Pixels is one of the better Adam Sandler movies. Fun if you get the 80's references.

Same, though I thought the overall drama and tension of what it's like to work in a heated/busy kitchen was spot on [having worked in a few in my younger days, I know it can be even more tense and dramatic than portrayed here!] I was left disappointed by a few things, not just the ending.

Finally got around to watching "Don't Look Up". I enjoyed it, absolutely hit the nail on the head with how western society has gone. We could all expect Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos leading the mission to save the world. Great cast but its utterly forgettable, way too long getting to the predictable ending, you couldn't pay me enough to watch it again. I'd give it a 5.5/10

Love life is well worth a watch I watched it on iplayer.

There is also a season 2 with a different main character.

I don't think so. I watched it "online".

Just a heads up though Anna Kendrick only pops up in a few episodes in season 2 the lead is William Jackson Harper (who will always be Chidi in the good place to me!)

The Bubble (2022)– Judd Apatow’s timely comedy follows a group of actors and actresses stuck inside a pandemic bubble at a hotel attempting to complete a sequel to an action franchise film about flying dinosaurs.

Apollo 10 1/2 (2022): A Space Age Childhood – Inspired by Linklater’s childhood in Houston, TX, the film is set against the backdrop of the 1969 Apollo mission and tells the story of the first moon landing from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid’s perspective, living near NASA but mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It’s ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid’s fantasy about being plucked from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.

Get Organized with The Home Edit: Season 2 (2022)– From celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon to everyday civilians, Get Organized follows The Home Edit’s Clea and Joanna as they use their unique system to take spaces “from MESS to YES”.

I watched Bad Vegan recently. I wouldn't recommend. Another scam story but not as watchable or interesting as others.

i can't comment on production values as I haven't seen the shows mentioned but styles of acting vary between countries. I quite like Korean shows but I can see they have a very different acting style to english language TV shows and I can see why some would be put off by it.

White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch Trailer

I would say I slightly preferred season 1 but season 2 was still very good.

Watched Boiling Point, ok and very watchable but nothing great. I didn’t find it intense at all, pretty much nothing happened in it. I read here somewhere it was like uncut gems in the intensity factor but I didn’t see anything to compare them, uncut gems was a million miles an hour from start to end with a towering central performance from Sandler, something not present in Boiling Point.
