Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case.

Film review: The Bubble (2022)

The Bubble Apatow Productions Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) I’m not sure about you, but I wasn't a fan of this particular film.  Maybe I wasn't ready to hear about the issues during the pandemic on film sets.   I didn't really find 'The Bubble' that funny either.  I was kind of surprised since they had an all-star cast of  Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, Iris Apatow, Leslie Mann, David Duchovny, and Keegan-Micheal Key.  This definitely wasn't one of Judd Apatow's best movies.  If you want to get to know Judd Apatow's work check out “Anchorman,” "Knocked Up” or “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”. The Bubble Release date April 1, 2022 Directed by Judd Apatow Written by Judd Apatow and Pam Brady Produced by Judd Apatow Starring Karen Gillan as Carol Cobb Iris Apatow as Krystal Kris Pedro Pascal as Dieter Bravo Leslie Mann as Lauren Van Chance Fred Armisen as Darren Eigan David Duchovny as Dustin Mulray Keegan-Michael Key as S...
