Task

Media Diary (September 2025)

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. 💪

Task (TV): Love both of the leads and the overall tone

The Shrouds (Movie): What a creepy concept

Three Women (Book): Really enjoyed this, it read like fiction

The Paper (TV): I thought this was a great first season, and look forward to seeing where it goes

Memory: The Origins of Alien (Movie): A fantastic look behind the film’s many influences

Slow Horses (TV): I hope they keep making this until the end of time

Highest 2 Lowest (Movie): Always a Spike fan

The Lowdown (TV): Digging the vibe so far

Sid and Nancy (Movie): I’d somehow never seen this, and it was fantastic

Sad Vacation (Movie): Obviously I then had to watch the documentary

aka Charlie Sheen (TV): What a life journey (and a reminder that it’s been too long since I’ve watched Men at Work)

Saint Maud (Movie): Rewatched it for Stream Team, check out our takes!

Ruby & Jodi: A Cult of Sin and Influence (TV): I’d already seen something else about them before, and was still shocked

Sunday Best (Movie): I had no idea how hard Ed Sullivan advocated for minority artists

English Teacher (TV): Still one of the funniest comedies right now

Friendship (Movie): Exactly what I needed it to be (given the leads)

Gen V (TV): Already starting the new season strong, but if I’m honest I often confuse it in my mind with Wednesday (given the similar setup)

Seeking Mavis Beacon (Movie): A bit of a letdown, but a good concept

The Pitt (TV): Late to the party, but a big fan

The Woman in the Yard (Movie): Some cool imagery, but overall kind of a mess

My Husband, the Cyborg (Movie): An interesting look at the idea of giving yourself another physical sense
