Nobody 2
I understand and could agree with IMDB giving this a 6.7. It isn't great. There is a lot of weird blood splatter, impossible shots/fighting, and other things that just make you shake your head. It isn't great.
Crime

Deja Vu
The acting is all over the place. Neither good nor bad throughout. Just there. I am struggling to find a series of thoughts that makes this worth the watch. I just feel that it just spins up what could be so good, but does the bare minimum to pull a story together.
Drama
Spotlight
I think one of the best parts of this movie for me is one of the ending scenes where there is a conversation with a couple of the characters. They are talking about how this even happened and the conversation presents the idea that they are all in part responsible.
Movies
Unknown Number: The High School Catfish
As a note, I am intentionally not saying anything about the story outside of this as that is what makes this so wild. The ups and downs and whatnot is crazy. Also, one of the other hosts of the Epic Screen Time Podcast hasn't watch it yet.

End of Watch
The story is excellent. I really like to think that everyone that has a hand held camera is in the same class their lives just happen to interact outside of class. You have some really serious elements, from the perspective of human trafficking, brotherhood, and drugs.
Movies
The Accountant 2
I can't tell if this movie is just as good for different reasons or not as good because it isn't the same as The Accountant. There are some huge departures from the original, but it makes up for it in other ways. Howe
TV
A Body in the Snow
To be honest, I am not sure how to write this/talk about this. The case is going to be retried, it isn't over. So the "Truth" isn't really out there. What I will say is that Karen isn't the type of person who makes sympathetic juries.
TV
Sins of Our Mother
These are the types of documentaries that I do not like. It is just an expanded story of what happened with the son providing some commentary. No answers, not additional story, nothing that I couldn't read in the news really.
Movies
The Jackal
As you can tell from the synopsis, this movie is a complete farce. Not that it was supposed to be anything else, but this just pushes it over the top. The FBI pulling someone from the IRA to help them find an assassin just because he has seen him is just crazy.
TV
The Tylenol Murders
I knew that it was this event that created the foil over the top of the pill bottle, but under the lid. Why do I know that? I have no idea I think my mom talked about it at some time when I was a kid. Probably when she was telling me to get a different pill package because it might be tampered with.
TV
Squid Game
This game story is only the beginning with player 456 really making strides. Showing people what being a human really means. Lee Jung-jae is outstanding in this. I believe bad writing and him learning english for the role is why he was weaker in The Acolyte, but I don't think it is his capability.
TV
Mayor of Kingstown
This is a very slow open show. It does take at least 2 episodes to really be interested and what keeps you involved is just the premise of the show and Renner. This feeling is the same for each season. The episodes are slow in general, but the first couple for each season as just REALLY slow.
