Monarch. And so far it’s a disapointment for me. It’s not bad per se, but to me it commits the same mistake as the vast majority of kaiju media produced in the West: human drama that doesn’t build up or complement the kaiju threat.

There’s no tension, no sense that those creatures are an existential to humanity. It’s mostly treated as a classic monster showcase, and that sucks :c

I know things deviate from their intent over time, but the idea of representing the dread of nuclear annihilation through a monster that could come out from anywhere is so compelling on its own, that I don’t know why it’s completely abandonned in western media about kaiju.

However, I wouldn’t be making this comment if the human drama was top tier I think. As it stands it’s serviceable. Not bad, but nothing great either. It’s kind of bland honestly.

Well being new to Apple TV and + I’m finally watching Ted Lasso. Season one was great. Two… eh ok. Season Three…. I’ll just say at this point I feel committed and am going to finish it and hope it gets better.

The middle child and I are doing a Mando rewatch is season 2 (his suggestion)

For All Mankind. I had a hard time getting into the show just because you have to believe in an alternate reality but it got better the second season and beyond.

That movie Fingernails was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever watched on TV. I can’t believe Apple would pay money to make that movie.

Finished Morning Show And watching Lessons in Chemistry- both very good dramas

National Geographic stuff on Disney+

Oppenheimer.

Bad sisters, physical, platonic.

Blue eye samurai

Has anyone seen Silo? How is it?
