  • Stranger Things Review: The Whole Series

    Stranger Things Review: The Whole Series

    What a series. What an ending. Yes it’s kind of horror, but more a thriller. Hard to believe that it’s been going for 10 years. Granted we had a global pandemic that caused it to be that long as well between some seasons. I finished the Stranger Things series finale last night with probably half…

  • Knives Out Number One: A Review

    Knives Out Number One: A Review

    Last night I watched the first Knives Out movie, finally, with the Mere. It was so good. I do have to admit I don’t like Daniel Craig using an accent other than his posh British accent, it was shocking when I first heard his weird southern draw. But other than that the movie was superb.…

  • F1: The Movie

    F1: The Movie

    Such a good movie. Hard to watch with my PTSD from journalism. Didn’t think it would trigger my PTSD. But one scene (no spoiler) certainly did. Still a really good movie. 4.5/5 rating (IMHO) Brad Pitt still has it. Great movie.

  • The Superintellgent Podcast Is So Good

    The Superintellgent Podcast Is So Good

    From talking about how smart tech is rotting our brains to talking about how corrupt big tech is, Emily Forlini and Mike Elgan make such a great power co-host team on the Superintelligent Podcast. Their latest is about how more and more younger people are turning away from smart phones and going to flip phones.…

  • Thoughts On “Nobody Wants This” Season 2

    We just finished “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 on Netflix. It looks like they’re hoping for a 3rd season. Lots of loose ends to tie up, but it wasn’t nearly as good as the first season. That’s for sure. Sometimes stories are best left to one season where it tied up pretty good. We’ll see…

  • NationSquid YouTube Channel Is Superb

    This YouTube channel is really good. [gmwd.us/nationsqu…](https://gmwd.us/nationsquid) He covers all kinds of interesting topics and his series on decades really gets the Anthropology student in me excited. As much as I knock the algorithm for being overly aggressive at times, it does surface interesting channels.

  • Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

    Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

    Just saw this great documentary (part one of two) on Billy Joel — Billy Joel: And So It Goes. He is such a talented guy and his music is amazing. I never knew how autobiographical his songs were. This documentary really makes me appreciate his music even more than I did before. ​The first part…

  • Pirates of the Caribbean 3rd Installment Was Too Long!

    The 3rd Pirates Of The Caribbean could have been 2 hrs or less. My God it was a long one. I walked out of the living room and didn’t even finish it. The 12 yr old loved it, though. The next two are shorter, so that’s good. When is a film franchise large enough? I…

  • The Pirates Of The Caribbean Is Great!

    The First Pirates Of The Caribbean movie was excellent. I have no idea how I haven’t seen any of them. This one came out in 2003! I was a junior in college. Maybe that’s why. I watched it for the first time last night with the kiddo and the wife. Superb. And I do have…

  • After All These Year — Jurassic Park Still Has It!

    Jurassic Park (the original one) is still al great movie after all these years. I watched it with the 12 yr old tonight and the wife. It it was a good as the last time I saw it years ago. The CG, which was top notice and innovative, back in the 1990s hasn’t held up,…
