So I’ve been watching the excellent Under the Vines on ABC iView. And while I’m only a few episodes in, already I suddenly want to buy a winery.
Actually it’s not just the fault of the brilliant performances from Rebecca Gibney and Charles Edwards (to name a couple) on the show, I know this sudden desire to own a winery and work on vineyards is far more deep rooted than just my recent couch time…
We’re trekking back to 1996 today when I was a young, sprightly 16 year old trying to get every girl in my class to look my way and enjoy my rapid fire witticism with poor results.
And while I watched a lot of movies both on the big and rather small one back then including classics like Lawnmower Man and Independence Day, I had no idea a Doctor Who TV movie had been released featuring two Doctors and more leather than a Gucci handbag factory. (I’ll get to that in a sec.)
But I’ve come across that 90’s snap shop of leather and aviator shades now in 2024 and having made myself comfy for my very first viewing last night, I’m wondering about Eric Roberts in the role of the master. With the question of top of the list being: what the hell?
Sigh, I suppose the show had to run out of track at some stage. I’ve just finished the forth and last season of Snowpiercer and while I enjoyed it, like the first few seasons it did leave me with some burning questions.
Yes indeed passengers, there will be some Snowpiercer spoilers on the journey ahead (if you haven’t seen the last season yet), but if you have watched it all, maybe you could shed some light on things for me?
I love wrestling as a kid and now in 2024 while it still holds a smallish yet special place in my heart, I’ve come to learn I actually like the stories, adventures and lore behind the scenes than what happens in the squared circle more often than not.
Then came along the excellent Vice series Dark Side of the Ring that really ripped back the covers and forced me to discover that my fuzzy wrestling memories were a lot darker than I could ever imagine. Even savagely bleak at times.
Still that hasn’t stopped me getting right into things (and onto Who Killed WCW which is equally as good!) and today I’m going to share my 5 big take aways after watching many stories of wrestlers and wrestling in general going completely and utterly off the rails…
Dear streaming services of the world. First let it be known that I love what you do. Content on demand, gripping series and the occasional deep thought documentary? Sign me up baby! No I’m writing to you all today with a simple suggestion that I feel will improve what you do to no end, something I’m sure I’m not the only stream consumer that will benefit from..
It’s been a while since I last sat down and watched Wayward Pines from start to finish but boy am I glad I did, having forgotten how brilliant this series actually was. Although as usual after watching pretty much anything, I have some questions…
Today class, we’re discussing streaming.
Originally this was going to be one of those random thought posts where I wax lyrical on anything and everything. Only after writing for a bit, I realised most of my thoughts were aimed squarely in the direction of the TV behind me and everything streamed to it recently. So welcome to what I’ve been watching and in one particular case, a show I still wouldn’t watch even if I somehow ended up on it..
