Watched: ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran 🍿
This was so cool! Ed roams around New York City with his guitar, playing songs for unsuspecting strangers and surprise parties—all in one take. He seems so genuinely nice and grateful to play for fans. I’d love to see some behind the scenes of how this was shot. 👍👍
Watched: The Marvels 🍿
I know I’m behind on this, but they really did this movie dirty. Great characters and actors, just a shamefully poor storyline. 👎
Watched: Stranger Things S5E4, Chapter Four: Sorcerer 📺
Definitively yell-at-the-TV-the-whole-time-because-of-plot-holes kind of show. But that didn’t stop us from binging all four episodes released today. Some genuinely good moments too. Won’t be too sad when things wrap up next month. 👍
Watched: Masters of the Air 📺
Much like Chernobyl, I think this is a series that everyone should see. 👍👍
Watched: La La Land 🍿
It may not be the world’s best musical movie, but gosh do I enjoy it. Both Stone and Gosling do so well. The ending is clever, if not totally satisfying. And the tunes are sure to be in my head for weeks. 👍👍
Watched: Masters of the Air S1E6, Part Six 📺
After some time away from this show, I binged a few episodes today. Truly gripping stuff that showcases the horrors of being on a fighter plane in WW2. Gonna need some time to process it for sure.
Rewatched: The Queen’s Gambit 📺
What a show! I had a hankering to watch this again after a few years, and so glad that I did. Marathoned it over two days. It’s a masterclass in growing empathy for nearly every character, and showing dull things dramatically. And a triumph in set and costume design.
Watched: Pluribus S1E1, We Is Us 📺
My wife and I watched the first two episodes yesterday and are hooked. We had to pause multiple times to debate the implications and moral quandaries of what was happening on-screen. The mark of a good show! (And Severance-esque 👍)
Rewatched: Agatha All Along Season 1 📺
Even better the second time through, as I was able to keep up with the twists and turns and weirdness. And catch all the foreshadowing. Worth a rewatch! 👍
Watched: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 🍿
My wife and I enjoyed disussing the benefits and detriments of having a whole book/series as source material when making a movie. But we agreed that they did a great job playing to the book fans on this one. I give it a 👍
🍿 Just watched: The Gorge
📺 Helly was wearing a watch in S2E5, the same episode in which severed workers were described as not wearing watches — instead telling time only by the clock on the wall. There’s definitely something strange about time passage happening for Innies… I just can’t figure out how it affects Outies!
🍿 Watched: The Wild Robot
🍿 Watched: Here
📺 Finished watching: A.P. Bio (Season 1) on Netflix
📺 Finished watching: Silo (Season 2) on Apple TV+
🍿 Watched: Fly Me to the Moon on Apple TV+
📺 I just finished my rewatch of Severance and, my god, did they ever nail that finale. Every scene a cliffhanger, with the ultimate one at the very end.
Though so much was left a mystery, I’d still have been happy if the series ended right there. But I’m overjoyed that season 2 picks up in a few days!
📺 If you got hooked on Severance during Apple’s free TV+ streaming weekend, you should definitely get on finishing season one for free on the Roku Channel before its second season debuts on January 17. I’ve been rewatching and am completely captivated once again. The official podcast is great, too.
