I'll probably check out Roadrunner, even if just to see how deceptive the use of Bourdain's programatically created voice 'recordings' are.

Watched Girl in the Picture tonight. Oh man myself and wife were glad when it was over. Great TV but what a horrible story, heartbreaking, disturbing, sick to your stomach watching it.

I just watched Viceroy's House, about the partition of India. It was well worth watching but much too condensed for the story. I was left wishing I knew more about the whole history of the situation to know whether it was a sufficient portrayal of events.

Stranger Things season 4 is good, I'm sure it's been mentioned previous 😅

EdensTempleX

If anyone likes music documentaries, The Devil at the Crossroads is excellent, it's about an old blues guy named Robert Johnson

EdensTempleX

Haven't seen it yet but the new documentary ''How to Build a Sex Room'' is meant to be great also!

Dave0301

Watched Shot Caller last night. Standard enough prison trope but well put together and a decent cast. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is excellent. A bit gritty and violent in places, but if you are into prison/gang movies then it is a good watch.

Sheri Moon Zombie as one of the leads...I wonder how she got that job....it definitely isn't through her acting talent...

I watched this with great expectation but it is no different to any other US home improvement show. Got bored half way through and turned it off.

She's been in everything Rob Zombie has made, and rarely gets past "adequate" in performance terms. (But then similar things can be said about Zombie's films, since he's never really fulfilled the potential his first couple of films hinted at...)

Looks like Netflix lost another 1 million subscriptions in the last 3 months - though was apparently less than the 2 million they had forecast, so ... success?

They gotta stop making all that sub-CW shíte to bolster up their TV catalogue (unless they're the one avenue that is making them money).

Agent Coulson

Well it didn't effect there stock price anyway it was up today after there earnings call yesterday.

There is some talk that Netflix management will look to sell in the next couple of years to Microsoft.
