July 25, 2020 by Neoplasmic in Movies, Podcast, RPC Movies, RPC Podcast Network, Spoilers, Streaming Wars, TV

So, how’s it going? Life got you down? Why not listen to episode 3 of the Streaming Wars, and check out our thoughts on a number of brand-spankin’-new VOD and streaming movies! Neoplasmic (Keona), The Streamin’ Demon (Jacob), The Director (Josh), and Kay-Rah (Kristal) discover that they should have left You Should Have Left alone, while they learn about the founding fathers through Lin Manuel Miranda’s rap musical Hamilton. Then it’s time for a rotation at sea with Tom Hanks in Apple TV+’s Greyhound, followed by a little political spin doctoring with Jon Stewart’s Irresistible, and some immortal action with The Old Guard. All this and even more on this extra-sized edition of the Streaming Wars, here on the RPC Podcast Network.
