What The Decider Team Streamed This Week

Every day, we recommend plenty of great shows and movies that you can stream, but what have the members of the Decider enjoyed in the last week? We’d like to share that with you, too — and tell you where to stream them, of course.

The Eagles are arguably the most hated band in the history of rock music. (Just ask Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski.) Watching the first half of this awesome 2013 documentary, which is new on Netflix this week, you’ll wonder how anyone could have ever come to despise the likes of Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Joe Walsh, the first two of whom got their start playing gigs with Linda Ronstadt. By the time you get to the second half, though, you’ll know darn well why the Eagles deserve their reputation. Regardless, it’s a fascinating historical document of the band with the best-selling album of all-time.—Mark Graham

8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

In addition to my usual Gilmore Girls and House Hunters streaming diet, I also caught 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown on YouTube. 8 out of 10 Cats is a zany British comedy panel show and Countdown is one of the most popular game shows in the UK. Some crazy person in England put them together and it’s absolutely hilarious. I couldn’t help thinking that someone at BBC American or IFC should transplant the idea over here — and I can’t wait for Jon Richardson to crossover and become a big American comedy star.—Meghan O’Keefe

Californication

I started watching Californication, which is basically Showtime’s answer to Entourage, except it’s only one dude and he’s not nearly as famous as Vinny Chase. Hank Moody (David Duchovny) is a struggling writer who’s battling dueling sex and alcohol addictions while trying to get his career back on track. It’s dark and sexy, but Moody’s sarcasm keeps it light enough to binge. Plus, California is nice to watch on the screen this time of year when Northeast weather has its annual identity crisis. —Olivia Armstrong

It’s safe to say that if it wasn’t for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the cliche movie poster business wouldn’t be in business. It took 23 years for me to watch this movie and I still don’t get the hype. I learned that the reason why many girls idolize this film is because it delivers the very unrealistic, yet glamorous message: A great looking guy will fall in love and chase down a girl despite her absolute craziness … if she is mysterious and beautiful. This doesn’t happen in reality. In real life, if a girl was married to some old man, changed her name and crawled through windows, we would call her Amanda Bynes. I am aware it is just a movie, however knowing how iconic the movie is before watching it, lead me to have overly critical thoughts. Even though I fell asleep half-way into the movie, I can see why people would say it’s “good”. #noshadethrown—Jaclyn Kessel

Star Trek: “The Menagerie Part 1”

“The Menagerie Part 1” and “The Menagerie Part 2” aired in November 1966, during Star Trek‘s first season. The episodes represented a reworked take on the original and unaired (until the ’80s) pilot episode of the series, “The Cage,” which had featured a starship Enterprise helmed by a captain named Pike—not Kirk. At its heart “The Menagerie” is classic Star Trek, filled with thoughtful storytelling, amazing-for-its-time effects, and a doozy of a twist ending.—Conrad Doucette
