Been to see the new Indiana Jones movie? Binged a great series? What have you been watching, and should we watch it too?

Just finished binge watching Race Across the World on iPlayer, very entertaining and actually learned a lot of world geography.

We watched the Canada one, it was really good. My wife and I both had a massive crush on Zainab too.

Oh 100% she was fantastic. Ladi grew on me as well.

Yup, I really wanted them to win. I found the two female “just good friends” a bit whiny.

If you enjoyed this, try Jet Lag on YouTube. It’s by the team who create Half as Interesting. Naturally it is on a more YouTube friendly budget, but they do a lot with it! Series 4 where they travel across New Zealand is likely the closest to Race Across the World in terms of seeing a lot of a place.

Just finished watching Barry. Not many people seem to have seen it, but they should. It’s absolutely brilliant

I know I’ve been banging on about slogging my way through the Star Treks before cancelling my Paramount+ subscription, but the most recent episode of Strange New Worlds where La’an and Kirk travel back to 21st century Toronto was great.

I’ve just started this yesterday so still on season 1. It’s really good so far! I’m pleasantly surprised as I wasn’t sure what to expect. You should check out the startrek.website instance, they’ve got some good star trek communities

Thanks. Yes the startrek.website instance is a good shout. Lots of good stuff on there and “official” communities migrated from the bad place.

Not all of S1 is great, I thought. A few wonky episodes, and some wonky parts to good episodes. But then, that’s just classic Trek for you. Like the good old days of Those Old Scientists and TNG.

Since ditching Netflix due to their household change, I’ve been working my way through the other streaming services. One thing I used Netflix for a lot was for their Korean content. Imagine my surprise to discover that Disney+ actually has a small but decent catalogue. Currently watching ‘The Zone’ and it is a pretty decent K-Variety show.

Closer to home, I’m continuing my rewatch of Dr. Who leading up to New New Who starting in November. I’m following a guide online to remind me of which episodes that are worth skipping. I’ve seen them all before, so no big miss to skip some that I didn’t enjoy that much.

Haha. Dr. Who is a very patchy show to watch. You never know if it’s going to be a camp sci-fi romp for the family or someone shovelling hot diarrhea down your throat for 27 minutes.

The Bear series one. Can only do a bit at a time though. The editing hurts my heart.

Haha same! It’s just a bunch of assholes shouting at each other constantly, and jarringly edited. Somehow enjoying it in a ‘cant stop staring’ kind of way.
