Carrying on from yesterday, let's talk about an even better second season of Barry! The first is terrific but the second enhances everything people loved about the first season and gives us even more fun, it's a delight and features one of the best episodes of TV, possibly ever! (Episode 5). Also this is the 100th episode of season 2 of this podcast so yay

I've been watching too many tv shows lately so here's the first domino in a chain of reviews about Barry, a very VERY good show about a hitman who decides to take up acting. Bill Hader creates and stars in the HBO comedy with a dark side, its well worth a look see and with the 3rd season having just finished, now is as good a time as any to either watch for the first time or the fifth time, its a cracker of a show!

Happy Father's Day! But more importantly, happy end of week 24 of 2022, I've watched a LOT, TOO MUCH EVEN, of TV this week. Less movies but still had time for Top Gun and Pixar's latest, Lightyear. But ultimately too much TV and I'm not even ashamed, it's impressive even that I've watched over 5 seasons of different shows in the past week so enjoy my recommendations!

One of Netflix's latest action flicks is a classic example of how not to make an action film. Extremely generic and bland filled with bad performances, ITS BRILLIANT OF COURSE. said no one ever BUT APPARENTLY THIS REACHED #1 IN THE MOVIE CHARTS SO WHAT?? WHY ARE PEOPLE WATCHING THIS? I got an hour in before calling it quits, don't bother with this shambles.

Is this one of the strangest films I've ever seen? Am I still disturbed, a week after watching, by the final 15 minutes? Do I ever wanna watch this again? Yes, yes and y- wait no I don't think I do. What the hell is Men. Both the gender and this movie.

Alex Garland's back with his first feature film since Annihilation and damn this is strange, like REALLY REALLY STRANGE. Might be the weirdest and most uncomfortable final 15 minutes I've ever seen, so can I recommend it? Honestly not sure but it's well acted, well shot and scary fun for the most part but that ending is going to stick with me for a worrying amount of time

Yes I'm talking about Top Gun again. This time reviewing it after watching it in IMAX which is pretty damn astonishing. Definitely one of the best films formatted for IMAX and if you've got chance to watch it in this kind of screening, definitely jump at that opportunity. Biggest screen, biggest thrills, biggest sobbing mess (that may only be me).

The first full week of June concludes and so too does the Jurassic Saga, with Jurassic World 3 in cinemas now. But don't bother watching it. It's pretty pointless. This week has also consisted of another couple of Top Gun watches, a lot of TV and a handful of Adam Sandler films for some reason. Not a bad week but it definitely started off on a high, thanks to an imax screening of TG, sadly nothing can match it though.

Well...the epic conclusion to the Jurassic Saga has arrived..or has it? I mean really, has it? Is this it? The hype surrounding this film was pretty huge but I can't help but feel they've focused on all of the wrong things. There's a film missing before this that would've wrapped up the Jurassic World trilogy better, but this is just...meh. I've seen worse this year but I've certainly seen better, by default it probably is the weakest out of the entire saga so...yay, in cinemas now. Don't even bother.

Next up in the series is Jurassic World 2 which I think is extremely underrated! Sure the plot gets a bit naff towards the second half of the film and the humans aren't the most interesting to watch, but man this film is BEAUTIFUL. Directed stunningly and the cinematography is seriously gorgeous, it caught me off guard how nice this film is to watch. Regardless of whether you like the film or not, it just may be one of the best looking blockbusters in recent years!
