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. 💪

The Brutalist (Movie): Legitimately incredible, and a BIG THUMBS UP to the intermission, let’s bring them back!

Severance (TV): The king has returned after like 50 years, let’s see where things go

Autocracy in America (Podcast): Essential listening

Post-Traumatic (Book): Enjoyed, but I wanted more psych ward action!

Brazil (Movie): Can’t believe I’d never seen, you can listen to our hot takes on the podcast

American Primeval (TV): Stunning (and truly BRUTAL)

Badlands (Movie): Mostly vibes, but WHAT vibes

Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes (TV): Granted they were MUCH different crimes, but some strong Luigi parallels here with the good-looking killer and all of the adoring fans

A Woman Under The Influence (Movie): Fantastic, and this is just the start of my (shamefully delayed) Cassavetes journey

An Update on Our Family (TV): I’d heard the story, but those horrors aside, their whole ghastly influencer vibe is kinda fascinating

Music by John Williams (Movie): An absolutely astounding career

The Curious Case of Natalia Grace (TV): Seems like a decent outcome given everything she went through

The Curious Case of… (TV): Also digging this anthology spinoff

Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back (Movie): Think I’d seen this ages ago, and it reaffirmed that I most likely would have punched young Bob in the dick (but I’m still a lifelong fan!)

Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action (TV): Obviously I grew up on this, but it was still wild to watch

Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (Movie): Hard pass, bro, I’ll just go with death

Mayfair Witches (TV): This show is so mediocre, and yet I persist

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Movie): I’d also seen this back in the day, but this time around it was fascinating to witness the conflicting communication styles

Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story (TV): Shocker, this guy was/is a real piece of shit

Operation Unite (Movie): Ol’ DJP is back in the saddle!
