Just finished "Legend of Vox Machina Season 2". Mind. Blown. Didn't think they could live up
to Season 1, but they just didn't just live up to it, they might have topped it. Vax's story especially
is just amazing. Please, please let there be a Season 3.
4 episodes left…enjoying it.



TLOU episodes 3 and 4 mostly bored me…..episode 5 kicked it back up thankfully for a little bit….need more of that or it’s just another zombie show…..

Vox - started watching it bc you guys keep mentioning it here.

All Quiet Western Front - good, like others said, a basic straight forward redo of a classic. What I really liked was early on you could tell this was a euro film and not a 600M budget flick. Director/photo had to use a lot of tricks,squeezed every bit out of each set or prop. Camera shots from different angles and distances of the same wall or building .. did a great job for 20M

Ingrid Goes West -- felt like an A24 film that missed its mark a bit. It was good though, just never came close to being really good imo.

The platform - really really good, dark, european movie. highly recommend

Midsommar - swedish indie movie from A24 and the Hereditary director.

Good watch, pretty gripping .. the effects and actors really really nailed the tripping on shrooms feel. I was getting de ja vu.
Fantastic….”I’ll never go on holiday in the woods for spring break” movie……creepy as hell.


Seriously….when the road ended when they were arriving…..my ass is turning around. Nope….see ya.

Other than Max being a little bitch on the regular……pretty drama free season on the track mostly…..Ferrari shitting the bed by pit crew repeatedly, Mercedes tanking…I’m saving it for now…..

Pretty sure it says Little Bitch somewhere on that guy’s birth certificate so that makes sense. Maybe I was just ready to watch Toto implode.

I think that might actually be it, but my brain says I mind holed an interesting Reddit thread

Totally geeking out over Full Swing……just finished the Joel Dahmen episode (4). How can you not love that guy?
I thought it was good, but didn’t reach the same level as F1 Drive to Survive. They needed to really play up the LIV stuff and the animosity it brought, especially with Rory towards the end of last year.

Loved the Joel episode. I think his episode and the Tony Finau episode were the two best. Joel was on Pardon My Take last week and he said Netflix played up the confidence issues quite a bit. Was a good interview. He genuinely seems like a fun guy that the PGA should market towards the more casual golf fans. Love his caddy too lol their relationship was hilarious

See must be an individual love of the sport thing.....I'm hardcore golf, only really watched F1 the last 5 years.

Loved D2S, but Full Swing is another level for me.

Laughed so much at the Dahmen episode. And yeah....how can you not love the brotherhood between him and his caddie? Dude is his biggest fan. Pretty neat.

IGN gives the second Mandaloiran S3 episode a 5 out of 10. Almost a disaster.
Apparently problems with the lighting which make some scenes indecipherable.
Lets hope the series recovers by EP3.

I actually really enjoyed the episode. The lighting was dark for sure, but they also spent the majority of the episode in a damn cave lol
