Kurt’s Blog: 5 Things to Binge (Not Named Bird Box) When You’re Sick

So everyone is coughing…everyone is sucking snot back into the recesses of their brains…good times, right?

Only one thing to do when you’re sick…

Stay home…and binge.

And here’s 5 shows/movies I recommend you binge…and it doesn’t include Bird Box….because I haven’t seen Bird Box…and really have no desire to.

Quick note: props to my wife…so in the past month has been on the cutting edge of knowing what’s good to watch on Netflix…she beat me to these before I even had a chance to watch them.

  1. Murder Mountain  – true crime series about an area in Northern California that grows tons (and tons and tons and tons) of weed…and the “outlaws” that live up there. So good…kinda trails off in the last episode, but would definitely recommend. Don’t waste your time on Making a Murderer 2…watch this.
  2. The Bodyguard – I am one episode in….watch the first 30 minutes of the first episode and try to turn it off. You can…not.
  3. Bandersnatch – The “Black Mirror” choose your own adventure…I hear there are 5 hours of possibilities…I made it about 2 1/2 hours…with about 6 different ending…and I’m now questioning so many of my decisions.
  4. (tie): Reruns of “The Office” – because always. Season 2 was so good…forgot how good it was… & “The Good Place” – such a great show.

5. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo – Truth be told, I haven’t started this yet…but my wife says I have to…and to listen to her words of advice! 🙂

Feel better…binge away!

Note: my 8-year old son would like us all to know that the final season of “Unfortunate Events” is tremendous…and my 7-year old daughter would like to brag that she’s seen every episode of “Nailed It: Holiday Edition” four times.

Choose ‘Trainspotting’: Ewan McGregor and Danny Boyle reflect on the life-changing film

Ewan McGregor, for a fleeting moment after "Trainspotting" came out, felt like a rock star. The kinetic film about four heroin addicts in late-1980s Scotland was and, 30 years later, remains defining — in his career, in the culture and in his understanding of what true artistic satisfaction can feel like.
