Some things I’ve experienced lately, in no particular order, and not necessarily only recent stuff:
Da 5 Bloods (Movie): Really enjoyed
I May Destroy You (TV): Fearless
Slow Burn: David Duke (Podcast): Still need to catch up on Season 3, but this look into Duke’s rise is gripping/horrifying
Original Cast Album: Company (Movie): Love this entire vibe
Undertaker: The Last Ride (TV): I’m a sucker for stories about old wrestlers
Blow-Up (Movie): Fascinating, still thinking about the creepiness of the park scene at night
Swallow (Movie): Was obviously gonna watch this, and my wife was obviously gonna tap out
Perry Mason (TV): So far, so good (especially the vintage LA setting)
Burn Motherfucker, Burn! (Movie): Speaking of LA, this was a compelling look at Watts and Rodney King
Shirley (Movie): I’ll watch Elisabeth Moss in pretty much anything
Quiz (TV): An interesting story, and weird to see Tom from Succession with a British accent
Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau (Movie): Sneaking back onto your own set as a masked extra (after being fired) earns absolute baller status
60 in 6 (Quibi): Great use of the short format (by an obviously top-notch existing brand)
Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn (Movie): This guy was something else
Space Force (TV): It got pretty mediocre reviews, but I found it to be generally fine
Harold and Maude (Movie): Loved it, and went on a bit of a Hal Ashby bender as a result…
Being There (Movie): Loved this even more…
Hal (Movie): Learned more about Ashby’s story (and sad later years)
Royalties (Quibi): Just alright, but has its moments, and the accompanying music videos are pretty solid
Andre The Giant (Movie): What a legend
On The Record (Movie): Sad stories of music industry abuse
13th (Movie): Should be required viewing, especially given the events of the past month or two
AKA Jane Roe (Movie): The interesting journey of the woman at the center of Roe v. Wade
Kirby Jenner (Quibi): Also just alright, but part of my ongoing attempt to be at least peripherally aware of the various Kardashians
Spaceship Earth (Movie): A story that I’d followed a little as a kid, but never knew the extensive history behind the founding group
Wisconsin Death Trip (Movie): My kind of strange, and I think Sarah should be the compulsive window smasher woman for Halloween
