Talkie Tuesday: Pursuit of Jade

 

"Be a good pig in this life; be a good man in the next."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back.

 

Sorry for a bit of delay on Tuesday's reviews, I took last week off because there were other things happening (as said before, it was a special day!) and now I return with a MAMMOTH of a thing.

 

There's no way it's not going to be.

 

Not with the show being 40 episodes long, and each episode covering so much ground it sometimes feels like they're trying to shove a book into 40 minutes, each.

 

And in all honesty I fell into the hole completely by accident!

 

Netflix kept shoving the promo for it right on the front page. Eventually, I decided you know what? FINE, I'll watch.

 

I've since already breezed through twice. And the rest, as they say, is history.

 

So let's take a look at it together in Pursuit of Jade!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Padmaavat

 

"War in the name of beauty."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back to Bollywood tonight.

 

Honestly, I'm pretty pleased with myself.

 

A while ago I made a list of movies I really want to watch, and I've so far managed to trim it down to only a few left!

 

Of course I also keep adding new ones as Netflix adds them to their movie library, but that's obviously a problem for another day LOL.

 

Still, when the streamer gave me advance warning that THIS particular movie was about to launch on their service, I was stoked.

 

It was definitely on my list! And now I could watch it with subtitles and not have to worry about sync and whatnot.

 

So hold on to all you hold dear, lest someone take it: it's time to head back to historical India in tonight's epic, Padmaavat.
