The Watchlist with Pattie and Bill

This week Bill wanted to discuss the latest executive order from the White House. If you want your local library and museums to continue to exist listen to our discussion.

It's a really really short episode this week. Neither of us watched anything new. But we're still here to entertain you! We start out with a woman and a wombat. Then we have some movies that may have been prophetic. The return of some new shows. Pattie gets some facts wrong, The Handmaid's Tale returns to Hulu for it's final season on April 8th. The final episode will be available on May 27. XO, Kitty has two seasons and a third on the way. Throw in one review each with a couple mentions of cute things on Netflix and a whole lot of ranting and this is the whole episode. This is why you don't want to miss it!

Daylight Savings Time has us dragging. Bill got a new tattoo that he's very excited about, which leads to a rather long discussion about tattoos.

Pattie watched a bunch of stuff for this week's episode. Bill, however, did not. He didn't watch a darned thing.

Bill and Pattie want to know: Do you go to the theater for the shared experience, or would you prefer to be the only one in the place? An article in the New York Times about the annoyance of inappropriate laughter at the theater is what inspired this discussion. Don't worry, this episode isn't only the discussion, we do bring a few reviews too. Reviewed this week: Physical: 100 - Netflix Back in Action - Netflix A Real Pain - Hulu

This week Friend of the Pod, Dave, shared an article with us about how streamers are over-feeding and starving audiences at the same time. There's so much out there, but none of it is that great. Bill asks, if the streaming services went back to the old model of releasing the big movies in the summer, fall, holiday season, Oscar season, etc. where they put their budgets into a big blockbuster kind of movie vs spreading budgets for a larger variety of mediocre crap, would that make a difference and would audiences respond to that better? This would include moving all new TV series to the fall premieres like they used to when there was only network television. What do you think? Would that be better than the constant release of crap? How do you find out about new and upcoming shows when there are so many things and so many streaming services? We've also got 3 short reviews for you this week.
