Boy, that scalated slowly.
finished watching Black Sails Season 4
I can't believe that a show that started so bad, and I mean Bad, ended up being so engaging and thought provoking.
Maybe I underestimated it so hard that I made a big deal of a few redeeming qualities, but maybe it gradually became good. I just finished the last episode and I'm still puzzled by the trip, so I might have to rewatch it some day to make up my mind.
In any case, I recommend searching "black sails woke" on your least annoying search engine and enjoy the copious amounts of fash tears that you'll find.

I loved it. 10/10. No notes.
finished watching Novocaine 馃寱馃寱馃寱馃寫馃寫
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.
I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.
Opinions welcome.

The stunts, capturing real humans and objects on camera... that materiality makes all the difference. If every action movie was made like this, you couldn't get me out of the cinema.
Everything else about it? I don't know, I don't care that much. I do care about those brief moments when I feel like a kid watching movies, that's rare and this one manages to pull it off several times. So thank you, you weird scientologist, I don't know why you risk your life for this, but thank you.

finished listening DUST 馃寱馃寱馃寱馃寱馃寱
(I've only listened to the third season, Chrysalis. Standalone story, unlike the two previous anthology seasons)
Science fiction story with actual science fiction ideas and an addictive rhythm. Expect musings about AI (not the bullshit we're enduring these days) and human nature, genocide, a tad of space battle tactics... all of it brought to life mainly by the protagonist's performance. That voice alone could carry the whole show, making us feel all the changes he, or it, goes through.
I didn't like that aliens behave just like humans, but, if there is harder sci-fi on podcast form, I haven't found it.
