I'm not a big 80s Metal/Hair band guy but there's an awesome 3 part docuseries on that era on Paramount Plus called Nothing But a Good Time.  I watched the first installment so far and it was pretty wild.  I'm pumped to watch part 2 tonight lol

Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughn on AppleTV is very good.  Highly recommended.

Wife and I started watching it this week. Way better than expected even with the usual Vince Vaughn shtick. Props to the writers for injecting one of the funniest bits into episode 2 aimed directly at the streamer platforms (without spoiling...don't skip over the recap at the beginning of episode 2)

Watched the Zodiac doc today. Crazy how they couldn't pin this guy down with anything. Clearly, it was him.

2 episodes in to The Jackal on Peacocok and it is well done so far.

Was really looking forward to Blitz on Apple TV+...meh, not bad but nothing special either. 

 

Two out of four stars.

I've read and seen just about everything about the Zodiac and there is no question that the guy was Ash.......they had all the clues that it was him and just couldn't pin him down on any of it.

 

Also, that Zodiac Netflix documentary was done excellently and i highly recommend to anyone to watch it.

The Kings of Topelo, a 3 part crime documentary on Netflix, is one of the most interesting and freaking bizarre things I have watched in a long time.  
 

I really don’t want to give anything away so I won’t.  Just watch it.  I’ve watched it twice since last week.  Very well done. 👍

This is a crazy, true story. Thx for the recommendation.

Just watched episode one of American Primeval on Netflix.... there is a five minute single shot continuous action scene that will really catch you by surprise.

 

The American West at that time period sure does not look like the place to be.....yikes.

Pretty intense show. I have a few Mormon friends who are, let's just say, not pleased with this series.

That’s exactly where I am now, 2 episodes in. I decided to wait for my wife and I re-watched them with her last night, only to realize she had fallen asleep at some point. I may be watching episode #2 for the third time!  😂 

 

I’m enjoying it so far, thought it took me a few minutes to figure out what’s what and who’s who.

Not a movie, but I enjoyed Troppo, series, 2 seasons, Amazon

Well this looks light and fun.

American Manhunt - OJ Simpson on Netflix was a good watch.  Four episode miniseries.   I had forgotten a lot of the details, as I was in HS when it all happened.  Interesting to hear all the evidence that was not presented in court.  Including the man who witnessed OJ ditching the knife at the airport.  
 

Also, I’m positive OJ did it (of course), but I’m also pretty sure the police planted and manipulated evidence.

…and the son was a curious guy to overlook, it seemed. I don’t know what the hell happened, but I wouldn’t be surprised if what actually happened was significantly different in some way than the story in our heads. 

 

It could have been two guys from the grassy knoll.  🤷‍♂️

The level of pure physical strength and brutality required to pull off the acts leads me to believe it had to be OJ.  Also, all the blood he left at the scene and brought with him in the Bronco and to his house.  lol

 

He didn’t like Nicole flaunting around in that hot black dress.  I think he was stalking her all evening while she was at dinner with her family, went to the house to confront her, and (as his agent stated at the end) Nicole pulled out a knife to defend herself.  This sent Juice into a fit of rage, and Ron Goldman just showed up at the wrong time.  I do suspect that Nicole and Ron were likely more than just acquaintances though.  😉

Man…if you’re not watching Severence on AppleTV, you don’t know what you’re missing.  Currently in S2.  The release a new episode every Friday.  Just finished E3 last night.  I wasn’t sure how they’d build off of S1, but the first few episodes of S2 have been absolutely brilliant.
