested Development on Netflix, Future Man, The Handmaid’s Tale, Bob’s Burgers and Younger on Hulu. Also, if you have to choose one white male standup comic, Matt tells you which one to watch on Netflix. Movies discussed include: The Hunger Games, Jurassic Park and The Flintstones. We also go into overtime and discuss movie theater audiences and that movie with basketball players in old person makeup.

Matt and Rachael are here for this very special Mother’s Day episode. We talk about what it’s like being new parents and what Rachael was streaming while on maternity leave. We also discuss Rachael’s unique twist on the “Mommy Blog” with her “Boring Oregon Mama” brand. Matt also addresses the lack of a new episode last week, and introduces the new “Streameter” rating system. Also, Rachael mostly watches British shows, so we signed up for a free trial of the new Brit Box streaming service, which features British TV shows from BBC and ITV. Shows we discuss on this week’s episode include: Gardeners’ World, Life of Crime, Tutankhamen, Godless, Alias Grace, Call the Midwife, The Crown, Broadchurch, and Doctor Who. This leads to our recommendations for where newcomers should begin if they want to start watching 50 years worth of Doctor Who episodes, which leads to an agreement that Rachael may leave Matt for David Tennant. Finally, listen all the way to the end for a comparison of the new Lost in Space Netflix show

Matt and Zac share their mutual dislike of IPA’s. We discuss everything we know so far about the new Lord of the Rings show from Amazon Prime. Matt passionately expounds on his love of Hilary Duff after discovering her “Dignity” concert on YouTube, which he attended back in 2007. This leads to a discussion of how all Disney stars were required to also be singers, which leads to a discussion about Elton John cover songs. But stay with us, because we also discuss several streaming shows, including The Tick and Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams, both on Amazon Prime. Hilarity for Charity on Netflix. And Matt and Zac snoop through their wives’ Netflix profiles to see what they’re watching, which leads to Zac making controversial statements about Friends.

Phil is back, after taking a few weeks off to move in with his girlfriend Gina, who is also a guest on this week’s show along with her friends, Michelle and Sarah. This week, Matt takes a break from talking about “boy shows” and talks with the panel about “girl shows” including: My 600 Pound Life, The Bachelor, Project Runway, Girls, and the Real Housewives shows. But we also find some common ground, with shows like Black Mirror, Nathan For You, Westworld, High Maintenance, Here and Now, and Easy. We also discuss how modern technology not only affects how we watch TV, but also how we interact with people. Do we use our phones too much? Is online dating a good thing or a bad thing? Is Matt an Uber driver? We also discuss our personal experiences with reality TV shows, including House Hunters, The Hollywood Video High Five Challenge, Ramblin’ Rod, and traveling to Nicaragua to get a haircut from The Hill’s star Justin Bobby.

Matt and Zac tell you everything you'd ever want to know about Hulu. What is on Hulu? Is Hulu worth the price, with all the other streaming options out there? What does the word Hulu even mean? We also talk about some of Hulu’s original programming, including Marvel’s Runaways, The Handmaid’s Tale, and the James Franco series 11.22.63. And we discuss how you can catch up on current shows or watch a vast catalogue of old shows. Also, because it was just Friday the 13th, Zac watched Friday the 13th for the first time. Also, as a bonus, we talk about David Letterman’s most recent episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with Jay Z on Netflix.

Matt and Zac talk about Marvel’s Legion, Westworld, Santa Clarita Diet, Nailed It, Mega Food, and Wild Wild Country. Matt also scoured VUDU to find hidden gems you can watch for free, and ends up spending way too much time talking about Masters of the Universe and Warriors of Virtue.

Matt briefly reviews Ready Player One before welcoming Zac and Phil to talk about the WWE Network over-the-top streaming service. Matt and Phil (wrestling fans) try to explain to Zac (not a wrestling fan) how WWE is a sport like figure skating, but also entertainment like a movie or a soap opera. Then they try to convince Zac to sign up for a free trial of the WWE Network. Matt and Phil also go over their favorite Wrestlemania matches of all time, and reminisce about going to Wrestlemania XIX in Seattle.

Matt talks with guests Phil and Zac about VUDU. What is it? How does it work? Why is it a big deal? And how does it relate to Matt's crippling collecting addiction that started with recording Star Trek: The Next Generation off TV, and ended with transferring hundreds of DVDs to digital copies.

With a critics score on Rotten Tomatoes of 90% and an audience score of 48% (as of March 18, 2018) it may be the most divisive Star Wars Movie ever. Critics loved it. Many fans hated it. So how do WE feel about it (being a little bit of both)? Matt welcomes guests Rachael, Jesse and Jonathan to help him sort out his feelings about the movie. We have an in-depth conversation and try to figure out why this film got such a "love it or hate it" reaction from everyone, including us.  

Have you ever heard a baby on a podcast? In this episode, Matt welcomes special guests Kelsie, Rachael and Baby Lilly. We discuss what it's like to be a "A Wed Millennial," what's the kids are saying these days, and our different binge-watching styles. We also talk about the following topics: Smallville, what ever happened to Tom Welling, Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, The X-Files, Kelsie and Rachael try to help Matt understand Grey's Anatomy, how long we lasted before giving up on Once Upon a Time, Orange is the New Black vs Wentworth - which is the best ladies prison show, The World's Most Extraordinary Homes, The Great British Baking Show, Born in China, Planet Earth, Dexter, and The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale AGAIN. We also discuss all the British shows Rachael is watching without Matt: The Crown, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Broadchurch. And also... Matt's gonna tickle you!

Matt and Jesse talk about all the Oscar nominees for Best Picture. We also talk about what Jesse’s watching on Netflix and Hulu, including The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, Rick and Morty, Altered Carbon, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders. We also play the game, “Which movie is the dumb Hollywood Video customer talking about?” And Matt predicts all the Academy Award winners for tonight.
