How We Seeez It is a review podcast all about how we see it. Steve and Noah talk movies, TV shows, and pair each episode with original cocktails inspired by the topic of the week. We mostly cover film and television, but we are always open to diving into whatever else catches our interest.
Steve is more of the film guy, while Noah leans more toward action, which makes for fun conversations and different takes on what we watch. Come listen as we break things down, share our opinions, and see where we agree, where we don’t, and what makes each movie or show worth talking about.

How We Seeez It! Episode 320, Pluribus (2025) Season 1
“Because I’m smart enough to know you don’t ask a drug dealer to describe their heroin.” — Carol.
Vince Gilligan’s latest sci-fi, dystopian dark comedy series on Apple TV stars Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka. This series will have some people yelling praise from the rooftops, while others lament its slow and, to them, boring pace. No matter what side you come down on, we can all agree that Pluribus is thought-provoking.
So, join us for the discussion, and don’t forget about our cocktails for this episode — there should be some good ones.

How We Seeez It! Episode 319, Snatch (2001)
“You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.” – Bullet Tooth Tony. Guy Ritchie’s fun, high-paced, highly rewatchable look at a jewel heist gone wrong. Throw in an unpredictable underground boxing match and plenty of indecipherable speech. The unique style of this movie will have you watching it again, or maybe it is just Brad Pitt’s portrayal of Mickey. So, join us for the discussion, and don’t forget about our cocktails for this episode. There should be some good ones.

How We Seeez It! Episode 318, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
“Three weeks ago, all I thought about was... well I didn't actually think about anything.”– Buffy. From the mind of Joss Whedon.

So, join us for the discussion and don’t forget about our cocktails for this episode. There should be some good ones.
