Ode to Thor / Chris Hemsworth

Who has blonde hair, bulging muscles, and could technically be called the Thunder from Down Under? This week Shannon & Fadra profess their love for Chris Hemsworth and discuss the movie Thor: Ragnarok!

4:51 What are we watching?

• Shannon has finished both seasons of Broadchurch, a British crime drama on Netflix. The second season may even be better than the first. Watch it!
• Stranger Things: Shannon finished the second season in one day and Fadra is pacing herself.
• Fadra says this season of The Flash feels completely different than past seasons. It feels darker. What do you think?
• Once Upon a Time: Not loving the new season or the new cast.

13:14 Last movie seen?

• Meyerowitz Stories: Great cast (Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman) and good story about siblings dealing with their aging/ill father. Worth watching, but not as amazing as you’d think given the cast. Shannon was annoyed with the abrupt ending.
• Boo! A Madea Halloween: Shannon thought it was OK, kinda funny, but had a hard time understanding Madea. Fadra speaks black grandma. She suggests the Madea Christmas movie.
• Leviathan: Fadra’s son’s first R-rated movie… Shannon & Fadra discuss how different ratings were in the 80’s.
• Bad Moms Christmas: Fadra says it’s not destined to become a Christmas classic.

• Olivia Colman (Broadchurch) has been cast as Elizabeth II in the 3rd and 4th seasons of The Crown.
• Voyeur: December 1st on Netflix. Follows a journalist who reports on a motel owner who secretly watched his guests through specially designed ceiling vents.
