Some things I’ve experienced lately, in no particular order, and not necessarily only recent stuff:
Fear City: New York vs. The Mafia (TV): Man this was good
Los Espookys (TV): An absolute delight, can’t wait for more
Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man (Book): Bleak, bleak, bleak
Hamilton (Movie): Was generally familiar with the soundtrack but had never seen the play (wow!)
Love on The Spectrum (TV): Found this fascinating, funny and moving
Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators (Book): Have just started, on my wife’s enthusiastic recommendation
Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado (Movie): Man, what a life!
Die Hart (Quibi): To be clear, this isn’t great, but it does have Travolta raging around in a warehouse, so 🤷♂️
I’ll Be Gone in The Dark (TV): Chilling
Welcome To Chechnya (Movie): Absolutely sickening what these poor people have to endure
Unsolved Mysteries (TV): Back in action!
Greyhound (Movie): I respect Hanks’ powerful “old man trying to keep it together” energy in this
Brave New World (TV): Just starting this, but like the vibe
Hello America (Quibi): Has the occasional decent bit, but definitely still finding its sea legs
Terminator: Dark Fate (Movie): I enjoyed this more than I expected (big, dumb, goofy and fun)
Corporate (TV): This show is so hilariously grim, glad it’s back
Mr. Jones (Movie): This hit a little too close to home in 2020 America
Tickled (Movie): So amazingly weird (The Tickle King followup is also good)
Home Movie: The Princess Bride (Quibi): Had its moments
The Two Popes (Movie): 2 Furious
We Are Freestyle Love Supreme (Movie): I have a low “hanging out with theater people” threshold, but was cool to see longtime friends reuniting
Life Size Toys (Quibi): Eh
The Resurrection of Jake The Snake (Movie): I went on a little bit of a wrestling documentary binge this month, including this…
