Daniel Pemberton: Slow Horses – Season 1 (ATV+ Original Series Soundtrack)

Daniel Pemberton Slow Horses: Season 1 (ATV+ Original Series Soundtrack) Apple Video Programming LLC/Jackson River Films Limited, Polydor/Universal I’m a big fan of the show Slow Horses – genius writing, casting, excellent source material, the look and feel of it is perfect too; a winner.

They Call Him Magic: The Magic Johnson Doco Series

We all have our lists of pandemic viewing, the things we got into because of forced closures and time spent indoors – and one of the big ones was The Last Dance – ostensibly about The Chicago Bulls basketball team, but really about Michael Jordan’s mile-wide competitive streak. I lapped up The Last Dance, compulsive […]

Joshua Moshier: The Shrink Next Door (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack)

Joshua Moshier The Shrink Next Door (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I’m really enjoying the TV series The Shrink Next Door which tells the stranger-than-fiction true tale of a psychiatrist who manipulates his patient into friendship and hoodwinks him out of dollars and pads his own status.

Short Story: The Real Reason For The Downturn In Patience

The doctor saw the apple not so much as an enemy, more healthy competition. Besides, there was no proof that his patient numbers were down because of the supermarket’s fresh supply of bold, red apples. People weren’t seeing their doctor as often these days because of Dr. Google. That was the real enemy. (Not even […]

The Beatles – Get Back: Film

The Beatles: Get Back Director: Peter Jackson Walt Disney Studios / Apple Corps Ltd.

In Praise of ‘The Morning Show’

Over the weekend we finished the final episodes of season two of The Morning Show. I liked this show a lot. It’s a smart soap-opera, a compelling and very straight-faced satire. The Morning Show debuted in 2019 as a flagship for then-new streaming platform, Apple TV+ and its stacked cast – Steve Carrell, Jennifer Aniston, […]

The Velvet Underground: Film

The Velvet Underground Director: Todd Haynes AppleTV+ Todd Haynes’ brand new documentary that is simply called “The Velvet Underground” started streaming on Apple TV+ over the weekend. John Cale’s abrasive viola strikes filled the room. A split-screen and black and white. I’m sold already.
