I’ve watched the first two episodes, and while I’m staying with it, I’m still waiting for the show to take off.In this spoiler-free episode of The Jeff Adams Show, I talk about why I’ll watch almost anything these two actors do, my first impression of Brothers, and why its weekly release schedule works for me.

All right, Pedro, are we ready? Ready to do this? All right, we're on. Well, I can tell you one thing about two actors that I've known for a very long time. Not known, I've known them, but everybody kind of knows who these actors are. Woody Harrison and Matthew McConaughey. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. That's a bad Matthew McConaughey. Step into a Lincoln Town car. But anyways, nevertheless, bad impersonation. But these two actors could read a phone bill and I'd probably end up watching it. You know, so many good memories of these two actors, Woody Harrison and Matthew McConaughey. More for Woody Harrison because he just, it's part of my childhood. He was on Cheers when you used to watch Cheers, a bartender. And just following him through his movie journey and Matthew McConaughey as well. Well, they're on a new series on Apple Plus called Brothers. That's right, Brothers. And I saw a preview for it. I was like, oh, wow, okay. This is before it was released. And it released last Wednesday. And they released two episodes with it. And the series is kind of like a... How can I point this in the right direction? It is kind of like a... They're playing themselves, but kind of like in an alternate universe kind of a thing. But not really in the alternate universe, but it's here on Earth, obviously. But it's kind of like Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Larry David played himself, but they're playing like, there's just a different story to it, different pacing. But nevertheless, watched the first episode, and I was like, okay, all right. So turned off the TV, and I realized they released a second episode episode the same day which by the way this releases every Wednesday and I think they did eight episodes of this thing so uh if you're interested in watching it releases on Wednesdays on Apple Plus but I watched the second episode and slowly I watched it I'm not going to give away any spoiler alerts on this thing but I was like okay I'll probably end up watching this all the way through I think it's okay so far there's been nothing mind-blowing about it and which brings me to this point it's like it's sad I don't want to say it's sad but it's sad that these actors these great very talented actors are they have to go to tv because there's nothing going on in Hollywood hardly at all and it's not bad I mean it's produced really well I think the idea is great. The concept behind it is fantastic. And the cool thing about it is they're shooting in Matthew McConaughey's hometown, Austin, Texas. So they're shooting in Texas outside of California, which most shows now are typically shot out there. But most Apple Plus shows that I've seen have stayed in California, like San Francisco and things of that nature and Los Angeles. They're shot there, but Outside of that, and I don't know if Ted Lasso is officially shot in England. I think it is, but they might do a lot of stuff in-house. I have no idea. I should have researched that before I ran my mouth about it. But I think it's worth the watch if you're into binge-watching shows. Obviously, you can't binge-watch this one yet, but if you're watching this and it's later down the line, you can definitely binge-watch it. But yeah, I tend to... gravitate towards these series when they're coming out and they're released weekly. I like that because I can decide then and there if I like it or not and if I want to carry on. But sometimes if I know a series is already there, like there's 12 episodes or 8 episodes, I'm like, man, this is kind of overwhelming. I don't know if I want to watch this all the way through. To each his own. But I enjoy just watching one episode at a time per week. I think that's my my intention span not unless if it's really really good i can really binge watch some shows for sure but if it's okay and i'm like uh i i'll have to do it once a week that's why i like the once a week schedule but it's worth the watch brothers apple plus woody harrison matthew mcconaughey uh every wednesday new release eight episodes it's worth it it's worth the watch you should check it out And support it. Support these great actors. All right, all right, all right. Pedro, get us out of here.
