This is it. The final episode of the Always Be Watching podcast. And what an episode it is.
Okay - don't expect much from this podcast. This is really just podcast host Dan Barrett advising the many ABW listeners that the podcast has concluded. You're invited to join Dan over at his new podcast: Screen Watching.
It's like Always Be Watching, but with actual preparation.

This week on the podcast Dan is joined by returning guest Blake Howard (One Heat Minute and the All The President's Minutes podcast). The two of them take a deep dive into what's going on with The Mandalorian this season with a very specific focus on the recent episode 'The Jedi' which saw the live-action introduction of fan-favourite animated character Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson).
Dan then goes on to discuss the new Saved By The Bell reboot/follow-up series. Does it live up to the hype?
Blake talks up the new Aussie sketch comedy show Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun. And then swings back to discuss a show we talked about earlier this year: HBO's Perry Mason.

Dan and Chris are back for another Always Be Watching podcast. What treasures have they unearthed this week?
Dan celebrates the icon of white supremacy Pepe with the doco Feels Good Man. (This probably should have been reworded differently).Chris celebrates an icon of capitalism and corporate propaganda with Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, which takes a deep dive into the making of the smash hit Disney+ series.
Dan wraps things up with Host - a genuinely scary film currently streaming on horror streamer Shudder.
It's a good one this week folks. Join us... won't you?

Dan and Chris this week are joined by Mark Humphries. You probably know him best as the host of the beloved, but cancelled too-soon Ten game show Pointless. Or maybe you know him from his weekly satirical sketches on the ABCs flagship current affairs show 730. We know him as a guy who really loves talking about TV.

It's a theme week as we travel back to the future.
We start things off with a look at the 2020 version of The Fugitive, looking at what it gets right and wrong as a property based on a 60s and 90s TV show/movie. (03:25)
But then we had back to 1986 for the Talking Heads movie True Stories. (24:47)
Dan's been watching Halt & Catch Fire - a mid 2010s show set in the 1980s. (41:35)And then we look at what might be the final years of cinema as TV and cinema finally converge. (52:52)

Yeah - it's a big episode. -
On the Always Be Watching Pod, officially the podcast of record that cites the viewing interests of Dan Barrett and Chris Yates, the two watchers discuss the new Netflix documentary series Fear City: New York vs The Mafia. Dan has a grab-bag of movies he has watched recently including Almost Famous, State & Main, and new Netflix film Desperados. Oh, and Chris finally caps of his weeks-long watching of all the Jaws movies with the much maligned Jaws 3 and Jaws 4.

It was a bit of a quiet week for us watching new TV (there's so little of it around worth chatting about), but that didn't stop us getting passionate about the things we were actually watching.
Dan went to the cinema and saw all three Christopher Nolan Batman movies - Batman Begins/The Dark Knight/The Dark Knight Rises and his opinions on the films have shifted. (06:19)
Both Chris and Dan are really excited by the new podcast The Oral History of The Office. The two discuss watching the show and how the podcast has made them feel about the show. {31:34)
Rosehaven is one of the few really good Aussie comedies and both Dan and Chris are into it... with a few reservations. (58:32)
Yes, this show ran long. But the passion these boys have for what they've been watching - it runs deep.

The biggest theatre event on the planet this month took place not at the currently shuttered theatre, but on people's TV screens thanks to Disney+. Across the world people were watching Hamilton. Dan and Chris were particularly interested in how one takes a live theatre performance and actually lets it be good on TV - not always an easy task.
Chris stumbled upon Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan and loved it. Oh, and Dan stayed up way too late with a red muppet talk show host named Elmo.
This is the Always Be Watching podcast. No flipping.

The biggest show on the planet has been Floor is Lava - Dan and Chris have both watched the show and absolutely bought into its ridiculous simplicity. Obviously, Dan has some criticisms.
Floor is Lava is just one of several big format activity-based game shows on the air right now. Dan offers a rundown on what else is happening in this space at the moment.

HBO launched a new Perry Mason TV series. Dan has one big concern with it. Meanwhile Chris lavishes praise on the new Netflix Eric Andre special. And then it's time for a look back at Freaks & Geeks. How does it hold up 20 years later?
