A new Tremors movie on Netflix!

Tremors: Shrieker Island | Netflix

The first is still the best with Kevin Bacon and Michael Gross. Going to watch it tonight before the debate, and hoping for the best.

It's been a long time since I've seen a movie "opening day", but I think I'm going to fire up Borat after my dog walk.

Watched it, typical fare like the past 2 straight-to-streaming movies. Definitely watch it if you are a Tremors fan, same formula etc.

Watched Borat 2 tonight. I don't know if it was as funny as the first, but it was still pretty funny.

Paid $5 to watch Fisherman's Friends on Prime. It had good reviews and solid star ratings. Tired of watching the free Prime movies lower than 5-star, pickings are getting slim after 6 months of negligible blockbusters.

Enjoyed it, fun movie. Had cc on because some of the accents were difficult to understand.

The end credits talked about what happened after. I didn't realize it was based on a true story.

My wife will sympathize with you on this.

I don't watch movies as much but she assures me that after the top tier, it goes bad fast and she's starting to run out.

We started watching The Good Place and we're about halfway through the first season. I think my expectations were too high. I keep expecting like 300-level discourse and plotting but it's more like 100 and 200 level classes. I get the philosophy part - you can only spoon that out so much to a major tv audience. And it's pretty funny. But it feels like every time they have an opportunity to take a chance or expand the universe, it's smaller that I think it should be for a show with a grand premise. I've been assured it gets better but I'm a bit disappointed so far.

I loved the first season, but if what you want is expanding the universe, things going in different directions, playing with this premise from all angles, stay tuned. They have to establish the world and the rules before they can start blowing it up. By the end, I actually kind of missed the simpler times of the first season.

For those with Amazon Prime, I strongly recommend The Test.

It’s a 12 month documentary following the Australian cricket team, and even (as I assume is likely in the US) you have no interest in cricket, the level of access seems greater than for most other similar series, and the Head Coach is amazing - although I’m hard wired to be anti-Aussie-cricket, Justin Langer is inspirational

Anyone who had any interest in either DuckTales or Darkwing Duck (I never really watched the latter) - the reboot on Disney is really good. They just had an amazing DuckTales/Darkwing Duck crossover episode this past week that was dripping in fanservice.

My wife and I just binged the entire series of The Queens Gambit today.
It follows a young lady who is an orphan and living in a group home. The janitor teaches her chess and the rest is history as they say.

Great show. My wife doesnt know anything about chess and really liked it.

It is a great show. My whole family likes it (rare!), and we've gone through the whole series several times.

Yes, watched it this past weekend and enjoyed it. I felt the ending of the last episode was rushed, could have done with a little more post-script.

Were people talking about Mars on Netflix?

I watched it and thought it was fantastic. It was kind of a drame/documentary. The show interviewed scientists and others from 2016 about what it would take to get to Mars and survive on Mars. Then it showed people getting to Mars and settling it and it followed the 1st scolonists and the organizations back on Earth.

It was a really good show. When the 1st humans took a step on Mars I get chills.

Before Netflix, I never got exposure to foreign TV shows besides the old corny kung fu movies from a loooong time ago. When I traveled overseas, I watched news vs local programming.

K-dramas are definitely overrepresented on Netflix. I enjoyed the zombie Kingdom series but way too much soap'ish type shows. As they seem to be the most prolific, I wish they would do more action, horror, sci-fi, fantasy type movies.

Watching Barbarians now, think it's a German show. Pretty good so far. Looking forward to The Crown s4.

Watched ep1 tonight.

Enjoyed it but the one scene where Kasper "cleaned up" the scene was laughable. Fingerprints everywhere.

Oh wow, thanks for mentioning this one. My wife and sister-in-law watch so many Korean and Indian dramas that my recommendations on Netflix are way out of sync with me, and I had no idea this even existed. Looks great.

My wife and I are enjoying the espionage thriller "Tehran" on Apple TV+. I would highly recommend it to those of you who are fans of that genre. If you don't have Apple TV+, they have a free trial.

Thanks again for the recommendation, I'm into ep 4 and enjoying it.

It's like a Danish West Wing but smaller in scale ... like the country

Watched What Happened to Monday on Netflix today. Would recommend. Couple plot holes, but quite entertaining and a great thought experiment. We all enjoyed it.

With all the bullshit of 2020, the return to once a week TV may be the worst.

The Office for the 9th time. Just hit the end of season 2. That's really the sweet spot for the series although there were jems all the way through.

Bojack Horseman for the 5th time. Need to see the final long season again

We watched sooooo much of The Office during the early stages of the shutdown. The Dinner Party (Season 4) is one of the best episodes of any comedy ever made IMO.

s2 ep1 of Mandalorian was pretty darn good. Enjoyed the "western" flavor to it also and the homage to Dune.

I may have missed it but wish Baby Yoda waved his/her/its hands and did something.

Having worked for years in south central PA, whenever I hear "Letterkenny" I think of the Army depot in Chambersburg. Which leads me to think "oh, so, it's like The Office or something?"

In s2 of Borgen now. It's about a newbie Danish Prime Minister and all she has to go through. I get the movie simplifies and takes some liberties but it's fascinating how different Denmark is from the US.

1) The Prime Minister continues to live in her old house
2) Show her flanked by 2 security personnel when walking in public, and one chase car
3) Her coalition is made up of several different parties, who have their own leadership in ministry positions. I think she has 3 to deal with. She is Moderate and has Workers, Green and one more
4) Those ministry positions are portrayed as pretty independent. Coordination with PM is requested but not always obeyed

I enjoyed one episode where she visits Greenland. They apparently have similar issues with their version of "intuit Indians". Learning a lot about Denmark.

Queen's Gambit was pretty good. I don't know anything about chess but it kept me interested. The time period reminded me of Mad Men and the chess prodigy part of the Bobby Fischer movie. Both of the lead actresses were great.

Watching Cobra Kai now, which is awesome. Just finished season 1. I love the flashbacks to the movie and to when they were young. Hard to believe it's been 35 years.
