**Why are people watching this?**

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.

Army of Thieves Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Dave and Justin discuss Army of Thieves, the #1 show on Netflix this week. In this prequel to "Army of the Dead," a mysterious woman recruits bank teller Dieter to assist in a heist of impossible-to-crack safes across Europe. Dave didn’t enjoy this at all, and spent the entire film waiting for an explanation of the Army of the Dead time loop paradox that never appeared. Justin loved this film and identified with the nerdy German safe-cracking protagonist. Ashley sort of liked it at first but learned to hate it in the end. The group was divided, but all did agree that it would be worth their time to go to an underground safe-cracking tournament in Berlin the next time they’re in town.
