What We Stream
A long time ago in New York City, two entry-level ad men got fired; now we meet up for weekly therapy sessions to talk about streaming. We talk movie and TV shows; sometimes pop culture, video games, and travel. It’s like The Odd Couple, for all you AARP-age fans. It’s like Clerks, for all you accidental Gen X single dads. New episodes drop every Thursday. Please support the pod on https://www.buymeacoffee.com/whatwestream Stay engaged and check us out on TT and IG: @whatwestream Presented by the best millennial ad men in the world: Raf and Mike, From NYC to Hawaii
Episodes
Believe it or not, Our Flag Means Death tops the charts as the most-watched streaming show of all time — and we’re diving into how a queer pirate comedy took the world by storm. From fandom power to storytelling charm, we unpack what made it a global success. Then, we return to Mike’s legendary college screenplay for part two of our dramatic read-through, where the twists get twistier and the dialogue somehow gets even more... Mike...
In this packed episode, we gives our thoughts on Andor Season 2 — what worked, what surprised us, and what it means for the future of Star Wars TV. Then, we react to the brand-new Superman (2025) trailer and break down all the big reveals, Easter eggs, and DCU implications. Finally, we bring back a hilarious segment: a dramatic reading of the "Greatest College Script of All Time," written by none other than our co-host M...
On this May the Fourth, we dive deep into the galaxy of STAR WARS—not to rank lightsaber duels or debate Jedi lore, but to ask a more deranged and profound question: How do you turn brain rot into cinema? From the bloated spectacle of franchise fatigue to the unexpected prestige of Andor, we explore how one of the world’s most memed, merchandised, and overextended IPs somehow produced a work of real political drama, human depth, an...
We are back! In this jam-packed episode, your favorite hosts dive deep into the wild world of pop culture with hot takes, bold predictions, and nostalgic throwbacks. We kick things off with the DCU’s Superman and updates on The Batman, then shift gears to discuss SNL’s latest sketch hits with Jack Black.
Things get animated as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of A Goofy Movie, explore the underrated classic Atlantis: The Lost Empir...
We're back to give our final thoughts on the (short-lived) Acolyte show—a few months after its final episode. We also get excited about WWE and the Paul-Tyson.
This episode was recorded before the Tyson-Paul fight so we didn't know how it had ended at the time of this recording.
Buckle up for an episode where the titanic terror of Tokyo, Godzilla, takes on a galaxy far, far away in a clash of cinematic titans! This week, we dive deep into the chaotic brilliance of Godzilla Minus One—because what's a monster movie without a little urban renewal? Then, we swing lightsabers and unravel mysteries with The Acolyte, a series that promised more intrigue than it delivered (for now). Will Godzilla learn the way...
We're talking about Scott Pilgrim Takes Off right before Thxgiving break. #scottpilgrim #netflix #thanksgiving

This week, we crack open the vault and roast Raf’s very first script — a short film masterpiece (or disasterpiece?) titled “Bomba 69.” It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly what you'd expect from a film student with too much ambition and not enough shame. Join us for a live read full of laughs, cringe, and chaotic nostalgia.
