I finished this a month or so ago, but decided to jot down a couple of thoughts before this totally escapes me.  As I am going through a wrestling phase again (what am I? I teenager? jeez...), I came across this show on Netflix.The story starts 1985 LA. Ruth Wilder is a struggling actress who auditions for a wrestling circuit called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). She and GLOW's director

 2024 was a very Wrestling year.  I came across a few documentaries and docuseries on Netflix about the WWE (aka WWF when I was a kid), and this kind of kickstarted my interest in watching additional content with this kind of theme. Once I finished the various documentaries, I started watching Heels, which follows two brothers who have inherited a small-town wrestling circuit, the Duffy Wrestling

Many TV shows I let ripen in my "to watch" queue for months (sometimes a semester, sometimes a year...).  This one I watched as soon as it was released on Netflix last month, and it didn't disappoint!On the one hand the formula is well known for this kind of film. There is someone from the future that sends back someone (or some machine) to the past so that they can save the future.  Spoiler

Here's a fun watch from earlier this month.  It's KAOS and it's on Netflix!  What is it? KAOS answers the question of what if the Ancient Olympian Gods (you know, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, and the gang) were real and what if they were still around today?  What would their lives (and ours as mere mortals) looks like?And, on top of that, what if the folks we see in Greek mythology, like Eurydice,

 Danger Will Robinson!Here's another Netflix remake, and this one is quite good (compared to both the original and the motion picture of the late 90s).  The story (predictably, for anyone who had a vague recollection of the original) follows the Robinsons who are...lost in space.  They are part of a colonization project, and I guess people are leaving earth because we've 🤬it up...again

This one is a Netflix original where humans make first contact! Or, rather, someone makes first contact with us (the Achaia). After they land a ship (or probe) on our planet (which looks like a quicksilver infinity sign) and we set out into the cosmos to meet them. I guess we want to welcome them to the neighborhood?Anyway, we send The Salvare to make first contact, only to find out that the civilization

Some more TV watching... or rather thoughts on TV shows that I caught up on over the past year 📺Brooklyn 99Brooklyn 99 wrapped up this year. It was one of our favorite comedies, but given everything that's been happening in the US the producer's decision to wrap it up made sense.  This final season addresses stuff that happened in the real world, which sees Rosa quit and become a PI, Hitchcock

Man, with this pandemic, I've watched more new TV than in previous years... I think the only time I watched as much TV was when I had TV shows on my iPod Touch back in the day... Here are some miscellaneous items from this past year: Star Wars: Bad BatchI tried watching The Clone Wars before (seemed like something I should watch), but I never really got into it.  The animation style just

Not necessarily in the order that I watched these, but here are some thoughts on recent TV shows on IMDBtv, Netflix, and ANT1Leverage: RedemptionI was surprised to see this series rebooted under the IMDBtv brand, but I was also delighted to see it back. The original ran for five seasons, and it was a story of sticking up for the little guy.  This second series is that, and it's also about the

 So much time to catch up on TV watching over the summer while there really isn't all that much new stuff on TV 😂. OK, here's some recap of stuff from August... (yeah, I know I am behind...)Van Helsing (Season 5)I wasn't really sure how this series was going to end.  It did feel like they were grasping at straws close to the end of season 4 and the start of this season.  Over the
