Hey there gang! Spotlight number 122. Wherein I up periscope, and survey the cinematic landscape to see what might be out there in the land of technicolor and see if we can’t find you something interesting to watch today.
THE BEAR SEASON 2 – 06.23.2023
Have I told you about Bear Season 2 already on the THiNC. Spotlight? DOESN’T MATTER! The Bear is one of my most recent obsessions (thanks to @Shelbzilla & @Lisa on the THiNC. Discord). Just finished a rewatch of Season 1 with my son, and look forward to watching Season 2 with him. Such a great show. And word is season 2 is also fantastic.
RUN RABBIT RUN – 6.28.2023
Succession fans don’t need me to explain why this movie is on the Spotlight. You know Shiv, and you know her brilliance. “Sarah Snook plays a single mother frightened by her young daughter’s inexplicable memories of a past identity.” Sarah + this plot line = me standing in line waiting for Netflix to drop this thing.
PAST LIVES – 6.23.2023
Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Decades later, they are reunited for one fateful week as they confront destiny, love and the choices that make a life.
Previously on Spotlight Worth Mentioning:
THE BEAR S2 – Such an epically great show… can’t recommend enough.
DISCONTINUED – Great Indie outside the box film, definitely recommend.
REALITY – Real-time movie based on FBI interview audio. Intriguing!
TED LASSO – For the win!
INFLUENCER – Lisa over on Discord is saying it’s a must watch, I will soon.
FORCE MAJEURE – A super subtle Swedish/French film about failure.
