    This week on episode #203 of New Release … newlysaids Ashley and Drew sign up for a high-risk podcast assignment. Our mission, should you choose to listen, is to review the remake of the spy romance that spawned the sexiest, most scorching supercouple of the early aughts. In 2005, Brangelina was born. In present day, Donald Glover & Maya Erskine take over as the titular Mr. and Mrs. Smith. We discuss how this pairing compares and contrasts with the original and whether their chemistry even matters much to our enjoyment of the show.

    This week on episode #202 of New Release … curmudgeons Ashley and Drew join Larry David as he screams his futile screams into the dying light of Hollywood. Farewell, fuckers. Curb Your Enthusiasm is back for one final round of your petty everyday frustrations taken to the extreme. And then some. We discuss whether we find Larry's misanthropy cathartic, annoying, or a big fat dose of BOTH. Whether you like it or not, this dude's acerbic world view has permeated pop culture for over 30 years and this is the end of … something. Pay your respects by searching ‘New Release' on Spotify or Apple and hitting subscribe. Next week we'll circle back to Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Prime.
