Howdy gang!!!!

So today I have two British recommendations for you. The first a suspenseful thriller staring Ben Wishaw (Bridgehead Revisited, 2008), Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge 2001, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2009) and Charlotte Rampling (Broadchurch, Series 2, 2015). It is an engaging, enthralling, keep you on your toes thriller that is surprisingly touching and emotional very deep. Not for the faint of heart. Graphic descriptions of sex, and visually disturbing scenes.

Then I let you in on the fun fact that the British Mystery series Inspector Lewis has 10 seasons on Prime video. My all time favorite episode 4 is in Season 3. It's such a fun well crafted mystery and will let you know if you like the series. If you do you have plenty to binge!

Lastly the Tasty-Treat-Sensation of the week: Hairdo's Twin Cherries Gummi Candy that is fun and delicious!!

This episode is chock full of fantastic and fun movie and television episode recommendations to enjoy during the long hot days of summer!!! First off is Zac’s birthday recommendation: Jurassic Park (Netflix). Then one of the all time best Sci-Fi movies of all time, Stargate (Hulu/Prime Video). Then I talk about the returning seasons of, Queer Eye (Netflix), So you Think You Can Dance (Hulu), World of Dance (Hulu), and Dancing with the Stars (Hulu). NBC’s thrilling time travel show, Timeless (Hulu) was just cancelled (boo NBC) but seasons 1 & 2 are both on Hulu. Last but certainly not least, our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is “High Brew’s” delicious Mexican Vanilla, cold brewed coffee!!.

Foot note: The actor Sam Neal is very much alive!!

Howdy folks! Welcome episode 21 of Sprinklez! The show dedicated to helping you find your next favorite television show, movie and/or podcast.

Today's first recommendation is the legendary sitcom: SEINFELD all episodes of which are available on HULU. (Favorite episodes include; Season 9's episode 6 where Kramer finds the old Merv Griffin show's set and installs it into his apartment; Season 5, episode 7 Non-fat yogurt and .Season 7 Episode 16 The Shower Head).

Then I recommend the amazing and ground breaking LGBT themed PODCAST by WNYC studios with host Tobin Lo and Kathy Tu https://www.wnycstudios.org/shows/nancy.

Lastly this month's Tasty-Treat-Sensation is one of my all time favorite ice cream flavors: Ben & Jerry's Phish Food!! AKA Chocolate Ice Cream with Marshmallow and Carmel Swirls with little bits of fish shaped fudge!!!! Enjoy :)

Hey Gang!!! Welcome to the 20th episode of Sprinklez! The podcast dedicated to bringing you recommendations of the best shows, movies and podcasts on available on streaming services.

Today we start off is the Netflix original series, Babylon Berlin, with intensely beautiful sets, terrific acting and time appropriate costumes. This German television series is such a high calibre you think you're watching a long running movie (it is 16 episodes long, 45 min a piece). The story if set in between the two world wars in Berlin Germany where excess and poverty collide in a crescendo of intertwining plots. Recommended for those who love period pieces, dramas, thrillers but not for those triggers by violence, nudity or cruelty.

Secondly, I recommend the amazingly true story documented in this original podcast entitled S-Town by the producers of This American Life and Serial. It plays out like a Tennessee Williams play, or a Flannery O'Connor short story, but this one is all true. The podcast become about the eccentrically fascinating John B. McLemore and the small souther town he reluctantly called home, in addition to the cast of real life characters who make up his real and adoptive family.

Lastly, this week's Tasty Treat Sensation is Caffé Monster Energy Coffee, which is a delicious highly caffeinated beverage for those adults without medical concerns, pregnancy or the like.

Hey Gang! It's a favorites episode of Sprinklez to help you find your next favorite movie on Netflix!

HOWARDS END is a 1992 Merchant Ivory Victorian England extravaganza!! If you love period pieces, if you love Anthony Hopkins, if you love Emma Thompson, actually if you love breathing air you are in for an incredible film!

Next is NACHO LIBRE is an absurdist, hilarious, comedy that will have you rolling in your chair/couch/floor, staring the fantastic-goofball Jack Black.

Then our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is RUSSELL STOVERS's Dip-It Chocolate Rabbit with JIF Peanut Butter To Go! Why didn't they think of this before? Why????

Hey Sprinklerz!!! Great news, you can now listen to SPRINKLEZ podcast on SPOTIFY!!! Hurrah!!

I have some fantastic recommendations for you in this episode!

First off, NETFLIX has redone Queer Eye for the Straight guy, renamed it simply QUEER EYE, with a new group of five gay guys who help make over the lives of men in need. It is surprisingly beautiful and touching!!! Be prepared for fabulousness fashion and tears of joy!

Then I fill you in about a Podcast my cousin get me addicted to: UP AND VANISHED (Wherever you listen to your podcasts). This is a true crime mystery hosted by documentary film maker and amateur detective Payne Lindsey. Be forewarned it is a true crime show with the usual trappings of crime scenes, some graphic murder theories and is definitely for children or faint of heart.

Lastly, I want you to know about Panera's Ancient Grain and Arugula salad with chicken. With ancient grains (still not sure what that means or what they are but they are delicious! Lol) may I recommend you put it in a you-pick-two combo with a bowl of tomato soup with their homemade croutons! YUM!!

Hey Gang!!! Today's episode is chock full of great recommendations for your queue and a Tasty-Treat-Sensation for the queue of your taste buds!

First off, I tell you about one of my favorite comedy sitcoms of all time: SCHITT'S CREEK (NETFLIX) which is co-created and staring Father and Son duo Eugene and Dan Levy! It is the perfect combination of ridiculous and heart warming!

Secondly, I recommend a lovely coming of age story with a LGBT theme, Stephen Cone's, PRINCESS CYD (NETFLIX)

And lastly (But how can a dessert item ever really come last?) Archer Farm's incredibly delicious MONSTER TRAIL MIX!!

Tanget Recommendations:

Henry Gamble's Birthday Part: An interesting independent film about a coming of age story about a young man who is discovering his sexuality as his family is all going through their own growing pains. Also written and directed by Stephen Cone.

Waiting for Guffman. A hilarious film about a small town putting on a play, and expecting a major critic coming to write it up for a national newspaper. It is one of my favorite Christopher Guest films, it is not currently on any streaming service :( But you can rent or buy it on Amazon.

Best in Show. If you haven't seen this go buy/rent it. One of the best known Christopher Guest films, cowritten by Eugene Levy. It is an hilarious mockumentary about several couples as they get their dogs ready for national dog show. Not on any streaming service :( But you can rent or buy it on Amazon.

Hey Sprinklerz! Today's show is chock full of incredible recommendations by my Aunt!

First off we have, RIVER (NETFLIX) is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite detective shows-and I LOVE detective shows so that says a lot!!!

Then I talk about the quirky but lovable Australian show, OFFSPRING (NETFLIX/HULU) about an unusual family full of eccentric adorable people!

Finally the Tasty-Treat-Sensation is the classic Nabisco's Teddy Grahams! Now in seven flavor varieties!!!!!!!!!

Tangents:

Les Miserables. (Not on streaming services. You should be able to rent from Amazon Prime). Beautiful sets, songs and costumes!!!

Song: I love to love. Tina Charles 1976-listen to it, love it!!!

Hey Gang!! Sprinklez presents our first episode of 2018, and this one is doozy!

We have a new segment we call Dr. J. Recommends! My co-worker recommended two terrific shows that he and his wife love and you will too.

First of we have the British murder mystery: THE FIVE (Netflix) which is a fun, suspenseful mystery, where a five year old disappeared twenty five years ago, after a police investigation a serial killer was caught and confessed to killing him. Fast forward to present day an one of the four friends is a police detective working on solving the murder of a woman where he collects DNA evidence when analyzed it matches the DNA of the missing five year old!!!! It's very clever and smart and surprising moving!

Then we talk about the German show, DARK which is a Netflix original which is sort of a more serious Stranger Things mixed with Donny Darko. Its creepy and mysterious but the complex plot is very engaging as it is perplexing.

Finally this episode's Tasty-Treat-Sensation is Taco Bell's XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito (Regular Chicken), Nachos and Cheese and Mountain Dew's Baja Blast-which is a mouth watering combo or salty sweet combination you are sure to love at 2am in the morning!

Hey Sprinklers! Today I have a gem of a podcast recommendation from Nightvale Presents: IT MAKES A SOUND! Which is an incredibly upbeat and slightly sanguine (yeah I had to look the meaning of that word up) fictional tale that is so engaging and at the same time joyously uplifting! It stars the fantastically creative Jacquelyn Landgraf (Who also writes and co-directs the episodes).

Then I tell you about one of my all time favorite murder mystery shows of all time: THE KILLING. Which stars one of the best actresses on any size screen Mireille Enos (World War Z) and the immensely powerful acting of Joel Kinsman (Robocop/Suicide Squad). People have come back and thanked me for recommending this one. Beware it is very intense and touches on disturbing subject matter!!

And last but certainly not least, I have this week's Tasty-Treat-Sesation is the Australian styled yoghurt, NOOSA. Which comes in a variety of sizes and flavors. Creamy and delicious!! (They have citrus flavors including Pineapple, and Blood Orange!)

Tangents:

Alice Isn't Dead. Also from Night Vale Presents is my favorite of all their podcasts, about a female trucker played by Jasika Nicole (Fringe) in search of her missing wife. It's a little sci-fi a lot of fun.

The Family (Amazon, for purchase/rent only. Not on Prime) Staring Joan Allen (Nixon), Rupert Graves (A Room With a View), Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink) starts out as a great thriller mystery but gets tied up in unseemly and unnecessary plot lines. Worth watching for the performances and if you can imagine what could have been a really good is he/isn't he an imposter show.
