Just finished watching The Beastie Boys Story. Really good, funny guys and did a lot more for music and the world as a whole than many people would probably realise.

It's them in front of an audience telling the story and it gets quite teary at a point as there's only 2 of them left now. The 3rd and main inspiration died of cancer at 47.

Wholeheartedly recommend.

Watch through credits as well for some great extras and heckling by celebs in the audience.

I’ve put this on my priority list. Even higher priority now given my Apple TV free trial runs out in 3 days

Watched 'Unlocked' at the weekend. Decent film, easy watch. Noomi Rapace is good as always, and easy on the eye too

Martin

@ryan-carruthers went for it now rewatching Flight of the Concords what a great show that was!

Ryan

@martin-futter I'm watching it at the moment, 3 in. Pretty decent!

what's everyone's opinion on the new Bryan Cranston show? wondering if i should get now tv for a month

Richard Latimer

Watched Chuck a few years back and now re-watching it with the kids. As I knew they would, they love it.

Real easy watching and a show with a lot of heart.

Just finished season 3 of Daredevil on Netflix. If you like your superhero (although he is not super really) stuff then I can recommend this. With the exception of the Electra episodes it is brilliant from start to finish.
The people playing, Daredevil/Mat Murdoch, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Karen Page are superb. Obviously John Bernthal as Frank Castle is excellent as is the Punisher spin off series.

A shame there will be no more of either of these. Much less cartoon and much more gritty, people driven darker stories.

Still have the last season to finish. Enjoyed it so far although not watched in a while. He's meant to be reprising his role in the MCU I heard.

I love South Park. Hitler Cartman, Policeman Cartman and Thai Hooker Cartman are just the funniest thing ever

It's still good now. Managed to remain topical while the Simpsons fell into repeating the same situations in slightly different ways.

Anybody seen the outer banks yet?

Ryan

@richard-latimer Aha yes! I really didn't like it

Just watched 'Sorry We Missed You'. Jesus is that some depressing s**t. Great film, starts off quite light hearted but you kind of know it's going to be all downhill especially given it's Ken Loach and the whole grim up north vibe.

Recommend highly if that's your bag.
