Mark Kermode gave this a rave review. And Gerard Buttler being crap is a running joke on that show (hello to Jason Isaacs).

Ha! I think my fave ever Wittertainment in-joke is either when Kermode referred to an airport as 'an aeroplane station'; or when he admitted that he thought 'e-mail' was short for 'emergency mail'.

Selling Sunset is the type of dross I need.

Watched - I Care A Lot  the other night

Enjoyable watch, got a bit rubbish here and there mind, and was not sure that was meant to be the comedy parts.

The fact that Guardians do this kind of thing in the real world is shocking, well maybe not in the world we live in really, but when I was watching it I thought it was

Ha! I don't recall this one but I just 'LOLed' regardless so I thank you for that.

I keep meaning to send them correspondence referring to 'Bruce Springsteen and the Emergency Street Band' - but I can't be bothered.

If memory serves it began as a discussion of "birdsong" which turned into a conversation about actual birdsong, which then somehow led to people sending in clips of bird calls run through tuning software so that they fit into pop songs.

And I have a lot of time for that Springsteen gag.

Watching anvil: what a movie

[priest17]

I know it's been brought up a few times already but just seen Atlanta is on Disney Plus and want to hammer again just how good it is.

I guess we can talk about general media stuff we're binging on, right? Doesn't have to be TV?

I'm really enjoying Louis Theroux's podcast Grounded. The episodes with Jon Ronson, Rylan Clark-Neal and Frankie Boyle are great. A lovely sense of eavesdropping on a conversation between mates.

Agreed, though I thought Oliver Stone was the highlight, especially hearing him talk about serving in Vietnam. Buxton has been good recently too (Stewart Lee and Tony Law).

(There is a podcast thread FYI.)

Just started listening to him, finished the Miriam margolees one, she certainly doesn't hold back on any subject and is very funny. 

Frankie Boyle next on list

Is the MM one good? Is one of the few ones I skipped over.

Yes, I enjoyed it funny and informative, a real eccentric but honest woman. 

The story of the soldier in the tree is classic

Bloody amazing comeback 🙂 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Disney Star is largely "meh" but they do have a few ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries on there. I've seen most of the 30 for 30 series and yet to see a bad one. There are some really fantastic stories among them, even if you're not necessarily into the sport they represent

Apparently Frasier is coming back! Not sure how well it will work without his Dad. No word yet on which cast members will be in it, but I bloody love that show.

I thought Greenland was great, all the clichés you could want from a disaster movie, best one I've seen since The Quake.

Some decent stuff added to Disney+ with High Fidelity being the pick of the movies.
