Finally got around to watching Vice with Christian Bale as *smile* Cheney. Great viewing.

What platform was that one TT?

Speaking of Platforms, I watched that on Netflix. Weird is an understatement.
I had to watch it on Apple TV movies on my iPad as you can’t cast from Apple TV.

Yeah, I watched Platform last week, weird it is.

Chernobyl the HBO series is gripping and brilliant. 5 episodes mini-series
And interesting viewing now in this pandemic, clear parallels with this current situation and also climate change.
Worth watching but also very harrowing

Watched Bombshell last night. Pales against Netflix’s recent foray in the Fox News area with their Loudest Voice mini series. Felt like I’d already seen it.

Unorthodox on Netflix is worth a look. Not sure how reflective it is of the reality of ultra-orthodox Judaism but it's an interesting watch.
I've watched it too and my Jewish friends tell me it is unnervingly accurate in its representation.

I watched it when it was first released last year. It's brilliant.

Watched “A beautiful day in the neighbourhood “ about tv kids show host Fred Rogers. I enjoyed it to a degree but 2 things, Hanks played Rogers a bit like some sort of “idiot savant” and there was too much focus on the fictional character of the magazine interviewers relationship issues with his father.

Haven't seen the film but seems a fascinating character.

You've probably seen this or it would be in the film but this is good viewing. Ahead of his time re mental health.

I couldn't get past the first ten minutes of this one. I'd never seen the original show, but it just reminded me of all the shitty TV we watched in the 70s and 80s.

Ha, yeah, whilst Rogers (as JB put it was ahead of his time in one aspect ) his TV show itself looked very lame.
