What's worth streaming on TV.

[Budgie]

'ello guv'nor!

I just did a search and no one mentioned it so thanks!

It seemed familiar then I realised I have Apple. (woohoo)

Watched the trailer and I reckon I'll give it a look. I like seeing the English actors from other shows. The Journo (?) is the main guy from little Britain and the 'star' soccer player is from Gervais' "Derek"...etc.

Those initial "fish out of water" comedies can sometimes be lame but this looks like it's done right.

Ta!

Yep. Thought I'd hate it. Worried it'd be cheesy American. But the English balance is perfect. Funny with real heart.

So, you 'boomers'* will probably scoff at this, but I have never seen any of the Godfather movies. That is, until the last week. The first one was great, the second pretty good. The third I am currently watching and it is not living up to the first two, but is still OK.

Sounds as though the original books would have been rippers to read (and probably still are, but there are movies so why bother).

*Apparently, to those <18 years old, everyone >30 years old is a boomer. So I guess I am one too.

There is probably a heap of 60's & 70's movies you haven't watched and have missed out on the experience of seeing them.

I’m sure of it. Any recommendations?

Sort of depends what you are in to? Old movies like Zulu, Khartoum, The Bedford Incident, The Sting, The Taking of Pelham 123 (the original), Cape Fear (the original), Cool Hand Luke, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, The Odd Couple and the list goes on

Went to a Dendy theatre last weekend and watched the movie Paris, Texas. Make in 1984?

Wonderful film with a couple really good scenes when they are at the peep show. Very happy to have seen it on the big screen.

You've probably all said it and it's on Apple not Netflix but just discovered, binged, and absolutely adored Ted Lasso.

It also just received 20 Emmy nominations - so it's well liked!

Binged watched Dr. Death last night on Stan. Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater are great in this true and disturbing series. If you’re not outraged by the end, there’s something wrong with you.

Ok, I’ve just signed up for ANOTHER streaming service on the advice of my pommy mother. It’s called Britbox. I reckon the Poms do cop shows and comedy the best. She’s tipped me to watch a series called "The Moorside". So I’ll have a gander and report back. Tally-ho, must go.

Doco on famous drummers. Some classic stuff. And some hard rocking chicks as well. Loved it.

For Letterkenny fans:

Shoresy
In June 2021, Bell Media announced a Letterkenny spin-off Shoresy based on the eponymous character played by Jared Keeso. The series will be written by Keeso and directed by Jacob Tierney.

Shoresy is a Canadian television comedy series, slated to premiere on Crave in the 2021-22 television season. A spinoff of Letterkenny, the series will focus on the character of Shoresy as he moves to Northern Ontario to take a role with a struggling Triple A-level hockey team.

Shoresy is played by Jared Keeso in Letterkenny, but is only seen in contexts that obscure his face as Keeso simultaneously plays the leading role of Wayne.

Producers New Metric Media have not yet clarified whether Keeso will perform the role in Shoresy as well, or whether it will be recast.

Justin Stockman of Bell Media explained the decision to proceed with a Shoresy spinoff by noting that he is one of the most popular characters in Letterkenny merchandising, and acknowledging the creative potential involved in building on the story of a character about whom very little is known in the original show.
