Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE is the Netflix docuseries following the formation of Katseye, the global girl group from HYBE and Geffen. It narrows down thousands of girls, to tens, to the final 6, and it definitely doesn’t want you to call it K-Pop (even though Kpop is a huge compliment and definitely the style they were going for, but we digress).

Did you watch Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE? Did you agree with the audition and show tac...

In this minisode, Kim discusses where she’s been (Asia) and Jason discusses where he’s going (Asia), and a big big announcement from the Tokyo Game Show as it happens! We timed it that way, it’s legit.

Next week we’ll be back with a regularly scheduled episode, but for now, we’re all having a friendly catch up!You can watch us now at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify.

If you prefer audio-only, we’ve got you covered ri...

We are sharing our guilty pleasure watches of the summer, but who picked what?! Welcome to Wrexham and the Great American Baking Show both have their roots in both America and Great Britain, and features celebrities doing stuff they wouldn’t normally do, between Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Zach Cherry, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Paul HOLLYWOOD (whoah, another coincidence). 

What do you watch that’s out of character for you? Le...

Sirens on Netflix is a miniseries starring Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton, and more. It’s nominated for awards, but is this ultra-wealthy soapy limited series worth the watch?

Surprisingly, Jason has seen the whole thing and explains it all to Kim, who will decide if it’s something she wants to see! What did you think of Sirens? Would you see it?

Dexter: Resurrection may just be as good as the best Dexter original Showtime series!

This new series features Dexter (Michael C Hall), Batista (David Zayas), Harry (James Remar), Harrison (Jack Alcott), and a KILLER new cast including Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Krysten Ritter, David Dasmalcian, Eric Stonestreet, and Neil Patrick Harris. 

Kim is breaking down through Dexter: Resurrection season 1 episode 9 fully (spoilers!...

Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser aka the Netflix Biggest Loser docuseries caused a lot of controversy between subjects like Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels (who didn’t participate), Dr Robert Huizenga, and behind the scenes talent J.D. Roth and David Broome, among many others.

And the documentary itself has received criticism for how it handled, or didn’t handle, sensitive and health related topics. 

Our first ever ...

Alien: Earth is out! But how do you solve the problem of…what is an “Alien Earth?” Trailer footage was incredibly hopeful for the FX series based on the iconic work of Ridley Scott and H.R. Giger, but we’re happy to say the Alien Earth TV series is mostly pretty great!

Check out our SPOILER FILLED discussion and erstwhile Alien: Earth review of sorts. What elements worked for you and which didn’t?

King of the Hill is back more than 10 years later! But is it just as good as before??

Kim and Jason give their thoughts on the Hulu revival and on what Hank Hill represents all these chaotic years later.

The final installment of Netflix’s Trainwreck series is out, and oh boy, what an apt name. Travel back to 2019 when a self-described shitposter created an extremely expensive series of events that are still not fully resolved. Everyone walks away feeling…something. Was this a successful series??

Episode 25 is Comic Con ‘25, with news from both this year (even though we didn’t interact once in San Diego) It’s a big catchup in this SDCC minisode!

Kim broke a news exclusive in an interview with Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and breaks down her several days-worth of work reporting the news and interviewing showrunners and stars!

Jason was only in town for 24 hours, but someh...

Opus (2025) starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich is now streaming on HBO Max. Despite not being a critical success in its theatrical run, we think this movie is a good watch, and sometimes, absolutely chilling!

This movie really connected to Kim (who has been in weird situations ostensibly to interview someone famous or important) and Jason less so (as a musician, not a killer cult leader). Is it an A24 film on your list?

Also, li...

It’s a minisode! Jason performed at 'AEW All In Texas' this weekend and tells the tale of that and what it’s like to sing theme music for wrestlers, Final Fantasy, and wrestlers who love Final Fantasy.

Kim has a San Diego Comic Con announcement that is somewhat less exciting than singing a wrestling hype-up song with pyrotechnics and a costumes choir. Somewhat.

Check it out, along with a strangely fun streaming recom...

Rage is maybe too strong a word, because we actually love this show. Yes, it’s boring, slow, has flat characterization, and only superficially handles important topics, but believe it or not, we love it.

What’s your favorite cozy watch? Your slow, easy-to-stomach story? And is it as out of character as ours?

We are also a video podcast! If you weren’t watching before, you can now on Youtube at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify...

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is exactly what it sounds like and more. Netflix’s “Trainwreck” anthology series brings us “Poop Cruise” and 7 other disaster-trainment features this summer! All aboard! Please head to the poop deck (all the decks are poop decks)!

What were you doing, Valentines Day 2013? If you were on the Carnival Triumph cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, you were, well, knee-deep in toilet lasagna. If you don’t know wh...

Pay. Your. Cheerleaders!!! Despite having no interest in sports, Kim loves the DCC in large part due to Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Who knew about the intense pressure, demanding schedules, unique subculture, and low, low, very low pay for these professional NFL cheerleaders? We do, and so does the world, now. 

Will the cheerleaders ultimately win the battle to get some baseline respect and ...

Saturday Night (2024) from director Jason Reitman tells the story of the 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live in truly unbelievable fashion. It can’t be believed, you see, because it did not happen that way.

What matters more: reality or vibes? Truth or legend-creation? Saturday Night Live is a groundbreaking show that’s lasted 50 years and is sure to last more and Saturday Night…sure is a movie. It’s st...

Hacks is one of the best comedies streaming anywhere, but did season 4 uphold that and stick the landing? Since we’ve never talked about the show before, we’re giving a series overview!

And of course, since this is us, there are several side stories in between that are mostly related to comedy, music, and Hollywood. 

What did you think of Hacks season 4, and where else can Deborah and Ava go?

Casa Bonita is the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants and rules so hard: we know it, the creators of South Park know it, and basically all of Colorado knows it. 

We watched Paramount Plus’ Casa Bonita, Mi Amor, highlighting Matt Stone and Trey Parker on their journey to spend 40 million dollars on a strip mall Mexican restaurant stuck in the 70s. And we both went! Jason: pre-renovation, Kim: post-renovation/ new Founders Club.
