It's Saturday, what have you watched this week?

I can't sleep, which is normal, so I'm binge watching Bob Ross.

Just finished the latest season of Rings of Power, honestly can't fault this season really, it's been to a pretty high standard all through

Futurama. Since the revival the episodes have been pretty hit and miss, but I really enjoyed the latest episode!

Last night we watched Hayride to Hell and the new Salem's Lot movie. The rest of the week was spent still trying to get thru Grimm.

Watched Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Despicable me 4. Multiple episodes of Gilligan's Island. Multiple episodes of Thundarr the Barbarian.

Thunder had some next level writing for a cartoon.

After Thundarr dispatches multiple enemies attacking a town.... Townfolk ask.

"What matter of man are you?"

Thundarr answers

"FREE!"

About half way through the first season of Star Trek Discovery.

Mindhunter on Netflix. I'm hooked!

Earlier this week I did 3 nights in a row where I watched a psychological horror film. I watched:

• Longlegs - Creepiest role I’ve seen Nicolas Cage play
• Midsommar - Absolute mindfuck that stuck with me
• Us - Love Jordan Peele, so I found this one to be a lot of fun, even if the plot was a bit weird and not fully fleshed out (which might’ve been the point; Jordan Peele likes to leave some things vague)

Longlegs was probably my favorite among the 3. I love dark pagan thrillers and stuff in the realm of Se7en.

been watching the updated Little drummer girl from 2018. It's beautiful, and I will watch anything with Michael. Shannon, but for the first time I'm not finding florence pugh as compelling as usual. she's still very good, and maybe it's because there are so many types of acting portrayed in the show, but this feels like she's playing characters rather than embodying them, which I usually think she's perfect at.

or maybe this was before she clinched her acting technique in midsommar a year later.

or maybe it's deliberate.

Movies

No movies watched this week.

I've watched the first two episodes of Giri/Haji. While the story and most characters haven't really click with me yet, it was a very pleasant surprise to see Kelly Macdonald in the second lead role. I loved her acting in Choke and Boardwalk Empire.

I rewatched Kingsman Secret Service earlier this week and holy crap I forgot just how good that film is. Brilliant pacing, great subversion of expectations and probably the most fun fight scenes of any film I've seen.

My wife and I have been watching Columbo all week. It might be my wife's favorite show. They have watched all of it multiple times.

• Taskmaster: series 18 has been great so far. My wife is loving it because she says Jack Dee and I both have the same reaction to things.
• The Great British Bake Off: as good as always
• School Spirits: it was okay. I'd rather watch Ghosts any day. (British or American version)
• Haikyu!!: my daughter just started playing volleyball at school, so I've been watching this with her. This is my second watch and it's still great.

I've just started to watch Kaos, I'm on to episode 2 and am enjoying how they are retelling the Greek myths as though the gods are real and still a part of the world... I'm nerding out a bit as I love mythology, so it's nice to see what petty arseholes the gods are, seeing Zeus wearing a tracksuit and loafing around his golden palace

지옥에서 온 판사 new fun K drama

also tons of Animal Planet. My Cat From Hell and Life Among Lions are great!

also recently started Star Trek Lower Decks and am loving it

An old musical: 1776. I have that memorized!
