    Todd Greenberg on The Grade Cricketer

    Hadn't seen this posted anywhere else - it's well worth a listen (even if you aren't a fan of TGC.) While obviously a lot of people will disagree with some of the corpo speak and conclusions, I thought it was a pretty frank and honest chat (particularly by CA executive standards) and well worth...

    Streaming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

    New Game of Thrones prequel, adapted from the Dunk and Egg/Hedge Knight novellas. First ep up on HBO Max now. Thought they nailed the tone straight out of the gate - this was always going to be a much different adaption to the mainline series or House of the Dragon.

    The Iron Claw - Von Erichs movie releasing Jan 18th 2024

    Couldn't find a dedicated thread and the first trailer has just dropped. Was a bit sceptical about Efron as Kevin, but this looks really, really good. Reckon it'll stun a few people who don't know just how tragic the full story is.

    ...I thought I'd go back and have a look at some of the on day reactions from 2009. *I quote these hot takes from a position of love, not mockery* Ooft - up there with my "I can't believe we lost out on Swift!" the previous year. (We took Ballas with the next pick). Still shattered and...

    Movie Eternals

    Couldn't see an established thread, but officially out yesterday. Immediate reaction on seeing it was good on Marvel for giving Chloe Zhao a crack, and good on Chloe Zhao for having a crack, but can't quite make up my mind if it worked. Certainly the most un-MCU MCU movie in the stable.
