Big Trouble in Little China (Fedi film club)

I liked it and definitely saw the charm, though I thought it fell flat in the final act.

Terminator 2 Jusgment Day (Fedi film club too)

… and my partner hadn’t seen it so I was showing them).

Still good and stands up. The Sarah Conor character is definitely still relevant in today’s industry’s attempt at doing better with women and female characters. Again, strangely, the final act felt underwhelming.

The Boys season 4.

I liked it. Better than S3 and more character driven and still hitting the satire hard. What happened with Starlight was pretty interesting I thought.

But definitely had about 2 episodes that were clearly filler IMO. Getting a bit tired of even 8-12 episode seasons having obvious filler. We’ve whittled tv seasons down to basically film production lengths now (8-12 episodes is about I LoTR trilogy) … may as well make the whole screen time as killer as possible without getting hung up having X episodes (I know, ads)
