Screens N' Streams

The screeners/streamers return with a short look at Amazon Prime Video's "Hazbin Hotel" and a slightly more in-depth breakdown of "Only Murders in the Building" from Disney Plus. On the grab bag, Tristan shares some thoughts on the HBO Max series "The Sex Lives of College Girls," and Joe gives a rave review of one of the two shows being covered next episode, "Shrinking" on Apple TV+.

The boys are back after yet another (unsurprising) hiatus to discuss a couple of Apple TV+ offerings: the short and sweet British comedy series "Still Up" as well the IFTA award-winning film "Flora and Son." On the grab bag, class is in session for Tristan as he takes a look at "The English Teacher" on Disney Plus. Joe will never shut up about Dropout TV, but also dips his toes into the anime world with the futuristic slice-of-life "Carole & Tuesday."

Tristan and Joe revisit a series they started covering in the before times of the podcast in HBO's "Barry." And then they move onto Bill Lawrence's latest offering on Apple TV+ in "Shrinking." In the grab bag, Joe dives into some childhood nostalgia in the documentary "Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe" on Amazon Prime. Tristan's been checking out "Ahsoka" on Disney+ and also revisiting some old classics.

The boys revisit another show they started talking about pre-pandemy in Amazon Prime Video's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." And then they discuss the shenanigans of the delightfully awful duo of "Platonic" on Apple TV+ starring Rose Byrne and Canada's own Seth Rogen! Then, in the grab bag, Joe is STILL watching Dropout TV and keeping up with Adam Conover as he navigates the still ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike. All the while Tristan heads for a "Strange Planet" on Apple TV+ based on Nathan Pyle's delightful webcomic of the same name (which both the boys are fans of).

Wait, this is still a thing? After a three year hiatus, the boys stumble back in front of their microphones to discuss the surreal world of Donald Glover's "Atlanta" on FX, as well as the first (and possibly only) two seasons of Apple TV+'s "Schmigadoon." After that, a good ol' grab bag is in order where Tristan has some high praise for Apple TV+'s "Severance" and Joe fanboys super hard for "Game Changer" and all things Dropout TV.

Another milestone show for the podcast comes to an end as the dynamic duo break down the final season of Netflix's "Bojack Horseman" and share their thoughts on the series as a whole. Also on Netflix, the fellas explore the newest comedy-sci-fi fusion featuring the never-aging Paul Rudd: "Living With Yourself." In the "Grab Bag," guess what? Tristan's still rewatching Mad Men. He's also checking out "Altered Carbon," "Gentified," and "Ugly Delicious." Joe's watching the behind-the-scenes "Deep Cuts" from "The Patriot Act" on YouTube, and he's also looking forward to Marc Maron's new comedy special: "End Times Fun."

The boys venture back into Netflix's "Atypical" for season 3 and they cover the first season of "The Mandalorian," the podcast's first foray into Disney Plus content! In the "Grab Bag" Joe is still rewatching "The Office" and Tristan is still rewatching "Mad Men." Joe's been catching up on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and Tristan's been catching up on "The Good Place" and "Grace and Frankie." Both our boys are also looking forward to covering some podcast staples old("Bojack Horseman") and new("Sex Education").

Tristan and Joe take a look at the winning touchdown that is the final season of "Ballers" on HBO. Then, way on the other end of the spectrum, they continue a discussion from last episode's "Grab Bag" with a look at the short but incredibly clever "Fleabag" on Amazon Prime Video. In the "Grab Bag" this week, Tristan is watching all of the things, but mostly HBO stuff including "Mrs. Fletcher" and "His Dark Materials." Joe stays firmly in camp Netflix with his continued rewatch of "The Office" along with more "Patriot Act," "The Chef Show," the docuseries "The Toys That Made Us," and Deon Cole's new special "Cole Hearted." The Grab Bag was decidedly full this episode!

The boys check out a brand new Netflix original that is absolutely to DIE for: "Dead To Me." And, carrying on from last episode's "Grab Bag" segment, the resident screeners/streamers hit Amazon Prime Video to cover an underrated sitcom that's been off the air for a few years, "Happy Endings," in a Screens N' Streams first! In the "Grab Bag," Tristan searches out "The Righteous Gemstones" on HBO while Joe dives into the wickedly unique and funny vision of Phoebe Waller-Bridge with the first season of "Fleabag" on Amazon Prime Video. Oh, they also both talk about watching a bunch more food shows.

In this episode, the fellas head back into the upside down for "Stranger Things" season 3 on Netflix. Then it's time to grapple once again with Netflix's "GLOW" season 3. In the "Grab Bag," Tristan catches up on "Suits" on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video's "The Boys." Also on Amazon, Tristan is making his way through "Happy Endings," a show recommended to him by Joe during the formative years of the podcast! Joe chats a little about the very controversial "Sticks and Stones," Dave Chappelle's newest Netflix special. He also finally dives into something that has long been on his Netflix queue: Hasan Minhnaj's "The Patriot Act."

We celebrate TWENTY WHOLE EPISODES of the podcast, as well as Tristan's Birthday! On this episode, we finish out another show that we've been covering on the podcast since it started as we check out the third and final season of Joe Swanberg's wonderful anthological Netflix series "Easy." We also take a first look at a show that has come up before as a potential SNS mainstay with HBO's "Barry." In a very rapid-fire sort of "Grab Bag" on this episode, Tristan dives into "Euphoria" on HBO and tells some "Big Little Lies" on Amazon Prime Video and gets "Another Life" on Netflix. Joe teases a show the duo will revisit with season 3 of Netflix's "Stranger Things." Then a hard left-turn to the YouTube-turned-Netflix interview series "Off Camera with Sam Jones." Then a literal left-turn into "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee," also on Netflix (of course). Then a few chuckles with "Aziz Ansari: Live at Madison Square Garden." Guess where you can watch that one. Just guess. (It's Netflix again.)

SCREENS N' STREAMS THRONES-CAST!!!! It's...it's "Game Of Thrones." We just talk about HBO's "Game Of Thrones" for this whole damn episode. Oh, well we do end up doing a rapid-fire "Grab Bag" talking about a bunch of other shows we've been watching...mostly food shows...we were hungry after all that Thrones talk.

The screeners/streamers end a saga that began in their very first episode as they cover the FINAL season of Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" (they're alive, damn it! It's a miracle!). The boys also venture into peak high school awkwardness from the UK with the Netflix original "Sex Education." Reaching into the "Grab Bag," Tristan pulls out the Netflix mystery/drama "The OA" and the boys discuss another movie they both happen to have seen in an actual theatre (*gasp!*) and it's not a Netflix original (*double gasp!*), and a short discussion ensues on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest entry: "Captain Marvel."

The fellas go back to the "Bojack Horseman" well for Season 5 of the Netflix original series, and then cover the first TWO seasons of the Amazon Prime original "The Marevelous Mrs. Maisel." For the "Grab Bag" segment, Tristan comes home to "Homecoming" on Amazon Prime Video and Joe sticks with Netflix with the stand-up comedy series called... "The Standups" and the docu-series "Follow This."

Wired and tired, the boys jump into season 2 of HBO's "Crashing" starring Pete Holmes and ALSO season 2 of the Netflix original series "Atypical." In the "Grab Bag" segment, Tristan walks among Amazon Prime's "Red Oaks" and then the boys share their fondness for this budding new, sitcom called "The Office." No, it's just "The Office." Joe and Tristan are both rewatching the well-established, American version, NBC production of "The Office." For like the eighth time.

Tristan and Joe dive back into the fantastical "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" in its second season on Netflix. Then, making its leap from the grab bag to the main stage, the first couple of seasons of NBC's "The Good Place. In the "Grab Bag," Joe grapples with GLOW on Netflix, and Tristan shares his thoughts on the Amazon Prime original "Jack Ryan" featuring John Krasinski, who also played Jim on "The Office." So John played Jim and also Jack. Anyway, Tristan also chats a little about the Netflix original "Insatiable."

The Screens N' Streams men say "Hello Ladies" to Stephen Merchant's single-season series and film tie-in on HBO. From there, it's back into anthology town with season 2 of Joe Swanberg's Netflix original "Easy." In the "Grab Bag" this episode, Tristan sticks with HBO and shares some thoughts on the "killer" new series "Barry" starring Bill Hader. Joe brings a rapid-fire of movies/series he's been watching, starting with Kumail Nanjiani's semi-autobiographical dramedy "The Big Sick" and ending with the digital mess that is the reboot of the beloved Canadian animated series "ReBoot." It's a "ReBoot" reboot! ...And it's bad.

The screening/streaming duo toss the pigskin around in a conversation about the third season of "Ballers" on HBO, and then they speak on the spooky season 2 of "Stranger Things" from the Netflix camp. In this episode's "Grab Bag," Tristan talks Netflix's "Mindhunter" and Joe takes a little trip to "The Good Place" on NBC.

The fellas jump back into the slow burning Netflix original "Flaked" with some thoughts on its second season. After that, they take a gander at another new Netflix original, a charming little show called "Atypical." For the "Grab Bag" segment, Tristan takes a look at the Spike Lee series "She's Gotta Have It," and Joe chats a little bit about some shows he's looking forward to including some newer seasons of a few Screens N' Streams podcast staples. Also "The Disaster Artist" and the fascinating case study on terrible cinema that is Tommy Wiseau. Also the Stranger Things mobile game for some reason.

The screening/streaming pals take a first look at another Netflix original called "Friends From College." After that, they dive back into Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" for its third season. For this episode's grab bag segment, Tristan talks a little bit about HBO's "Insecure" and Joe discusses his somewhat reluctant viewing of Chris D'Elia's latest stand-up special on Netflix, "Man On Fire."
