Description

This week, Justin, Ashley, and Dave watched JUNG_E. Here’s the synopsis: “In a post-apocalyptic near-future, a researcher at an AI lab leads the effort to end a civil war by cloning the brain of a heroic soldier -- her mother.” Ashley cried at the end when the nice robot lady hugged her daughter. Justin loved all the robot stuff, but was confused as to what anyone's motivation was, how (and why) they cloned people's brains, and why the main character appeared to be a Vulcan. Dave couldn't figure out what this crazy space war was all about even through there were multiple expositions scenes about it.

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.
