Barry Seal - Only in America.

Unbelievable, but based on true events. We really enjoyed it, mostly thumbup
Seal was a nasty bd in truth and got what was coming to him. The Cruise movie is entertaining but is fictional in that he sold out DEA agents to Escobar and the Ochoa Cartel. He was responsible for countless Law enforcement murders not to mention the 100s of tonnes of coke he smuggled in. The US government leaking of his photos was true and no mistake.
Interesting, I don't doubt that he was a nasty piece of work, had to be really!

Davie_GLA, not sure if it's on Netflix UK, I'm in Germany, sorry.

The Great Hack - eye opening. It’s a brave new world. Next years US elections are going to be off the scale dirty.
Watched that last night, am relatively new to Netflix. Thought it was fascinating.
Scary that there isn't more being done to defend against these sort of tactics. Which only means that none of the political parties want to stop what's happening, they want to use it themselves to win.
Combined with how good deepfakes are getting, were all seriously screwed.

Look at this one;

Blew my mind. And is so unnerving. The switch is almost not visible.

I don't know why, but just watching this makes me feel really, really uncomfortable. I can't put my finger on why, as a technology it is really quite cool, even if a bit dangerous.

Finished "The OA" last night.

After it sitting in my watch list for the last 2 years, I binged both seasons in a couple of days. Really enjoyed it and a shame its not going to get a season 3

Can't find 'Dead Man's Shows' anywhere - Netflix, Prime, All4.

Anywhere to watch this - legally :-) - online?

Otherwise it's time to buy the DVD I guess.
I'm assuming you mean Dead Man's Shoes and if so then I was in a similar position so I went online and bought the DVD for £2 or so.

It is a wonderful, wonderful film.

Yep.

Wait until NOTHING we see (unless it’s literally with our own eyes), can be believed or trusted on face value.

Archer series 10 now up!

Watched F for Family over the last week and it was excellent. First few episodes are a bit meh, but then it hits its stride.

Or hear!

I was reading the other day that Adobe has had a voice programme in development for years that with only a few minutes of a person's voice samples, can mimic someone perfectly. I think they've maybe binned it for obvious reasons.

Deepfakes can do voices already. Not quite there compared to the visuals, but on a casual listen you may not notice to be honest.

It's on Youtube. Worth checking YT out as I found a few films on there. Bubba Ho Tep being amongst them.

Are you sure? Made in America is on there but the OP stated “only in America” and is different?

Bubba Ho Tep is an unappreciated gem.

Not tried Archer, started Wu assassins for offline lunchtime viewing but cancelled due to above comments, is it worth it?

I couldn't find it on UK or Swedish Netflix and googling it just brings up Made in America, so I wonder if it is just called something else in other countries to the English film name. I would like to watch a documentary on him, the film was great and very interesting.
