Yesterday I posted that Wicked was not technically banned in Kuwait, despite reports from some media outlets. The local censors have now approved the GCC version of the movie, and it’s currently showing in Kuwait starting today.
This week I started watching Landman after a friend recommended. Wow it’s such a good show! I think my favorite series this year and definitely currently enjoying it more than the new Dune. Landman stars Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore. It’s streaming on Paramount+.
I rented the movie The Wild Robot since my wife wanted to watch it, it was surprisingly really good.
Let me know in the comments what you recently watched or planning to watch.

I can personally relate to Landman. Next 2 weeks Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas yeehaw
Watched The Wild Robot with my son this week – really good story.
But at times it seemed like they skimmed through how the bonds between the characters were developed – maybe they wanted to pack in as much as possible from the three books into the first movie?
Still a recommended watch, fun and family friendly.
Definitely agree about Landman. Very well written.
This week I have also been binge watching The Resident – despite my weak stomach and turning away every time an operation is on screen. It can be a bit holier than though, but again very well written in the way that characters develop.
Also, I watched the following movies:
– Reagan. It was ok but could have been much deeper.
– The Choice (2016). Much potential but a weak plot.
