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

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

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

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.

How was Salem's lot?
- I liked it! We listened to the book recently on a couple of road trips. The book is long and they couldn't fit everything in, but the movie otherwise stuck pretty closely to it.
We just finished An American Werewolf in London tonight. I haven't watched it in probably 30+ years. Hubby had never seen it. It held up as entertaining!

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

I LOVE antiques roadshow
- Which version?
  
  My only gripe with those shows is they are hard to look away from which is counterproductive to sleep usually.

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

My head hurts just thinking about that
- Why?

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!"

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.

Mindhunter on Netflix. I'm hooked!

An old musical: 1776. I have that memorized!

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.

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.

Movies

No movies watched this week.

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.

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

The Gentlemen is pretty dope.

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 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.
