No life updates everything is status quo since Vegas. I did get to go to a local comic con followed by a street fair recently in which I bought many comics and many food stuffs, you can see photos of that on the Instagram. I’ve also caught many shows, movies and games, but other than that “status quo” (with updates and changes but nothing of interest from the Pop-Culture range… I just happen to have a life I live.
MOVIES & STREAMING (TV)
Sophie Thatcher under the direction of Refn? Yes please.
This western looks like it’ll be damn good.
I watched this 3 part documentary. I left disgusted, horrified and distraught. It did it’s job. It told it’s story, a story that hasn’t ended, a story that won’t end without work like this existing.
Finally a version of Robin Hood that truly relys on the actual ballads and not just the concepts of them.
I appreciate Angelina being able to be a sex symbol, an aging actress and an icon still and working with a noted French director whose work is brilliant but not broken through to America.
This almost feels like Fiction. Super Army dude Jimmy Stewart, but he was. I am reluctant as this is a faith based film and may come across heavy handed, but the subject matter is still fascinating.
I feel I need to see the directors other film with Qualley to know if this will be any good, but the trailer grabbed me.
Highly anticipated. They teased us good on the season finale, I’m excited to see where this goes.
This looks so dumn, and David Wain does really good dumb.
Season 1 was great, I’m very curious to see how season 2 pans out with a new mystery but following the threads of the overarching reveals established prior.
I am not familiar with the original book, nor seen the creative tema two previous films together, but hey it’s Russell Crowe.
David Leitch hasn’t made a movie or tken a job I haven’t enjoyed yet.
I am not exactly a fan of Adam Wingard’s work, this is actually one of those “the A24 we knew is gone” films, but they also are releasing Death of Robin Hood which premise is very A24, so…
David Robert Mitchell films definitely can not be looked at be called his films. Pure eccentricity hitting all genres.
I just love everything about this.
from the creators of dropout’s Play it By Ear and other such wonderfulness.
This feels like a true departure for Niccol but also very much him. His first film in seven years because of the intensity of the production.
Sexy weird LGBTQ horror thriller.
A breakout kind of film for the writer and director who have had active work but not that home run. and Yahya whose range in Wonder Man opened eyes, now getting more open.
It’s so dumb, it’s genius.
Tropper has a pedigree of creation, be it original or adaptation and it stars Anna Taylor-Joy. I’m in.
MUSIC
(an eclectic selection of recent rock, pop, alternative performances or music videos)
OTHER
This is gonna be so fun.
Unintentional or completely intentional ad for the Banana Synth, a real product you can buy soon, and I want one.
ICYMI and don’t have HBO Max or Cartoon Netowkr, you can watch the brilliant cartoon here.
Cartoon Carttooooooooooooooooooooooons! with another banger.
I don’t have much wrestling to share this week, but Everett Connors hands down is one of my favorites. I am so glad I got to see him perform one last time in Vegas before this his final match (for now?) at a show that also feautured his wife’s dream match.
