Netflix recommendations

Alison Brie surely
Whoops! Yes of course. Though not an excuse, both have been on community.
She looks so much younger than she was on community, and so much older than she is on glow.

I'm really loving it, suprise hit for me. It was you who pushed me on past ep1, so thanks for that!
 
Mr Right, highly recommended if you like Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendricks. Which I do.

90 minutes, quirky and original hitman comedy, Tim Roth/Anson Mount/James Ransome provide different levels of badguyness.

It's silly as fuck, but I enjoyed it. Good Sunday afternoon job
 
First episode of the new (and last ever) season of The Good Place is now up :)

ETA: unless you have photographic memory I strongly recommend watching the last episode of S3 first. So much better than relying on the short recap at the beginning of S4, which misses a lot.

Thanks for the heads up, I think we will do this. Not the wife, she out, says they blew it after season two, but me and the kid are still interested.

I liked it, but couldn't quite get over the mismatch of the leads . . So wrong. A hitman that was her age would be wrong, but an older actress could have been excellent.
 
Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates

A three-part documentary. I've only watched the first part and it's a strange thing: part biography, part hagiography, part a son's lament for his dead mother, and a whole lot about actual literal shit.
 
She was 30 when she made this.
Maybe so, but he's still 20 years older and her character does not look at all like she is playing 30 plus with her roommate and lifestyle. I just didn't buy it. I'm sure they might have been able to do it with some tweaks.
 
Tonight we watched the tall girl.
I thought it was absolute shit, but my 12 year old daughter was bonkers for this tame school romance outcast drama.

Hopefully we can now move on to shite 80s teen drama I missed out on like 16 candles, breakfast club, and pretty in pink. Then I can finally call up all my old friends and start getting in with the cool kids who actually got to go to the cinema.

How was it for a 12 year old girl? It's a path up a mountain getting young people to watch what you like.

I think she really liked it. I was getting sushed a lot. Even though she is far from tall she related to the high school romance, and contrived outsider story.
 
Don't I know it.
First film ever she was visibly jubilant at an on screen kiss rather than hiding. Times, they are a changing.
All the Ghibli films are good, Pixar, Mean Girls, Breakfast Club etc., Captain Marvel (and Captain America apparently...and anything with Hugh Jackman).

Half of stuff is for girls now. Big Little Lies, AHS, Godless, OITNB, Orphan Black, Fleabag, Killing Eve. All quality stuff. Too much for a 12 year old but it's a different age...times have certainly changed. We're old.

She's done every Ghibli since being about three. She used to be a mini Kiki every Halloween, and even asked me to make her a new broom this year.
Mean girls might be a good call, I think I have the dvd form my past film review days.
 
The Politician.

Watching E1.

Imagine a biopic of Cameron and Johnson crossed with Beverly Hills 90210.

Well, this is kinda that.

I'm not sure whether it's good or if I like it. But it's sorta compelling.
 
We finished The Politician. Rather liked it, very watchable. It’s not a teenage series despite most of the main leads being teenagers in case anyone was being put off by the possibility of that being the case.

Its tone is purposefully ambiguous; sometimes satire, sometimes drama, occasionally farcical or surreal. But it works, and it gets better as the series progresses. I guess you could attempt to describe as Desperate Housewives set on a high school for the rich, and directed by Wes Anderson. If nothing else it ridicules the rich upper crust of American society. Recommended.
 
One of us.
Documentary about 3 New Yorkers trying to leave their Hasidic lives behind. I find it compelling though it only had a 2 star rating.

Don't confuse it with the spy drama of the same name
