On Four Corners tonight (check your local guides):
Channel Seven bills itself as a family network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, described as a "degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.
Expect the attacks on the ABC to intensify .....

Laid up in bed this weekend with COVID. First time I've had it as far I know. Over the years all the RATs I did were negative but I finally got a positive this weekend. Yesterday was all fever and headaches.
This episode feels like the production has worked out the kinks of the new series. It's really great.

- Love Lies Bleeding
There's a few versions of the poster for this film. I chose the one without a gun. Bang bang.
The films tagline is Revenge gets ripped. I don't think this is a revenge movie. Not in the vein of the current genre of revenge flicks anyway.
I'd say this a romantic drama about two young women, one a body builder the other a gym manager who meet, hook up and fall in love.
But then shit gets real and violent consequences happen. It's set in the 80s for some reason, in New Mexico I think. There's some cool audio production, a few laughs and even some fantastical elements.
Some stuff might have gone over the top of my head. News coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall on the tele in one or two scenes didn't seem to connect with anything other than the time setting. A tape recording of the ills of smoking and nicotine hint at something more than the fact that the main character struggles with quitting. Who knows, not me right now.
Check it out if you can. Screening in cinemas across oz.

Hope it's OK to post about movies on the big screen here. I figure I might do this until a flicks comm is created. I wanted to avoid using other instances movie comms.
We saw this the other night. It's brilliant. The main character is an artist (photographer) who works as a public toilet cleaner. A lot of reviews seem to have missed the connection to art and artists but that's understandable, the storytelling is subtle.
The last few scenes of the film might make you ball your eyes out in hope and joy. Or not.
- Evil (2019-2024)
Evil is a wickedly fun monster of the week show and our latest 'guilty pleasure'. We're half a dozen episodes into the first season and Michael Emerson is creeping me out again. Also the costumes are amazing. For locals the first three seasons are available on Stan and other streaming services if you're subbed. Synopsis below.
A skeptical clinical psychologist joins a priest-in-training and a blue-collar contractor as they investigate supposed miracles, demonic possessions, and other extraordinary occurrences to see if something truly supernatural is at work.
- Estonia (2023)www.sbs.com.au Estonia
Explores the reason behind the sinking of the MS Estonia as it was crossing the Baltic Sea and its aftermath, with the help of exclusive interviews and footage.
We're a couple of episode in. Reminds me a bit of Chernobyl. I don't know how best to describe the storytelling or narrative. It follows the investigation into the sinking and we get to see glimpses into the tragedy as it unfolds from the perspectives of the survivors, emergency crews and rescuers, and other folks who played a role in supporting the families and friends of the passengers as the investigation unfolds.

Low-key SciFi comedy from China. Hadn't heard of it before tonight. About halfway through so far. Bit of a slog at first but it's getting more interesting as the story progresses.

I know more than a few people will be reluctant to go in on another Star Trek show after Discovery. But even my wife (who is kind of into scifi but isnt a startrek fan) has gotten into Strange New Worlds. You dont have to be a Star Trek fan. So far theres only been one episode my wife had to ask "What was all that about". Its a real "adventure of the week" kind of show, which is refreshing in this "every show must have an overarching seasonal plot" world we live in. We're having a lot of fun with it!
