"350 Days" boasts an impressive lineup of interviewees sharing eye-opening recollections - if you're into rasslin'.

That "Constantine: The House Of Mystery" cover is misleading. As seen by me, it was one of four shorts run together as a single movie-length program on Netsy. The other three featured Kamandi, The Losers and Blue Beetle. Didn't love any of them.

"Enola Holmes 2" outdoes the original. A perfect all-ages adventure-romance with dashes of mystery and real history. I'd honestly rather have more of these from MBB than more "Stranger Things".

Hammer doco (from 1994) is epic.

"Turtles" a rewatch. I was terribly disappointed when I saw it at the cinema in 1990. In hindsight, it isn't terrible. It's pretty faithful to the lore and spirit of the comic/cartoon, and contains everything you could ask for in an initial live-action adaptation except mebbe Bebop and Rocksteady. However, it's severely lacking in star power. Imagine if April and Casey had been played by, say, the "Willow" pairing of Joanne Whalley and Val Kilmer. Woulda added so much.

"Assassination" focuses on an odd and undeniably suspicious character. But that's all she is. There's no definite alternate explanation presented.
