What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

Speaking of not aging well...

I was just rewatching Airwolf. I loved that show as a kid. It's what helped make me love military aviation so much (and was a reason I went into military aviation when I graduated).

But man. TV shows and movies back in the 80s, when the lead character was cool, and smooth, and tough, and all the ladies wanted him? Watching them now, and they are all just red flag after red flag. Extreme narcissistic behavior where they emotionally abuse those around them. It's like a trope where they hurt the people close them, then blame those people for getting hurt because "they just don't understand what I go through!!" All these dudes don't need to "get the girl", they need therapy.

Ooof. I guess I'll leave Airwolf in the nostalgia drawer.

I remember Sting having to admonish the audience that "Every Breath You Take" is NOT a love song, but is a creepy stalker song.

It's his fault for making it sound like a love song!


As for what I'm watching, after my daughter stopped paying for Netflix, I had to stop watching The Last Kingdom. I went back to Disney+ and finally watched Ironheart. That was decent with a nice soundtrack. Curious to see what happens to Riri next.

Last night, I watched Gunpowder Milkshake. Silly but fun girl power shoot 'em up with Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, and the girl who was also in the D&D movie as Chris Pine's daughter.
