Episode 99 - Police Story

Dragon on The Couch: The Dragon has begun watching the 3^rd season of The Boys (Prime), a TV show about corporate run super heroes in modern day America. She really enjoys the season thus far and its commentary. She also went to the theatre to watch Thor: Love and Thunder (Theater), the latest Marvel film. She and Berto, who also watched it, agreed that it was enjoyable, but the previous Thor film was better.

 

Berto on the Bed: Berto watched Empire State (Netflix), a film based on the actual robbery of the Empire Armored Car Company. He thought it had all the elements to be a great movie, but it turned out to be only fine and serviceable. Next, Berto watched Tuff Terf (Prime), an odd film that seemed to be a 1980’s version of Rebel Without A Cause. He thought it would have been entertaining if it was shorter, but it had crazy tone shifts. Next, Berto watched Operation Mincemeat (Netflix), a British film about the WWII operation. He thought it was a bit too long, but was a good “dad” film. Finally, Berto finished season 2 of Atlanta (Hulu), Donald Glover’s TV show. He thought the 2^nd season was just as good and enjoyable as the first.

 

In this week’s deep dive we watched the 1985 Hong Kong action film Police Story, currently streaming on HBO Max.
