WHAT TO WATCH ON NETFLIX
THE most exciting addition to our Netflix screens this week comes in the form of legendary chat show host David Letterman, who returns to television with his new show ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’.
The format is pretty simple – the chat show host teams up with a number of global figures for a series of in-depth interviews and curiousity fueled excursions, with new episodes set to be released at the unusual pace of just one-a-month.
Former US President Barack Obama is the first guest on Letterman’s hot-seat and their 56-minute long chat – covers everything from Barack’s first day out of office, the uses of social media and of course dad dancing.
‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’ is streaming now on Netflix.
With the National Football League (NFL) season coming to a head over the next few weeks, it only seems right that our next film recommendation goes along the same lines.
‘Concussion’ is a 2015 film starring Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who fights against the NFL who try to suppress his research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain degeneration disease suffered by professional football players.
A good insight into a problem still very much at the forefront of the footballing world, Will Smith is terrific in the role while co-stars Alec Baldwin and Albert Brooks lead the way in an excellent supporting cast.
Be warned though, this is not a film for the faint-hearted or the squeamish.
