The first season was interesting and well done. Ashley Judd mucks up Season 2+. It's doubtful I'll make it to Season 3 since she's difficult to stomach.

One of the Best

All episodes are exceptionally good but this is one of my favorites. The writing is clever and witty including the usual hat tips to great movies. This episode even features a short Gene Hackman clip from (I think; please correct me) Split Decisions. Fabulous fun.
Munich: The Edge of War
(2021)
Garbage
21 January 2022
Seems there are many "studio inspired" positive reviews here. This is certainly no 10! First, the film should have carried a "historical fiction" disclaimer as most of the events depicted never happened. Second, the Munich agreement didn't "buy time," in fact after Poland was invaded and Britain declared war on Germany, there was no war. The peaceful interlude, called the "phony war," bought time to prepare for war, not Munich. I suppose this propaganda was made to rehabilitate Chamberlain's image. Meh.
For a truly historical account of these events watch Darkest Hour (2017).

The Great Hack

Not engrossing. Just gross.

Fact is, this is propaganda, not an objective documentary. If you realize and accept that fact, a lot of useful information can be gleaned. In light of the censorship and de-platforming that has occurred since this program was filmed, one can easily see that the only defense against such powerful manipulation and propaganda is critical thinking. What seems so isn't so.

Justice

I was born and raised in Alabama. I left the state in 1966 for the Army and Vietnam. The facts of this true story sicken me, they embarrass me and they anger me.
Whether it's Walter McMillian in the 1990's Alabama or General Michael Flynn today, miscarriages of Justice and the blatant abuse of power have no place in a civilized society. Perhaps this film will make this clear to those who have difficulty grasping that simple concept.

Season 1 is Excellent

Unfortunately, Season 2 was a disappointment. Awful acting on the part of two new additions to the cast. You'll spot them immediately - one man, one woman.
I don't understand how producers can make mindless mistakes like this and effectively kill a promising series.

The King

More Hollywood Butchery

One reviewer wrote "it's hard to fault it."
Really? Not at all.
It's a fictionalized account of one of the most celebrated battles in English history - Agincourt - and of one of England's most celebrated kings, Henry V.
This film is slightly more botched than Dunkirk and more insane than 1917. All were botched "historical" films.
On a positive note, at least Hollywood got "Midway" right.

The Two Popes

Well Done

A very entertaining film. Sadly, few people realize what they are watching or even begin to grasp the film's message and intent. This movie is pure propaganda for Liberation Theology and Marxist ideology. View it critically.
