On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it's time to get patriotic and discuss what keeps our flag waving when we indulge in entertainment. Patriotic movies and TV are all over the place - Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Independence Day, everything Michael Bay directs - so what makes us stand at attention and respect the screen? Also, we debate if current events ever affect our patriotism when watching.

That's not all! Also on this episode, Kyle from NoReruns.net joins in for spoiler-free reviews of Supergirl and Toy Story 5, weird movie theater etiquette, and much more.

We hope you enjoy this entertaining and packed episode of The Hollywood Outsider!

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we are past the quarter century park, so it's time for reflection on television and its impact on us. Ergo, we debate the most rewatchable TV shows of this century. An important note, this does not mean the greatest shows, this means comfort food, television we keep coming back to that is like a warm blanket. Shows like Modern Family, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Psych, Justified, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Lost, Fringe, Schitt's Creek, and a host of others. We narrow it down to our Top 16 TV shows of this century - a mix of popularity, listener choices, and our own - and whittle it down to THE most rewatchable TV show of the century!

That's not all! Also on this episode, Disclosure Day, Office Romance and others appear on our Whatcha Been Watchin' segment, Paramount and Warner Bros. is a done deal, 60 Minutes drama with Bari Weiss, and much more.

We hope you enjoy this entertaining and packed episode of The Hollywood Outsider!
