Here's our weekly notifier on what to watch online. This week, we get to watch "The Defenders" on Netflix. We get eight of episodes of some likable Marvel heroes and that Iron Fist guy (because who likes Iron Fist?).

Crackle also has some fun stuff for the weekend, like "Shaun of the Dead." How do we explain this film? It's awesome. Watch it. And watch it for free on Crackle in August, dagnabit!
