That was some win. College football is mental over there.
Watched Lansky last night. Iād say during filming Harvey Keitel was thinking āWhat have I done to deserve this?ā having to star with Sam Worthington. The Aussie is a terrible actor

I thought the Johnny Football documentary on Netflix was a wasted opportunity. Way too short and went through things at warp speed. Needs 7 or 8 hours to do his story justice.

Iām reading Empire of Pain at the moment about the Purdue/Oxycontin thing. Some read. Must watch one of these tv programmes too.
Ironic given itās Netflix and they usually overdo documentaries.

Finished Painkiller. Enjoyable watch, even if a little grim. Crazy story really.
Itās similar enough to Dopesick which came out a couple of years ago.

Thereās a few good docos on YouTube at āground zeroā of the opiod crisis in the Appalachians. Just look for Peter Santanelloās stuff.
Also the Soft White Underbelly docos on YT have loads of interviews with people who are on or were on opiods.

The chalk line is a decent film as these things go.
The bill Russell documentary is outstanding.

Finished the last season.
Bit disappointing overall, I felt. Still watchable, a 6/10 overall, just not as good as previous seasons.
The Irish āfirmā were comical, Barry Keoghan and his uncle. Plenty of holes in the plot line.
Jaq was the best character in it. Yes, fam. In a minute, yeah.

Totally agree. It was a let down. I was disappointed in that last season to be honest. It wasnāt a patch on the four previous seasons. The Barry Keoghan thing didnt work at all. Just seemed like an over exagerated character.
The Micks were meant to be this fearsome firm but seemed to only number about three of them.
Could have been an awful lot better. A pity.
Started this German thriller called āDear Childā. Two episodes in, itās really good so far.

Dear child is a great series.
Its a tough watch and confirms my view of a lot of Germans being weird cunts. Its excellent though.
Some amount of twists and turns in it.
Great to see āCastlevaniaā back on Netflix; very entertaining and violent action scenes.
The Man United Footix of the forum will be delighted with the new David Beckham documentary. Jimmy Magee commentary on the Maradona handball makes a special appearance in the first episode. Poor auld Victoria doesnāt look natural at all these days.

Sheās nearly 50 sure, give her a break.
Itās a good watch. Posh Becks definitely limited him becoming an even better player but he made it back financially from her through the fame.

Yeah mad stuff staying up until 3 in the morning before big games chatting to her on the phone. The show seemed to completely skip the 1995-96 season and made it seem like the goal from inside his own half was his breakthrough when he was already a double winner by then. Iād say his auld lad saying ānobody had ever scored from inside their own half beforeā was factually incorrect too.
