Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.

Welcome to Season 7!

As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?”

This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years.

This week, Paul shot for the moon in his final choice for the season. A film he believes is one of the most important of the 21st century, Ari Aster’s Eddington (2025).

A period piece about the era of Covid lockdown, this is a razor-sharp satire with a bit of vulgar Marxist analysis. The film courageously tackles all of the hypocrisies, mundanities, ugliness, ignorance, and schizophrenic vibes of our current social-mediated culture(s).

This Episode’s Focus: Eddington (2025)
Host’s Choice: Paul Pakler
Stream on: Streaming on HBO Max. Rent on all the other usual suspects
Corey’s Recipe Recommendations for This Episode: Pasta with capers and anchovies and New Mexico-inspired recipes
