re: For movie podcast fans, CR Month™ on the Rewatchables has been great
Posted by kballa6 on 3/25/26 at 8:43 am to SlowFlowPro
Really has been a great month of The Rewatchables. I usually rewatch these on Sunday nights and try to drag my wife in to watch as well. She usually half watches unless it's one of Bill's Rom-Coms he likes so much.
I've seen Sicario and Fargo probably 5 times each and yet when I listened to the episodes I had to go back and watch them again. Great content.
I had never seen To Live and Die in LA, so that was an adventure. The Wang Chung bits were great.
The Nice Guys deserved an episode at some point. The writing in that movie is so good and Gosling was just fantastic.
I haven't seen LA Confidential in 20 years so I'm curious to see how it holds up.

I followed along on Trevor Bauer's YT channel when he played down there a couple years ago and enjoyed a lot of the insight he provided.

I think the only ones to make it to a screen would be:
1) Harrenhal
2) Storm's End Campaign
3) Field of Fire
4) Meeting in the North
5) Corronation at Oldtown
It really is better set up as one 10 episode series.

I have a single Mevo that connects to my phone to stream my kids baseball and basketball games. It has worked in Texas Summer without any issues. Every now and then we play at a field or a gym that his limited cell reception/no wi-fi and the stream can get choppy, but that's about it. Most big locations here around Houston have wi-fi which is helpful.
I add on a battery pack that keeps both the phone and Mevo charged through 2-3 games/day.
One camera is plenty for what I use it for which is streaming for family outside of town. I've seen multi-cam setups and just couldn't justify the cost.
I didn't see the need in investing in a hot spot when my phone can do the same.

Starting to worry about this since Season 4 is the end. So much to get done in 2 seasons at the pace they've been going. Feel like something big has to be cut and this might be it.

Favorite part is hearing Aerion call out Hardyng in the voice of Viserys Targaryen.
Lloyd does an awesome job as the narrator.

Others that have been mentioned as well, i.e. painting of the Fossoway Apple from red to green.
The trial seemed rushed from the time Baelor entered and the fighting began. Then they took liberties and expanded it well I think. It definitely showed the grit and toughness of Dunk which will come into play for The Sworn Sword.

Each Novella is about 3-4 hrs. They flew by though as they are highly entertaining and don't drag.
I spent more time looking at family trees to understand who is who, than I did actually reading.

Never heard it referred to as that, nor do I believe half of LSU fans understand what that actually means.

This is the way.
Putting this movie on my watch list for the weekend.
Friendswood. When we moved houses in 2015, I wish we had bought in Friendswood.
If you have to go to Sugarland more than 2 times a week, maybe look Pearland. I live in Pearland and actively recruit against people moving to Pearland. We need less people here.

Thanks for all the help! I'll keep an eye out for deals and see what I can get over the next week or so before pulling the trigger.

Thanks!
Best Buy has the 6400 with a 18-135 lens for $1250. I’m assuming I can do better used but is that a decent deal?

Well let me re-phrase. She will want the camera to do 99% of the work then ask me to take it from there. Hope that helps.

She definitely wants the camera doing all the work.
She has no urge in doing any editing or anything.

Your guess is as good as mine on her intended purpose of the pictures.
I think she honestly just wants something that is better quality than she can get printed and hang around the house. She’s old school and still likes having physical copies to put on the walls.

Predominantly baseball and basketball.
If I didn't mention she primarily wants it for good photography but video is a big deal as she wants something better than her iPhone 14.

Think I'm going to head over to TDECU Stadium tonight and catch North Shore vs Dickinson. Good friend of mine coaches at Dickinson and should be a good game.

Much appreciated. I will take a look at the Canon.
Any recommendations for something in the $800-$1000 range? Looking more for youth sports photography/videography. Wife wants something new but not breaking the bank.
TIA
