Swallowed (2022)
Unexpected
Cooper Koch, Jose Colon, Jenna Malone, and Mark Patton star in this horror thriller about a "drug" trafficking incident gone terribly wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I found the friendship between the lead characters, Benjamin (Cooper Koch) and Dom (Jose Colon) to be very sweet in the midst of an ugly situation. The unrequited love they had for each other is evident and I ended up rooting for the relationship that could be. Jenna Malone's Alice as the no nonsense, gun wielding trafficker was a surprise because these sorts of archetypes are usually played by men. I was totally convinced that she'd put a bullet in someone without a second thought. Nightmare On Elm Street 2 "final boy", Mark Patton as Rich, Alice's boss was overtly sadistic yet subtly unhinged, which was interesting to see. The film itself is more of a horrific thriller. It doesn't use the usual gory special effects crutch to tell the story, but what unfolds is quite horrifying. For me, that was a pleasant change of pace.
The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (2017)
Awesome Show Fantastic Hosts
Since discovering this show on Netflix, I have told everyone I know that loves architecture and design to check it out. My father and I were on the phone for two hours discussing it. While the homes are absolutely breathtaking, I think what truly makes the show are the hosts. Their enthusiasm and excitement are infectious. Particularly Caroline's. I hope there are more episodes in production.
