Ricky Gervais: SuperNature

Ricky Gervais: SuperNature Director: Ricky Gervais Netflix I haven’t found Ricky Gervais funny for a lot longer than I ever found him funny, something I explored when I made the wrong move of watching season three of After Life (I had mostly enjoyed the first two seasons, the first especially).

The Crude Farce of After Life Season Three

I haven’t always had a problem with Ricky Gervais. I was a big fan of The Office – who wasn’t? I think Extras was possibly better, smarter. And, at the time, I was even into his stand-up comedy specials. Each one arriving with special-club buzz. They haven’t aged well. They weren’t really great at the […]

In Praise of 2021’s TV Shows (TIME Magazine’s List)

It’s the time of the year where we get – and share – lists. Some of us make them. And I’m not talking about lists of gifts we want. I mean the annual line-up of best films, best books, best albums and so on… Well, earlier I read TIME magazine’s 10 Best TV Shows of […]

Leo Birenberg & Zach Robinson: Cobra Kai – Season 3

Leo Birenberg & Zach Robinson Cobra Kai: Season 3 (Soundtrack from the Netflix Original Series) Sony Pictures Television Inc., under exclusive license to Madison Gate Records One of my favourite TV shows of recent years is Cobra Kai – which I reckon is a masterclass in pure storytelling. And is clever at blending flashbacks with […]

Clickbait: TV

It’s a Netflix show, so much like Russian Doll and You and, er, most Netflix shows, it’s made to be watched in the background while you also scroll through your phone. It’s also probably pretty sure it’s a lot smarter than it is. This is Netflix. Starring Adrian Grenier (Entourage) – though to say he […]

Movies of My Life # 24: Uncut Gems

When I first watched Uncut Gems it stayed with me. That first viewing stays with me still. But I’ve recently watched it a few more times. And I’ve bought the soundtrack on vinyl. And I’ve realised this modern classic is a big part of my life. I think about it often. It might be going […]

Brooke Blair & Will Blair: Night Stalker – The Hunt for a Serial Killer

Brooke Blair & Will Blair Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer Maisie Music Publishing, LLC I became a tiny bit obsessed with the Night Stalker story when I saw a framed, signed picture of Richard Ramirez in a Sydney record shop. It was $1,000 and I was super-keen to own it. A bargain […]

TV Shows That Meant The World To Me: #13 – Chappelle’s Show

I’m not saying I was the first person in New Zealand to watch Chappelle’s Show – the influential sketch comedy show by Dave Chappelle. But I must have been close. The show ran from 2003-2006 and it wasn’t on any network here. The DVDs had to be imported – and I was working in a […]

Adam Crystal Bonding (Original Music From the Netflix Series) Lakeshore Records The Netflix show Bonding, a light-hearted look at the kink-industry – telling the story of a bondage dominatrix side-hustle (she’s a uni student that needs to pay the bills) – provides a reasonable amount of laughs and gets the job done, each episode coming […]

Hans Zimmer & David Fleming Hillbilly Elegy (Music from the Netflix Film) Milan Like everyone, I would hope, I struggled with the movie Hillbilly Elegy – I wanted to like it and in fact I could not flat out hate it. Because the lead performances are very strong. And there was something about it that […]

Kevin Smuts My Octopus Teacher [Music From The Netflix Documentary] Maisie Music Publishing, LLC For me, by far and away the best thing about the recent Netflix documentary hit, My Octopus Teacher was its soundtrack.

Sean Murray: Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

Sean Murray Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sean Murray I was watching Avengement the other day on Netflix. I’m a big fan of the Jesse V. Johnson / Scott Adkins vehicles where everything is solved through big barroom beat-em-ups and a bit of martial hurts actually hurts everyone in the end, and during the middle, […]
