Tubi may not have the same name recognition as Netflix or Hulu, but the streamer continues to offer original content, with several recent programs targeting younger viewers.

That's the case with "Kissing Is the Easy Part," an adaptation of a romance novel by Christine Duann. The film stars Paris Berelc and Asher Angel, who both chat with co-host Bruce Miller about the film.

Before that, Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz chat about the Winter Olympics, which are in full swing, as well as their interactions with Olympians over the years.

Miller also talks about the new miniseries "Love Story," the FX/Hulu program from Ryan Murphy that looks at the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

And finally, Lipshetz not only names off all of the "Bridgerton" characters A through H, but offers his thoughts on the latest season, which recently dropped the first half of season 4 on Netflix with the second half to come at the end of February. This season takes a Cinderella story approach with Benedict and his love interest.

"Melania" is less traditional documentary and more brand rollout, much like what you'd get at a fashion show.

While the movie takes a guarded approach and doesn't get too deep into First Lady Melania Trump's backstory, there is still something to be learned.

Like the current state of politics, the film has been polarizing. Reviews from traditional film critics have largely been negative, but moviegoers have praised the film. As of this podcast, "Melania" scores 8% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but 99% and "Verified Hot" from the audience.

After the co-hosts discuss the documentary, they shift over to the latest version of "Dracula," this time coming from director Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita," "Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"). Bruce Miller catches up with Besson as well as stars Caleb Landry Jones (Dracula) and Zoe Bleu (Elisabeta/Mina Murray).

What lengths will you go to maintain good looks?

That's central to the plot of Ryan Murphy's new series "The Beauty" on FX and Hulu. The body horror series looks at how a treatment known as "the Beauty" is spreading as a sexually transmitted disease with unintended consequences.

In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller has a pair of interviews with multiple stars of "The Beauty." First, he speaks with Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, and then he catches up with Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall.

Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then dive into the new "Game of Thrones" spinoff series, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," which takes a different approach from the original and first spinoff, "House of the Dragon."

And when it comes to bringing back classics, "The Muppet Show" is coming back, as well as a fourth season of "Ted Lasso."

Finally, we talk about the struggles this season for "Saturday Night Live."
