    Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve watched a stand-up special, and I’m glad I watched this new one from Craig Ferguson on Netflix. I quite like his brand of comedy — even though I didn’t regularly watch his late night show, I did watch it here and there, and always enjoyed his vibe…

    Our team Christmas party was held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts this year, and during the party we had access to the current main exhibition, which is all about the history of westerns. I love me some westerns, and this put me in a mood to watch a bunch (either re-watch or find…

    I feel like I’ve lost touch with what Spike Lee has been producing in recent years — even though I used to be a big fan of his work — but I was definitely going to give his new Netflix series a shot (a remake of his first film). I’ve watched the first two episodes,…

    Even though at this point I feel pretty burned by Marvel’s Netflix series — the only series I’ve really liked a lot was Daredevil — I was looking forward to this, mostly because I liked Bernthal’s portrayal of the Punisher in the second season of Daredevil (even though I felt it was a waste to…

    I gave this a try when it was released on Netflix, and couldn’t get into it. I thought the idea of doing an artsy take on anime to be an interesting one, and I do like the Wes Anderson-like opening credits, which really clash with the bombastic openers we’re used to seeing in anime. But…

    What with Super Mario Odyssey taking over my life since Friday, I’ve only managed to watch the first episode of the second season of Stranger Things (after re-watching season 1 earlier this week). That episode was quite good though — you gotta love all of the arcade love the episode gets — and I can’t…

    I’m incredibly excited for the second season of Stranger Things to come out on Friday, and so in anticipation I decided to re-watch the first season — something I never do for dramatic series, with Twin Peaks as the exception. I’m watching 2-3 episodes a night (will finish tonight), and I’ve found myself enjoying it…

    I loved this series so much. I binged most of it in one day, which I haven’t done in a while (especially for a dramatic series). The premise of interviewing serial killers made for some fascinating scenes — and some great performances — and I quite liked that they mixed these with a few “new”…

    Yeah, I kinda went full on Canadiana last night, and the final piece — also watched through the CBC app — is the first episode of this adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s acclaimed novel. I think this is a co-production between the CBC and Netflix (so on Netflix outside of Canada). I didn’t really know anything…

    This came out of nowhere for me (added to Netflix last week), as I had heard nothing about it. But seeing that Nick Kroll and a lot of other fun actors were involved, I decided to check it out, and wow, this series is incredibly funny. I’ve watched the first 3 episodes, and they’re deliciously…
