Never one to stand still, I'm watching 'Welcome To Wrexham' now.

Very engaging story along with the typical light hearted banter by Rob Mcelhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

Forgot a film I just watched on Now. Strays.

Girlfriends choice as with the reviews I may well have given it a miss.

Completely puerile but very funny. Not used to seeing films about cute furry animals with such shockingly bad language etc...

Definitely not for kids

Starting watching Baby Reindeer - weird as hell that, I am not actually sold on it to be fair.

A lot of people banged on about how good it is, can't see it.

I found it a fascinating piece of work unlike anything I had watched in a long time but can see why some would not like it

[Ryan]

@Richard-Latimer That sounds mental!!!

[Richard Latimer]

@Ryan it's on my list. Just started watching season 6 of Inside No. 9.

Bit behind

Also watched film on netflix called Red Rocket yesterday.

Scumbag ex porn star goes back to his home town and estranged wife when things go wrong.

Then fucks everyone's s**t up because he's a scumbag.

Most recent watching includes:

Am I Being Unreasonable starring Daisy May Cooper from This Country. Brilliant mix of drama, comedy and a little something else.

Season 3 & 4 of The Young Offenders. Sitcom about 2 feckless Irish eejits. Season 3 was great while Season 4 sometimes unnecessarily dark and not quite the same. Had it's moments.

SAS Rogue Heroes which I'm just concluding now. Really good dramatisation of how The SAS came to be in WW2

@John-Folan I loved it. Saw it in 4DX. Didn't think they were going to play the theme so that was a nice surprise. Loved that show in my childhood.

They're blaming covid still and the fact you can stream stuff almost as soon as it hits the cinema.

@John-Folan just a shame it's not done well at the box office so the planned sequel most likely won't happen.

It is. That Furiosa bombed as well. Weird as both had high expectations. Something’s gone wonky somewhere.

@John-Folan left field but recommend the board game Marvel United.

The first one is an avengers one but there is also an X-Men version which is the one I have.

Cheap and very accessible, good fun family game (though I've been playing it solo).

They are doing a DC version in July on Kickstarter and I am going to defo be backing it!

Brilliant. Love a boardgame

Went back down the Fallout76 rabbit hole. Started a fresh game on the PS5. Really enjoying it. Was quite high level on the pc but fancied a fresh look

[Richard Latimer]

@Martin Nah, for me I loved the end. The idea that these 2 people who had been at each others throats since the very first episode would end up in such a mad situation....

I'll say no more for fear of spoilers but highly recommend to anyone else.

They are making a season 2 with new characters from what I read.

Trying to get Anne Hathaway and Jake Gylenhall onboard.

[Martin]

@Richard-Latimer it was great then got a bit too weird at the end for me

[Richard Latimer]

Just finished watching 'Beef' on netflix. Totally brilliant, absolutely deranged. An object lesson on making one bad decision after another.
