The Gardener (1974)
Recommended Only For Joe Completests
This film has 5+ names so it took me a while to find it streaming on Prime. It's a hard film to review because most of the actors are actually good? They're accomplished stage actors and you can tell. The beautiful elephant in the room is a shirtless Joe Dallesandro who slinks through various scenes like he's in a porno...but I'm blaming that on the unexperienced director since we know Little Joe can/could do more than that.
Unfortunately the story is incredibly boring. Even the lowest budget film can be a fun watch if the plot moves at a good clip but this just meanders along, making it feel interminable. It's good acting with bad writing and directing.
Taskmaster: Stuck in a Mammal Groove (2019)
No One On the Show Like This Guy
I'm on the third episode of series eight after bingeing the previous seasons for the first time and Iain Stirling hands-down is the worst person to be a Taskmaster panelist so far. I'd never heard of him before but he acts like someone who plays video games badly on YouTube for a living. Just completely insufferable...arguing about everything with everyone, determined to be the center of attention and *loud*. You can even tell Greg finds him deeply annoying. I feel sorry for every person who had to be around this guy.
I like everyone else so I'm going to watch the rest of the season but I can't wait until I can forget he exists.
