Have to give a big recommendation to the documentary ‘Sins of our Mother’. Stumbled upon it by accident and reading the summary had everything I like ‘crime, religion, brainwashing, bumbling police, cliff hangers, a hot woman who potentially is evil’. I wasn’t let down. Binged the whole thing in one go. The world is crazy.

Another documentary that blew my mind was https://youtu.be/AbsaUHdxGHg the documentary on hot yoga but it’s crazy guru bikram. About 15 years ago my mate was dating a girl running a hot yoga studio and he was telling me all these bizarre things about when she was being trained by him. Thought it was embellished in order for an entertaining story. Well that’s not my opinion anymore. But this is a must watch. Again the world is nuts.

Not sure if mentioned but Season 4 of Fauda is due to arrive on Jan 20th - looking forward to that.

Recommend Woman of the dead, Austrian whodunnit, northern Europe and Scandinavian shows seem to be right up my street so maybe not for everyone

budgemook · 08-01-2023 9:25pm

Looking forward to White Noise now. Last film with similar comments on here was The Lost Daughter, which I thought was great :D

Zak Flaps · 09-01-2023 3:01am

As someone who didn't know the full story about him, I found MADOFF:The Monster Of Wall Street absolutely fascinating.

Oh so it's good to go in blind then?. Whatever i knew of it i've forgotten but i've it listed up to watch

noahungry · 09-01-2023 11:07am

I watched God's crooked lines recently, a great psychological thriller by one of my favorite directors Oriol Paulo (The Invisible guest, Mirage, The body...). I definitely recommend watching it, same goes for his other movies I mentioned and The innocent (mini-series).

I finally watched RRR, and its all the thing everyone said it was. But I was confused about the language and subtitles. When it started they were speaking English so I didn't think anything of it. But then the locals started speaking it to each other, and I realised it was on the English dub. I could only find Hindi on the options for audio, but at times it still looked like it was dubbed?

yea - the Hindi version is also a dubbed version (the original language that the actors are talking in is a language called Telegu, form the south of India)

I thought that but Netflix only seem to have the Hindi version, which is odd.

johnny_ultimate · 09-01-2023 9:36pm

Yeah for whatever reason Netflix only have the Hindi rights to the film - I remember that being specified when they released it. It’s standard practice in India for there to be multiple language versions of the same film (sometimes to the extent of filming every scene in two languages) but it is strange they don’t have the original language version in this case. Hindi version is what I saw in the cinema too, although think the Telegu version was also available for at least some screenings.

S.M.B. · 09-01-2023 9:43pm

They never acquired the rights to the original Telugu version. Not sure whether that was Netflix trying to be cheap and assuming the majority of their subscribers would want the dubbed version or whether it never was on offer.

pixelburp · 09-01-2023 9:59pm

Must summon the energy to watch RRR these days, but 3 hours of maximalist madness doesn't always seem enticing enough to try.

DJIMI TRARORE · 09-01-2023 10:21pm

Just finished Kaleidoscope,, enjoyable enough, a few too many flash back/forward scenes,but overall a good story,well packaged 8/10

I had to watch it in two sittings. I can see the appeal of watching it in a cinema, or with a group of people. It is ridiculous fun. Watching it alone on a Monday afternoon, it was a bit of a slog at times.

I thought it was very poor. Its a fascinating story, I even read a book about him a few years back(No one would listen) but I found this documentary was incredibly boring and shallow considering the length. I'd say you could easily just watch the first and last episodes and not be missing much. The recreations were awful too

@Gremlinertia Maybe it's best going in blind. I enjoyed it as I found the story to be fascinating whereas @youcancallmeal knew the story and read a book about it, but didn't like it at all.

peteeeed · 10-01-2023 9:12am

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (2023) This shocking documentary chronicles a happy-go-lucky nomad's ascent to viral stardom and the steep downward spiral that resulted in his imprisonment.

Recently watched it myself. I enjoyed it and thought the concept was very good. I'd love to know how other people got to view it.

My last 3 episodes where, The Day After the Hoist, 6 Months After the Hoist, and then the Day of the Hoist. In my opinon it worked out perfect that way. After wathching the Day after the Hoist it was very clear how it was going to end.

The 2016 Madoff mini series with Richard Dreyfuss is excellent viewing and very hard to beat I imagine by any doc

cozar · 10-01-2023 9:59am

The Glory is really good. a Korean tale of revenege by a woman who was severely bullied in school. Part 1 has 8 episodes and part 2 will be out in March.

Thread for it here:

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058273146/kaleidoscope-netflix-spoilers

For those not finished it yet, although the thread title includes spoiler warnings because the format was supposed to encourage open discussion leading up to the finale, it didn't quite work out that way. So there are spoiler tags at all times so far in the thread.

Cowabunga!

EDIT: Tried using a dual shock controller over bluetooth with a good spec android box. The lag on the controls is terrible. If anyone gets a good controller connection to android please post details here.

The Pale Blue eye

Watched this last night and It was a lot better than I thought it'd be. The acting from Christian Bale and harry melling really elevates this to another level. Theres a scene near the end between the two of them that kind of goes beyond acting. All in all a good shout.
