'The Sixth Commandment'
Watched on BritBox
(8/10)
I know BritBox is doing fine and all that but it is really a shame that a show this good is trapped in BritBox purgatory where a very small percent of people will even know it exists. It invites you to rubberneck as it retells the story of an English man who poisons and gaslights two elderly people in an effort to get included in their will. The acting is extraordinary as well!
'Immaculate'

Still surprised by how fast this movie burns through it's plot. Love the idea that this is what's happening behind closed doors in churches in Italy.
‘High on the Hog’ (4.5/10)- Rare to see a host of a travel/food show completely sink a show due to lack of charisma but that is exactly what we have here. Instead of a personality Satterfield leans into performative seriousness and performative humility and none of it feels real.
Some of his highlights include mansplaning what a candy bar is and delivering one of the least genuine “yum”s I have ever seen on film or IRL.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
‘In Her Room’
Watched at Walter Reade Theater
(3.5/10)
Sorry to say but this one stinks. It’s about some beta dude who gets a gf who is way too hot for him. Then he learns she has other dudes on her roster and has a full-on meltdown that causes him to stalk her, carve her head into a block of wood, and jerk-off into her trash can. He tries to hang but he’s soft so he can’t. So instead he humps her best friend, mopes about and decides to move to Nagasaki. Sorry, spoiler alert!
