by Michael McCarthy I’ve just finished watching a brilliant limited series on Netflix. It’s called The Innocent and it’s an adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel. The surprising thing, for me, is that I’ve watched quite a few series based on his books and usually I hate them. They’re predictable, there aren’t enough plot twists,…

by Michael McCarthy I watched the fourth season of Wrong Side of the Tracks (also known as Entrevias) on Netflix this weekend. It’s an excellent Spanish series about this small suburb where the elderly old guys who’ve lived there all of their lives clash with the drug dealers and other assorted thugs. Definitely a vigilante…

interview and photos by Michael McCarthy I recently met with Adam O’Donnell, the owner of A Damn Shame Records, located at Mill No. 5 in Lowell, Massachusetts, to do an in person interview. The interview went well, Adam proving to be a terrific and insightful person to interview. There was just one problem. My trusty…

interview by Michael McCarthy Since one Wednesday in June of 2015, Rob Fitz has been hosting a weekly movie night event called Weirdo Wednesday at The Luna Theater located in Mill No. 5 in Lowell, Massachusetts. Sadly, it was recently announced that the mill is closing at the end of the month. The final edition…

by Michael McCarthy I have another amazing Korean series to tell you about. This one is called Death’s Game and it’s exclusively on Prime in the U.S. It’s an 8 episode limited series. And I can promise you that it will blow you away. Without giving too much away, I’ll tell you that it begins…

by Michael McCarthy I finished watching the Korean zombie series Happiness today. It’s from 2021 but it only just arrived on Netflix. It wasn’t a very scary zombie series but one of the more realistic ones I’ve seen. I also liked the zombie origin part of the story, which is that it starts as a…

I don’t know why Prime can’t make their subtitles work better. If you watch things with subtitles on Netflix, occasionally someone will say something and a subtitle for it won’t appear. It’s some sort of glitch — when this has happened when I’ve been watching things, if you rewind it and play the part it…

by Michael McCarthy After watching Project Wolf Hunting yesterday, I decided to watch another movie. And I decided to watch another movie that was supposed to be really strange and genre-bending, The Substance starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, a young actress I don’t think I’d ever seen in anything before. Moore plays a woman…

by Michael McCarthy I have just finished watching the funniest series I have ever seen. It’s a Korean sitcom called The Sound of Your Heart. It focuses on an approximately 30 year old webtoon artist who lives with his parents and brother. And it’s just full of absolutely hilarious stuff. I could tell you about…

by Michael McCarthy If you like violent movies, you have to see the Korean movie Project Wolf Hunting. Rated NC 17 just for violence. Basically, a bunch of criminals are being extradited from Korea and they’re sending them back via a cargo ship because another method was tried previously and there was a problem. So…

by Michael McCarthy I am currently watching a Kdrama called Fix You. It’s another series starring Jung So Min, who’s become my favorite Korean actress. Like many Kdramas, it has another title for some reason, which is Soul Mechanics. I’m watching it on Viki but it’s also on Kocowa. In any case, Jung So Min…

by Michael McCarthy What you’re about to read is a Facebook post that I found myself writing this morning after someone mentioned Metallica’s black album in a music community on there and most people had very negative things to say about it. ### I find it fascinating how so many people hate Metallica’s so-called black…

by Michael McCarthy I finished watching the Kdrama D Day this week. It’s from 2015, but the production values are right up there with the production values of all the great stuff coming out these days. It takes place in Seoul after a 6.5 magnitude earthquake does severe damage to the city. In the show…

by Michael McCarthy When I heard that Gwen Stefani was making a country album, I shrieked. I was a fan of No Doubt, but Gwen Stefani’s first two solo albums are my favorite things she’s done. Both truly brilliant albums and very innovative. When I heard that Gwen Stefani was releasing a new album, I…

by Michael McCarthy The female solo artist Lykke Li has released an “inverted” version of her last album, EYEYE. And by inverted, what means is simply that they the tracks are all backwards. They just took the songs, switched them to backwards, and released it. Talk about a lame way to make a new album.…
