This week we have a documentary on a popular geek card game coming to Netflix, a comedy special featuring an american comedian who plays multiple roles in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and some guy with an eye patch shooting at Steve Buscemi . Check out Pastie Baps Netflix round up.
Enter the Battlefield – If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to play cards for $40,000 and for it not involve spades, clubs and diamonds then welcome to the bizarre world of Magic: The gathering’s pro tour.
This documentary follows seven top Magic: The Gathering players past and present who’ve made their mark on the game’s prestigious Pro Tour.
Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping – I’ve never seen a stand up show from Patton Oswalt but it’s got 4 stars on Netflix and I always liked the guy in anything he’s been in so this might be one to take a look at.
On stage in San Francisco, the comedian covers topics like old people getting drugs, his worst stand-up set, gay proms and a horrible birthday clown.
Pick of the week – Escape From L.A. – This week’s pick is John Carpenter’s Kurt Russell classic, Escape from L.A. The Sequel to Escape from New York, it may not be held in as high esteem but it’s still a lot of fun and I don’t know about you but I can’t get enough of Kurt as Snake Plisskin.
In 2013, the United States president (Cliff Robertson) is exiling all citizens who don’t conform to his hyper-conservative views to Los Angeles, which became an island after a huge earthquake. But, when the president’s daughter nabs the detonator to her dad’s apocalyptic weapon and sneaks into L.A. to be with the rebel leader she loves, the government taps commando-turned-crook Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) to retrieve the young woman. And, if he doesn’t succeed quickly, he’ll be executed.
