Just finished ‘A Man In Full’ on Netflix, the last scene was a bit of an eye opener to say the least lol

Charity shop find, 75p, Robert De Niro’s debut as a Director.
Probably not watched it since sometime in the 90s, watched it this evening and enjoyed it but i’m a sucker for gangsters & vintage NY, bit Goodfellas lite in places but overall good stuff, some great music included as well.

With you on that, some great tunes in it - love the Donald Byrd one. On the Mob front, just discovered there’s a Mob Museum in Vegas, never fancied the place before but this puts a new spin on it…
There’s also an associated podcast (of course there is) done by a couple of ex FBI or something agents which I’ve only just started to listen to but the first episode is pretty engaging, whether it continues or goes off the boil remains to be seen.
And finally… Just started this on C4/Walter Presents - The Hunter about a Mafia prosecutor set in the early 90s against the backdrop of the massive wave of violence at the time. Only seen 1 so far but seems pretty good (although the lead bears more than a passing resemblance to Borat and I can’t shake that thought 
) Italian organised crime dramas always seem a lot more menacing to me, not many of the lighter moments and levity you get in the US films /series.

Nice one, will check them both out 
Episode 3 of the Camden thing on Disney+ is worth a watch. The Roots, Giles Peterson, Norman Jay, Soul II Soul etc. The other episodes look a bit shit.

I gave that a deliberate miss on account of Noel Gallagher being in it and used all over the marketing. I mean is it really necessary to have him in everything, dude pops up everywhere. He’s such a rent-a-gob. Shame cos I’d probably find some of the episodes interesting

Yeh i skipped all the other episodes.
It’s nothing remarkable but lots of late 80s/early 90s chat and some footage. Good story about how London/Giles developed The Roots. I guess it’s the soulful episode of the series so Noel wasn’t invited.

Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan. By actually spending the entire show with someone from the country you get far more insight that just him solo. How they handled Rwanda’s recent history was really touching, a lot of these sleb travelogues could learn from it.

Have started ‘The Leftovers’ never heard of it before. Interesting concept with good reviews but growing tired of it already. Hopefully it picks up. Anyone else seen it? Came out 2014

Enjoyed it too. Thought they stretched it out slightly too much and it got a bit unbelievable in places but overall was well made. Great soundtrack!

Loved the first series, the music was amazing. Max Richter score was one of the best I’ve heard in a show.

the NBA finals, even though i have no love for either team.
boston is whatevs, no real complaint but the eastern conference finals had a clear path to the finals, the only power teams fought each other early.
i could kind of say the same thing about dallas, they also sort of stumbled ass-backwards into the finals. one of my least fave teams in the league - luka is good but isn’t built to last and wants to litigate every slight or foul to the refs, which is a bore. he’s good as hell now but he completely looks like he has halftime beers and maybe a smoke or two, and when it catches up with him, he’ll act put out, like it’s all owed to him. also, jason kidd is just a horb of a guy. fuck him.
soooo i guess go boston?
