  • Altered Carbon

    —

    I’ve only watched the first episode so far, but from what I’ve seen, I think I’m going to enjoy this ride. First off, I crave cyberpunk-set stories, and so just that fact alone was enough to draw me in, but it also looks like they’ve got the look/visuals down. Hard to tell how good the…

  • The End of the Fucking World

    —

    I loved this series so damn much, and I think it’s easy to say that it’s now one of my favorite shows. Deliciously dark and funny, it zooms by (a short 8-episode season, with each episode about half an hour), and I was almost sad when it ended (although I liked how it ended). Can’t…

  • Bright

    —

    Yes, I watched this (during the holiday break), and yes, it’s not very good. I watched it out of curiosity, and because even though it had bad buzz, I did think that the setting was an interesting one. Or that it could potentially have been interesting. I didn’t absolutely hate it, but it’s an ugly…

  • Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

    —

    This is the first part of a trilogy of animated films about Godzilla produced for Netflix, and it’s fantastic. It’s produced by the studio behind Knights of Sidonia, Ajin, and Blame, and has the same CG-animated look — and although I really enjoyed Sidonia and Ajin, I was let down by the Blame movie. Unlike…

  • My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman

    —

    I finally watched the first episode of this last night — with Obama as his first guest — and enjoyed it to bits. Obama truly comes off as a great, intelligent, reasonable, and funny man. The questions aren’t incisive, but Letterman is good at keeping the conversation going, and so I’m quite looking forward to…

  • The Toys That Made Us

    —

    This is a very enjoyable 4-part documentary series on Netflix about the toys from my youth — G.I. Joe, Star Wars, and He-Man (and although I didn’t play with Barbie dolls, I did find that episode interesting to watch). My favorite toy when I was a kid (not counting LEGO) was G.I. Joe, and so…

  • Craig Ferguson: Tickle Fight

    —

    Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve watched a stand-up special, and I’m glad I watched this new one from Craig Ferguson on Netflix. I quite like his brand of comedy — even though I didn’t regularly watch his late night show, I did watch it here and there, and always enjoyed his vibe…

  • Godless

    —

    Our team Christmas party was held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts this year, and during the party we had access to the current main exhibition, which is all about the history of westerns. I love me some westerns, and this put me in a mood to watch a bunch (either re-watch or find…
