There’s some talk about sandwiches & gambling & sports & TV binge watches here. Then as we like to do on Monday shows, even though this isn’t your MMOW, we do a bit of a box office update on some record low numbers, and we overview some additional offerings from our newest streaming purchases like this new Hulu trial that we both bundled with Disney and ESPN Plus’s. Your MMO Weekly episode is coming up next on our programming, unless something else earth shattering happens (please no). Otherwise, we’ll continue these types of news / streaming overview / movie review mishmosh combo shows with Apple+ as our next watch-at-home purchase. So we’ll keep up the social distancing and binge watching in order to report on it with our programming this week. Do check out our last few shows to get caught up on all our suggestions on what to watch at home during this quarantine. We did a Watch List Top 5’s episode, which featured both our recommendations and those of our audience & podcast friends. We also did a show about the upcoming slate of Netflix with Andrew from The NOMcast, where we reviewed Lost Girls. Now we take a cursory look at the offerings of Hulu & dive into Big Time Adolescence. There’s a non-spoiler section first, where we discuss some of our general thoughts & highlights, and then we dive into our best & worst scenes in spoilers. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts, and maybe take part in that bundle with us for Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus.
