Wise move.
Agreed. This was a bit of a random pick for me and the missus, but it’s a really original script and incredibly well acted.

Planet Earth III.
Our Natural World is simply stunning, and it’s made even more so through Attenborough’s lens. Phenomenal TV.

Looking forward to this.
Ultra-low budget and very violent rip-off of “Alien”. A space module lands back to Earth after a failed mission, but the astronauts have been replaced by hideous creatures that can penetrate into people’s bodies and make them explode. A group of speleologists are attacked by the monsters inside an underground cave, but the survivors are in for a surprise when they finally manage to escape the trap…

Something I’ve noticed and keep looking for at these reunions is that Jerry is always a buffer between Byrne and Chris/Tina.

Really enjoying this. Best tv I’ve seen in a while.
If you like vintage woody Allen this has similarities (well Jewish New York humour presumably)
Genuinely worth a watch… you’ll know within 10 minutes if you like it or not

I watched the first few and was left feeling like he was trying so hard to be Woody Allen it was almost off putting.
Kinda related but the documentary about Woody Allen “Allen v Farrow” is not an easy watch. I adored his films growing up but I just don’t see them in the same way now.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to watch that (hadn’t heard of it before) … I’d sort of assumed Allen had been partly stitched up. Sounds as if I was misinformed
I didn’t feel he was trying to copy Woody Allen particularly… just Jewish humour was my reading of it

The documentary is wild. It dispels the notion he’s a quirky film maker and puts him firmly in the position of Hollywood powerhouse and if the makers (his estranged family) are to be believed then he’s a sinister bastard.
I love his 70’s NY films, Manhattan etc so didn’t want to dislike him but it’s hard not to after watching that.
Yeah he was so front and centre of each of his (good,early) films that if you no longer believe the schtich they’d be a hard watch…

Just rewatched Housebound on Amazon Prime.
It’s a genre bending horror comedy. Some proper jump scares and laugh out loud moments.

Watched the original Halloween last night with my 17 year old daughter, she loved it and the music freaked her out a bit as it did me… Lol

This was very funny and gross. Norwegian dark comedy about extreme narcissism. Same writer/director as the new Nicholas Cage ‘Dream Scenario’ thing.

We’re watching The Burning tonight…
John Cleese discussing phone-hacking with Chris Tarrant whilst flanked by nuns and cats. Nothing if not surreal…
