Whatever licensing (lol) issue that prevented the 007 library from being shown on Prime Video in Canada has been resolved.

So that's what I'll be doing for the next few months. So much cheese, so much fun.

Finishing up season 2 of My Hero Academia.

I've been catching up on shows in the Walking Dead universe. Finished the original TWD finally... Now watching FTWD, just started season 7 and I'm not sure how I feel about it so far, but I will say I love the addition of Omid Abtahi to the cast and hope he sticks around; been a fan since he was in American Gods.

When I catch up with Fear, I guess I will give World Beyond a chance, although I've heard nothing good about it... but it looks like it only lasted 20 episodes and with absolutely 0 expectations maybe if it's more than a steaming pile of shit, I'll like it haha

Then it'll be the 2 new spin-offs, Dead City (Negan & Maggie) and Darryl Dixon... in France apparently?

I did that at the start of covid when everyone was confined indoors. Growing up, I always though Sean Connery and Roger Moore were the best Bonds and Timothy Dalton was the worst because his movies were so "serious and too realistic". It's funny how much that opinion has changed over the years.

So does anyone watch Upload? Looks like the first couple episodes of Season 3 are finally out.

I'm in the midst of rewatching, just got to Season 2. I'm not usually into women with short hair, but Nora... got damn that smile is just perfect.

I really love teh relationship between Luke and Aleesha, they're hilarious. I'd watch a series of their hijinks.

Been meaning to watch the Initial D series for almost 20 years. Actually maybe just over.

Doing so now. I need escape from reality of hockey. XD

I'm thinking of doing a trip to Italy with my partner next Spring. Had just the tiniest slightest oh-so-small trepidation because maybe the Flames would be good, but that's disappeared pretty quickly lol.

I was flipping through YouTube and sometimes they have free movies on there and I found one called "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot" starring Sam Elliot that caught my eye.

It's surprisingly not as silly as the title would suggest, at least not until it got to the Bigfoot part.

I just watched one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, The Gullspång Miracle. The story just is so crazy and weird, and I think I can't say wtf really happened. I you have a chance to watch this, don't read any reviews to avoid spoilers. The summary at Rotten tomatoes page is enough I think.

The Gullspång Miracle

A divine premonition leads two sisters to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, the seller looks identical to their older sister who died by suicide 30 years earlier. What begins as an eerie story of family reunification soon becomes a Pandora's Box as all...

Bump.

I want to recommend Wild Cards if you like "buddy cop" type shows. It's a CBC/CW show that premiered last season and the first episode of Season 2 just aired in the past week. It's similar to White Collar in the sense that it is a cop and a criminal that was caught working together, but it's more ight hearted like Castle.

It stars Vanessa Morgan (Max) and Giacomo Gianiotti (Ellis) in the leads, with Jason Priestly as a secondary character, playing Max's father.

I’m very late to the party, but Ted Lasso is a pretty f***ing good show.

I would then recommend Welcome to Wrexham, if you already hasn't watched that.
