RoboDoc - The Creation of RoboCop. This is fudging glorious. We're all of an age to love RoboCop and this is a definitive guide. If you a cinephile is pure catnip.

Today I watched:- Pinball The Man Who Saved The Game. A simple film with an agreeable quirky gimmick. I can't 'sell' it as I think it's one of those films which, if you're charmed by it, it'll be because of its under the radarness. I'd categorise it as a very good wet Sunday afternooner.

It's an odd decision esp on the back of The Beekeeper which I believe is equally stoooopid but made a gazillion dollars in cinemas in January. That said Doug Liman is one crazy chicken. I can't remember all the behind the camera gossip, but my guys lay it all out somewhere in here. Liman cost...

I must say 24 hours after watching Roadhouse a line is said pre rib-boat fight that's still making me laugh, and has made me laugh all day. I'm just gutted it's one that'll be almost impossible to use. The film is still shite, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and yet have spent the day...

My film pod of choice, The Rewatchables, did the original Roadhouse a couple of weeks ago. Tremendous fun, as you'd expect. I'm now watching the remake, obviously it's not the original but they seem to have stayed true to the overarching silliness. 40 mins in and it's standard Saturday night...

I've rather enjoyed Primo on Freevee. Fairly standard coming of age/dysfunctional family fare, but I think there's enough there to rise it above crop. The creator, Shea Serrano, used to collaborate with an American podcast I listen too, but I don't think that's influenced me.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it, I assume you're also a fan of Best In Show, the fictional version. I've spent the morning 'selling' Chicken People at work, to say it's not going well would be an understatement 😆

Clucking brilliant. Act II gets a bit 'real life' , but either side it's a glorious look at competing in The Ohio National Poultry Show. Come on - who doesn't want to watch that?

I've just started watching Chicken People I'm 10 minutes in and it's phenomenal.

I rather wish I hadn't opened this can of worms. Feels rather incongruous on what is essentially an 'escapism' thread.

I don't disagree. JC loves, and has made a career out of, stepping over the line. Don't know what prompted this one, and I don't really care, but do think instead of stepping he drove across the line at 200mph, not really bothering to brake.

There's offending and then there's what he wrote.

For the programme less so the man!

The weapons grade parody that is Jeremy Clarkson is back with his second series of Farm. I'm guessing in light of recent events it'll also be the last series, which is a shame as the Stats do rather enjoy this once he loses the bluster.

Last night I watched an Ian Cognito retrospective which is well worth a look. The Ricky Grover anecdote alone is worth the entrance fee.

Highly recommended

Greg Garcia has a Covid themed comedy. Only 10 mins in and it's VERY Garcia, which is fine by me - very funny.

James May is now swanning around Italia.

The Way Back, titled Finding the Way Back in the United Kingdom. You might have missed this as it was released the same time as Covid! It's well worth a look. Affleck plays a functioning alcoholic roped into coaching. It's not the most original of plots but is very well told and Affleck puts...

The first series of Brockmire is on. It's fantastic. If they pick up the second series, don't bother it's shite. The third series is back on track.
