Description

This week, Justin, Dave, and Ashley watched Happiness for Beginners. Here’s the official Netflix synopsis: “A year after her divorce, 32-year-old Helen Carpenter lets her brother persuade her to sign up for a wilderness
survival course. Through this experience she discovers that you have to get
lost to find yourself.” Dave was captivated by the smouldering gaze of Luke
Grimes. Ashley was flummoxed by beards. Justin was offended at the statement that “grown men don’t go study sea life.” Everyone felt that something was a bit off about this film, but Justin had some trivia that cleared up the confusion.

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.
