What’s one of your all-time favourite movies, and why? The Blues Brothers . It’s one of the best comedies ever made. It’s sentimental, too, as my dad loved blues music growing up and played it in front of me. It’s a weird, wacky comedy that puts a smile on my face and brings back fond memories of watching it with him. It would have to be Superman & Lois . It’s a niche series but if you enjoy the Superman character or DC it’s definitely one that’s worth giving a try. Its dramatic storytelling is incredible for a series of its scale. It’s a different take on the iconic hero and while it has some goofy moments, it’s one that feels uplifting yet deeply emotional. Lately I’ve been doing “Western Wednesdays” and hitting up a lot of classic spaghetti westerns. The main ones I’d recommend are Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy ( A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly ). It’s a simple and iconic masterpiece trilogy. What’s one of your all-time favourite TV series, and why? What have you been watching lately that you would recommend?
