Seems like an interesting topic that other boards have. What are you currently watching? Recommendations? Recently I saw Wicked and really enjoyed it. I am also binging American Horror Story and am on season 5; Hotel. I also like British cop shows like Prime Suspect, Cracker, and the Level. Also Inspector Lewis is a good British cop show. Inspector Morse is the original. I liked Yellowstone and 1923 as well.
 
Shrinking is probably my favorite new show. Sadly, two of my recent favorites just ended, Somebody Somewhere and What We Do In the Shadows. Both are fantastic. I've watched a ton of good films too. Too many to list. Same with shows.
 
Waiting on the last few episodes of Cobra KI. Outer Banks as well. Last Kingdom is a good show . Yellowstone and 1923( although waiting to see if the ever do a season 2) and Tulsa king is good .

Yellowjackets was pretty good. High school girls soccer team crashes in the mountains and goes all Lord of the Flies.
 
Well, in our house it's a combination of 3 movies in no particular order. Frozen, Frozen II and Moana. And then tomorrow it will be Frozen, Frozen II and Moana. If we're lucky we can get some Mickey Mouse fun house or some Olaf Presents.
 
Ghost, you're lucky it's not Bluey. My grandchildren watch Bluey 24/7. It's a cartoon about Australian Blue Healers which are apparently dogs. They all sound like Proctor! :D

We watched all seasons of Endeavor which Chris mentioned above, now watching Dalgliesh on British TV. Cerebral detective series.

If you haven't watched Ron Livingston's series Loudermilk on Prime Video, you have got to watch it. Don't give up after the first show. It is sooooo good! Short episodes, very funny and also poignant.
 
It took me an episode or two to realize Endeavor was a Morse prequel. At first I was like damn there are a lot of murders around Oxford University.

Man of Steel was ok. Too much CGI. I havent heard of those shows but I like McBride. I like the early 2000s Spider Mans and the Dark knight movies.

To be clear, I mean the four-hour cut of Justice League on Max. Not that piece of shit that came out in theaters. And Christopher Reeve is my favorite Superman. I just really loved Cavill, too. I want him to be the next Bond. The new Christopher Reeve documentary is excellent, but have tissues readily available.

McBride is such a talented dude. I love the first two Spider-Man films and Nolan's trilogy, but I'm a fan of a ton of comic book films. Sin City and V for Vendetta are two of my favorites. It would be too many to list if I start listing them all, haha

I recently finished Tulsa King and it was really good. Currently watching Sopranos for the first time (I know I'm late) and it's incredible.

Some of my all time favorites...
Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, We Own This City, White Lotus.
The Wire is the greatest show ever IMO.
 
Check out Goodrich and Ghostlight—two criminally underseen films from this year. Also, for horror fans, I recommend Strange Darling and The Substance.

Ehhh not sure of that Superman trailer
Krypto the superdog? Definitely going for a lighter tone. We will see. Nice hearing the John Williams theme.

One of the most hilarious series of all time. Lasted just about the right amount of time. The first season was filmed here in Wilmington, maybe part of the 2nd as well. Don't remember. Pretty cool seeing some of the old school Wilmington bars on TV.
I'm watching it over again for probably the 6th or 7th time. I plan on watching Vice Principals again after I finish this. And I cannot wait for the new season of Gemstones. John Goodman can do no wrong.
 
Dune 2 review.
Denis Villenueve is one of my favorite directors. Like Christopher Nolan, he just doesn't make bad movies. Prisoners, Enemy, Arrival, Sicario, Blade Runner 2049; all stellar. Dune is a book I tried to read in the 90's but I found it dull and complicated. But it is considered a sci fi classic. DV does a good job of simplifying/streamlining the story. The visuals are amazing; this is cutting edge stuff. Not a big fan of Timothee Chalamet; he is the weak link in the cast. Otherwise it's a very compelling film, if a little long and confusing. Worth a watch.
