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. 💪

One Hundred Years of Solitude (TV): Legitimately breathtaking, cannot wait for the second batch of episodes

Anora (Movie): Lived up to the hype, I love all of his stuff

Stream Team (Podcast): Shameless plug, with more to come in 2025!

Squid Game (TV): Somehow went even darker this season, and I was fully along for the journey

A Complete Unknown (Movie): LOVED it, and legit forgot he wasn’t actually Bob for long stretches

Creature Commandos (TV): Delightfully unhinged

Nosferatu (Movie): Quite good, but in preparation for it I went on a bit of a Nosferatu/Dracula journey…

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Movie): …in which I discovered that the “original” is my favorite…

Nosferatu the Vampyre (Movie): …the Werner Herzog version isn’t bad…

Shadow of The Vampire (Movie): …this (which I’d seen with my wife when it first came out eons ago) is fully off the rails…

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Movie): …and this one (which I hadn’t seen in decades either) should’ve resulted in Keanu serving time for that accent

Liars (Book): Enjoyed it a little more after a recent book club discussion, but overall I’d just give it a shrug

Skeleton Crew (TV): Loving the Goonies energy

Jesus Christ Superstar (Movie): Another one I hadn’t seen in ages, check the podcast for our group takes

Superstars: The Documentary (Movie): I then obviously had to watch the documentary, which looked to have had a budget of (generously) fifty bucks

Nöthin’ But A Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80S Hair Metal (TV): I could watch ’80s rock excess documentaries every day and never get sick of them

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (Movie): A sad and touching story

Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story (TV): I love deep dives into the dark underbellies of beloved brands, and this one definitely delivered

Orbital (Book): Some beautiful parts, but overall it didn’t do that much for me

Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary (Movie): Loved this, and I always adore the Steely Dan dudes being complete maniacs in the studio

Elton John: Never Too Late (Movie): I already knew most of the story, but I’ll take any chance I can get to marvel at his career

Vinyl Nation (Movie): As someone with a recently-acquired record collecting habit, this spoke to me

Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey (TV): I was loosely familiar with the case growing up, but found myself riveted at just how insane the whole thing was

Blink Twice (Movie): A bit much, but I definitely enjoyed myself

No Good Deed (TV): Still early on with this, but it has my attention

Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy (Movie): I’m starting to think that capitalism might not be that great, guys

Doctor Who: Joy to The World (TV): Felt just average, but the hotel lady’s performance took it up a notch (I wish she’d become a companion!)

Red One (Movie): The less said about this, the better, though you have to respect J.K. Simmons clearly only agreeing to do it for the scene in which he gets to lift weights/flex his unnecessary guns as Santa
