How Original: Recent Episodes

Pat & George

Join Pat and George as they dissect the finest cinema of our time: Netflix originals. Will our hosts have the mental fortitude to explore the most cursed corners of Netflix's catalogue? Or will they fold like cowards and watch Prime?

View Details

Buongiorno ragazzi! This one's for all the fraudsters out there, because we're covering the rare Netflix Original W "Ripley" (2024). We delve into Pat's obsession with passports and our ongoing investigation of the case of Drake v. Kendrick. Can modern viewers handle b&w? Why is this show too beautiful for Netflix? How hard is identity theft, really? And just what was Ripley's whole DEAL anyway? Guy was so twisted, he was like the freaking Joker. Click play to get all the answers.

View Details

The boys can’t make heads or tails of ‘Mea Culpa’ (2024), a movie that has garnered almost unanimously scathing reviews. Did George get conned in Mexico? Can a movie have a ‘twist’ if it doesn’t make any sense? What’s it like at Shoeless Joe’s? Could Pat survive one sip of the ‘preparation?’ Are the Colorado Avalanche promoting getting cucked? Will mayor Ken Sim let Vancouverites celebrate in the streets? Tap in for the answers, loyalists.

This is a rare breed: a Pat-only episode. Pat sits down, cracks a Guinness 0, and tears through ‘Puppy Love’ (2023), an AMAZON ORIGINAL. He talks about the losers on the Criterion subreddit, the backpack lifestyle, dog-fishing on apps, why is this movie not a tight 90, ‘Marvin’s Room,’ Tik Tok rizz parties, and horrendous first-dates. How many problems you got (a lot), how many times you pod (a lot), how many plots you done forgot (a lot). Back to regularly scheduled podding next week!

Once again, How Original pods for longer than the length of the movie. Always bet the over. The boys cover ‘The Babysitter” (2017) and have a great time even if the movie makes no sense. They talk about the ongoing Drake situation, George’s nonlinear interpretation of the very linear movie, taking her to the Hyatt and then freaking it, friend of the pod Sid from ‘Toy Story,’ learning to embrace the mysteries of Criterion 24/7, and the traumas of being a cadet. Plus: George thinks he should randomly get a week off the pod for vacation?? Okay, bud. Btw the movies the boys watched in the background on mute were “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” (1983), and then “Night on Earth” (1991), if you’re a fellow Criterion critter.

Sorry Pat, we're actually not covering ABC's hit show "Lost" (2004-2010). This week we delve into "The Lost Daughter" (2021). We also discuss munching raw spinach over the sink for health points, spoiler etiquette, and the microbiome of Kevin Smith's jorts. Is Ben Affleck's character in "Jersey Girl" jerker of the year? Is J. Cole too humble, or not humble enough? Is George just stupid for buying a sage suit? Is the big one cap? The answers may surprise you...

View Details

This episode has been hurtling towards listeners for a while now, much like a world-ending asteroid. This week the boys cover ‘Don’t Look Up’ (2021), a true extinction event of a movie, a real stinker. Pat and George talk about apocalypse survival tactics, attractive stars playing frumpy, should Leo and Jonah have swapped roles, where was China in all this, the allure of being a scientist with clout, and much more. Pat also exhumes a divisive 2007 forum debate about whether Jessica Biel or Jessica Alba was hotter. If you have strong opinions on this matter, or anything else discussed in this video episode, feel free to write us.

Don't you Irish Wish (2024) you were listening to How Original right now? Well, you're in the right timeline, baby. Yes, Pat's still in love with Lindsay Lohan like it's 2007. We talk about the ethics of manipulating info discovered in alternate timelines, the fiction of the Huberman lab, scenes where writers stare at Chapter 1, the psychosexual interiority of Meek Mill, a proper pint of Guinness, and the Kennedy families. This is a dream come true for all the rom com heads out there.

Heavy weighs Tim "The Big Dog" Chalamet's crown in "The King" (2019). In this episode we worship at the church of Tim, ruminating on topics such as questionable car purchases, framed bedside celeb photos, Pat's strange sword addiction, Lilly Rose-Depp's sizeable aura, period piece pedanticism, fighting in the muddiest field of all time, AND MORE. Are you as Timulated as we are? Level with us.

Please, someone ground Sandler. Bring our guy home. This week the boys are coming to you live from CzechConnect, discussing Spaceman (2024). We also tackle the honestly more riveting topics of donair hands, zero g "emissions", land vs. sea vs. air actors, unnecessary reskins of classic movies, the pantheon critters we've sent into space, and MUCH more.

Finally, the boys enter the illustrious world of spinoff movies. This one ain't bad, if you're into that kind of thing. Pat and George riff on "El Camino" and greedy TV fans, how to dress when you're on the lam, comfort movies, Pat's issues with the smol beanification of Jesse Pinkman by fans, the disappointingly brief screentime given to the actual El Camino, and the joys of being wordmaxxed bookcels. This episode is on the shorter side - the rare case we clock in UNDER the movie's runtime, not that we're constantly embattled because of this joke...

View Details

Chat, is this real? It’s another video episode of How Original - you can feel the boys’ auras through the screen. They cover ‘Players’ (2024) and discuss topics like Netflix streaming the SAG awards (earth-shattering...), Pat’s giant t-shirt, whether you should edit your lover’s writing, whether friend groups should spend their waking lives in bars telling lies, Georges Bataille’s dark twisted fantasy, and how Mountain Equipment Co-op became this week’s Enemy of the Pod(TM). If you wanna sip along at home you’ll need a case of Black Razzberry La Croix for this one.

Go, go, go, go, pod so good we honour roll. We're back in our bag talking about vapid romcom sequels. The movie this week is 'To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You' (2020), and we cover topics such as becoming suspension bridge regulars, teachers spilling industry secrets, the Super Bowl (sadly not a Netflix exclusive yet), Pat going deep in Taytay's catalogue, horrifying a cappella Valentine's Day activities, the male urge to build big statues, the simulacrum of the Alo influencer gym, and some other stuff. PS we still love you (imagine us screaming this directly into your face like you're Andy Reid and we're Travis Kelce).

Scoopitty woop. Woopity scoop. Lift yourself up on your feet for this one, folks, you'll need to get some blood flowin' to your brains cause we're discussing our WOATest Netflix original yet. And, in case you were wondering, our discussion of 'Lift' (2024) starring Kevin Hart DID in fact lead into intense speculation about Natalie Wood's death. We also get into our grand plans for Jacob Elordi's bathwater, the age-old Wilma Flintstone v. Jane Jetson debate, the conspicuous lack of anti-trap dryer innovation, opening the emergency door of a plane mid-flight, and WAY more. We promise we'll pick a better movie next week.

I don’t know watchu heard about me… but I’m a motherfuckin P-O-D-C-A… okay, you get it. We’re back from the grave. We’ve meticulously scripted a whole new season of episodes for you. Today Pat and George are covering ‘Good Grief’ (2023) and some other topics - Netflix’s quest for prestige, a little awards show called the Oscars, what was the deal with Epstein’s temple, and a mysterious disappearing hairbrush. Also: the agonies of learning critical theory, Pat can’t stop thinking about ‘Anatomy of a Fall,’ George is still thinking about the philosophical implications of Nicki’s ‘New Body,’ the heroic narcissists everyone else complains about, and is Paris just mids? Make sure to watch the video on the biggest screen you possibly can (projected on the side of your neighbour’s house, for instance).

It's a surprise season finale, and the boys are capping it off with the new Bradley Cooper joint where he's a concert penist or some shit, 'Maestro' (2023). More importantly, they finally delve into whether Antarctica and the Arctic are the same thing, rail against industry plant accusers, and debate about buying the l8 gr8 Fast Cat ferries. If you miss this one, you WILL contract clinical fomo, for which there is no known cure. Don't take any chances. BYEEEE.

It's very important you watch our video episode for 'Bird Box' (2018), otherwise you'll miss a sight gag and you won't get the proper How Original experience - you might as well be Sandra Bullock rowing a boat blindfolded. Pat and George discuss the alleged winner of the streaming wars, Netflix's foray into video games, the Bird Box challenge (knowing our listeners, you guys did it), worldbuilding nitpicks, Talking Heads-era suits, and the cable-drama 'Suits.' Pat also shines light on a LIE that Netflix has been perpetuating - this is important stuff. Take the blindfold off. It's safe.

Pop the champagne and get comfy - the first, extra long episode of 2024 covers the Netflix original 'Leave the World Behind' (2023) and includes some hard-hitting interviews at the top. Then Pat and George talk about their movie watching highlights over the past year (controversial stuff tbh), Obama's drone addiction, predictive programming conspiracies, George's high blackjack IQ, whether deer understand terrorism, and some other stuff. This episode is a sprawling saga. It's also the maddest Pat has ever gotten on pod (EMOTIONAL! NOT CLICKBAIT!). Enjoy, Loyalists. 2024 is gonna be a yuuuuge year for all of us.

Steamy. Spicy. Sexy. Yes, it's us, your favourite podders, talking about your favourite streaming platform. This week it's the erotic (not psychosexual) Brazilian thriller 'Burning Betrayal' (2023). Our burning hot talking points include enemies of the pod, a bizarre alternate reality where the Netflix sound is a goat, Pat's outdated television tastes, George's perplexing hatred of Weevil from Yu-Gi-Oh, our new theme song, packing too many twists into a plot, and MUCH MORE. Also, we recorded video, but iMovie (new enemy of the pod) is giving us issues with audio drift. We'll try to fix it - either that or Pat is going to have a Denis Leary 'Rescue Me' style meltdown.

We're on that S tier of Netflix content on this one as we discuss "May December" (2023). We also don't shy away from hot topics like the ill-conceived Santa Swim, a legendary misuse of Netflix funds, whether it takes a high acting IQ to act poorly on purpose, and Pat's stance on Christmas (the answer WON'T surprise you). What if Santa was a woman? What if Taylor Swift was gay? What if Gaylor Swift was Tay? Idk. Pls. Listen. We've been doing this almost for a year, hopefully we're getting better.

Christmas episodes just don't fall out the sky, you know. P & G tackle 'Klaus' (2019), the first animated movie they've done on pod. The boys cover why kids movies should be scary, Tarzan's body count, prolific Russian translators (Goblin's version), and much more. Merry Christmas to all the Santapilled jollycels, and we'll be back for one more episode before (or right after) NYE.

There are two types of people: those who are geekin', and those who are locked in. If you're like us, you're so locked in you're watching basketball streams on an iPhone tipped sideways. It's an auspicious occasion and we're on the classic tip with "Uncut Gems" (2019). Meanwhile, Pat's trying to gatekeep Julia Fox fandom, George trusts everyone, and our punishment in Hell will be 6,000 years of Kissing Booth (we reveal some truly astounding stats). Don't miss out - we'll sell you a Rolex with no papers on the spot.

Sorry Netflix, this one's for us. The boys are joined by two strapping young podcasters from Think Fresh podcast to discuss HBO's x The Weeknd's universally panned show. We unpack the Weeknd's rattail, opine on the failing Rolling Stone's hit piece, search for a new Subway spokesperson, review cometingency plans (that joke will make sense when you hear the ep) and shame Pat for his Pringles box addiction. This one's high brow and lo-fi. We go crazystyle like Tedros in Valentino. Don't even worry about it.

This week the fellas tackle "Escaping Twin Flames" (2023), an unsettling look into a cult run mostly through Facebook and Zoom. They discuss sending coded Eminem messages via short fiction, George's cult pitch, Pat's recent fascination with Borzoi dogs, the insanity of following a dripless cult leader, Pat's cult immunity (he keeps saying "he's different"), and how the moon works. Oh, and Pat's still watching "Home Improvement" and George is still clocking into the sauna factory. Boys will be boys.

Another video episode as the boys cover "Calibre" (2018) - this one was lovingly recorded on Pat's 2010 camera with an extremely sus battery. Now, you may be wondering, why didn't they simply film on Pat's brand new iPhone? Look pal, do you want a free podcast or not? How Original zigs when you expect them to zag. This one is for the lo-fi fiends, the oldheads who think teachers should still be allowed to fail students and that Netflix should still be ad-free.

It's on sight today as the boys record their first video pod! Fresh off a highly exclusive (by which we mean fully open to the general public) theatre screening of "The Killer" (2023), David Fincher's newest film - we delve into toxic sauna traits, toxic subreddit traits, toxic hitman traits. You get the picture. Bask in this toxic cesspool and enjoy, Loyalists. We can't promise delivering video on a weekly basis but this won't be the last time you see our ugly mugs in your home.

Back in our day you had to walk 10 miles uphill in the snow to Blockbuster just to watch bad movies. Kids today have it too damn easy. "Old Dads" (2023) sees Bill Burr yelling at clouds and committing macroagressions as Pat and George discuss the coddling of today's youth, the tensions between pickleball and tennis (it gets political!), and all sorts of spooky subjects. Pat recaps a recent Hinge mishap and tries to figure out why he's so invested in the Prm original "The Summer I Turned Pretty." George narrowly escaped the full-contact haunted house. It's an after dark episode of one of the podcasts of all time.

View Details

The boys tackle "Reptile" (2023) and cover topics such as paying for an unsimulated haunted house, Netflix's next frontier (possibly haunted), Sky Ferreira's sophomore album (Pat still believes it's coming), the ambiguity of stab wounds, and Lacoste's interpolation of Netflix originals. Maybe the real reptile is the podcast we listened to along the way...

View Details

The Harry Podders are back to discuss "Fair Play" (2023), a dare-we-say psychosexual feminist thriller. Anyway we talk about infiltration of the r/redscarepod subreddit by intelligence agencies, the male manipulator guru pipeline (are we in it?), if it's possible to be too thankful, if it's possible to watch too many pizza reviews, and if it's possible to google any movie and not find an "ending explained" article. Type shi. Enjoy responsibly (or not, we're not liable for what you do in the comfort of your own podcast listening dungeon).

Here at How Original Enterprises, we like to ask the important questions. Is Drake lonely? Are Hogwarts students riddled with PTSD? Should you ‘fold yourself like a DVD’ into the Netflix sleeping bag (real quote from the site)? Lesser minds would collapse under the sheer weight of these inquiries. Charlie Brooker also likes to ask big brain questions, like… wot if… yew wuz in space, an anutha bloke fancied yer woife? That’s right, we finish off the twisted “Black Mirror” (2023). Never talk to us about this dumb show again. We can only move forward, heal, and rebuild.

View Details

Wake up Mr. Wes! Uh. Ye. Uh. You heard us say (some bullshit). This may be our wettest (Wes-est?) and wildest episode yet, ya'll. We were truly on one. Maybe even two. Your kings discuss Mr. Baseball's addiction to desecrating Japanese baseball fields with chaw, the Darwinian chaos of Juice Bar, George's unsupervised culinary experiments (do not recreate), brother surveillance at work, unsupervised children and potato cannons, Roald Dahl's twisted takes, and so much more. No laws. No prewritten. Just bars.

View Details

The prodigal boys return against all odds to keep fighting the good fight against Netflix Originals. An invisible war. A holy crusade. No one is safe. This week's target: the latest season of Black Mirror. They also weigh in (finally) about whether vaping over railings is cool, the theory of accelerated Bionicle evolution, the somalier motherland, Pat gives a chilling Elsagate and Iceman report. George drops both a Fred Perry and a Loch Ness monster bar (late game...for the real Loyalists only). They take no crap. They take no prisoners. Tread lightly.

View Details

To the Windfall....to the wall...till the sweat drips down Jesse Plemons' face. Our most contentious episode yet. Time to pick your allegiances, loyalists - this may be a civil war situation. Topics discussed include: David Goggins bars, the dreaded "Monster" loop, hate jerks, Mr. Skin for reptiles, and Pat's heist philosophy (no survivors). Is Plemons a Yeezy demons? Are George and Pat going to recover from this? Is this a good movie or NAW. Tune in to find out, lil' tunechis.

View Details

Water they doing down there?! Pat and George return with a very stressful watch, "The Deepest Breath" (2023). What if a whole movie was an underwater level? Wouldn't that be not super great? The boys talk about the Russian urge to play Counterstrike, Netflix documentaries winning the hearts and minds of parents, Dracula Flow (seriously, look it up), tennis players rocking tank tops, accepting river blindness into your heart, and what would ever compel anyone to free dive. This shit ain't nothing to me, man! This is also the shortest episode ever recorded - Pat has a LOT going on these days, folks, he's so busy.

View Details

Pat and George discuss "Run Rabbit Run" (2023), a movie that may or not give you a serious case of the willies. The lads connect through the magic of Zoom to chop it up about the Tabi swiper, the diabolical horniness of @samstailor, the windiest suburb ever shown onscreen, whether George should get a pet rabbit (the answer is no), whether young Mike should put a rabbit's head into his mouth (also no), and whether nurses giggle at micropenises (up for debate). Also on the table: creepy lil horror movie kids, the virtues of the hard copy, the Jordan B. Peterson legend of Quora, the correct way to take a Jell-O shot, having fun with ultrasound goo, and so much MORE! Don't run from this one, ya'll.

After a long hiatus, the #1 airport enjoyer and road dawg hops back on mic with two thrilling tales. Critics are calling Pat's return to podcasting "unnecessary" and "we thought he was finally gone." You won't find this type of content anywhere else, folks, that's for damn sure.

View Details

Uh oh, Pat trusted George to record a solo pod while he's off traveling! Will he run the pod into the ground? Will he spread dangerous disinformation? Or will he hold it down? (Spoilers: he holds it down). George discusses elevator rizz, round meat, food that slows you down, brunch deals, K-dramas, and MORE! Tune in, lil' tune-chis.

And that's a (snack)wrap on Season 2. We're still a McFlurry of emotions. This was our most unhinged episode yet, so just try and EXTRACT a single grain of enlightenment or wisdom from this. We dare you. Well, if you so choose, we discuss sweaty billboards, the Netflix and Chill AirBNB, Chris Hamson, the male urge to perish in a submarine, the rake as a serious instrument, iconic action hero names, the art of extraction, the most based grade of student, and MORE. We also FINALLY disclose the hazy origins the phrase "Netflix and chill," we make a tier-list for every single movie we've done, and we teach you about Eastern European geography. Just don't fact check us on any of this you losers. Just kidding we'll miss you. Okbyeeeeeee - SOPRANOS CUT TO BLACK.

Doing an episode about a whole TV season is hard - lesser podcasters would crumble. The boys struggle a bit but keep the plot of "Beef" (2023) relatively straight. They also discuss controversy amongst podcasting contemporaries as Bill Simmons' comments about Harry & Meghan circulate online. George describes a Freudian dream that's been plaguing him and speaks to the difficulties of participating in "Woke Book Club." Pat reveals his fascination with the McBarge and Grimace lore (McDonalds, cut us a check). He's also the #1 defender of "The Idol" and when this show becomes a cult classic, you heard it here first. Lots to sink your teeth into. This is the second last episode of szn 2! 우리는 당신의 한국인 부모님입니다. 미국에 집을 사주세요!

Cue Kanye's "Homecoming" cuz we're back in Chi city. Imagine a Swanberg movie but very bad, that's "The Last Summer" (2019). Pat calls in from the road for our first remote episode. The boyz zig-zag between the overly-explained multiple storylines to cover double-bagging groceries (groceries is a code word), KJ Apa's blank slate acting style, scheduling breakups with iPhone reminders, student auteurs, summer jobs, and George's email to PepsiCo pitching a Bubly ad. To quote the ADR'd line in the house party scene: "What a time to be alive, people!"

It's 2014. LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It" is somehow still playing at college parties. Yes, you guessed it, we're talking about the extremely mids movie "When We First Met." We also dive into arousing topics like Pat's apartment as micro Tokyo, time travel is for the gays, human Shrek, evil tattoos, the ideal male spelling of "Patri(c/k/que)", being Banana Republicans, pillow biting qualifications, the DUFF (no, not Hilary [but also Hilary]) and MORE. Tune in. Tune out. We don't care. We were too busy making wings to remember a main character's name.

Netflix movies based on classic novels staring Armie Hammer? Don't mind if we do. The gentlemen sink their teeth into topics like astral projecting into deer and seeing your ancestors, not knowing any hallways, Kanye bars as bear protection, needing a horny guardian, wholesome gothic family dynamics, and how early is too early for oysters. What can we say, the boys are "on their own journeys" on this one. Patrick is Vanderpumped. George hates Rent. We are both Unforgiven. Nobody call us "DN."

We're beyond the edit on this one. Exploring the depths of the sea, which is the sea (and which people drown in). Folks, we almost drowned in this show. Pat and George finish the second half of 'Love is Blind' and touch upon ferry tales, the worst people you know using therapy-speak, the extremely tortured LIB subreddit, people named Shelby and their second sight, Pat's bedroom entry music, and the Coors Light twiiiins. AND MORE! Boss-up, tune-in, and drop-out.

We're here. You're here. Let's talk Netflix shop. This week the lads weigh in on the classic Rachel vs. Monica debate, and they engage in riveting discourse on sunflower seeds, Christ and Satan on the 'gram, attaining nirvana in a yoga class, the male urge to brexit your job and get a monogramed briefcase, what's going on in Julia Fox's head, and MORE! Oh, and we do a shallow dive into the Netflix OG Murder Mystery 2, a movie that seems to be more about kidnapping than murder.

We're so back. Pat and George sit Joe Budden Podcast-style on Pat's couch to drop a classic. The boys talk about getting crowd-worked at the Store and fashion faux pas, heavily armed dispensary workers, LA's dark vibes (Pat is the first to ever say this), a new Kurt Cobain theory, coddling our reality TV stars, George trying to stop listening to 'evil podcasts,' and a bunch of other stuff. Oh, we also discuss Love is Blind szn 4. Remember, the road to Mecca is a winding and dangerous path.

"There's Someone Inside Your House" (2021) is the first movie the boys cover that depicts someone literally dying for their podcast. Pat and George talk about their upcoming trip to LA for Spotify Labs, guesting on Think Fresh pod, strange encounters at arcade bars and dance floor lone wolves, the Texas book depository, heroes who wear the Carhartt to make it vintage, and how the rap game changed forever when rappers discovered 'brain' as a euphemism. Pat has a psychosexual theory on why women like true crime and he also recommends the Netflix series 'Beef' and for listeners to let go of grudges (something he won't do). This is the last episode before the boys become Hollywood big shots and forget their humble beginnings.

"Your Place or Mine" (2023), a bad title and also bad movie - Pat knows how to pick 'em. The lads engage in a rousing intellectual summit about Ashton Kutcher's weird face, Tig Notaro's coffee cup, American Psycho apartments, timezones not existing, bras and blazers, the mysterious career of a certain costume designer, and stress-drinking sparkling water (Pat and George's specialty). Remember, the point of this pod is to have fun, be edgy, and push all the way to the edge, much like a Netflix billboard.

The movie this week is "CAM" (2018) and it's a banger. The boys banter about Dead Internet Theory, sushi etiquette, Balenci demons, esoteric porn searches, Hot Girls Wanted, bisexual lighting, and vaporwave. George reflects on pranks from his wayward youth. Now he's all grown up, chaperoning school dances, going to Roman Baths. Pat is distracted the entire time because he's trying to cop Rick on Grailed. Take a seat in the cuck chair, kick back, and press play.

This is the end… my only friend. Put this episode on as you lay in bed and have war flashbacks. Pat and George reflect on their first season and their behaviour throughout, addressing the question: why do you even need seasons? They talk Spotify Lab sessions, New York Times micro-aggressions against podcasters, finding God, suffering from success, MILF Manor's crimes against humanity, and the physical toll The Kissing Booth takes upon a viewer. Lots of special segments this episode, but KB3 talk begins in earnest at (1:06:46). We'll be back soon, folks.

The boys are Baum-Back! They're here to talk "Marriage Story" (2019) and do a coconut Lacroix case race. The Baumboys get into topics such as murder in your dreams, psychopath exams, copping your first Yeezys in 2023, Dan Flashes shirts, the lonely Molotover freeing his mind at night, the teen waterboarding epidemic, and some other stuff about the movie or whatever. They're calling us the new Siskel & Ebert on r/podcasting. Don't look it up to verify, though, just trust us.

Quoth the podcaster: nevermore! (Pat and George DO NOT condone you watching this movie, and are not responsible for adverse effects if you do.). The fellas riff on Professor (Dr.?) Garlick, Edgar Allen Poe's cause of death and disturbing choice of drink, Netflix Originals starting domestic disputes, dark weed loops, Wakanda tax evasion, snow denial, and lots more. As always, we keep it raw and uncut...for your listening pleasure. Don't at us.

This movie is extremely cringe, folks. Buckle up. Pat and George regret that they watched ‘You People’ (2023) but they did it for you people. Discussion topics: CGI smooches, podcaster representation, the stress of being the funny friend, urologists, lady Santa Claus, race relations, Super Bowl Gatorade, and other stuff. This is our comeback episode. Big Netflix can’t keep us down.

"Chaos was the law of nature; order was the dream of man." Pat and George had big plans for their first guest episode, but you guys only get to hear part of it. Listen to Pat's disclaimer at top of show to find out why some of this audio is a lost tape. The trio chop it up about "To All the Boys I Loved Before" (2018) and try to figure whether this movie is, or isn't, like the beloved "Booth" series. They also discuss Vancouver riots, Malcolm Gladwell, what's the DEAL with the Hardy Boys, White Claw Surges, being deplatformed from Netflix, and a whole bunch of other nonsense. Happy Valentine's day, listeners. Play this one for your significant other and you'll look smart by comparison.

All Pat wants to do is watch movies on Tubi, but he made a promise to the loyalists, so here we are again. George discusses questionable tasting notes for wine, karaoke deep-cuts, and confessing to doctors he injured himself on a stripper pole. Pat talks gun ranges, sending financial aid to Ukraine in return for Gucci drip, and being the bad boy of Apex mountain. The boys convened on a Monday night to banter about “Win It All” (2017) - they get into all the granular details and go on tangents about being Joe Swanberg stans, life-ruining gambling, Jake Johnson’s ever-evolving beard, duffel bags full of money, and the virtues of landscaping. We don’t gamble, but…. Who you guys got for the Super Bowl?? Seriously tho.

Pat and George were born in the Booth… moulded by it. The boys are at the midway point of the season and getting a bit loopy as they cover “The Kissing Booth: Part 2.” In the words of Tucker Carlson: “What is going on here?” The hosts talk about finessing the algo, the Beedie School of Business, toxic classrooms, airplane sex, driving the Seabus with no formal training, is it possible to have rizz on Letterboxd, the influence of pods on young minds, and many other highbrow topics. This is our longest episode. Deal with it.

This is our most chaotic episode yet - it just goes. George reads the wrong New Yorker article to prep for the show and drinks four (4) White Claws during the recording. Pat is geeked on Monster energy and has a Tucker Carlson-style meltdown about the Letterboxd reaction to ‘Blonde.’ The boys talk about changes in the Netflix C-suite, shady Airbnb hosts, incel origin stories, Letterboxd wellness checks, Kanye bars, and a lot more. Oh, and they also watched “Love in the Villa” (2022), a bad movie Pat naively thought would take only 15 minutes to break down. We leave you with this question to mull over: do podcasters go to heaven?

It’s Pat and George versus everybody - they address some fan criticisms and rail against the bizarre, ideology-driven limitations of Chat GPT. ‘Triple Frontier’ (2019) is on the agenda this week, and the boys discuss sad Affleck, last heists, grocery store meltdowns, money being bad, and much more. Enjoy this podcast while you can before human podcasters are hunted down and exterminated by the AI machines.

Happy New Year's, Netflix fanatics! The boys recap their controversial NYE experiences - George pressured his friends into smoking cigarettes, Pat indulged in sardines on toast. They discuss which country has the 'best' Netflix (if such a dubious distinction can be measured) and receive a gentle warning from their manager, Garth. Then Pat and George get into the new Knives Out. They break down cozy mysteries, Covid onscreen, the neolib Rian Johnson and his Twitter, and why Dave Bautista's character should have been way more problematic. Remember, folks - it's a new year and there's never a bad time to read the 48 Laws of Power. LFG, baybeee.

Take a trip to Naples with the boys for 2021’s “The Hand of God.” That’s right, they actually picked a good movie, folks - thank em. Pat and George talk magical realism, good ol’ Italy, nipples, eating burrata cheese with your bare hands, and much more. Follow @howoriginalpodcast and send email to howoriginalpod@gmail.com.

Call us Avicii cuz we fixed the levels. You can play this one on headphones, in the whip, even at a house party. The movie this week is 2021’s erotic thriller “Deadly Illusions." The boys discuss plot twists, going insane while writing, lingerie shopping, indoor cigars, and more. Plus, Pat goes on a rant about Netflix etiquette and barely uses his favourite word (‘psychosexual’), and George says he loves songs with ‘sticky beats.’ Follow @howoriginalpodcast and send email to howoriginalpod@gmail.com.

This is the pilot episode of How Original. The movie this week is 2018’s classic romcom “The Kissing Booth” and it called for a marathon recording session. Crack a White Claw and black out in the booth with the boys. Pat and George discuss their vaporwave theme song, Netflix’s low standards, male manipulators, Jacob Elordi’s height, and more. They also learn Anchor has a 30 minute recording limit for no apparent reason. Is Big Netflix suppressing their message? Will they be deplatformed?
