| 1/13/26 | Why Did You Watch Prince of Darkness episode 24 part 1 | Cathy reminds David about another John Carpenter classic he saw a long time ago and clearly forgot how good it was. By singing. That's right: another musical episode for no reason at all. | 1h 32m 26s | ||||||
| 9/21/25 | Why Did You Watch Prometheus episode 23 part 2 | Cathy and David go off piste this episode and talk about a film they've both seen and have ranted about together on so many occasions it's about time they recorded it for posterity.

| 2/23/25 | Why did you watch Akira episode 21 part 2 | AKIRA! TETSUO! Cathy is pitching a critically acclaimed film this time! She's letting her Otaku flag fly and trying to talk David into getting in to anime. If Akira doesn't do it, nothing will.

| 7/20/24 | Why did you watch Pet Sematary episode 19 part 2 | Sometimes... dead is better. Cathy is still in a bad mood and taking it out on David by torturing him with his greatest pet peeve: people making stupid decisions in movies. Surprise appearance from Orville the duck, and see if you can spot the point when Cathy thought David said something incredibly rude. Answers on a postcard! Or better yet, on our social media: 'WhydidIwatch' on Twitter (X) and Facebook. | 1h 31m 01s | ||||||

| 4/9/24 | Why did you watch Candyman episode 18 part 2 | Who can make a podcast, sprinkle it with laughs, cover it in detail and split it into halves? The Candy Man! Oh, Dave and Cath can... Cathy has ulterior motives this episode. And several notes: We talk a lot about racism in this episode. If you're not in the mood to listen to two white academics complain about racism then maybe give it a miss. If you'd like to learn more about excited delirium, or the Reasonable Man defence (which Cathy confusingly calls the man on the bus defence), we recommend the following podcasts: Things Fell Apart - The Most Mysterious Deaths (S2e1) More Perfect - Mr. Graham and the Reasonable Man Music is 'Helen's Theme', performed by Michael Riesman and The Western Wind, written by Philip Glass. | 1h 46m 13s | ||||||

| 2/4/24 | Why Did You Watch Roadhouse part 2 | The thrilling conclusion of our origin stories! Cathy officially pitches a movie to David that inspired the podcast in the first place.

| 2/4/24 | Why Did You Watch Roadhouse part 1 | Origin stories! Cathy officially pitches a movie to David that inspired the podcast in the first place. It goes about as well as it did the first time... Note: Cathy would like to make it clear that when she describes what women want in films, she is talking from the point of view of producers, and not from her own point of view. Which should be obvious given her taste in films... | 1h 37m 55s | ||||||
| 9/3/23 | Why did you watch a Nightmare on Elm Street episode 16 part 2 | Welcome to the conclusion of our impromptu musical episode where David and I inexplicably sing our way through this 80s classic horror. While David is not convinced by the film, he seems delighted with Cathy's singing. *Trigger warning* There is some talk of child abuse in this episode which we've tried to be as sensitive as possible about but if you're not up for that then maybe give this one a miss. Also the singing is pretty dreadful too. | 1h 20m 33s | ||||||
