Description

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched Choose or Die. Here’s the Netflix synopsis: “A broke student who plays an obscure 1980s survival computer game in pursuit of an unclaimed $100,000 prize. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she soon realises she's no longer playing for the money, but for her own life.” Robin, a horror aficionado, joined the podcast to help explain why this film wasn't a total dumpster fire. Dave didn't understand the premise or the ending. Justin didn't understand the premise or the ending either. But both enjoyed the fact that there were old 80s video game consoles in the film. Ashley ended up losing the bet she made with Justin on the last episode: she simply didn't enjoy this film, despite the (underutilized) charm of Asa Butterfield.

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.
