Some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases):
Squid Game (TV): Believe the hype, this is crazily dark and entertaining
No Time To Die (Movie): Big thumbs up, a great way to end the Daniel Craig era (and really the Bond era to date)
Succession (TV): Still impossibly good
Dune (Movie): Really enjoyed the new version, and also went back to re-watch the David Lynch original (which has its moments!)
Dopesick (TV): A compelling look at a tragic topic (with Michael Keaton elevating everything as usual)
The Many Saints of Newark (Movie): It was great to be back in this world for a short time
Curb Your Enthusiasm (TV): All hail the king
Four Hours at The Capitol (Movie): Legitimately terrifying
The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin (TV): I’m obviously an absolute sucker for this kind of stuff
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (Movie): Better than the first one (more over-the-top, plus you can’t go wrong with Woody)
Scenes From a Marriage (Movie): Loved the remake, and also enjoyed this gender-swapped original version
Love on The Spectrum (TV): I find this show incredibly charming
15 Minutes of Shame (Movie): A fascinating look at public shaming from someone who knows a bit about it
The Velvet Underground (Movie): Interesting, but didn’t blow my mind as some reviews had led me to expect
The Problem With Jon Stewart (TV): Still finding its legs, but covering important stuff
Dave Chappelle: The Closer (Movie): Obviously this is clouded in controversy, but you certainly can’t accuse him of shying away from public conversation
Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan (TV): What a ride
Introducing, Selma Blair (Movie): Deep respect to her for being this open about her condition
