Even with the commercials, I’m making the most of my Disney+ subscription. It was one movie after another today.

Finally finished Race To The Edge, the finale was Endgame-levels of epic! Now I can watch the second movie, maybe I'll get to that after Shangri-La Frontier.
 
So over the last few weeks, the wife and I have watched.

Latest Season of Reacher 8/10 - Far Fetched action nonsense but good to just have on when you’ve been working and don’t want want the grey matter to overwork.

Season one of Neagley (spinoff from Reacher) same score and same reason as Reacher.

Season 6 of Slow Horses - absolutely love this show. It’s not a thinker program but it’s witty and I love every character 9/10 and Sir Oldman is a delight to behold and just as magical in this as anything he’s ever done 10/10 just for Gary.
 
That lineup is fire.
Thanks. I started with Raya because the night before, I had watched Descendents: Wicked Wonderland, and I was trying to place the woman who was providing the voice of the Cheshire Cat. I knew I recognized it, but it was just escaping me. And then, just before the credits rolled, I realized it was Awkwafina. So the next movie was going to be either Raya or Chang-shi, and I’m not ready to jump back into the MCU quite yet.

Shang-Chi is a good entry point if you change your mind before your month is up. It's pretty much standalone.

[EDIT] Wait... you already watched it in June 2022. Like you, I felt it improved upon a second viewing as I did Ant-Man & The Wasp.

Yeah, I’ve really fallen off the MCU wagon in recent years. I don’t feel like it’s MCU or superhero burnout or anything like that. I’m just having a hard time motivating myself. I still need to see Deadpool and Wolverine, Thunderbolts, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and I haven’t watched an MCU TV series since Loki season 2.

I saw that too. that was really cool.

Only two downsides: This is from someone’s 40 year old VHS tape, and it looks it, and the tape ends just before the race finishes. Still, great racing, especially when it started raining.
 
I wish I was that much into cars.

Instead I watched the latest two episodes of VisionQuest which I believe contain some footage filmed close to where I live.

Near trash 😅

It’s my thing. My mom said when I was a baby, the easiest way to get me to stop crying was to give me a toy car. She remembers me sitting in my high chair, sleeping quietly, a tiny toy car clutched in each hand. Now that I’m retired, I’m not that much different. Napping in my easy chair. Cars on my TV. Speaking of which, today I’m watching Day Two of this year’s Goodwood Revival.
 
Busy catching up with Cagney and Harlow, Gable, Barrymore, Crawford and more, recorded this week (God only knows why they were shown at 8am!)
Reviews will go up on the movies thread!


Next week we've got more Cagney, more Gable and more Harlow, Robinson and Karloff, Davis (in her first movie) and Bogart...


There's a few here that must be on @TB 's list :lol:
