This past week I started watching two new shows. David Blaine: Do Not Attempt and Deli Boys. Not sure why the David Blaine show has a 7.8 on IMDB. I didn’t think it was that interesting. There isn’t any of his usual illusions/magic, and instead it’s more him performing stunts. Just feels to me like someone with a lot of money hiring the best people to help him accomplish a stunt which isn’t as dangerous anymore since he’s hired the best people to overlook the whole thing. Like when Tom Cruise does his own stunts in movies, you know he’s not in danger.
Deli Boys on the other hand is fun and silly, I’m like it.
The new season of The Handmaid’s Tale also just started. It’s been so long since the last season I forgot what the storyline was and so found the first episode boring. Not gonna continue watching it unless it’s background TV.
Need to start watching The Studio as well as the new season of Hacks. Black Mirror is out today. Oh and I watched the finale of The Kardashians and White Lotus. White Lotus was great, The Kardashians, not so much. This season of The Kardashians was just super boring and not as funny as the previous seasons. All the scenes that involved Lamar or anything dealing with that story line was just incredibly boring. Then they brought it back again for the last episode? CRINGE
Anyway, have you watched anything interesting lately? Let us know in the comments.

Paradise was surprisingly good.
Just watched the first episode, wow!
Just finished it. Its great!
Was white lotus season 3 better than season 2? I thought season 2 was great. Still haven’t gotten around to 3 yet.
hmmm maybe the same, hard to tell cuz they’re so different. I’m a huge fan of Walton Goggins (Vice Principals) so really loved his character on the show. And Patrick Schwarzenegger was also great, him and Aimee Lou Wood were my second favorite actors/actresses.
Recently watched,
-The Electric State (The original picturebook was so much better than this movie, and I only read an excerpt for it on Apple Books!)
-Titans S2 (Better than Pennyworth S2, but still felt like the overly-serious BS of Zack Snyder’s DC movies)
-Batwoman S01E01-E05 (Better pacing and storytelling compared to Titans)
-Adolescence (one of the best miniseries on Netflix in terms of acting and cinematography, but its short episode count leaves out the opportunity for better, more richer storytelling)
-Piece by Piece (an interesting cinematic experiment that could’ve delved deeper into Pharrell Williams’s life and career, but since this was a Lego movie aimed for kids and families, there probably were things that maybe couldn’t have been added to the story. It felt about as cookie-cutter as the Stan Lee documentary, “Stan Lee”)
TV:
– managed to catch up on Bosch: Legacy
– The Handmaid’s Tale final season has a slow start, hope it’s better than the prev. one
