B.J. Novak's 'Vengeance' hits theaters, Amazon's 'Paper Girls' delivers and 'Nope' gets a big Yup

We spend the first chunk of this episode weighing in (spoiler free!) on Jordan Peele's spin on the flying saucer genre, Nope, which was filled to bursting with big concepts, memorable images, and over-the-top set pieces that deserve to be seen on the biggest screen you can find.

We also offer up a preview of Vengeance, a fictional riff on the true-crime podcast genre that was written and directed by B.J. Novak who many will likely know better as Ryan from The Office, as well as a look at Paper Girls, a soft sci-fi time travel series premiering on Amazon Prime that's adapted from a comic by the absurdly prolific writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Runaways, Saga).

Make sure you're subscribed to Streamed & Screened (wherever you get your podcasts!) so as to not miss our next bonus episode which rounds up the most exciting movies of the dozens that dropped trailers this past weekend.
