> a movie or TV show

Any movie or TV show recommendations from the past 10 years that is actually enjoyable?

I am pretty much done with movies. I don't even remember the last one I really enjoyed. Sunshine, Interstellar, Hateful Eight, Once Upon a time in Hollywood... Nothing notable in the past 5 years though.

TV shows? Most require a subscription, which I am not willing to do for just a show or two.

I've enjoyed quite a few movies from the past 5 years, but I don't know what you like, so who knows.

Baby Assassins - japanese movie about two teenage girls who are assassins. Very weird and funny movie and the fight choreography I found fascinating. I can only describe as "floppy".

Tetris - this was on Apple TV. A fictionalized retelling of the story of getting Tetris out of the USSR and licensed to distribute in the US.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story - A music biopic of Weird Al Yankovic, in true Weird Al style

Nobody - action / revenge flick with Bob Odenkirk

I could go on. No need to limit yourself to the past 5 years though. Surely you haven't seen every movie from before 2020?

Lots of great shows too, and you don't need any subscriptions on the high seas...

Baby Assassins sounds interesting, I see there’s a few movies with that name from the past few years, maybe some are sequels I’m not sure. Is the one you’re talking about from 2021 with director Yugo Sakamoto?

There is a sequel, but I haven’t watched it yet
