Movie Monday- 9/15/2025

The study of Led Zeppelin continues. There’s overlap of information between all the documentaries, but I still find everything fascinating:

In Led Zeppelin - The Original of the Species Unauthorized, People in the music industry, some who have worked with the band, tell about the origins of Led Zeppelin. They also cover the first two studio albums. There are concert clips as well.

In Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti: A Classic Album Under Review, again, people in the industry go through the tracks of the double album. It’s one of my favorites, but I am not alone. My favorite part is watching clips of the performing.

I have a couple more LZ things to watch. Hooefully, I will get to them soon.

Good Binge:

I just finished watching season 3 of Fisk on Netflix. It’s an Australian comedy. You can fly through a season quickly. The episodes are 30 minutes long. It is very much worth a watch.

Today is the start of the Birthday Season. I have some fun things planned.

Movie Monday - 9/8/2025

Back in the day, when I was but a wee girl, Led Zeppelin was in the background of my life. Of course, the song Stairway to Heaven was big, and I owned some of the albums, but Led Zeppelin was just there. I didn’t think too much about it. I listened to their music, apparently more than I had remembered. In the last few days, I found their YouTube channel on which they’ve uploaded several of their albums in their entireties. As I listened to Houses of the Holy, I was surprised when I anticipated the first cord of the next song, without looking at the song list. It was the same with Physical Graffiti. Hmmm.

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been watching different interviews with each of the remaining members of the band. It has been fascinating. And then, I found some movies and documentaries; so, here we go…

Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same opens with an unexpected mob hit scene. Keep watching; you are in the right theater. Filmed live at the 1973 Madison Square Garden shows, but released in 1976, this documentary also includes fantasy sequences starring each band member. Up to them, there hadn’t been any footage of Led Zeppelin performances. The band members wanted to give their public what they wanted. 

The documentary, A to Zeppelin: The Story of Led Zeppelin, gives insight about how the band started from other musicians and people in the music industry that knew and worked with the principles wayback when.

Led Zeppelin IV is a documentary that goes through the songs on their fourth, untitled studio album. As with the previous films, there’s concert footage and some interview clips are interspersed throughout. I loved it.

That’s all I watched last week in my study of Led Zeppelin.

I also watched Happiest Season - Since Christmas is around the corner. In the film, we meet two women. Harper loves Christmas, but Abby has issues with it. Harper invites Abby to her family home where Christmas is big. Abby plans to propose without realizing that Harper hasn’t come out to her parents. I appreciated the levity. Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie DavisMary Steenburgen, Dan Levi, and others starred in this ensemble cast. It was cute.

That’s all for now, Peeps. I hope to be back soon.

Movie Monday - 9/1/2025

I have slacked in the movie watching department. 

In honor of Christmas in August,* I watched a movie I recorded on the DVR - The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It was a highly predictable film about redemption. À woman takes over the church’s annual Christmas presentation. She causes concern when she allows a family of children who are widely considered the town hoodlums to participate. It was cute.

I did watch some good streamers:

And Just Like That, 3rd and final Season - HBO Max

The Gilded Age - HBO Max

The Legacy - PBS

MK out.

*What? That’s not a thing?
