Jauronimo Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I really enjoyed The Menu on HBOMax. After having the good fortune of enjoying some truly pretentious and over the top meals this past year, I was especially entertained with the concept.

It's an old fashion drawing room mystery with good characters and nice plot. I was disappointed I settled on the murder long before the end but I appreciated the attempt. I think Glass Onion is poor imitation. C+ at best. There wasn't much of a mystery and the murderer (again) seemed obvious. Not much of reveal and process to uncover the murderer and overall the story was too contrived. However, I hope they try again because I like Daniel Craig's character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm not a "game show" fan, but "Taskmaster" out of Britain is great fun. It may be a stretch to call it a game show, as it's not taken seriously and it's all for laughs. Five comedians compete to win ludicrous "tasks" judged by the "Taskmaster," Greg Davis. Since nearly all the tasks are taped, the possibilities are endless (up to season 14). Every season is on Youtube. The episodes are 45 minutes and go by fast. Each season you meet five new comedians/actors. Some of the contestants remain in an Andy Kaufman-ish performance art, but sometimes you're not sure.

Hopefully it will be a lot more intelligent than that. If it deteriorates into that sort of thing, I'll quit on it, just as I did with Walking Dead.

WhoTom Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We just saw "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" on Roku (free). If you like spoofs of biopics, this is a pretty good one. Not quite "Spinal Tap" quality, but funny nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK: I caught this last night and really enjoyed it. At the very beginning, when they showed the viral video of Kai, I immediately recognized him! I have seen that video clip on Youtube before! But I didn't know the rest of the story; he's an interesting character. I wish they had pursued some of the topics raised more deeply. For example--the old man that he allegedly murdered toward the end of the show--if Kai was the aggressor and taking advantage of a kind, old man, how exactly did they come to be in each other's company? Why was the victim with him or helping him? Why did he buy him a ticket? There is way more there to that story than the doc explores. Last comment--that kid has a great head of hair! He has rock star hair and it looked even better when he cut it toward the end. The neck/face tattoo wasn't so great. Thanks for mentioning this; I really enjoy good docs and am always on the lookout for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Last night I watched "Vatican Girl" on Netflix. 4 part documentary about a missing 15 year old girl who lived in the Vatican with her family. Really interesting and highly recommended! It's worth watching just for all the shots of Rome throughout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Watched the first 4 episodes of Shrinking on Apple TV this week, and I’ve enjoyed it. I guess it’s a drama/comedy about a psychiatrist (Jason Segel) whose wife has passed and he starts to resort to “unorthodox” methods with his clients. Harrison Ford also co-stars and plays and interesting role as colleague/mentor. Good stuff so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If you are looking for a few laughs, try "Cunk on Earth" on Netflix. The concept is a "know-it-all" journalist named Philomena Cunk, who is doing a documentary on the History of Civilization......the only problem is that the "journalist" is actually incredibly stupid and self-centered....and comedy ensues. I've actually laughed out loud at some of the ridiculous things she says and questions she asks these very intelligent experts on History and Ancient cultures, and the answers these poor experts have to try to give her(they aren't in on the joke and try to answer her questions as seriously as they possibly can!). It turns out that this actress has been doing this character for a few years over in England, but its the first time Netflix has aired one of her "documentaries". Anyway, if you like that kind of humor, its definitely worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Finished season 3 of For All Mankind on Apple+, an alternate history drama of the race to the Moon and Mars. Highly recommended for anyone who likes realistic space adventures. I’m hoping there’s a 4th season but that wasn’t clear. Going back a bit: On Disney: She-Hulk was ok but a bit too jokey for my superhero taste. And I didn’t like when they break the 4th wall. Werewolf by Night was a single movie which I never felt fully explained the reason behind it, other than to introduce some of the monster characters to the MCU. Star Wars Andor started out a bit dull but it picked up as it went on. It sucks you into to struggle of the emerging rebellion against the evil empire. Amazon: The Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt was similar to that Tom Cruise movie where he kept going back in time while fighting aliens. It was ok but somewhat predictable. The History of Time Travel was a docudrama format about a guy in the 1940-50s who invents a time machine, the creation of the atomic bomb, and the paradoxes of going back to change WWII history. A bit monotone but if you like time travel you should enjoy. HBO: Black Adam was disappointing as the story seemed rushed and the character development was sparse for the JSA members. Elvis gave a really interesting backstory on the relationship with Col. Tom Parker. And the music was very good. Dune had better visuals than the original movie, but I think I liked the pace of the original better. And it’s disappointing that this movie was only part one.

Just Jack Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Well this sucks. My BiL changed his Disney+ password again, and even though he willingly gives it to me, this is the 3rd time in less than a year. Since the wife and I are looking at dropping our TV package and just going to all streaming, we figured we would just subscribe ourselves. Well, Roku will not support the Disney+/Hulu with Ads package for $10, we had to get the no-ads package for $20/month. (We were also getting Hulu from her co-worker for several years, and had no issues but figured we would just bundle the two together anyways) On 2/5/2023 at 12:33 PM, PastaJoe said: Finished season 3 of For All Mankind on Apple+, an alternate history drama of the race to the Moon and Mars.

Nextmanup Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We devoured "Outer Banks" all 3 seasons in about a week and a half. I really enjoyed that series, which was a surprise. Season 4 was nicely set up in the last episode of Season 3. Also polished off the new Netflix series about the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. Knocked it off in a single night. I enjoyed it and it's worth watching, but it was ultimately disappointing in that it never really came close to reaching any sort of conclusion. Some of the "conspiracy" type theories put forth seemed kind of far fetched to me. I have still yet to watch "Im Westen Nichts Neues" on Netflix but am really looking forward to that.
