Media Diary (August 2024)

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

In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Alien: Romulus (Movie): They kinda nailed it

Bad Monkey (TV): Great energy, overall vibes and performances

Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World’s Greatest Nuclear Disaster (Book): Failure at levels almost beyond comprehension

MaXXXine (Movie): A solid end (maybe?) to the trilogy

MILF of Norway (TV): Love this, and now I want to go to Norway

The Coin (Book): Read this so I can participate in a “Sad Girls Book Club” (true story)

Twisters (Movie): Exactly what I expected and wanted it to be

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV): I was on the positive end of lukewarm for the first season, but it’s starting strong so far

Return to Oz (Movie): It’d been a while, and we made an event out of it

Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story (TV): I’ll watch almost any music doc, but this one was especially solid

Time Bandits (Movie): Had actually never seen this, so remedied the situation after getting into the remake series last month

Cowboy Cartel (TV): What a wild story!

President in Waiting (Movie): An interesting look at the role of modern VPs

Chimp Crazy (TV): I pretended that I wasn’t gonna watch this, but let’s be real, it was inevitable

Presumed Innocent (Movie): I think overall I was a bigger fan of the new series

Snowpiercer (TV): Against all reason, I keep getting back on the train

Only Murders in The Building (TV): Kinda shrugworthy these days, but I still generally enjoy it
