    Pepsi Where’s my Jet was very enjoyable.

    I have watched one episode so far of Keep Sweet Prey and Obey. It’s a change of pace from the Pepsi one that’s for sure!!!

    Any feedback on Bad Surgeon or Conversation with a Killer John Wayne Gavy tapes (I watched the other doc on him)?


    im prob going to watch Hell Camp and The Girl in the Picture too. Possibly Curry and Cyanide The Jolly Jospeh Case too

    Watch Bad Surgeon, the story itself will sicken you. Keep Sweet Pray and Obey is very good, as is The John Wayne Gacy tapes . I watched Hell Camp yesterday.

    Edited, damn autocorrect 🤣

    Watched 'Maxine' didn't know what it was about but gave it a go cause love true crime.

    Maxine was Ian Huntelys partner. 3 episodes drama based obviously on the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Good enough watch if u don't know the full details. Was 12 at the time, still remember it.... so sad.

    We thought it was very good, 2 main characters seemed spot on compared to real life interviews

    Watching Black and Blue tonight, a ‘Smoking Kills’ caption appeared every time it showed someone smoking. We going to get this in every movie in the future?

    Well after my atrocious choices, I let me husband pick the next choice on Nexflix.

    Watched two episode of WWW 2, astonishing that it's real footage just updated.

    Heartbreaking stuff, upsetting me thinking of what's going on in Ukraine and Gaza today.

    Awful tense at times. The police seem awful slow to react to things

    I really enjoyed the Robert Pattinson Batman as well. It obviously has a different tone and pace than Nolan's trilogy. But I loved the dark atmosphere and the dread of the background music. And the story was very good.

    watched this over last few days. Had potential but was absurd in places.

    finished it tonight and I found myself questioning/talking to the tv for answers why the Amsterdam police make certain decisions for what’s going on and who has just done this or that.

    Was looking at upcoming shows and they got my hopes up. Saw Kingdom 3 due out on the 10th but then turned out to be the third in a movie series called Kingdom rather than season 3 the Korean zombie series. 😟

    Yeah, the opening scenes introducing both The Riddler and Batman were as good as some supposed horror films.

    Feels like a movie made for TV, but was a decent story. I liked it.

    Looks amazing, but utterly forgettable. It copies so many movies I don't think theres an original idea in it. There's one character with one of the worst Irish accents I've ever heard mumbled. Sub par for me. Great visuals though.

    Exactly. I found the following references but there are many more, Star Wars (obviously), Star Trek, Avatar, Harry Potter, Raised by Wolves, The Orville with what felt like the exact same scenes recreated.

    Also, I can't figure out why the need for the Aussie and Northern Ireland accents. Was it to create a sense of foreign/exotic but it fell flat for me anyway.

    2 hours introducing characters and I can barely remember them or what their motivation is/was. The visuals were weird for me, felt like some scenes were filmed through a type of fisheye lens like there was some distortion to the aspect ratio outside of the main focus point (particularly when the robot was chatting with Kora).

    In saying that, I'll watch the second one just to wrap it up.

    Watched episode one of the new Harlan Coben show...fool me once.

    Not hooking me in, I love a bit of trash but not really working for me so far.

    Just finished Half Bad - the bastard son and the devil himself. Really enjoyed it. One of those series tucked away as I only spotted it last week - totally unaware of it all last year.

    Anyway, it’s well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it and are into the supernatural fantasy genre.

    I really liked it too shame it was cancelled. I don't think the name changes helped.

    Watched the latest Chapelle special last night.

    I'm a huge fan of his but this one was very disappointing, no substance to it and nowhere near his previous efforts. Still, there were a few laughs to be had which is more than can be said for Ricky Gervais latest, what an utter slog that was to get through.

    Society of the Snow is out today, JA Bayona's take on the infamous Uruguayan / Andes plane crash that was previously dramatised in 'Alive'.

    https://youtu.be/pDak4qLyF4Q?si=GSNeK4iZRrnGfxsB

    I generally liked this one - it's a much more authentic, gruelling take on the story than the more Hollywood-ified Alive was. It has several pretty raw, difficult setpieces, and it does not tone down the extreme conditions and moral quandaries the survivors had to endure.

    It unquestionably has its issues, including an odd decision or two regarding the film's POV. Bayona does not do subtlety. But I liked it a lot more than Bayona's previous take on a real-life catastrophe (The Impossible) and overall it is a tight, brutal survival thriller that does right by the people involved.

    Shout out for Bitconned, the story behind one of the many crypto scams. The story is new yet also ancient, the technology aspect is not overly examined (it didn't need to be). Central character Ray Trapani is absolutely fascinating, you just gasp every time he offers up another window into his world view. Makes you genuinely wonder how people are so gullible to fall for the scams, considering how little effort the scammers put in. Very watchable stuff and I can only imagine the 6.6 imdb rating is a result of downvoting by those still holding out for crypto cash.

    Thought the chapelle / Gervais specials were only OK comedy wise, yet important in their content to ensure comedy is not curtailed to certain approved topics only. These are the only comedians big enough to be uncancellable, which is a great shame as fresher talent would have a field day with trans topic in particular.

    Bad Surgeon is worth a watch. Solid 7/10

    The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist was very good . Definitely worth a watch 8/10

    Some incredibly naive people in both …….


    Hell Camp was only middling 6/10

    I laughed out loud at how they got the photo of their CEO. 😆

    Google images: old white guy

    Yeah worth a watch for sure.

    Binged the first 7 eps over xmas, thought it was good - WW2, Evil Japanese Nazis, Monsters etc., great stuff. Final 3 eps dropped today and binged them, thought it was good as well, to a point...

    And then the last 10 mins...what a load of bollocks. How to ruin a decent show with 10+ hrs behind it, trying to set up a second series!
