This episode Alicia and I review the popular Netflix series Stranger Things. I did a quick blog on the first season of Stranger Things last year but we wanted to do a podcast on thisseason because of how much we enjoyed the first. We have different perspectives from season to season but overall listen as we share our view.
The Punisher (Netflix) Marvel
Big fan of the comic book character Frank Castle. I convinced Alicia to sit and watch this series with me on Netflix. First introduced on the Netflix Marvel Series Daredevil. I eagerly awaited for his series to come out. Here's the surprising review by Alicia and I.
After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience.
The Deuce (HBO)
Alicia and finally get around to see our iconic 42nd street put into a TV series. We talk about our time in downtown Manhattan and different aspects of the sex trade in NYC that the TV series shows.
"The Deuce" tells of the germination of the sex-trade industry in the heart of New York's Times Square. It's the early 1970s, and the porn business begins a shift from organized crime-backed parlors to a legitimate, culturally accepted enterprise.
Thor Ragnarok
Tonight Alicia and I take a late night movie in to see the new Thor movie. Paying full price is not our thing but opening weekend of the the movie. We had to go see it. Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization
A Ghost Story
In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.
That was summary to the movie but anyway, Alicia and I watched this critically acclaimed movie called A ghost Story separately after I was recommended to watch and review this independent film. This love, spiritual and exploration of time story is an interesting view of what love and time does to a person when you have no control of what can be done.
Marshall - The Movie
Young Thurgood Marshall faces one of his greatest challenges while working as a lawyer for the NAACP. Marshall travels to conservative Connecticut when wealthy socialite Eleanor Strubing accuses black chauffeur Joseph Spell of sexual assault and attempted murder. He soon teams up with Sam Friedman, a local Jewish lawyer who's never handled a criminal case.
MINDHUNTER (Netflix)
On this episode, Alicia and I binge watch the new Netflix series by David Fincher and Charlize Theron, Mindhunter. This psychological series about the FBI behavior science unit gets us in to the mind of the FBI agents that tried to figure out the deviant behaviors of these killers. A slow but well worth it series.
In the late 1970s two FBI agents expand criminal science by delving into the psychology of murder and getting uneasily close to all-too-real monsters. Mindhunter is an American crime drama web television series created by Joe Penhall, based on the true crime book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit written by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker.
The Foreigner movie review
Quan is a humble London businessman whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love -- his teenage daughter -- dies in a senseless act of politically motivated terrorism. His relentless search to find the terrorists leads to a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official whose own past may hold the clues to the identities of the elusive killers.
Wind River movie review
Alicia and I sit down to watch this independent release film about a rape murder on an Indian reservation. This slow moving crime drama suspense is worth the watch with good actor. Absolutely good writing and a decent directing job. This wasnt on our list but based on the critics comments and the directors track record of good directing and writing. I wanted us to see this unorthodox movie.
Cory Lambert is a wildlife officer who finds the body of an 18-year-old woman on an American Indian reservation in snowy Wyoming. When the autopsy reveals that she was raped, FBI agent Jane Banner arrives to investigate. Teaming up with Lambert as a guide, the duo soon find that their lives are in danger while trying to solve the mystery of the teen's death
Blade Runner 1982 / Blade Runner 2049
Today Alicia and I went to the movies to see Blade Runner 2049. We are such fans of Denis Villeneuve that I had to see this movie regardless of the reviews and ratings. The day before we sat down and watched the original Blade Runner with the main protaganist Harrisson Ford. This one stars Ryan Gosling as the new Blade runner hunting older replicants trying to stop a potential PR disaster with the way replicants and humans see their reality. This is such an interesting movie. See what we think about it. You might be interested the way we both see it.
