Media Diary (April 2026)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Margo’s Got Money Troubles (TV): A stacked cast and tremendous energy

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere (Movie): A “nice” journey into a house of horrors

Hulk Hogan: Real American (TV): What a flawed dude, but what a career

Rental Family (Movie): A small story told well

The Boys (TV): They’re definitely not going out in a subtle fashion, that’s for damn sure

Trust Me: The False Prophet (TV): This just got creepier and creepier

The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel (Movie): Loved this, and did not expect Flea to emerge as a McCartney-like motivating figure for the group

Hacks (TV): Feels super strong again this year

The Audacity (TV): Obviously over-the-top, but it’s been growing on me

Untold: Chess Mates (TV Movie): For all your “cheating at chess via connected anal beads” needs

The ‘Burbs (TV): As a superfan of the original movie, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this

La Bamba (Movie): Had been far too long, and it still has the juice

For All Mankind (TV): Kinda can’t believe this is still going, but I like the near-reboot approach with the younger cast

Goodfellas (Movie): Had been a while since I’d watched this gem, check out our takes on Stream Team

Your Friends & Neighbors (TV): Can never go wrong by throwing Marsden into the mix

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Uh, Movie): Visually gorgeous, but I’m still not entirely sure what happened (to say nothing of my rage over another movie sans Waluigi)

Media Diary (January 2026)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

The Pitt (TV): It’s official, after fully catching up (at last), I’ve been diagnosed with a bad case of Pitt Fever

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (Movie): LOVED this, really rooting for Rose to win Best Actress

Will There Ever Be Another You (Book): This was wild and almost impossible to follow, but it reminded me (for better or worse) a lot of how my own mind works, so I was kind of into it

General Magic (Movie): These people basically invented the world we now inhabit

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV): Love the smaller scope and general tone

After The Hunt (Movie): Was super into this, and Julia remains incredible

The Beauty (TV): This show is batshit, but I’m fully on the train

Cover-Up (Movie): This guy just can’t get enough of cover-ups, what a legend

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (TV): I never knew I needed “Space Hogwarts” in my life, but I’m a fan, to say nothing of my love for Holly Hunter’s inability to sit normally

Tom Petty: Somewhere You Feel Free (Movie): I’ve always been a huge fan, but I’ve been on a real Wildflowers binge lately, so this was amazing to watch

Zardoz (Movie): I’d never seen it (aside from pics of the outfit), and it was really something

Filmworker (Movie): Talk about getting “called” to another path, what a journey for this guy

Smiles and Kisses You (Movie): Shockingly awkward, sweet and fascinating (all in equal parts)

Who Done It: The Clue Documentary (Movie): Far more low-budget than I expected, but still a great look at this eternal classic

Becoming Led Zeppelin (Movie): What I would’ve given to see them live back in their prime

Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story (Movie): Just staggering that this movie full-on created the concept of a blockbuster

Riefenstahl (Movie): An intriguing look at a wildly problematic figure

The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (Movie): Fascinating to see the controversy behind one of the world’s most recognizable photos

Adventures in Babysitting (Movie): One of my all-time favs, and it was great to discuss it with the crew

Leprechaun (Movie): It’d been a while, and it obviously still has the juice

Tron: Ares (Movie): Had some fun moments, but overall pretty forgettable

Media Diary (December 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Marty Supreme (Movie): I’ll be honest, Timothée was kind of astounding

Wake Up Dead Man (Movie): Really enjoyed this, despite the darker tone from its predecessors

Fallout (TV): Glad it’s back, I missed this weird world

The Hounding (Book): Generally enjoyed the ominous atmosphere, though this really should’ve been called “DogChix”

Galaxy Brain (Podcast): Just started digging through, but I’m always a fan of the dystopia beat

Happy and You Know It (Movie): These people are all the absolute coolest

Downey Wrote That (Movie): This guy was/is absolute magic

The Smashing Machine (Movie): The Rock crushed this, and I’m bummed it tanked at the box office

Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army (TV): Obv catnip for me

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (Movie): Very fun, though I desperately wish this hadn’t been his last film 😢

Frankenstein (Movie): Visually gorgeous, and loved the performances

Avatar: Fire and Ash (Movie): I had fun, but it definitely felt like an extension of the second film more than its own new chapter

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (Movie): The main performances were great, but the plot/drama felt a bit lacking, despite the incredible songs

It’s Florida, Man (TV): So dumb, yet I keep coming back

Megadoc (Movie): Fascinating to watch, but I’d pay extra for a sequel covering the release and reviews

Anaconda (1997 Movie): I’d shockingly never seen this treasure, thankfully that’s now been rectified

Anaconda (2025 Movie): Watched the above to prep for this double feature, and found this new one to be a delight

Gremlins (Movie): Another Stream Team banger in the books

Breakdown: 1975 (Movie): Hell of a year!

Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? (Movie): Enjoyed this a lot, since I’m always a sucker for “semi-volatile frontman” stories

Train Dreams (Movie): Sad and beautiful vibes

Batman Returns (Movie): Hadn’t seen in a long time, it’s just jammed with iconic moments

Media Diary (November 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Pluribus (TV): Unsurprisingly astounding

Pluribus: The Official Podcast (Uh, Podcast): The companion podcast is also loose, fun and fascinating

Bugonia (Movie): Just the insanity I needed from Yorgos

Death by Lightning (TV): So good, and I would love to expand the American history cinematic universe tbh

The Naked Gun (Movie): Laughed a lot more than I expected

Decoder (Podcast): I’d dabbled here and there, but it’s now in my regular rotaysh

The Shuffle (Movie): This song was an absolute pillar of my childhood, and it was hilarious to see how they jammed Payton and McMahon in after the fact

The American Revolution (TV): Still plowing through this, but they really aren’t kidding about history rhyming

Wicked: For Good (Movie): Obviously a trickier movie given the nature of the show’s second half, but I enjoyed it overall

Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (Movie): I wasn’t super familiar with her story, and wow was it far more nuanced than I expected

Monster (Movie): I don’t think I’d ever actually seen this, and Charlize was remarkable

I Love LA (TV): Everyone is completely insufferable, but I kinda love it

Ballad of a Small Player (Movie): More vibes than anything else, but worth a watch

Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films (TV): Cameron is absolutely insane in the best possible way

A House of Dynamite (Movie): Heard pretty polarized reactions to this, think I land somewhere in the middle

Palm Royale (TV): Enjoyed the first season, we’ll see how this one holds up

Down Cemetery Road (TV): Just started, but definitely along for the ride

Media Diary (November 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Pluribus (TV): Unsurprisingly astounding

Pluribus: The Official Podcast (Uh, Podcast): The companion podcast is also loose, fun and fascinating

Bugonia (Movie): Just the insanity I needed from Yorgos

Death by Lightning (TV): So good, and I would love to expand the American history cinematic universe tbh

The Naked Gun (Movie): Laughed a lot more than I expected

Decoder (Podcast): I’d dabbled here and there, but it’s now in my regular rotaysh

The Shuffle (Movie): This song was an absolute pillar of my childhood, and it was hilarious to see how they jammed Payton and McMahon in after the fact

The American Revolution (TV): Still plowing through this, but they really aren’t kidding about history rhyming

Wicked: For Good (Movie): Obviously a trickier movie given the nature of the show’s second half, but I enjoyed it overall

Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (Movie): I wasn’t super familiar with her story, and wow was it far more nuanced than I expected

Monster (Movie): I don’t think I’d ever actually seen this, and Charlize was remarkable

I Love LA (TV): Everyone is completely insufferable, but I kinda love it

Ballad of a Small Player (Movie): More vibes than anything else, but worth a watch

Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films (TV): Cameron is absolutely insane in the best possible way

A House of Dynamite (Movie): Heard pretty polarized reactions to this, think I land somewhere in the middle

Palm Royale (TV): Enjoyed the first season, we’ll see how this one holds up

Media Diary (October 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

The Chair Company (TV): It would be difficult for me to love this more

One Battle After Another (Movie): Fantastic and epic, but bummed at how it performed at the box office

Carnality (Book): Enjoyed its wild little world

Version History (Podcast): Targeted square at me (an old nerd)

Mr. Scorsese (TV): What a staggering career

John Candy: I Like Me (Movie): I got an early look at this a while back, and now that it’s out, glad that confirm that Candy does indeed seem to have been a pretty great guy

Monster: The Ed Gein Story (TV): I was riveted the whole time, despite it taking some wild artistic liberties

Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein (TV): Amazing that this audio exists

Weapons (Movie): Loved the unhinged vibe

It: Welcome to Derry (TV): WHAT a cold open to a series 😬

Troll 2 (Movie): It’d had been a little bit since I’d been back to the fountain of knowledge, and it was great to bring in some new blood

Best Worst Movie (Movie): Obviously this was then the standard chaser (it’d been a long time since my last watch)

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (TV): As always, I’ll watch any and all Gacy material

My Father, the BTK Killer (Movie): Talk about an impossible situation to process

The Monster of Florence (TV): Just started this, but it’s gorgeous and compelling

Murdaugh: Death in the Family (TV): I did some light Murdaugh-ing a while back, feels good to return

Into the Void (TV): Not sure that “enjoyed” is the right word, but I was intrigued by every episode

Nightmares of Nature (TV): Generally dumb, but sometimes that’s what you need (and great footage!)

Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars (TV): It’s like real-life Carmy!

Task (TV): Love both of the leads and the overall tone

The Lowdown (TV): Digging the vibe so far

Sid and Nancy (Movie): I’d somehow never seen this, and it was fantastic

Sad Vacation (Movie): Obviously I then had to watch the documentary

The Pitt (TV): Late to the party, but a big fan

The Woman in the Yard (Movie): Some cool imagery, but overall kind of a mess

Media Diary (August 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Alien: Earth (TV): This show has no right to be this great

Eddington (Movie): VERY good, and it’d be tough to choose between this or Midsommar as my top Aster movie

Stoner (Podcast): Interesting “first time with weed” origin stories

Katrina: Come Hell and High Water (TV): Still in the middle of this, but it’s powerful and depressing

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Movie): Light and fun, loved the cast and overall production design

Billy Joel: And So It Goes (TV): An astounding career, and a great (though long) documentary

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Movie): We went to see the 35th anniversary (!) theatrical re-release, and man does this still hold up!

The Hunting Wives (TV): Can’t believe I’m saying it out loud, but I very much enjoyed this

Deadly Lessons (Movie): This really needs to be experienced without context, then immediately chased by the Flop House episode (hat tip to to the legendary Jessica G for the recommendaysh)

The Yogurt Shop Murders (TV): Super compelling, but ultimately frustrating that we still don’t have closure

Silence (Movie): I’d never seen, but we watched after learning more about this period of Japanese history on our trip, and the movie is legitimately gripping

Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil (TV): I had no idea he’d “consulted” on the Green River Killer case, so I found it super interesting to explore the stories of both murderers

Happy Gilmore 2 (Movie): Dumb and fun, exactly what I wanted from it

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox (TV): I never knew all the details of the case, so I’ve been fully along for this ride

Network (Movie): Big fans on our end, check out the discussion

Peacemaker (TV): Glad it’s back, and glad it’s still as over-the-top as ever (though I think the new opening titles song isn’t quite as epic as the one from season one)

Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie (Movie): Had no idea that Chong was the mastermind playing 4D chess with their early brand and career

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV): This show keeps getting goofier and goofier, and I’m here for it

War of the Worlds (Movie): My wife felt generally sad for humanity that this ended up getting made, which is a fair review

Wednesday (TV): Still fun, Jenna is still amazing

Titans: The Rise of Hollywood (TV): The reenactments and overall tone make this super cheesy, but the history itself is fascinating

Black Rain (Movie): Given all the elements, I wanted this to be so much better than it was

Shiny Happy People (TV): Digging the “new story per season” approach, as I hadn’t previously heard about Teen Mania Ministries

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV): Their ability to keep making great episodes at this point is almost supernatural

Super High Me (Movie): Mildly entertaining, but not sure I’d rush to watch it

Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes (TV): I’ll pretty much watch anything about Son of Sam, so keep ’em coming

Upload (TV): This really should’ve ended a while back, but generally enjoying the final batch of episodes

Happy Gilmore 2 (Movie): Dumb and fun, exactly what I wanted from it

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox (TV): I never knew all the details of the case, so I’ve been fully along for this ride

Network (Movie): Big fans on our end, check out the discussion

Peacemaker (TV): Glad it’s back, and glad it’s still as over-the-top as ever (though I think the new opening titles song isn’t quite as epic as the one from season one)

Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie (Movie): Had no idea that Chong was the mastermind playing 4D chess with their early brand and career

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV): This show keeps getting goofier and goofier, and I’m here for it

War of the Worlds (Movie): My wife felt generally sad for humanity that this ended up getting made, which is a fair review

Wednesday (TV): Still fun, Jenna is still amazing

Titans: The Rise of Hollywood (TV): The reenactments and overall tone make this super cheesy, but the history itself is fascinating

Black Rain (Movie): Given all the elements, I wanted this to be so much better than it was

Shiny Happy People (TV): Digging the “new story per season” approach, as I hadn’t previously heard about Teen Mania Ministries

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV): Their ability to keep making great episodes at this point is almost supernatural

Super High Me (Movie): Mildly entertaining, but not sure I’d rush to watch it

Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes (TV): I’ll pretty much watch anything about Son of Sam, so keep ’em coming

Upload (TV): This really should’ve ended a while back, but generally enjoying the final batch of episodes

Media Diary (August 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Alien: Earth (TV): This show has no right to be this great

Eddington (Movie): VERY good, and it’d be tough to choose between this or Midsommar as my top Aster movie

Stoner (Podcast): Interesting “first time with weed” origin stories

Katrina: Come Hell and High Water (TV): Still in the middle of this, but it’s powerful and depressing

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Movie): Light and fun, loved the cast and overall production design

Billy Joel: And So It Goes (TV): An astounding career, and a great (though long) documentary

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Movie): We went to see the 35th anniversary (!) theatrical re-release, and man does this still hold up!

The Hunting Wives (TV): Can’t believe I’m saying it out loud, but I very much enjoyed this

Deadly Lessons (Movie): This really needs to be experienced without context, then immediately chased by the Flop House episode (hat tip to to the legendary Jessica G for the recommendaysh)

The Yogurt Shop Murders (TV): Super compelling, but ultimately frustrating that we still don’t have closure

Silence (Movie): I’d never seen, but we watched after learning more about this period of Japanese history on our trip, and the movie is legitimately gripping

Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil (TV): I had no idea he’d “consulted” on the Green River Killer case, so I found it super interesting to explore the stories of both murderers

Note: It’s a much shorter list this month due to a little trip. 🇯🇵

Foundation (TV): This show is so sprawling and insane, but I can’t get enough

Superman (Movie): Huge fan, and we got to see it on the trip in English with Japanese subtitles

The Name of This Band is R.E.M. (Book): The fascinating story of one of my all-time favorite bands

Flesh and Code (Podcast): An insane story for an insane world

Squid Game (TV): Thought they brought it in for a “nice” landing

Lost in Translation (Movie): Mandatory viewing while we were in Tokyo (think I’d only seen it close to the original release)

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Movie): Speaking of requirements, watching this while in the city was a real bucket list moment for me

Shy Girl (Book): Still not sure that my jaw is fully off the ground from some of these scenes

Liberty Lost (Podcast): Compelling and enraging

Rhys Darby in Japan (TV): Watched this before we left, and it was (no surprise) a complete delight

But I’m a Cheerleader (Movie): I’d never seen it, and it was exactly what I needed it to be

Autocracy in America (Podcast): We’re BACK, baby (very reluctantly)

Dirty Dancing (Movie): Had been a while, and it still REALLY holds up (with the soundtrack of course being the stuff of legend)

Snow White (Movie): Rachel Zegler was pretty good, but man this whole thing really didn’t need to exist

Her (Movie): Hadn’t watched it in years, and it’s staggering how many of Samantha’s abilities are now just part of our daily lives

Dept. Q (TV): Super surprised by how much I enjoyed this, kind of an X-Files meets Silence of The Lambs vibe

The Phoenician Scheme (Movie): Wes is gonna Wes, but I thought this was one of his better recent entries

The Reckonings (Book): A great (and sobering) set of essays

The Mortician (TV): So good, and what a wild story

F1 (Movie): I’m so not a racing guy (though my wife has recently become a big fan), but this was fun, and pretty much exactly what I needed it to be

Pee-wee as Himself (TV): What a career, and what a bummer that he’s gone

Ballerina (Movie): Solid, and I’d definitely watch more of action star Ana

Smoke (TV): This just started, but already very promising

Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster (Movie): If you know me, you’ll know that this was my catnip

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster (Movie): Along with the other one too, obvs

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (TV/Movie): I would watch like 10 more parts of this

Repo Man (Movie): I’d seen it (at last) for the first time last year, but had a blast talking about it again with the crew

Black Mirror (TV): Very late to the new season, but glad it’s as bleak as ever

The Gilded Age (TV): Glad it’s back, along with our dog’s favorite celebrity (Pumpkin the Cavalier)

Stick (TV): Ted Lasso for golf, but it has its own charm

Mountainhead (Movie): Dumb and enjoyable

Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go (TV Movie): Huge fan of her, loved this whole set

Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem (TV Movie): What a legend

The Bear (TV): Encouraged so far by the new season as a return to form

A Minecraft Movie (Movie): Jack Black definitely gave it his all, but (as an old) this definitely didn’t change my life

Tires (TV): Yeah the main dude is problematic, but I still very much enjoy this little show

Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders (TV): I watched the last one, obvs was gonna watch this one

Twitter: Breaking the Bird (TV): Knew the story and the players, but it was just as soul-crushing to see it all recapped

Media Diary (May 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

The Four Seasons (TV): I found this to be a delight, with the Tina Fey character feeling scarily close to my wife’s whole vibe

The Four Seasons (Movie): The OG was also super fun!

Blob: A Love Story (Book): If you’ve been pining for a classic “woman falls for blob” story, you’re in luck

Sirens (TV): Also a trashy delight, and I thought all the leads were great

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (Movie): Way too long, but THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR INCREDIBLE RUNNING, Tom

Murderbot (TV): Enjoying the tone, and I always appreciate more short episodes in my life

Thunderbolts* (Movie): I’ve long been exhausted with Marvel, but this was a good return to form

Media Diary (April 2025)

Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too. 💪

Sinners (Movie): Fantastic all around

The Last of Us (TV): Continues to amaze, and “the episode” was brutal

Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism (Book): This company is an absolute plague

Melancholia (Movie): An amazing look at depression, check out our discussion

The Rehearsal (TV): I love this show more than I can put into words

Hacks (TV): So glad these ladies are back in my life

Rejection (Book): Got a little cutesy/meta at the end, but generally great

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (Movie): It’d been several years since I’d last watched it, obviously couldn’t pass up the chance to see “the high ground” on the big screen again

Andor (TV): Back and already demonstrating why it’s far and away the best Star Wars show

Your Friends & Neighbors (TV): Very fun, love the whole cast

Fragile Animals (Book): Fine, fits the bill if you’re in the market for some vamp bangin’

Dying For Sex (TV): Just started, but it’s already great

Happy Face (TV): Generally enjoying, and Dennis is definitely going for it

A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read (TV): What a wild story, keeping close eyes on how the case unfolds (along with the inevitable casting of Drea to play her in a future series)

Doctor Who (TV): A promising start, here’s hoping for a solid season
