THE PENGUIN

HBO + MAX

We always love watching a good DC Comics and this limited series of The Pengiun definitely had us enthralled from the ffirst episode as we get to see Oswald "Oz" Cobb (Colin Farrell) who is navigating his current role and takes the next steps into his destiny to control Gotham City. We see the city in a bit of a state with seawall's collapse that Joker implemented. With a power vacuum that took place when Carmine Falcone died he must figure out to deal with his childrenSofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) and Alberto Falcone (Michael Zegen) as well as dealing with the Maroni family who is helmed by Salvatore Maroni (Clancy Brown) who is in prison!

We also watch as he puts his empire together and we get to know more about his origin story! We're excited to enjoy the remainder of the season and we also enjoyed the companion podcast, The Penguin Official Podcast which drops new episodes every week immediately following the release of the TV series.

THE PRESTIGE TV PODCAST

We watch a number of shows and we love when it's prestige - these are shows of high quality that are known for their high production value as well as complex plots. Shows such as The Bear, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and more would be examples.

Chameleon is an investigative podcast that takes us into interesting worlds each season whether it was Gallery of Lies, Wild Boys, Dr. Dante Master of Deception, High Rollers, and Hollywood Con Queen. This season, Doctor Miracle is focused on a wellness canter, Miracle Ranch which is in SoCal.

The center promotes itself as a luxury escape that will allow you to navigate life through clean alkaline living. Led by Dr. Robert O. Young, he has acquired a clientele of wealthy people who followed his "groundbreaking" methods of living well. By staying at his facility, he promised that everyone would live well; however, those who did got worse and didn't live an optimized life.

Through legal documents and candid interviews with former patients and employees, law enforcement officials, and affected family members, this series unravels the chilling true story of one man who convinced scores of people that cancer is not a cell but an “acidic, poiisonous liquid”, and how his popular “alkaline diet” turned deadly.

SLY

Netflix Original

Netflix

When it comes to an action star, Sylvester Stallone gave us characters and stories that allowed us to enjoy big explosions, navigate hardship, and still be able to find the sensitivities that lies within whom he portrays.

For those that don't know how he made a niche for himself, this documentary takes you through his beginning acting days, meeting and befriending Henry Winkler, and being willing to play roles where he was typecast just so he could get his foot in the door.

Ultimately, he realized that if he wanted to truly use his gifts in the way that he saw himself, he would need to write, direct, and act in his own movies. Thus, he created the Rocky franchise and the Rambo franchise and proved that he could bring his characters to the screen that we could cheer for as they proved that good could truly prevail over evil.

Sly also shows how he navigated the industry by continuing to act in other films, even if they were outside of how we saw him and how he continued to prove that he could keep pushing the envelope of the franchise with The Expendables!

He also reflects on his life as he continues to do what he loves most. In addition to Sly, there are a number of people who share their thoughts from Quentin Tarantino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Talia Shire, Henry Winkler and Frank Stallone Jr.

THE OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES PODCAST: HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

HBO Original

Spotify

As our readers know, we are fans of companion podcasts that give more insight to the show, reflect on where the program sits within our world and hearing interviews by those that are part of the show! It adds an extra layer and should we have missed an element, we can pick up what is missed. THE OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES PODCAST HOUSE OF THE DRAGON does this and much more as we listen to its hosts Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen walk us through each episode. Both have watched Game of Thrones (the sequel to the prequel that is currently airing) and at various times during the podcast, Jason will say how the House of the Dragon and the books by George R. R. Martin support one another. In addition to each episode recapping the episode, there are interviews with those in front of and behind the camera as well as telling us more about the characters and what we can expect later in the season or in future seasons.

DAHMER MONSTER: THE JEFFREY DAHMER STORY

Netflix Original

Netflix

There are a number of true crime stories that we are familiar with; however the ins and outs of what made some of the most notorious serial killers do what they did, may be lost due to when it happened and the lack of media scruitny that exists today where people can learn very quickly about something that is taking place.

In Ryan Murphy's DAHMER MONSTER: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, we learn about how a man went from growing up to become one of the nation's most grizzly serial killers. We also see that the crimes that he committed had racial aspects to it due to the killings of black and brown gay men were not seen as something to investigate despite those who realized something was wrong telling them about it.

It also delves into how Dahmer's family navigated what happened once he was arrested and during his time in jail. We also see how the city decided to move on despite nearly 20 victims being affected by these horrific crimes.

RUBIROSA

Witness Docs + Stitcher

We are big fans of James Bond and there has always been a question as to who this character is molded after. The Broccoli family has always stated that he is a blend of various inidividuals; however, people continue to try to find the inspiration(s). In Rubirosa, Christopher Rivas shares his journey in finding out about Porfirio Rubirosa a diplomat, race car driver who drove in Le Mans, a playboy and Dominican who was known for having wealthy wives.

In this podcast, Rivas tells us about how he became who he was, how his paths and exploits crossed Ian Flemming, being friends with The Rat Pack and how identity and being aware of who you are is important no matter who you are.
