You're on The Hits, Jono and Ben. She's back on The Hits. It's great to have her back and it's great to have her back to tell us what we need to watch from the day show on The Hits. Megan Puppers, good morning. Hello. Nice to have you back here. Now, we did this before you went away on maternity leave, but what to watch with Megan and since then I haven't known what to watch. I'm here for you. Staring at a black computer screen and a TV screen for months. Do you know what, it's actually been quite hard to watch anything and sit down with two kids. Yeah, so are you still. You guys both know this.

Yeah, we're kind of through the other side now. You watch what they want to watch. That's the thing. Do you know there's a new Teletubbies? I heard that. I do. Has it started? It's kicked off already.

Yeah. Is it the same as the OG? Is it better? Worse? No, I mean, it is better, but it's still the same old costumes. It's still Tinky Winky, Ditsy. How wild. It didn't make sense on any level.

The Teletubbies. Kids loved it, yeah. My husband's like, do you know this is like dystopian future? Like they live underground. There's a voice box that tells them what to do. I was like, I think you're thinking too much about this. Okay. Like alien dystopian future.

Now, I must admit, I've been deep on your Instagram here, this. Okay. Like alien dystopian future. Now, I must admit, I've been deep on your Instagram here, Megan. Okay. Can I just show you the photo of this beautiful casserole you made? Oh, what is that? That's like beef strong enough, but I made it with mince so that

my children would eat it. Is it potato? Pom-poms on top. You put potato pom-poms on top of that? Put pom-poms on top of any casserole and the kids are into it. That's a good idea. And it must be cut little portions with the pom-poms. Yeah.

That's a great idea. It's all spaced out. Hey, not just what to watch. Hey, better living, everyone. What to cook. Welcome to the hits. Look at us. Look at us away.

Who would have thought? Coming up, what melatonin's best for your sleep schedule? I was digging it. I'm into it. I like it. All right, so what are we watching this week? All right, so this is a movie that has just come out on Netflix. We have a ghost.

We have a ghost. Okay. No, I'm serious, Kevin. Caught him on camera. Oh, we got to show mom. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, I saw that pop up, but I haven't watched it yet. It's the cop from Stranger Things, David Harbour.

Do you know he's married to Lily Allen? Yes. We did talk to him, yeah. He's a hard case. They got married in Vegas or something, right? They did, yeah, yeah. So, also got Jennifer Coolidge in it, randomly, in the best role for her.

But this movie, don't look it up on Rotten Tomatoes, it doesn't have a very good rating, but I found it entertaining. It's a good one to watch and it's funny and it's not too serious. But basically this house, Anthony Mackie, who you know is the Falcon, the Avengers, him and his

family move into this house that has a ghost. And then they aren't too scared by him. David Harbour is the ghost and they try and make money off him by doing YouTube videos and getting hits. Yeah, great. It's a cute little comedy.

Don't take it too seriously, but I enjoyed it. I like it. I'm the guy with my pale skin. I'm the ghost of the hits. Yeah, we haven't made any money off you. That's the downside. Sometimes the Rotten Tomatoes ones,

the worse the ranking, the better I love the movie. Sometimes you just want to put something on and not think too hard about it and just enjoy it. Yeah, I mean, it's not going to win any awards, but it's still a good movie. All right, what else? One that did win awards, The Beer.

This is your brother's house. I was running it fine without you. Why didn't you leave it to you then? So this is on Disney+. This has got 100 on rotten tomatoes and the main guy the chef in this uh tv show has just won a bunch of awards just won a sag award a day or two ago um and he is in shameless um what's his name jeremy allen he's one of the kids from right yeah yeah so he is running he gets to take over um his brother's restaurant which is the

scungy little joint and he is quite a fancy, acclaimed chef. And it's supposed to be a comedy. It's not really. I didn't find myself laughing, but just going into the characters, the character development on the show is really good. It's always good when you go in to watch a comedy and you end up going,

but the character development was exceptional. The characters were fully developed. It's like there's drug use. It's like, you know, this guy's in a dark place. Maybe it's a dark comedy, but I definitely didn't laugh. It's not the one where they're eating people, wait. No. No, okay, I thought maybe.

Unless I missed a really good one. That's where the comedy is. Is that the menu? Maybe that's called the menu at the moment or something. What is that on? Oh, yeah. I feel like we need to. Someone was telling me that the other day,

and that was like they go to a restaurant, and then it's like, but the people are. They're the meals. That's the meals. Well, you're getting served up that. So that's all I know. So I was like, well, maybe this is what it is. Is that a comedy?

I don't know. That's more of a horror thriller, according to the internet right now. Yeah. So this is called The Beer. And it's really good. I would lock that in. Lock The Beer in.

Yeah, there's another movie, isn't it? The Cocaine Beer. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's based on a true story in the 80s where a beer ate some cocaine and went on a rampage. You don't want a beer on a cocaine rampage. Especially three days later when the poor beer's coming back down. He's like, oh, things aren't good, guys.

It's wild stuff. I'd rather a beer that's sulking on the come down low. Sitting there with his head lying in the fetal position. What have I done? Never again. He had a hibernation for nine months. Oh, Megan, it's good to have you back. What to Watch with Megan.

We'll be back again next week.
