Dave, Justin, and Ashley watch the #1 show on Netflix for the week and try to answer the question: why are people watching this? Comedy and consternation ensue as two agreeable middle-aged chaps and a punchy millennial from rural Canada are subjected to bizarre Korean sci-fi, graphic true crime documentaries, unnecessary medical dramas, baffling 90s sitcoms, and insufferable Hallmark Christmas films. Their honest reactions are filled with wit, insight, and that oh-so Canadian brand of wholesome irreverence and humble exasperation.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
<p>In honor of Eurovision 2025 (which is happening this week) we watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga! Justin shares his enthusiasm for this film and all things Eurovision. Ashley is on board and has been on board with Eurovision for a few years now. Dave, who is brand new to Eurovision, seems to have been charmed both by this film AND Justin's Eurovision evangelism and maybe, just maybe, will watch this year's contest. Dave also picked the next thing we're going to be watching: Ted Lasso. Which Dave describes as "the best television show ever made."</p><p><br></p>

Severance?
<p>This week Ashley chose Severance as the show we should be watching. But in this episode we barely even mention Severance! So don't worry - no spoilers. Instead, we take a super deep dive into the problem of escapism! To counteract all this deepness, Justin has chosen Eurovision as the film we're watching next week. Just in time for the 2025 Eurovision finals!</p>
