With virtually everything now shut down and no one even having meetings because of the coronavirus, unsurprisingly there’s not much news today. But here’s some trailers
And Orange Thursday is back on double duty, with two films to talk about, albeit on a Friday since I ran out of time yesterday.
The first is due out this month and is a biopic of the double Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie – Radioactive. The other is an origin story for an Oscar-winning supervillain – Joker.
Who says there’s not diversity of awards on TMINE?
See you after the ads and the trailer.
Appropriately enough for Friday 13th, most of the news today is about how production is temporarily shutting down on virtually every TV show, theatre and movie currently being made or about to be made (NBCUniversal is shutting down 35 shows, for example), as well as all the upfronts. I can’t list them all, so just assume that that show you like? It’s temporarily shutting down
But here’s what non-coronavirus news there is:
It’s been a quieter week this week, with nary a Boxset to be seen. However, TMINE did review the first two episodes of Devs (US: Hulu; UK: BBC Two). Meanwhile, Orange Thursday didn’t quite fulfil its usual mandate, only managing to take in the one movie: Dark Waters (2019).
In terms of new shows, after realising that Temple (US: Spectrum) was actually Temple (UK: Sky One) and removing it from the list, I managed to take in Dave (US: FXX) and Amazing Stories (Apple TV+), both of which I’ll be talking about after the jump.
Coming some time in the week will be a review of The Plot Against America (US: HBO; UK: Sky Atlantic), I hope, but that’s about it for new TV, so I might find a boxset somewhere to review as well. I suspect it’ll be season three of Babylon Berlin (Germany: Sky; UK: Sky Atlantic), given I’ve now watched the first four episodes.
Meanwhile, tomorrow’s Orange Thursday will be back to its usual double-barrelled glory with a preview of Radioactive (2020) and a review of Joker (2019).
The regulars list is starting to swell again. After the jump, I’ll be letting you know what I thought of the latest episodes: For Life, Star Trek: Picard, Stateless, Stumptown, Transplant, and War of the Worlds, as well as the series finale of The Outsider.
