The Back Side of Television (2021)
Insightful and enlightening!
I thought I was a discerning viewer until I watched this show. A behind-the-scenes analysis of the decision-making processes that determine why and how shows come and go. Not what I was expecting, but entertaining and enlightening.
S2/E3 my favourite episode overall. Great insight into current news reporting and its ability to exaggerate and catastrophise and dramatise even a non-story. Also includes a historical comparison of news, now and then.
MIght have scored a 10/10, but minus one point for the blatant omission of any Foxtel show combined with the shameless plugging about the opening credits of a Foxtel show... isn't it ironic?
Nope (2022)
Nope is a big Yep!
Not sure why so many negative reviews. Sure, it was not what I was expecting, but I've come to expect that from Jordan Peele. How does he come up with this stuff... he has quite the imagination!
If you stop watching the film for what you think it should be, and simply enjoy it for what it is, you are in for a real treat. A little slow to start, i couldn't figure out where it was going, but as it drew closer to the end, I literally found myself on the edge of my seat.
Brilliant acting all round, I've become a big an of Daniel Kaluuya. I highly recommend this film if you are willing to forego any misconceptions and preconceptions about the film.
