This show continues to thrill and intrigue. Just as things seemed to get to a kind of conclusion at the end of the first episodes, things changed. So it also is at the end of these episodes.
In between there are all sorts of surprises and developments which are tragic and whose real life equivalents are all too believable, especially in these days of news media manipulation.
I can’t wait for the third batch of episodes!
Very highly recommended!

Please Murder Me (1956)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Please_Murder_Me
The title is so bonkers it almost seems like a parody along the lines of “Naked Gun”, but hey the genre of “people who arrange their own murder” has some notable entries. “Bullworth” anyone? Aki Kaurismäki's “I Hired A Contract Killer”?
There's another one on the tip of my tongue. One of you will know.

Folks we are about an hour out from #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. It's a big ol' tootstorm, so if you don't wanna join in I'd suggest filtering the hashtag.
If you DO want to join in, though, this week we're watching KRULL (1983), a sword-and-sorcery flop featuring a bunch of babyfaced future stars!
The movie's available on Tubi, or from Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/krull.-1983.1080p.-blu-ray.x-264.-yify_202408
Hit play at 9pm Eastern and toot about it with us!
I watched the fan-made Alien 3 Legacy Cut last night. It’s fantastic in every way. The definitive version of the film as far as I’m concerned. Already an underrated film, but this edit takes the best of the theatrical and assembly cuts and upscales it all to 4K with new color timing. The best part is the improvements to the compositing of the alien.

#OnThisDay, April 13, 1970, the NASA Mission Control Center received a radio communication from Apollo 13 astronauts John "Jack" Swigert and Jim Lovell: “Uh, Houston, we’ve had a problem.” (depicted in Apollo 13, 1995)
J'ai vu Steppenwolf, un film Kazakhe.
Âmes sensibles s'abstenir.
Tamara recherche son fils enlevé par un seigneur de guerre, elle est aidée par un mercenaire impitoyable.
Un road movie très sanguinaire.
C'est très étonnant, déconcertant.
De petites touches d'humour noir, de sublimes paysages et certaines scènes quasi surréalistes le rendent plus soutenable.
Je l'ai perçu un peu comme un conte.
Un conte maléfique... Et puissant.

Shield for Murder (1954)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_for_Murder
Nice tones, nice composition, nice brushstroke-y design elements. Has he hit that guy? Is he going to hit that guy? Very clunky title though.
#137 - https://boxd.it/U1VS #2025MovieMarathon #Cinemastodon #Netflix #Drama #Scifi #Movies #Short This is pretty good stuff.
