It was definitely on terrestrial as I watched it and my dad would never let us have Sky. He wouldn’t even let us watch ITV ffs!

It’s extraordinarily good. The importance of the documentary almost transcends the music, but the musical performances are incendiary. A must watch. Would pair well with Dave Chapelle’s Block Party I think (particularly given the Questlove connection).

I did! It was exceptionally stupid.

Mad God was mentioned quite a bit in the excellent Phill Tippett documatary included this recent Blu-ray set: Also has 13 hours of extra content! I have it and it’s great. https://screenanarchy.com/2021/07/now-on-blu-ray-the-monster-collection-for-those-who-remain-young.html

I was in tears of happiness to see these characters back, this show is like pure uncut serotonin. We’re in for a cracking season if that’s as bad as it gets!

I liked it! My mini review from films recently watched thread:

Pig (2021) - Nic Cage has his prize truffle pig stolen and he must get it back at any cost… I thought this was going to be a straight forward revenge thriller, Ba-con Wick if you will, but this is actually something far more interesting. The third act swerve is genuinely interesting in the way that it subverts expectations and it’s just awesome to see Cage do something worthy of his talents for once. 4/5

The Truffle Hunters - a series of vignettes in the lives of Italian truffle hunters. The threads are more about a dying art in general rather than a core story that pulls you through, but the scenes where they stuck a go pro on a truffle hunting dog are great. The cheeky last shot is lovely too.

Also you can rewatch it as many times as you like, so its more like buying the UHD Bluray on opening day.

I think one of the episodes is truncated version of Marvel Zombies, so certainly some of it is less MCU orientated.

It’s like Starship Troopers if you took all the satire and jokes out.

Couldn't they have just done the same thing Neighbours used to do and have him move to Brisbane?

I thought it was a very pleasant kids film that was almost entirely created from the corpses of other kids films (Namely The Little Mermaid, Moana, Ponyo, Onward, and a dash of Cool Runnings). Could have done with a bit more humour too. Very pretty though. Deffo mid-tier Pixar.
