Get Your Eyes On This

What makes Cheer on Netflix so compelling? We react to Cheer and its look into the cheerleading subculture of the U.S., and discuss some of the controversy around the series. Next up is A Beautiful Lie, available on the CBC Gem App here in Canada. This series is a modern take on Anna Karenina, one of the foremost novels in history. We also wonder why Australian series don't get as much love as they should here in North America. Lastly, the 90s film The Player. It's aged badly, but is it still interesting?

The holiday movie season has begun and this week Helen and Niall delve into the big-screen "Christmas Movie of the Decade," (or at least how its marketing has billed it): Last Christmas, featuring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Next up with take a look back at Season 1 of the Crown, which gives you lots of time to catch up on Season 3 of the Crown in a future episode with us (be sure to subscribe!). Last of all, it's Netflix's answer to Hallmark Christmas movies with Holiday in the Wild, an absolutely garbage script foisted on a comely Rob Lowe and a still gorgeous Charlotte from Sex and the City aka Kristin Davis.

Niall and Helen talk about El Camino (The Breaking Bad movie), The Politician, Schitt's Creek S5, They'll Love Me When I'm Dead and Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2.  Let's dive into all kinds of fresh Netflix offerings (El Camino and The Politician and Schitt's Creek season 5), older content (a documentary about Orson Welles called They'll Love Me When I'm Dead). And last but NEVER least, the masterpieces that are the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, courtesy of Eddie Murphy.   Talk to us on Twitter: @HelenRac and @GetYourEyesOn

We delve into Zach Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns made us laugh (but fell down in some parts), Abominable...should you take your kids to the movie theatre or wait for it to come out on digital? The Emmys just happened and Phoebe Waller-Bridge won big for Fleabag, so we look at her first TV show, Crashing. It's on Netflix and it's great. We also watch Will Sharpe's Season 2 of Flowers. Uneven but still brilliant.

This episode Helen and Niall chat about Will Sharpe's Flowers on Netflix, which is superb. It stars Olivia Colman. Helen is enjoying Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4, and Niall watches and comments on Hysteria, the Def Leppard Documentary and the genius that is Mutt Lange, Shania Twain's ex-husband.

This episode of Get Your Eyes on This is all and only about Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) that made Hugh Grant a star. It's Niall's favourite movie, but it doesn't even crack Helen's top 10. How has it held up?   Get in touch on Twitter: @GetYourEyesOn and @HelenRac

Lots of spoilers in this episode about Fleabag, which is brilliant. A very brief mention of why Mission Impossible Fallout is terrible (except for Henry Cavill). Glow Season 3 with Marc Maron is the best season yet and this show keeps getting better. The Saint still holds up as a smart movie with lots of chemistry between Elizabeth Shue and Val Kilmer. Let us know what you think! @helenrac and @getyoureyeson

It's Amazon Prime video time! Destination Wedding featuring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder was savaged in the press, but we liked its snappy dialogue and mature realness. The Spy Who Dumped me features Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon (and a very appealing Sam Heughan). It's a really fun summer girls' caper action movie, watch it! Almost Famous with Jason Lee and Kate Hudson is rewatchable (according to Niall) and the worst (according to Helen). Here's why they disagree on it. Also, are their telephone operators anymore? Tweet us at @helenrac and let us know!

In this podcast we discuss Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello and whether they hired a photographer in Miami to take paparazzi-style shots of them. Here's a link to Helen's YouTube video on the subject: "SHAWN MENDES AND CAMILA CABELLO RELATIONSHIP IS A PR STUNT? (And they hired a photographer?) https://youtu.be/5zALm_CDFQM We also delve into Edge of Seventeen, a landmark coming-of-age movie that's on Netflix. Here's why. Next up for review is Fear of 13 and why Niall thinks it's an amazing, compelling story about Nick Yarris' time on death row. Enjoy! And connect with us at @NiallCMcGee and @HelenRac

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello ARE actually a couple! Also, our reaction to the brand new Top Gun 2 Trailer, a deep dig into Top Gun, also our take on Emmy-nominated Canadian show Schitt's Creek, and the documentary Dogtown and Z Boys.

Are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello really in a relationship or are they playing us? Let's go through the photographic evidence and decide. This week, aside from talking A LOT about Shawn Mendes, we discuss how Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation stands up and why Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray make this movie magic. James Corden's Carpool Karaoke is lots of fun. And lastly, if you love to hear singing (who doesn't?) this is why thoughtful vocal coach YouTuber Tristan Paredes channel is one you don't want to miss. Tristan Paredes channel

The new "Senorita" music video by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes is a sexy summer jam with a smoking hot video to match. This is film-making magic, people! We talk about Indigo Traveller and why his off-the-beaten path YouTube videos are so compelling, here's his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXulruMI7BHj3kGyosNa0jA Next up is Toast of London and why it's so funny, and a delve into Secret Life of Pets 2...so cute! Shout out to Niall's cousin's son, the brilliant Conor Mc Allister. Go check out his music right now: https://www.facebook.com/conormcallistermusic/

SPOILER ALERT We were invited to a pre-screening of Men In Black International, starting Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. This is what we thought of it. Black Mirror season 5 is out now and we watch Striking Vipers starring Anthony Mackie. The premise is amazing and the acting is great, but this new season fails to deliver the emotional resonance of seasons past. Last Breath (no spoilers here) is a documentary about a diving accident, and it's touching, moving and the best thing Niall has watched all year. Next podcast we'll discuss Indigo Traveller, a YouTube channel on our must-watch list! Thanks for listening everyone, and hit us up with your comments on Twitter: @helenrac

This week Niall and Helen dive into the new Downton Abbey movie trailer. What is Lady Mary doing? Spoiler! She has a bob haircut. They both watched Always Be My Maybe and were STUNNED by the awesome Keanu Reeves cameo role. American Meme is a sad but watchable documentary featuring Paris Hilton, Brittany Furlan, The Fat Jewish and Kirill. How To Get Over a Breakup (Soltera Codiciada in Spanish) is a bright and beautiful romcom from Peru that you need to get your eyes on.

Hello everyone! Skip ahead to 14:27 if you want to miss our chat about Howard Stern's interview on Terry Gross' Fresh Air on NPR (or hang out with us as we delve into it). We watched The Choice based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It was a mixed bag, but we both agree it was beautifully shot. Tuca and Bertie stars the voice acting of Tiffany Haddish (Girls' Trip) and Ali Wong (Hard Knock Wife) and is just adorable, kooky and delightful. Highway Thru Hell takes us back to when the Alberta Oil Sands were booming just a few years ago (they're not anymore) and some of the characters and conflicts that fuel the show.
