Enola Holmes is back at it again, trying to establish her own detective agency, while living in the shadow of her mother and two older brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft.  With Enola Holmes 2 being set against the backdrop of a the real and first movement in women's rights, the movie is a light hearted action romp, with some not so clever 4th wall breaking.   ENOLA HOLMES 2, Dir.

One of the most famous novels about war ever written is once again adapted to the big screen.  This Netflix adaption does so many things right.  Paul Baumer goes from a world of a young boy- friends around him and a small life in a German town to the the absolute horrors of the The Great War.  At Two hours and twenty minutes, the film is a commitment but a damn good one.  One of the best things Netflix has put out all in a while.  Choose original German language track OR English voice over, though the movie hits harder when watched with the original German language tracks.   ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Dir.

Game of Thrones redefined episodic television and had a pretty consistent high quality throughout, with a caveat at the end.   GoT brought back "water cooler" chat on Monday morning in the office discussing the wonderful narrative thread and characters- both rich in detail and on a very sliding scale of likability.  House of the Dragon is much the same.  Set less than 200 years before the events of GoT, HotD is building the world which we have seen previous for 8 years and it does a wonderful job so far.   HOUSE OF THE DRAGON S1 ( Grayson 7 / Roger 7.5 / Chris 7 )  Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Music by Chad Wall.
