it depends on the show. difference is more noticeable with anime like i binged the first 9 episodes of chainsaw man and it was the right call since its such a fun and like wacky experience ig. but there’s also stuff like vinland saga, where currently its been 7 episodes of watching slaves learn how to farm and its much more introspective, so week to week is pretty good cause it’d be hard to keep at it for an hour or 2 at a time yk?

I do background acting on shows and movies. Some tv show directors are very particular about background, like to hand select them and are adamant in the casting calls about "only fresh faces " meaning you had not worked on camera on that production.

I think it just helps with authenticity in their mind. In practice, it doesn't make a huge difference to the average viewer.

Back when streaming didn't exist, I would intentionally not watch random episodes of shows I liked so I had new content to watch when I bought the DVDs.

Have I ever? I don’t start a season until the final episode has been released. I know if I started a week early I’d be fine since I wouldn’t get to the final episode until after it aired anyway, but it’s important to me that the data they get showed them I waited.

> the gang talks about their favorite episodes of each season

I wish they talked about the episodes. Feels like it became them talking about themselves and maybe mentioning the episode.

akshooally it was narcos

I was just watching a bunch of 70s movies and realized hes like the new Burt Reynolds.

And now, I'll come back to watch Billions again.

Pedro was already an A list actor prior to the last of us

Unless it's a huge global phenomenon like GoT where I have to be caught up each week because everyone's talking about it then yes. Nearly every show I watch is one that's already completed so I can binge.

I thought you meant the Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence movie Life. I have seen that a ton of times and I couldn't picture who Damian Lewis played.

Not sure if this is still happening but Michael Peña is supposed to guest star in the final season of Jack Ryan and his character get a spin off. https://deadline.com/2022/05/jack-ryan-end-season-4-final-season-spinoff-michael-pena-ding-chavez-amazon-tom-clancy-1235014723/

They should have done that one.

it's weird. when i binge i just set aside time and do it but when i watch weekly i find myself never in the right mood and i keep delaying, usually 2-3 episodes at a time.

"Breakout"? He's been beloved by geek culture ever since playing Oberyn Martell

Thanks again for staying with what i really asked. Colm Meaney is probably the best example for this.

Seems it was a pretty obvious question, i just read that the Screen Actors Guild has some pretty strict rules about stuff like that. Just for example who is mentioned in the credits and where etc. Maybe, what i was thinking about, only applies to movies.

I guess i did overthink this one a bit.

Interesting, could be the male spy has difficulty getting his memory back. But considering the behind the scenes drama with the producers and stuff, I wonder how much has changed since 2020.

It was also mentioned by Ian to Popp in the next episode. He showed her where they carved Doc loves Beans or whatever it was they carved in and tells her about the company that used to be there.

This is still on?

I could see him as Burt lol...Oh god they need to pick a Country Start to be his wife too, we need to keep the joke up.

Maybe Michael Gross could play his Grandpa in a cameo

Nah. He'd make a better Burt.

You don't need to watch it as that one 10-12 hour block though. You can watch one episode per day, 2, none, only other day... whatever you prefer. With weekly, you're just tied to that one day. I think that's way harder to manage than choosing when to watch and how much.

I find it easier to watch stuff as it airs. One hour a week for 10-12 weeks is an easy commitment, but if that builds up to one 10-12 hour block, it gets a bit harder to manage.

I admit I got it wrong back in 2010 and that stuck with me until a couple of weeks ago when I finished a complete rewatch. I am at peace now lol.
