What would Joe Bob Briggs say about it? Since any aardvarking is highly unlikely, probably nothing at all.

The Strays on Netflix 3/5.



A light-skinned Black woman's meticulously crafted life of privilege starts to unravel when two strangers show up in her quaint suburban town.

Does anyone recall Joe Bob's funny reviews?

I guess it depends on the newspaper you read, back in the days when folks did so.

Currently binging on "The Incredible Dr. Pol." Mostly fives with a few fours or four pluses.

Damn! Are any of them "Zip Lock" bags? That's what I use if I'm traveling with a bulk blend.

Don't Be a Sucker, narrated by Lloyd Nolan.
3 out of 5. 5/5 for historical interest.

The Banshees of Inisherin - absolutely terrible; irredeemable. 1/5

I'm glad I'm not the only who thought that was unwatchable.

This was surprisingly good! 5/5

I binge watched Poker Face on Peacock, a brilliantly funny and dark detective series starring Natasha Lyonne, who starred in Russian Doll, as a sort of drifter hiding out from the Mob, who has an uncanny ability to tell when people are lying. Very well written, novel plotting and stories, and excellent casting.

5 out of 5

The Criterion Channel is running a series of films with Marylin Monroe, starting with early films where she's a featured player and continuing with her iconic starring vehicles. The early films are interesting because she is cast in parts that show her considerable range before she became a sex symbol. Well worth perusing.

5 out of 5

Over the last 2 nights I binged on 'A Confession', the dramatization of the true story of how Wiltshire police managed to track the killer of 2 young women several years apart.

Starring Martin Freeman in the lead role, it was an excellent watch of six 1 hour episodes courtesy of ITVX.

A well deserved 5/5.

Regards,

Jay.

I had not heard of this one, but I'm a Martin Freeman fan, so I'll check it out.

Sable, on Poker Face. I heard/read reviews like yours and two episodes in, it just didn't click with me.

On YouTube I am watching "D=Day Hour by Hour", This show consists of 24 one-hour episodes that cover each of the first twenty-four hours of the invasion as it happened. Recommended to all history buffs!!!

5/5

It’s been out since ‘21, but just saw CODA. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. It’s a coming of age comedy drama using deaf actors to play the deaf characters. It’s about a 17 yr old student (only hearing member of the family), who helps her family bridge the gap to the hearing world, but struggles w/her new awakened desire to pursue her own dreams. 4.5/5

Watched a brilliant documentary on PBS America last night about the history of the Zeppelin airships that started bombing London in the early days of WWI.

It took the allies a while to come up with a worthwhile deterrent in the shape of a 'burning bullet' which successfully brought down many of them.

I've watched some great stuff on that channel and this was right up there, well worthy of 5/5 from this viewer.

Regards,

Jay.

Watched "Hannah" on Netflix (5/5), great action movie!

"Drops of God" on Apple TV+. Apparently based on a Japanese manga series. It's beautifully photographed and acted. A 5/5 if you have any interest in wine, France, Japan or contests.
