October 2020 Playlist
Enjoy this Spotify playlist for the Mighty Demons, Little Devils, Handsome Vampires and Clever Witches: Music for the autumn equinox inspired by textures, sounds, and sights while lurking in the dark caverns of a deserted city of lost souls.
Working from home during the pandemic, I can't complain. However, the unusual challenge of doing everything during a pandemic has kept this blog from being updated often.
What has the Korner been watching/looking forward to watching?
- "A Discovery of Witches" on Shudder, SundanceNow, and AMC/AMC Plus. The 2nd season comes to those channels in the USA on January 9, one day after it airs in the UK on SKY TV. The show is based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. While the books may be more young adult-oriented, they still are a good read so if you binge-watch the eight episodes of season 1 and don't want to wait until January to find out what happens in Season two, consider taking time to buy the books from your local bookseller or borrow them from your local library.
- "Babylon Berlin" on Netflix has just released its 3rd season. It is for fans of a foreign mystery, historical dramas, and the Weimar period. The music is incredible. If you also follow "Deutschland 83" and "Deutschland 86", soon "Deutschland 89" will be available on Sundance TV starting October 29. Hulu carries the prior two seasons.
- "Woke" on Hulu is based on the life of cartoonist Keith Knight. It explores racial issues of his life, his work as an artist, and his relationships. Keith is played by Lamorne Morris who was recently interviewed by The Complex. The show is perfectly timed to be a voice in how racial injustices in the present are a call for criminal justice reform. The episodes are quick and definitely deserve repeat viewing.
- Truth Seekers is coming to Amazon Prime Video on October 30. Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, "Paranormal investigators set out to film ghost sightings, but as their supernatural experiences grow more frequent, they begin to uncover a conspiracy that could bring about Armageddon for the entire human race." The director, Jim Field Smith, has directed other comedies, "Episodes" and "Wrecked" for television. It'll be fun just having the stars of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The End of the World back together again.
- I haven't watched "50 States of Fright", however probably will soon because there's a report that the app Quibi will be out of business just after 7 months. Christina Ricci stars in Season 2's 6th episode "Red Rum"/Colorado.
