What's everybody been watching lately?
I've been catching up on some TV shows I should have watched long ago like Fargo, and Starz has a new western series about Billy the Kid which has been fairly decent and the new season of Justified which came out last year.

The Expanse on Amazon was solid sci fi. I enjoyed it. I have heard some good things about that Billy the Kid series.

I've definitely enjoyed the Billy the Kid Show, although it's been more of a casual watch. There's been so many movies made about Billy the Kid---Young Guns I and 2, Pat Garett and Billy the Kid, the Kid, the Left Handed Gun, Gore Vidal's Billy the Kid---that was an odd one, and now this, that it's hard for there to be any real suspense. Unless they pull a Tarintino and just re-write history, you sort of know where everything is headed.
Just watched Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. One of De Niro's best roles in a while as the villain, and good overall movie, but the ending felt a little off to me.

I've been watching The Boys(season 2), Stranger Things(the most recent season, 4 I think?) and the new Monarch series that spun off from the recent Godzilla movies.
I've been wanting to watch Killers of the Flower Moon. Actually got the book not too long ago...I'll read it at some point.

I liked Stranger Things a lot more than I thought I would.

Lol my wife is obsessed with Stranger Things. Last year they had one of those pop-up stores near Dallas/FW when we were in the area and we went to it. Trippy experience.
I want to see the new Godzilla Minus One flick soon. Seems like it just came out of nowhere and started getting great reviews.

It was supposed to only be a one week run, but it did so well they added a second. I think it might be over now though. For your sake I hope not.
Can't wait for that to come out on 4K.

Got all caught up on season two of Reacher. I never watched the Tom Cruise movies, and now it may be hard to as this guy in the series owns that role for me now, also, Cruise seems way too small to be Reacher as described in the books. Really good show, keeps it simple, like an 80s action movie turned into a TV series. Robert Patrick is the big bad guy in S2.

I've definitely liked the Reacher series. The Tom Cruise movies were good but very different. This TV series is a lot closer to the books and that character. www.imdb.com/name/nm2024927/ Definitely owns the role. |

Seen some youtube interviews with him as well, he's a Christian, and not just casually, so big points, especially in this day and age. |

Season 2 blew season 1 out of the water for popularity. They are already working on season 3 for Reacher.

Season 2 blew season 1 out of the water for popularity. They are already working on season 3 for Reacher. Just finished season 2 yesterday. I would rank it slightly above season one but both were great. Starting season 2 of Bosch Legacy now. Have enjoyed the Bosch series a good deal over the years--7 seasons of the original series and now 2 of this sequel series. Just a good old fasioned detective show with some noir-ish elements and a great main character. |

I just started season 1 last week after Doc was talking it up the other week. Very intriguing start.

I finally finished season 4 of Stranger Things over the weekend. Reacher continues to be fantastic.

I need to finally watch Stranger Things with the wife one of these days. It's been one of "her shows" forever. When we were in Texas a few years ago we even went to one of those little pop-up stores they had at a mall near Dallas.
Most recently watched a movie called Finestkind starring Tommy Lee Jones being an old salty badass (although he doesn't get enough screen time) and his two kids being likable but general morons whose dumbassery pull him into the kind of things these sorts of movies generally result in. Was a decent time killer.

I watched Sisu this past week.
What an insane movie. A WW2 epic meets Roadrunner vs Wile Coyote type story, that is, if the Roadrunner was also the supernatural Ghost of Rambo and Wile Coyote was a platoon of Nazis who get dealt with quicker than an eastern European gangster who side-eyes John Wick's dog. Wild movie. Quite enjoyable if you're up for the ride.
