Netflix & streaming video stuff worth watching

I keep having these YouTube video clips pop up called Off Camera with Sam Jones, and I watched one of the Will Ferrell ones, and it fascinated me because I have seen Will Ferrell on talk shows several times and I have never once seen him be himself, but he was himself in this one. Every interview I've ever seen with him, he did a bit. I'm not a huge fan of him but I've always kinda wanted to see what he's actually like because you can never tell from his interviews. I felt like Robin Williams was the same way. Maybe not so much that he was playing a part but in interviews he was always extremely hyper and just going for laughs the entire time.

So then I decided to try to find out the full interview and it's a show on Netflix. There are 3 season so far.

I really, really enjoy Sam Jones interviews; he always gets his interviewees to relax, open up and give thoughtful answers. Three seasons are on Netflix, but his newer interviews are on offcamera.com. You have to pay for the videos, but the podcasts are free. 

 
So good.

This may be old news but 11.22.63 on Hulu is pretty entertaining. It's by Stephen King and JJ Abrams. Definitely has the Stephen King feel to it but it seems to be done a little better than his typical movie or series. Eight part mini series starring James Franco.

Old news?  No way!

Another sweet series to watch...Miami Vice...most of you have probably never heard of it but it is two undercover cops in Miami...I think it is new.

Well I looked it up. 11.22.63 has been on Hulu since February 2016. So as suspected it is not a new release. But if you haven't seen it give it a try.

I remember watching Miami Vice when it was first run on TV. Seemed okay then but guessing it would feel pretty dated now.

Great...well I am returning my wicker shoes, white sport coat and pink T-shirt to goodwill!  Jerk!

 
If you haven't watched The Boys on Prime yet, do yourself a favor and check it out if you like Superhero stuff.  It's not your traditional superhero show/movie in that not all Superheroes use their powers for good.

 
I've had World War II in Colour in my Netflix list for quite some time but hadn't gotten around to watching it.  Then I saw that it's set to go away this month so I decided I better get going.  

I've watched the first two episodes.  Not sure if I'll get through the entire series before it disappears or not.  But if you're at all interested in that kind of thing, you should really watch at least the first episode.  It covers the run-up to September 1, 1939.  I'm kind of a history buff and thought I was decently educated but there were a bunch of things in there that I didn't know.

So I recently read the Bill Hodges Trilogy by Stephen King (includes Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch). I knew they had made a TV series out of it so I watched the first episode today. It's not strict to the source material but it was decent. I'm interested to see how it goes. It's in a channel called Audience if you're interested

This doesn't totally fit but it is amazing how amazing King's books are and how bad most of the movies have been.

 
My wife and I just finished IMPOSTERS. Two seasons, ten episodes per. It is a good pace, funny, with good twists. I recommend!
