What was the last TV show you watched?
The third episode of the Disney+ series Obi-wan Kenobi. At first, I hesitated to post some thoughts on the series so far, but after checking the comments on IMDB I get the impression I echo much of the opinions found there. Not a SW fanboy, but nonetheless I agree with (A.) the criticism of...- Julian Shellhammer

For reasons beyond my comprehension, I have been watching the Star Wars franchise in story order. They are available on Disney+. I do recall the charged anticipation of the first movie released in 1977, standing in line for 3 hours to watch it, stoking the excitement by chatting with the fans in...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
Watched the first two episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. Well-produced and enjoyable. Looks like real money was spent on the production. It's Kenobi's life while monitoring the progress of Luke Skywalker, waiting until he's ready for Jedi training. Meanwhile, Kenobi is in deep...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Hard to Get (1938) with Dick Powell and Olivia De Havilland. Sort of a screwball comedy, with De Havilland as a spoiled heiress, and Powell as a gasoline station attendant with dreams of a chain of motor court bungalows. When they meet he doesn't know her family is rich rich rich, and treats her...- Julian Shellhammer

The Underworld Story (1950) starring Dan Duryea, Herbert Marshall, and Gale Storm. Remarkably similar to Ace in the Hole: in this case, Duryea is an unprincipled newspaper reporter makes the most out of a murder case. Duryea seemed to excel at rotten, crooked characters, and here he's sort of...- Julian Shellhammer

Johnny Staccato S1 E1 via the tube of you. John Cassavetes as a jazz musician whose real job is private detecting. Ran from 1959-60. Very cool shots of 1959 New York City as Staccato walks around town. Gritty. Exceptionally cool when we glimpse real jazz musicians performing in the basement...- Julian Shellhammer

The Warren William iteration of Perry Mason in 1935's The Case of the Curious Bride, with Allen Jenkins as Spudsy Drake, Mason's right hand man. Errol Flynn is billed more than half way down the credits, and I don't think he has any lines. Mason takes a break from being a bon vivant to solve a...- Julian Shellhammer

The Missus stumbled across The Practice, an 80s era lawyer show. It was okay, but she abandoned it about midway through season one. We spend so much time with the streaming shows that we have weeks of broadcast shows (Blue Bloods, et al) on the dvr. Only some dedicated couch time will clear...- Julian Shellhammer

Convicted (1950) with Glenn Ford and Broderick Crawford, dir. Henry Levin. Ford gets a manslaughter rap that might be tainted by political string-pulling; Crawford is the DA who tries to get Ford off, but the law is the law. The bulk of the picture is Ford adjusting to life behind bars, hoping...- Julian Shellhammer
