Media Diary (June 2023)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases):

The Days (TV): Completely engrossing and maddening

BlackBerry (Movie): A delight!

Arnold (TV): Tore through this, was impressed not only by his (unmatched) career, but also with his not shying away from discussing past behavior and bad choices

The American Gladiators Documentary (TV): This had exactly the amount of backstabbing and intrigue that I wanted

Black Mirror (TV): The king is back

The Flash (Movie): Obviously tons of flaws, but overall I enjoyed it (certainly more than many of the recent DC slogs)

Dead Ringers (TV): Super compelling, and her dual performances are kind of incredible

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV): So fun, so glad it’s back

Stan Lee (Movie): Hell of a career

I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (TV): For my money, the funniest show on television

Painting With John (TV): Still bizarre, still kind of meditative

Grand Knighthawk: Infiltrating The KKK (Movie): A fascinating look at some despicable people

The Crowded Room (TV): Everyone’s hating on this, but I’m…kind of into it?

Bama Rush (Movie): I wanted far more drama from this than I got

Secret Invasion (TV): Will see where it goes, but Samuel L. always elevates

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV): Incredible that this is still on, and that the gang still manages to (generally) keep the comedic wheels from falling off

The Righteous Gemstones (TV): Just put it in my veins

MerPeople (TV): Had no idea this was a thing, but of course it is

Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (TV): Definitely some overlap with stuff I’ve experienced
