What are you watching?

Oh good! Yeah Challengers is the film that made me really appreciate Zendaya as well. I never disliked her (I used to watch her on Disney Channel so I always had a slight bias for her lmao) but I do think her roles in franchises like MCU Spider-Man and Dune don't give her much wiggle room to really show off what she can do.

Speaking of actors from both films I also thought Hailey Gates was really good as Misha, kinda surprised that she's not really been in loads because she always seems so familiar. (She was good in The Moment as well lmao)

Also I've been listening to this constantly because of The Drama:


It's not on Apple Music so I just bought it for £1.50 off the artist's bandcamp lol

Agree about Hailey Gates and I had that exact same familiar feeling, Alana Haim was great too. Really didn't see her breaking into an acting career that has already taken her into an Oscar BP winning movie as well as an A24 movie with Zendaya and Pattinson lol.

I love Bandcamp. I'm definitely hitting up the soundtrack on the drive home today, it's a lovely feeling when I'm excited to do that after seeing something before work.

Any The Boys enjoyers? The 5th (and final season) has just begun

I stopped after like two episodes of season 4. It wasn't bad, it just didn't grip me and I don't remember what happened in those episodes. I thought it peaked in Season 1, two was still very, very good. Three was decent but ended with a whimper. I'll catch up at some point. Gen V season 1 felt better than the majority of "The Boys" at one point and I never got round to the second season of that.

I get it. Season 4 definitely became a lot more heavy handed in terms of the satirising of the MAGA cult, and does sort of rely more on shock value than nuanced writing.

Still find myself too invested in overall arching narrative of "Let's kill Homelander" to stop now though.
