“Oh these are your last babies?” NOMNOMNOMNOM

Also sound design/music in the Mando are fabulous.

That moment when you’re watching something and you go I RECOGNISE HIM… then the penny drops.

Why the F is Cronenberg in STD rofl :smiley:

Screen Junkies Galaxy Quest documentary is up on Amazon Prime. I wooted.

Just watched this Russian plague drama - brutal while tons of fun, much recommend.

The only annoying thing at times is the cameraman who tries to be “artistic” I guess and sometimes you wonder if he was just drunk. Possible, I know.

Oh! I am watching To The Lake. It is interesting. The English dub is kinda bad but the story is good so who cares.

Oh man - NEVER watch a foreign show dubbed, it’s awful. Subtitles all the way. On top of that you learn foreign words :slight_smile:

Yup, you have options re: subtitles on Netflix. That’s how I watched it.

Very different, yet highly recommend this one as well from Netflix: a Finnish TV series (2 seasons so far, there will be a 3rd and final one). Must-watch with subtitles too, as deadpan Finns being deadpan is awesome.

Lego Star Wars Holiday Special

90% of the good jokes are in the trailer so if you’re short on time just watch that and stop there.

I need to see that awful Star Wars Christmas special they did for TV lololol

Mando S2 Ep 4, “The Siege”

Holy crackers this is good Star Wars. Baby Yoda proving to be just a liability as usual but funny as hell. Loving where it looks like they’re going with this. Each ep of S2 feels like a mini movie in its own right.

Almost Human.

Watched it all now. I’m very much a johnny-come-lately to this as it was made and cancelled about 6 years ago I think.

Very good, though for the first few episodes the exposition sidekick is quite annoying. Music by Crystal Method and a Gary Numan track even turns up in it.

Shame there isn’t more of this.

The Mandolorian S2 ep 5:

Best Star Wars movie since Rogue One. Wait what now? :smiley:

Nods to Akira Kurosawa, goes balls deep into SW lore and has a plot hook reveal from nerd heaven. We learn Baby Yoda’s origin which has potential for even more nerdy fun. Rosario Dawson is perfect.

i didnt even watch the latest star war but i binged the mandalorian real quick it’s good shit. its nice to just settle into some worldbuilding/exploring in this universe and not be bound by an action movie plot. thats why i liked the first half of avatar and not the rest of it

Maybe this is blaspheme but I’m kind of disappointed we are encountering the Jedi or hardcore empire at all this early in the story. I really like exploring the world outside of that paradigm.
