The last thing you expect - or want - to find in your luxury Air BnB is a dead body. But when I.M. 'Fletch' Fletcher (Jon Hamm) stumbles over a woman's corpse, his investigative journalist skills kick in - not least to try and clear his own name after the police decide he's the prime … Continue reading Confess, Fletch (2022)
The first series of Only Murders was an unexpected joy, fast becoming a can't-wait-to-binge highlight of my week. Three residents of an impressive, upper-class, old New York apartment building meet during the evacuation following the murder of one of their neighbours. Bonding over a shared love of true crime podcasts, they decide to start their … Continue reading Only Murders in the Building (season 2)
'Weird' Al Yankovic was something of a novelty act in the 1980s, releasing parody versions of famous songs e.g. Eat It (Beat It), My Bologna (My Sharona), I Love Rocky Road (Rock'n'Roll). I'm sure his success surprised even him, but the man - the legend - continues recording to this day. And now it's time … Continue reading Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)
I have more than reached the point of "Urgh, not another Marvel TV show", if I'm being honest. And frankly, Hulk is probably my least-favourite character, smart version or otherwise. But, seeing this was only a half-hour show, I figured I'd give it an episode. And... it's fun. Ooh - there's what's been missing through … Continue reading She Hulk (season 1)
Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) is my kind of person. A writer, struggling with her new novel, reclusive until her publicist drags her on a book tour. Worse, the cover model (Channing Tatum) from her hugely popular bonk-lit series has been booked for the tour, too. However, Loretta isn't just a 'women's fiction' writer: she's in … Continue reading The Lost City (2022)
When a murder occurs in an upper-class New York apartment building, three neighbours meet and discover a shared love of true-crime podcasts. And when they have a real case literally on their doorsteps, why not dramatise their own mystery?! As the three strangers (Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez) work together to unravel the crime, … Continue reading Only Murders in the Building (season 1)
Following Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), which I thought was hugely fun, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), which I wasn't quite as keen on, we're back with a prequel to the series detailing how the Kingsman agency was first set up. It's the early years of the twentieth century, and unrest is brewing across … Continue reading The King’s Man (2021)
Welcome to Free City. It's here that Guy (Ryan Reynolds) works as a bank teller, dealing cheerfully with the daily hold-ups and naively blind to all the mayhem and destruction constantly going around. That is, until he meets the woman of his dreams, steals a pair of sunglasses, and suddenly sees... everything. Because Free City … Continue reading Free Guy (2021)
While I would never say that Suicide Squad (2016) was a great movie, I didn't seem to hate it quite as much as the rest of the world. And now it seems I really don't love the slightly-sequel-y reboot anywhere near as much as everyone else. Seriously, people are raving about this like it's the best comic … Continue reading The Suicide Squad (2021)
A bit on the late side, but here we are! Following the climax of the Infinity Saga and 'Phase 3', the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) decided to take over the small screen. Sure we've had forays with Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, but both of those - the former in particular - suffered by … Continue reading WandaVision (season 1)
