Welcome to another year of Monthly Media Recaps!
A few reminders:
You can find me on
Letterboxd. I
don't usually post reviews there but I do record my movie views so I won't
forget any at the end of the month.
If a title is linked, it will take you to Amazon if you want to buy the movie,
or anything else, and drop a few pennies in the coffers.
Streaming
Cobra Kai (S3, Netflix) - I don't want to say this season jumped
the shark but it's definitely getting a little more soap opera-ish and how
many times do you let kids beat each other up before you get the police
involved?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (S4, Netflix) - I am definitely going to
miss this show! The overall story for the final season was great. The final
couple eps were crazy but in a really fun way.
The History of Swear Words (Netflix) - Seriously, who could host
this better than Nic Cage? OK, maybe Sam Jackson but still, this is a lot of
fun and a good change from anything else you're watching.
WandaVision (Disney+) - Still airing new eps but it is a real
treat! Not only am I interested to see how it unfolds but the work that went
into recreating each sitcom style through the years has been top notch.
The Flight Attendant (HBO Max) - Love this show! Definitely a very
Hitchcock vibe to it. It's even got a little bit of retro going for it with
the title score and split screen shots. Kaley Couco was fantastic and had a
lot to do with her character. It's nice to see do something other than "the
blonde girl on the sitcom". I wasn't sure they were going to wrap it up by the
end but they pulled it off while leaving the possibility for another season.
However, it would have to be a really great story.
