Watched something good? Share it here. Plus trailers for stuff that might be a bit decent. There’s so much choice now.

Edit.
Books and Games(computer or otherwise) as well. This thread is proving quite popular so may as well expand it a bit.

@Richard-Latimer Yea I watched it, not a patch on die hard.

I felt like it it had all the potential to be brilliant but was just a bit lacklustre for me.

@Ryan I really enjoyed it. Think Jason Bateman is showing real range these days and I've liked most of the stuff I've seen Taron Egerton is.

Anyone see Carry-On yet?

Set to be the new alternative Christmas choice I reckon.

Die Hard for Gen Z.

If anybody is a fan of old school horror movies I can highly recommend Terrifier and Terrifier 2. Both are currently on Amazon Prime.

Real tip of the hat to old school horror with these. The first film was made, I think, with around 50k which is total peanuts in the film world. It shows but is still an excellent film. They had more money for the 2nd film (about 250k I think) still peanuts but was really good.

The guy playing the Art the Clown was superb.

So what was everyone's spotify wrapped like this year?

My most played song apparently Live Forever followed by Don't Delete The Kisses (Wolf Alice) and then Mother We Share (Churches).

Most played Artist The Manics.

Dont know how many of you listen to podcasts but I have been listening to the 'Betting Weekly Dojo with Neil Channing and Nigel Seeley since its start and I would recommend it as a very enjoyable listen,
Its not really a tipping podcast but more two guys talking about their life in the betting industry with some stories that they remember from days gone buy.
Anyone who knows Neil Channing or has seen him on various tv shows will know that he can talk for England and is a great listen

In this weeks one as an aside they were talking about test cricket and Neil was saying that of 47 tests this year there have been no draws except for one due to weather and whether it was worth the lay.

Dunno if any of our cricket guys had looked into this?

Forgot, I watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles last night too. What a classic!

Richard Latimer

I'm gonna watch any old Christmas crap for the next month

Already introduced my 12 and 14 yr old to Lethal Weapon this year plus we've watched Home Alone and Gremlins already (their choice).

On my own I'm looking for newer lesser well known fare so last night I watched a film with a female santa

Anna Kendrick though. She is fine. Could come down my chimney any day/night (if I had one( etc etc...

Skeleton Crew. Or Goonies in Space. What a fun watch. Pleasantly surprised.

Richard Latimer

Silo seems like it's gonna be pretty good after just one episode watched.

@Akiva-Anderson nah, I'm too squeamish. Eating people isn't for me

Watching a messed up film at the moment called Bones and All.

About people called eaters or to put it another way.....cannibals

I’m calling the police on you

Agree. Check his hardrive. I'd imagine people have started disappearing from his area!

Presumed Innocent is pretty good on Apple TV.

Apple TV is full of great stuff to watch.

Just watched a film called 'Aftersun'.

Real slow burner as father takes his 11yr old daughter on holiday. Alot is video camera footage as the little girl now 20yrs older looks back. Some is her memories.

It's incredibly moving and very sad but I won't say too much more.

I can't stop playing Star Wars Outlaws!

Is it any good?

Yes, still a bit buggy in places, but enjoyable

Taken the plunge. I really like it

@Richard-Latimer

The book is superb. Both film versions are very good. Just a genuinely great, tragic story.
