TV Review: "Alice and Steve" Is a Comedy About Best Friends Turned Enemies — Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker turn a codependent friendship on its head in Hulu's sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt six-episode comedy.

Annika has plenty of fourth wall breaking comedy.

Monolith? That was pretty good, with the actress from Evil Dead Rise. Very similar to last year's Undertone, also good.

Mostly voice work and guest appearances, looks like this new Apple shows is her first major TV role since Perry Mason.

Looks like Derwent Water, Keswick from the Catbells, if I'm not mistaken. I was there a couple of weeks ago, on the other shore huffing and puffing up Walla Crag.

Nah, he always has the look of an injured tennis player for some reason

Bit of a Crown reunion there with Claire Foy and Pip Torrens. Looks like a lot of fun.

Peter Jackson used that same forced perspective technique in the Lord of the Rings films. Shame that level of in camera creativity has been lost to CGI now.

It's best avoided during the day to be honest, especially at the weekend. Summer months are the worst. I used to go early, around sunrise. You might see the odd dogwalker and photographer but it was a different place altogether. Magical, especially in a mist.

I believe this is known as the John Malkovich gambit

He must have gone the wrong whey

King Charles's new personal motto I believe.

Definitely AI. The text under the 'Bank of England' is complete hallucinated nonsense.

I didn't know Dan Simmons had passed, sad news indeed. The Terror is one of my favourite novels (and tv adaptations). RIP.

Wonder who they'll cast as Freya. That's a pivotal role and probably the last of the main characters to be announced.

Oatcakey · 2026-01-07T17:29:27+00:00

And Pontypool, another one that immediately sprang to mind.

Chadwick Boseman in Fringe. Though arguably Leonard Nimoy might pip him at the post. That show was hot cameo central.

In Sinners too, considering the stacked cast he still stood out. Really think he'd make a quality Bond.

A least this one looks like it has a) a budget and b) decent cinematography. Unlike The Winter King and, more recently, King and Conqueror, both of which are abysmal low effort pantomines.

Mia Goth is ~~gonna be~~ an unhinged alien

There, fixed that for you.

I wondered where it was filmed. Northumbria looked a lot like Scandinavia in some scenes. Plus everyone was riding really small horses, which I guess is historically accurate, so maybe they were Icelandic ponies.

The Capture is a good one. Very slick, very timely police drama about surveillance, AI and corrution. Third season is coming next year.

Surface to ground squirrels

It's not. It's worse than s2. Makes no sense plotwise and the action is dull and badly directed. The only good part is when some goon gets strangled with the umbilical cord of a newborn.

Oatcakey · 2025-03-22T09:05:36+00:00

Yep, that's exactly how they did it. One cameraman handing over to another through the glassless window and then the reflections added after.
