It's a strama. It's a streaming drama. It's a strama, and you must watch it. Those things do very well on that Netflix, Chrissy. I'll be binging.

Watchmen is really probably one of the first...

0

226.46 - 238.697 Bryan Green

I know it's not like comic book material, but like in that same vein, Watchmen was one of the first, besides the original Batman movies and the Superman movies, it's something that got me very interested in like the graphic novel.

0

251.654 - 252.275 Unknown

Oh, that's right.

0

252.355 - 276.252 Bryan Green

Remember? Everyone was wearing those. I was victim to that, too. I think I wore a button around for a while. But just such a beautiful young lady and such a great part in The Watchmen. It's such a complicated and layered movie and a very long one at that, nonetheless. And then have watched her in so many other comedic roles that she's taken on. Sitcoms and television shows. Children's Hospital.

0

276.272 - 279.857 Bryan Green

I think she was in like 40 episodes already. Have you ever watched Children's Hospital?

0

279.917 - 282.341 Unknown

I didn't watch it, but I saw that that was on Adult Swim.

282.521 - 300.547 Bryan Green

It was so good. That show was so good. It was on for a long time, I think. It was on for a very long time on Adult Swim. And if I'm not mistaken, another one of our guests, Paul Scheer, was in Children's Hospital also. I think so. I think I might be right about that. Okay, Malin Ackerman. We're going to put a link to our brand new Netflix series.

300.867 - 319.461 Bryan Green

We wish that you would go watch it because these people don't come here for their health. They come here because they love Brian and Chrissy. Then secondarily, they're promoting something. And today we're promoting the Netflix show, The Hunting Wives. So go watch it. Click on the link. Watch it on your own Netflix subscription. If you need my login, let me know and I'll send it to you. And then.

319.441 - 320.483 Unknown

They're cracking down on that.

320.644 - 340.091 Bryan Green

They are cracking down on that. We know that here in this family because we have a few stragglers who were out there in the wind using our Netflix account. We didn't know that until they said, did you change your password? And I said, are you still using my Netflix account? Yes. But they couldn't get in even using our password. It said too many people are logged in from different locations.
