This Week On Couch Soup
A weekly recap of articles, videos, podcasts, and more.
Pokémon GO Is Celebrating Its 10th Anniversary With a Bang
Ah, 2016: our first foray into reality TV stars as presidents, Hamilton and Stranger Things premiered, the mannequin challenge was the first TikTok trend before TikTok, and Pokémon GO entered the chat, then promptly took over the chat. Everyone was catching them all… all the time, including while driving (not ideal). Now, to mark the 10-year anniversary, there is a special in-game event from the 4th to the 6th of July. Wanna see what’s included? Great, Tom breaks it down for you for easy reference. Happy Catching!
We Need To Talk About That Ending | House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2
Listen. I don’t want to say Lily and I are magic. But I do want to say that we needed something to happen in episode 2… that happened. They did it. And we are so thrilled!! Emma D’Arcy needs all the accolades for this episode, and Lily and Michelle explain the acting school that took place. Are you watching season 3? Is it bringing us back around to the series after an awful season 2? Join the discussion, and watch the conversation unfold over our love of dragons, death, and George R.R. Martin. We didn’t say it wouldn’t be weird.
TIP - Oh Hey! Us again. Another friendly reminder.

Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 3 & 4: A Slump
Boob World is a thing, so you can continue your day with that knowledge of the Rick and Morty-verse. Do Rick and Morty get to go? One can only hope the answer is yes. Between that and a drunken Rick episode, Iain feels like we’re in a slump on season 9. Are you tagging along and thinking along the lines of Iain? That’s your first warning sign that you may need to get checked. Anywho, do episodes 3 & 4 give you warm fuzzies, or are you just looking forward to episodes 5 & 6? Dive in and let us know!
Does Tuner Hit All The Right Notes?
As if a piano tuner doesn’t sound like a cool enough job, add in crime boss and expert thief, and we have the best bad boy origin story. Or do we? Is that even the route this goes down? Iain didn’t have this movie high on his list for 2026, but after seeing it, his flabbers were gasted, and he’s ready to throw it into a Hall of Fame. With Duston Hoffman as the father figure, only badassery can commence, right? Now that you’re this far in the nonsense, join Iain in discussing the depth of the auditory experience in this banger.
