Down to Watch lines up an evening of scares with 2011's Fright Night! Dan and Raul are squaring a spooky circle they started last year with the 1985 original by checking out the second go-round with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots and Anton Yelchin in the main roles (we still get an Ed but lose a Billy). This retry at a horror version of Rear Window has the advantage of 20+ years of horror history to draw inspiration and experience from in order to turn this send up of b-movies that

This week, DtW is going to Alaska to see about some chairs! Dan and Raul caught a couple of pilot episodes for The Last Frontier and The Chair Company. In Frontier, we revisit the idea of a bunch of Cons in the Air when a prison transport crashes near remote Faibanks, and Frank the local marshalls have to contend with dangerous fugitives in the area while an arriving CIA agent has to lock down one specific asset she's lost. Codenamed Havelock, this asset was added to the transport roster at the last

This week on Down to Watch, it's a dangerous business being a truthstorian! Dan and Raul caught a couple eps of The Lowdown, Hulu's new drama from the creator of Mare of Easttown. The cool new series follows Ethan Hawke as an indie reporter getting the dirt on the powerful people in town. He's great at lots of things, like being a dad, getting the scoop, and receiving a whooping. But how many punches to the face make a great reporter in this promising new tale based loosely on a true

Spooky season is upon us and Down to Watch is rattling up some new TV! Dan and Raul have sifted through the tricks and treats of October and have filled your round plastic pumpkin pale with a bit of everything. There's Tim Robinson getting weird at The Chair Company, Pennywise making people feel Welcome to Derry and something like Con Air redux in The Last Frontier. Scary stuff includes animated Avengers with a hankering for brains while the theaters welcome back some freaky favorites

This week, DtW has just one Task! Dan and Raul previewed the new HBO crime/family drama in the monthly upcoming TV shows ep and after hearing good things about the premiere, it's time to tackle the first two eps. The story follows dual protags with mirrored lives, as a priest turned FBI agent searches for a crew robbing trap houses in the area led by a secretly vengeful family man down on his luck. Both characters have heavy and complicated tragedies hanging over them while the dope dealers make

This week, Down to Watch isn't afraid to go back in the water after 50 years of Jaws! Dan and Raul reminisce about the first blockbuster that set the stage for a summer of big budget blowouts, a series of sequels and copycats and a lifetime of Spielberg flicks. Bruce, the big mechanical shark that didn't work right during production, is the star here as the world learned to be afraid of even land-locked bodies of water, but there's plenty passed the gray-skinned chomper to praise

This week the DtW crew is out of the office but into The Paper! Dan and Raul are subscribed to the new spinoff from The Office, borrowing the creator and a single character from the original show. Greg Daniels continues to draw attention thanks to the legendary status of the original program, despite his previous attempt in Space Force falling well short of his original hit with Steve Carrell. This time he brought Oscar along for a look at a branching story about paper, a fading newspaper in this

It's back to school time again, and despite societal collapse it still means new TV shows for DtW to talk about! Dan and Raul are happy to see returning friends from Tulsa royalty to multi-unit based murderers but the real fun is in all the new friends to be made. There's a serious Task from the Mare of Easttown creator, a Billionaire's Bunker from them that made Money Heist and The Paper from The Office's originators. The Savant is searching for killers, Chad Powers is trying to

It's all synth and sunglasses on Down to Watch this week as the summer heat is the perfect temp for a trip to 90s Florida! Dan and Raul watched the pilot and season 4 finale of the original Miami Vice TV series, a show that gave us slick detectives, fast cars and boats, and hit tunes to fill out a crime drama with a new feel. The cultural impact of this show was so great that Crockett and Tubbs became names even people who have never seen the show can recognize, and the style of Miami Vice has been

Finally, the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated Alien TV show has arrived! Dan and Raul fancy themselves pretty well-versed in the 'Xenomorpho-verse' so they were stoked to see what accomplished TV-creator extraodinaire, Noah Hawley, had in mind for the expansion of this very popular universe. Listen to the guys iterate on the details that link stylistically the many interesting ways the OG Alien movie gets referenced while offering many new characters that include cyborgs, synths, and

The burning hot Down to Watch summer is stretching into August with a rock solid addition to the MCU that's anything but invisible, girl! Dan and Raul can't talk about the Fantastic Four: First Steps without the stalwart Jonnie to round out the comic adaptation team, and the three launch into a space spanning story about parenthood that brings Marvel's first family to the big screen again. This round, the story is expected to tie into the ongoing timeline that's being shepherded by

Down to Watch is back to the monthly map of new series and favorite franchises just in time for an awesome August! Dan and Raul have the details on the worlds we're returning to, including a surprising "sequel" to The Naked Gun trilogy, the Alien franchise landing on Earth as a TV show, Wakanda goes animated and John Cena is Peacemaker again but now with a new Superman. That's not to say the new stuff isn't exciting, as our hosts are very excited for the upcoming film Weapons,

Down to Watch is up in the sky with the birds, planes and the 1978  Superman! Dan and Raul ride the current Kryptonian hype and watched the film that inspired the new incarnation as well as so many other films. Christopher Reeve gives us a man of steel that has yet to be topped,  the music is an iconic ode to the character and the special effects are charming enough to make you believe a man can fly. Come take that flight with DtW, we promise minimal poetry!

This episode examines the latest Superman film directed by James Gunn, focusing on its lighter tone, character depth, and a hopeful portrayal of Superman. It discusses pacing issues, superhero rights, and concludes with a fun game of Taboo.

Down to Watch is back in theaters and back to the UK to see how they're doing 28 Years Later! Dan and Raul are glad to see the team of Boyle and Garland getting back together to revisit the world they created when they rewrote many zombie tropes with 28 Days Later back in 2002. After a middle movie that has basically been written out of the series canon, do the originators of the series return it to its groundbreaking luster or does this entry stray from the fast zombies far enough to fail the
