Tuesday, Tuesday. Up here in Scotland (specifically Edinburgh) it’s the last day of the school holidays. To any other parents north of the border - we’ve done it, folks. The end is in sight. Looking forward to tomorrow’s hectic early morning followed by a day of bliss.
Anyway, TV and Tunes Tuesday! Whatcha watching and listening to? Recommendations for movies, TV shows and music please!
Personally I have the last episode of Strange New Worlds, which I’m saving for tomorrow lunchtime and then it’s sayonara Paramount +. We’ve also just finished the reboot of Quantum Leap, which was cheesy but fun.
Music wise. Well, I’m a gen-xer so I’ve been listening to the remasters of the Lush albums. Long live shoegaze, the only correct style of dancing.
TV - pleased by the return of Annika: Scotland-based procedural/noir with some great scenery and touches of dark humour. Otherwise Good Omens, The Righteous Gemstones, What We Do in the Shadows & Only Murders in the Building all continue to entertain.
Film - a couple of recent-ish ones that I have enjoyed lately are The Fence (2022): well done '80s Bristol tale which captured the bleakness of the time well and You Hurt My Feelings (2023), a thoughtful, well observed relationship piece from Nicole Holofcener very much in the same milieu as a lot of Woody Allen’s films.
