Sprinklez

Hey Gang!!! Welcome to Sprinklez Episode 53!Today I recommend two shows and a Tasty Treat Sensation!First up is the fabulous Science Fiction show, Silo (Apple TV+)Then I talk about the musical infused Only Murders In The Building Season 3 (Hulu)And lastly our TASTY-TREAT-SENSATION is White Castle's Hidden Valley Ranch Chicken Rings

When talking about Netflix's The Diplomat, I mentioned that the star Rufus Sewell starred in the Amazon Prime series "Man in the High Castle." View discretion is highly warranted as it involves intense psychological and physical violence, definitely not for children or viewer with sensitivities.Rufus Sewell was also in the film Dark City (1998) which can be rented on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV or YouTube, Vuduand Google Play Movies. 

Hey Gang!We are finally back with a new episode!!!We have four amazing shows to recommend!First off is my favorite Star Wars series Andor (DISNEY+) Which is chock full of amazing acting and powerful and very realistic storylines.Then we talk about THE PALE BLUE EYE, a film out on NETFLIX. A mystery with some horror elements.Finally we have two otherworldly docuseries about the afterlife. First we have LIFE AND DEATH WITH TYLER HENRY on NETFLIX and then another fascinating series called Surviving Death (NETFLIX) about ghosts, reincarnation and the like.Our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is the amazing tortilla chip by EL RANCHERO, the spiced flavor.Tangent: PERSUASION (1995) (RENT OR BUY on AMAZON PRIME or APPLE TV)

Hey Gang!  The Rings of Power (AMAZON PRIME); A beauifully diverse cast leads an adventurous story line set in stunningly beautiful locals. This one is a breathtaking thing of beauty.  It is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and in every way fits right into that legacy, which is saying a lot from a big ole nerd like me. Next we have Severance (APPLE TV); this one is so mysterious and thrilling, but is slow paced which can be a turn off to some, but hang in there! Christoper Walken's performance is sooo good! And KUDOS to Patricia Arquette. But wait there's more, Only Murders in the Building  is back with Season 2 (HULU) and is just as wonderful as Season 1! Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short are incredible! Watch for a couple of famous cameos. The last episode made me laugh so hard. Enjoy!The Tasty-Treat-Sensation is Frisch's Big Boy Restaurants! They put Cherry syrup in their cherry coke!! They have incredible onion rings and put tartar sauce on their hamburgers! Need I say more???

Hey gang! It's the 49th episode of Sprinklez!Today we have three HBO shows you are sure to love!!First off my brother recommended,  Station Eleven (HBO Max) which is a show about a pandemic (no not this pandemic) and surpise: iit doesn't have any zombies!! It is such a beautiful, impactful, at times it is a Shakespearean tragedy you shouldn't allow yourself to miss!Secondly, I heard a review of HBO's Somebody Somewhere, on NPR and started watching it and immediately fell in love with this dramedy (I hate that word). It is funny but oh so real. You will laugh-out-loud and cry at the same time.Downton Abby fans rejoice with Julian Fellowes new work: The Gilded Age (HBO MAX). Glamorous and soapy, what's not to love?!This week's tasty-treat-sensation is the new Coca-Cola with Coffee, its addictive and delicious but not overly caffeinated, try the Vanilla flavored one! Tangent:Tron Uprising is amazing anime on Disney +.  

Howdy Gang! The fabulous Murder She Wrote Board Gamer, Madge guest hosts todays episode! Inducing you to the incredible HULU ORIGINAL, "Only Murders in the Building" Starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. A delightfully light murder mystery comedy that is a gem (Some might even say, "It's a Jem!")Then, she lets you into an apparent secret, APPLE TV +'S Foundation. An amazing Science Fiction fantasy, based on an Isaac Asimov' book. Staring an array of wonderful actors and actresses including Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, Jared Harris, Laura Bir, Clarke Peters and others! This is what Sci Fi fans have been waiting for. A 10 episode series, with the second season just green-lighted by Apple TV+!Tangent: APPLE TV+'s Schmigadoon!, staring Cecily Strong Keegan-Michael Key, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming Tangent: NETFLIX "Jingle Jangle" is THE holiday musical you need in your life!The Tasty-Treat-Sensation is thanks to our friend Cicely!

Howdy folks! In this the 47th episode of Sprinklez we recommend two new fabulous shows!Nine Perfect Strangers, starring Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy. Based on the book by Liane Moriarty who wrote the book Big Little Lies which is a series on HBO starring Nicole Kidman. Both series were created by David E. Kelley.Then, we talk about the delightful, Only Murders in the Building which is a super fun and light murder mystery starring Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and the amazing Martin Short.Lastly we have this episode's Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Baskin Robbins' Cappuccino Blast which not only allows you to select which ice cream you have mixed in but you have an array of flavors to add to it (Mocha, Turtle, Caramel, OREO® ‘n Cookies, or original.) It's really scrumptious!!Tangents:Hocus Pocus (Disney+) Bette Middler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy Big Business (Disney+) Staring Bette Middler and Lilly Tomlin

Hey Gang! After a bit of a hiatus, Sprinklez is back with it's 46th episode! Today I review the HBO MAX originals: Mare of Easttown (Starring Kate Winslet and Jean Smart), and The Bridge (British reality show, à la Survivor, with fun reality drama while actually building a bridge). I also give a guilty pleasure shout out to Shipwrecked (à la pretty people survivor) on HULU and Singletown (Young, pretty, British-couple reality drama) in HBO MAX. We have a load'd Tasty-Treat-Sensation in the form of BLUE BUNNY'S Load'd Bars: Super Fudge Brownie! Which are exactly what a ice cream treat should be, ie load'd with extra bits of sweet goodness!

Howdy gang! In today's episode we have two incredible streaming show recommendations. Be prepared for NETFLIX's latest psychological thriller, Behind Her Eyes. Which stars Bono's daughter Eve Hewson in a mysterious thriller that will keep you on your toes! (Adult content, sexual scenes, partial nudity, substance use and violence).Then we talk about DISNEY's incredible, WandaVision. Yes, it is a show about superheroes, but don't let that scare you away. It is one of the more original shows I have seen in a long time. The first three episodes will leave you confused but hang in there! Staring Elizabeth Olsen, Kat Dennings and Kathryn Hahn. (Comic book style violence)Our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is Entenmann's Party Mini Rich Frosted Donuts which are as delectable as they sound. ENJOY!

Hey Gang! I am back after a battle with Covid. I was so lucky that it was a mild case. Please stay safe out there! While in quarantine I watched a ton of shows, several of which I am recommending in today's episode.First off, I am going to be talking about the new Discovery+ streaming service app that has a ton of shows from HGTV, Lifetime, TLC, Animal Planet, Travel Channel and so many more.  It's chock full of great shows!!! Especially, Frozen in Time (HGTV, Discovery+ Original), and A Very Brady Renovation (HGTV).Then I remind you that Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is simply one of the best tv shows EVER and it's back with season 2 on NBC and HULU!!!The Tasty-Treat-Sensation of the week is Boulder Canyon's Olive Oil Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper chips! They are amaaaaazzzzing!!!!   

Howdy gang! Today is a musical themed episode!First, I recommend The amazing series Encorce (DISNEY +) This is an incredibly heart-warming, endearing show, where they bring back the cast of various high school musicals across the country. They had high school submit plays they performed at some point in the past 30 years, and the cast of those productions get back together to put on the same play all these years later. A scream and such fun. Tear jerking reunions and life changing healing events occur in nearly every episode. It's a true winner. Then the new holiday musical classic, Jingle Jangle (NETFLIX).With an amazing cast (Phylicia Rashad, Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key, Lisa Davina Phillip). Cute story mixed with catchy tunes and you have a family holiday classic waiting for you!  This episode's Tasty-Treat-Sensation is McDonald's amazing Holiday Pie! (Think warm vanilla pudding pie!!!!)Tangents:The Good Place. (NETFLIX) Hilarious sitcom with Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, Maya Rudolph! Give it six episodes, It's odd and you won't love it until you get what's really going on. HANG IN THERE!Hot Chocolate Nutcracker (NETFLIX). Debbie Allen's dance academy's annual production of Hot Chocolate Nutcracker. 

Hey Gang! Today's theme is Murder Mystery Streaming Recommendations!HULU:The Killing (2011-2014): The performances by Mireille Enos, Joel Kinnaman are incredible! The first three seasons are fantastic, the final season is good to see where the main characters story end up.

(Graphic violence)Criminal UK; Criminal: Germany; Criminal: Frances, Criminal:Spain.

Some of my faves are RuPaul's Drag Race set in various countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, Thailand, and the soon to be released Holland version. (WOW PRESENTS PLUS is AVAILABLE on Amazon FireTV, Roku, AppleTV and Apple devices, and Android TV and devices.) It also includes Alyssa's Secret and Alaska's These Are My Giftsss.

It's on a pretzel bun and has onion rings on it!!!! Need I say more??? 

Hey gang! It's the 40th episode of Sprinklez!!! In this episode I recommend two Netflix originals. First up is the fascinating "Indian Matchmaking." I found myself binging this in the course of a week. A reality matchmaking show that is light, interesting and fun!Secondly I have found a temporary fix for those of you who have a long wait for QUEER EYE Season 6, its by some of the makers of QUEER EYE, and it's called SAY I DO.  It's a reality series where each episode (there are 8 in this season) a couple gets engaged (its a surprise for one of the partners) and married in the course of just a few days. The three hosts, all three fabulous gay men, each help pull off these incredible weddings. Tear and laughs ensue!This episode's Tasty-Treat-Sensation is BARE's fruit chips! Simple ingredients (no added anything) just dried fruit. Delicious and surprisingly nutritious!Tangent recommendation: Netflix original: Dark, Season 3 is amazing and complex! This is the third and final season. Treasure it!

Howdy Sprinklerz! Today HBO has a winner on its hands with "WE'RE HERE". It stars three amazing Drag Queens: Shangela (D.J. "Shangela" Pierce), Eureka (David Huggard) and Bob the Drag Queen (Caldwell Tidicue). Each episode has them bringing their over-the-top selves to tiny American town to bring humor and healing! No-Tasty-Treat-Sensation today but I do go on and on about just how wonderful Bath & Body Works summer line of everything is! Enjoy! Tangents:Big Little Lies (HBO, HBO MAX) Recommended it before and I do it again. Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep. WARNING: This show is full of Trauma Triggers including; violence (sexual & domestic).True Detective (HBO, HBO MAX) I haven't seen it yet- so I suspect this has a lot of violence in it and maybe other cautionary material.

Howdy Sprinklerz! Today I am recommending a new and incredible show that is full of female power, terrific backstories/mythology and fantastic actresses! It's Motherland: Fort Salem. (Not to be confused with another show called, Salem) it is on Freeform, Hulu and Roku. It is for adults only due to brief but intense violence, and strong sexual themes.I have put together an omaĝe to 80's Soap Operas (Loved me some Santa Barbara!) which I hope you enjoy!And finally our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is the classically delicious Frito-Lay, Cheetos! (Need I say more?) 

Hey Gang! Here today with a quick mini show with one incredible show recommendation and one Tatsy-Treat-Sensation that you will absolutely love (or at least you ought to)First off today's show is NBC's ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST! Its so uplifting and feel good and full of fun songs- It will be a new fave!!!!!!Today we have QUAKER OATMEAL SQUARES CEREAL is our yummy for your tummy Tasty-Treat-Sensation!!Stay safe and well my friends!

Hello my dear listeners! I hope you all are staying safe and well!

Which is bad but so addictive in all the right/wrong ways!Then I have a cadre of fabulous Tasty-Treat-Sensations!!!Please stay safe, social distance and remember we will get through this!

Hey Sprinklers! We are back from a bit of a break, with a show chock-full great streaming recommendations as well as a Tasty-Treat-Sensation that will blow your socks off!HBO's BIG LITTLE LIES is just breathtaking! It tackles some very serious and intense issues all the while keeping you in suspense and wanting more! The cast is full of Hollywood powerhouses, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Meryll Streep, Nicole Kidman,and Zoë Kravitz who are all incredible. This is strictly a show for adults as it contains depictions of violence and nudity. (What HBO doesn't have violence and nudity?) It's very powerful and really one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.Then I rave on about FX's Pose! Season 1 is on NETFLIX, season 2 has already aired on FX and will apparently coming to NETFLIX sometime this year. The largest cast of Transgender actresses of any show to date. The cast is spectacular! Billy Porter is a scream and such a talent! India Moore is stunning. MJ Rodriguez will steal your heart! And Dominique Jackson is a modern day Joan Collins! Centered around late 1980s New York in the Ball scene which inspired one of Madonna's most famous songs Vogue. Contestants (many of whom were members of the LGBT community) walked runways to compete for trophies. The various themes were fascinating! The houses which is what they called various teams where often literally a collection of people who would live in one house under a "Mother" who would over see the house. Often these were cast-outs who were abandoned by their families because of them being LGBT. The series is set admit the AIDS epidemic. (See the fabulous and heartbreaking documentary, PARIS IS BURNING on NETFLIX to see what POSE is centered on). Pose will want you coming back for more. I recommended this to all my friends who were all so angry when they finished season 1 and realized season 2 is still not on NETFLIX yet. This is also an adults only show. For our Tasty-Treat-Sensation we have Popeye's New Fried Chicken Sandwich. It is incredible! Ever since I had it I have been craving it more and more! Let me recommend you get the fries and the coleslaw! You will not be mad ;)

Hey Gang! Sorry for the delay, after a family emergency we are back to the business of making sure your streaming cue (or is it que?) runneth over!!! Two we have two incredible show recommendations!!The first is NBC'S: THE GOOD PLACE! It is in its fourth and final season currently airing on NBC and HULU, you can watch the first three seasons on NETFLIX. It stars Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Ted Danson (Cheers), and D'Arcy Carden (Barry). It's so wonderful, funny, smart and surprisingly touching!!Then I recommend a new Disney + show. I know, yet one more streaming service to get, but it's totally worth it for this show: THE MANDALORIAN. It's one of the best Star Wars creations since the film Rogue One. It's action packed, cool, at times funny and at times cuter than an Ewok! ("How is that even possible?" you ask. Watch and see!) Watch it before you get spoilers via memes on Facebook and Instagram!!And finally, I take you on a metaphorical walk through the enchanted candy shop "Lolli & Pops." Might I recommend the Peanut Butter and Jelly candy bar? Oh yes, I shall!Enjoy the show :)

Howdy Gang! Welcome to the 29th episode of Sprinklez! Today's episode is here for you after you finish binging your latest favorite show and you feel that dull pang of depression that comes when you don't have a fabulous new show in the wings. I'm here to recommend three Go-To-shows that are there waiting to pick up the pieces of what's left of your streaming tv life (until the next binge worthy show comes along). First off is the hilarious irreverently and endearingly-sweet and funny FOX's BOB'S BURGERS (FOX, HULU). Then the show that is just as funny as it was in the 1900's, NBC's WILL & GRACE (NBC, HULU) and the long running classic MODERN FAMILY (ABC, Cable syndication, HULU).

Howdy Gang! So today I have two incredible streaming recommendations for you! One of my new all time favorite shows is the new Netflix Original, Russian Doll, staring the amazing Natasha Lyonne. Then I recommend the hilarious new Irish comedy, Derry Girls which is also on Netflix. Then I can't help but to recommend three incredibly delicious donuts available at White Castle Restaurants! You are going to love all three (Well, you will in all probability love all three)! Enjoy!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFPao6AWxh/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=5ydebqa1uo9m

Then you are going to love The Kettering Incident (Prime Video)! Then I talk about the Netflix remake of the childhood classic, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power! Which is a beautifully rendered cartoon about girl power, inclusiveness and how teamwork can help overcome close minded bad guys! It rocks!!! In our new segment: "They Are Still With Us." I inform you that a famous actor and actress who for some reason or another I thought had passed away are in fact very much alive! Hurrah and huzzah!! Lastly,I rave about McDonald's holiday pies which will not be available until the holiday season of 2019, but heck we all need something to look forward to, to get us through the year! Right?!

Howdy gang!!! Our 26th episode is full of binge-worthy recommendations so snuggle up with a cup of hot cocoa and a blanket (if you’re in a region with colder weather, otherwise consider icream and shorts) and get ready for some treats!! Both of today’s shows are creative and inventive! Starting with Prime original: FOREVER. Fred Amrisen (SNL, Portlandia) and Maya Rudolph (SNL, Bridesmaids) star in this very quirky, light and incredible different, original and engrossing comedy. And then I’m excited to tell you about the Hulu original: THE FIRST. Starting Sean Penn about a a team of astronauts preparing for a two year mission to Marsin which they risk their lives and leave behind their loved ones, some of whom’s ability to navigate life on their own is questionable. This show does a fantastic job of character development and is inventive with some of its story telling elements. Then I have a fabulous Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Top Round Roast Beef, a restaurant which arguably has the best ice cream (At least in KY and California) Enjoy! Tangents: Ladies In Lavender: (PRIME) Starring Dame Judy Dench and Dame Maggie Smith in a period piece about two sister who rescue a young violinist who is washed ashore by their seaside cottage. Love this and so glad it’s finally on a streaming service!

Hey Gang!!! In today’s episode I recommend a couple of international comedies which will have you literally laughing out loud!! (Really, literally) (Warning: These comedies are strictly adults only). First off is the hilarious Spanish sitcom: Paquita Salas (NETFLIX). Which stars the marvelous conedic Spanish actor, Brays Efe who plays a female character, imagine Jack Black playing a middle aged agent and you get the gist of this show which is full of heart. A riot! Next up , I recommend an all time favorite of mine, the British comedy; Absolutely Fabulous (NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME,HULU) which will have you in stitches and Prada, darling! And finally a Tastey-Treat-Sensation that gives back: The Women’s Bean Project oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix, scrumptious and socially just! ❤️ https://www.womensbeanproject.com

Howdy gang!!!! So today I have two British recommendations for you. The first a suspenseful thriller staring Ben Wishaw (Bridgehead Revisited, 2008), Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge 2001, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2009) and Charlotte Rampling (Broadchurch, Series 2, 2015). It is an engaging, enthralling, keep you on your toes thriller that is surprisingly touching and emotional very deep. Not for the faint of heart. Graphic descriptions of sex, and visually disturbing scenes. Then I let you in on the fun fact that the British Mystery series Inspector Lewis has 10 seasons on Prime video. My all time favorite episode 4 is in Season 3. It's such a fun well crafted mystery and will let you know if you like the series. If you do you have plenty to binge!

Hey Gang!!! Welcome to the 20th episode of Sprinklez! The podcast dedicated to bringing you recommendations of the best shows, movies and podcasts on available on streaming services. Today we start off is the Netflix original series, Babylon Berlin, with intensely beautiful sets, terrific acting and time appropriate costumes. This German television series is such a high calibre you think you're watching a long running movie (it is 16 episodes long, 45 min a piece). The story if set in between the two world wars in Berlin Germany where excess and poverty collide in a crescendo of intertwining plots. Recommended for those who love period pieces, dramas, thrillers but not for those triggers by violence, nudity or cruelty. Secondly, I recommend the amazingly true story documented in this original podcast entitled S-Town by the producers of This American Life and Serial. It plays out like a Tennessee Williams play, or a Flannery O'Connor short story, but this one is all true. The podcast become about the eccentrically fascinating John B. McLemore and the small souther town he reluctantly called home, in addition to the cast of real life characters who make up his real and adoptive family. Lastly, this week's Tasty Treat Sensation is Caffé Monster Energy Coffee, which is a delicious highly caffeinated beverage for those adults without medical concerns, pregnancy or the like.

Hey Gang! It's a favorites episode of Sprinklez to help you find your next favorite movie on Netflix! HOWARDS END is a 1992 Merchant Ivory Victorian England extravaganza!! If you love period pieces, if you love Anthony Hopkins, if you love Emma Thompson, actually if you love breathing air you are in for an incredible film! Next is NACHO LIBRE is an absurdist, hilarious, comedy that will have you rolling in your chair/couch/floor, staring the fantastic-goofball Jack Black. Then our Tasty-Treat-Sensation is RUSSELL STOVERS's Dip-It Chocolate Rabbit with JIF Peanut Butter To Go! Why didn't they think of this before? Why????

Hey Sprinklerz!!! Great news, you can now listen to SPRINKLEZ podcast on SPOTIFY!!! Hurrah!! I have some fantastic recommendations for you in this episode! First off, NETFLIX has redone Queer Eye for the Straight guy, renamed it simply QUEER EYE, with a new group of five gay guys who help make over the lives of men in need. It is surprisingly beautiful and touching!!! Be prepared for fabulousness fashion and tears of joy! Then I fill you in about a Podcast my cousin get me addicted to: UP AND VANISHED (Wherever you listen to your podcasts). This is a true crime mystery hosted by documentary film maker and amateur detective Payne Lindsey. Be forewarned it is a true crime show with the usual trappings of crime scenes, some graphic murder theories and is definitely for children or faint of heart. Lastly, I want you to know about Panera's Ancient Grain and Arugula salad with chicken. With ancient grains (still not sure what that means or what they are but they are delicious! Lol) may I recommend you put it in a you-pick-two combo with a bowl of tomato soup with their homemade croutons! YUM!!

Hey Gang!!! Today's episode is chock full of great recommendations for your queue and a Tasty-Treat-Sensation for the queue of your taste buds! First off, I tell you about one of my favorite comedy sitcoms of all time: SCHITT'S CREEK (NETFLIX) which is co-created and staring Father and Son duo Eugene and Dan Levy! It is the perfect combination of ridiculous and heart warming! Secondly, I recommend a lovely coming of age story with a LGBT theme, Stephen Cone's, PRINCESS CYD (NETFLIX) And lastly (But how can a dessert item ever really come last?) Archer Farm's incredibly delicious MONSTER TRAIL MIX!! Tanget Recommendations: The Wise Kids (HULU) An incredible Independent film written directed and staring Stephen Cone. An accurate look evangelical life in Amercian and how gay people are forced to secretly blend into it or reject it.

Then I talk about the quirky but lovable Australian show, OFFSPRING (NETFLIX/HULU) about an unusual family full of eccentric adorable people! Finally the Tasty-Treat-Sensation is the classic Nabisco's Teddy Grahams! Now in seven flavor varieties!!!!!!!!! Tangents: Mamma Mia (Not on streaming services.

Hey Gang!! Sprinklez presents our first episode of 2018, and this one is doozy! We have a new segment we call Dr. J. Recommends! My co-worker recommended two terrific shows that he and his wife love and you will too. First of we have the British murder mystery: THE FIVE (Netflix) which is a fun, suspenseful mystery, where a five year old disappeared twenty five years ago, after a police investigation a serial killer was caught and confessed to killing him. Fast forward to present day an one of the four friends is a police detective working on solving the murder of a woman where he collects DNA evidence when analyzed it matches the DNA of the missing five year old!!!! It's very clever and smart and surprising moving! Then we talk about the German show, DARK which is a Netflix original which is sort of a more serious Stranger Things mixed with Donny Darko. Its creepy and mysterious but the complex plot is very engaging as it is perplexing. Finally this episode's Tasty-Treat-Sensation is Taco Bell's XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito (Regular Chicken), Nachos and Cheese and Mountain Dew's Baja Blast-which is a mouth watering combo or salty sweet combination you are sure to love at 2am in the morning!

Hey Sprinklers! Today I have a gem of a podcast recommendation from Nightvale Presents: IT MAKES A SOUND! Which is an incredibly upbeat and slightly sanguine (yeah I had to look the meaning of that word up) fictional tale that is so engaging and at the same time joyously uplifting! It stars the fantastically creative Jacquelyn Landgraf (Who also writes and co-directs the episodes). Then I tell you about one of my all time favorite murder mystery shows of all time: THE KILLING. Which stars one of the best actresses on any size screen Mireille Enos (World War Z) and the immensely powerful acting of Joel Kinsman (Robocop/Suicide Squad). People have come back and thanked me for recommending this one. Beware it is very intense and touches on disturbing subject matter!! And last but certainly not least, I have this week's Tasty-Treat-Sesation is the Australian styled yoghurt, NOOSA. Which comes in a variety of sizes and flavors. Creamy and delicious!! (They have citrus flavors including Pineapple, and Blood Orange!) Tangents: Alice Isn't Dead. Also from Night Vale Presents is my favorite of all their podcasts, about a female trucker played by Jasika Nicole (Fringe) in search of her missing wife. It's a little sci-fi a lot of fun. The Family (Amazon, for purchase/rent only. Not on Prime) Staring Joan Allen (Nixon), Rupert Graves (A Room With a View), Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink) starts out as a great thriller mystery but gets tied up in unseemly and unnecessary plot lines. Worth watching for the performances and if you can imagine what could have been a really good is he/isn't he an imposter show.

Hey gang! Today's episode is a FAVORITES EPISODE!!!! Filled to the brim with some of my obsessions! First off my all time favorite Sci-Fi tv series: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (HULU) !!! Which is full of intense plot lines, spectacular special effects and amazing actors/actresses!!! Then I can't help myself in recommending a new video game which is available on all sort of phones, tablets and pc's called: THIMBLEWEED PARK (by the makers of the wildly popular 80's video game Maniac Mansion) where you try to solve a murder in the small and quirky town of Thimbleweed Park. It has a cursing clown (Don't worry, it's censored), plumber's dressed as pigeons, and enough puzzles to keep you guessing for hours. (PS it's set in 1987-what more could you ask for?) I then recommend the 1997 Don Bluth cartoon musical, ANASTASIA (NETFLIX) starring non-other than Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Kelsey Grammar and Angela-Frickin-Lansbury!! Chock full of catchy tunes and incredible artwork! Then lastly the Tasty-Treat-Sensation is an unbelievable combination of Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Brookside's Acai & Blueberry dark chocolate candies (Each sold separately) that will make you lose your mind-but just for a few minutes! Enjoy!! Tangents: Sneakers (1992) NOT ON STREAMING SERVICES: Incredible thriller. Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Sidney Poitier, Mary McDonnell Anastasia (1956) NOT ON STREAMING SERVICES: Classic Mystery, Great costumes! Staring Ingrid Bergman, Yul Brynner, Helen Hayes.

Hey Gang! This is the much anticipated Halloween episode of Sprinklez!!! I let you in on a little secret when I try to convince you to watch the amazing film, ARRIVAL (Hulu, Amazon Prime) starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye of Xmen fame. I totally knew that, btw). Which is (dare I say it) endearing as it is spookily mysterious! Then I let you in on an sacrette (which mean a second secret) which is the little known but magnificently beautiful yet creepy French show, THE RETURNED (Make sure to watch the 2012 edition not the A&E American version, both of which are on Netflix. I cannot even begin to tell you how awesomely 80's Netflix's STRANGER THINGS is! All I can say is that it is a rad mix of all the radical elements of Goonies, E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, all rolled up into one wicked show! Finally the Halloween Tasty-Treat-Sensation is the remarkably gooey and delicious Googoo Cluster!!

Hey Gang! Today's episode is Anime themed episode!!! I talked about three of my favorite anime series and movie that are on streaming services. I can't say enough about the sprawling epic, ATTACK ON TITAN (Season 1 on Netflix, Season 1 & 2 on Hulu). Set in a fantasy world where cities have humungous walls built around them to protect them from man eating giants!!! Its so suspenseful it verges on scary but the incredible plot twists and characters will keep you coming back for more! I go on to rave about another adventure show, the oddly named but fascinating, SWORD ART ONLINE (Netflix,Hulu). About a virtual reality game that players unwittingly get tricked into playing, with real life consequences. Very original and fun! Then I cannot wait to fill you in on one of the best Sci-Fi movies in the past ten years, HARLOCK SPACE PIRATE (Netflix). Finally the Tasty-Treat-Sensation for this episode is the delicious Japanese treat, POCKY!!!! Tangents shows I mention in the show: Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman, G-Force) Not on any streaming service. DVDs Available on Amazon Spirited Away. Not on any streaming service.

Howdy Gang! This is a MYSTERY themed episode of Sprinklez! Today I share some of my favorite mysteries that you can watch/listen to on streaming platforms. My first recommendation is the incredible 2014 film, MAN FROM RENO (Netflix). Set in and around San Francisco this mystery weaves together two seemingly disparate stories into a terrific modern mystery with the classic elements of a traditional film noir thriller. Then I talk about one of the most famous fictional detectives of all time, Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in the British television series, POIROT. Season 7-13 is now available on Netflix. I let you in on some of particular favorite episodes including; After the Funeral, Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, and Murder in Mesopotamia. You are in for the entertainment recommendation of your life when I talk about the NPR radio show/podcast: THIS AMERICAN LIFE. (ThisAmericanLife.Org) which has consistently given the world one of the most creative and informative shows since its advent in 1995. It has both real life and fictional stories by some of the best journalists and authors of today (David Sedaris, David Rakoff, Sarah Vowell, etc). One of my favorite episodes in the This American Life cannon is the mysterious and true story, THE GHOST OF BOBBY DUNBAR (Ep.#352). It is enthralling suspense story!!! This episode's mysterious Tasty-Treat-Sensation is Smucker's MAGIC SHELL! It's a liquid then it's a solid. I haven't had it since childhood but its chocolatey and mysterious so it's gotta be good! Tangents: Murder on the Orient Express. 2017 to be released in American theaters November 10, 2017. Staring Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz & Johnny Depp. P.S.I. Luv U. (CBS, 1991). Starring Connie Sellecca (Hotel) and Greg Evigan (My Two Dads). SADLY this is not available on any streaming platform but you can catch the super-fun intro and some scenes from the show on YouTube! Murder on the Orient Express.(1974) All Star Cast!: Starring Albert Finney, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Anthony Perkins. Unfortunately not on any streaming platform. Available on DVD Remington Steele: This 80s classic detective series starring Stephanie Zimbalist, Pierce Brosnan and the incredible Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) is now on Hulu!!! Murder She Wrote: Starring Angela Lansbury is sadly not on any streaming service currently but can be purchased on DVD.

Hey Gang!! This is a special themed episode of Sprinklez! It's the PERIOD PIECE show!! This episode is a Victorian/Edwardian bonanza, starting off with my recommendation of the delightfully charming 2007 British series: CRANFORD (Amazon Prime) starring Dame Judi Dench, Julia McKenzie, Julia Sawalha, Michael Gambon, Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter and scores of other amazing actors/actresses. Then I fill you in on PBS's 2002 amazing and enthrallingly educational series MANOR HOUSE (Amazone Prime) which is full of Downton Abby type period drama with a reality show twist. A group of regular people live in a 1906 Manor House for three months living out the roles of either a privileged family or their dutiful servants. It s an Edwardian social experiment gone awry! Fabulous, fascinating and fun. I conclude the episode with a 117 year old Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bar! It is still a delectable treat when combined with graham crackers and marshmallows in the form of a s'more!!! Enjoy! Tangent recommendation: Lark Rise to Candleford, 2008 (Amazon Prime, Hulu)

Hey Sprinklerz! Today's another "Favorites" episode of Sprinklez where I talk about two of my all-time-faves: Fox's WAYWARD PINES (Season 1 & 2 are on Hulu) and Disney's GRAVITY FALLS (Season 1 & 2 are on Hulu). WAYWARD PINES is a fantastic and mysterious thriller set in the too-perfect town of Wayward Pines nestled in the forest of the American North West. Executive producer M. Night Shyamalan brings us a fast paced, plot twisting story pulled from the pages of the trilogy of books by author Blake Crouch entitled; Pines (2012); Wayward (2013); and The Last Town(2014). I rave on about the amazing cast and despite watching countless YouTube videos on the matter, I still totally mess up Siobhan Fallon Hogan's name (It's pronounced Shavon, who knew? Sadly, not me.) She is amazingly funny and endearing in this show. Then I almost burst with excitement about Disney's GRAVITY FALLS which is cartoon-cuteness overload. Set again in the mysterious northwest it features a set of twins, Mabel and Dipper Pines as they arrive at their Grunkle Stan's house for the summer. His home doubles as a Mystery Shack which is a tourist trap full off oddities. The siblings find themselves solving one puzzling mystery after another while encountering the adorably-weird mythical creatures of the forest. Cannot say enough about this show!! Smart, funny, charming. Last but not least I tell you why you need Nestlé's CHUNKY candy bar in your life!!! Tangents: The Village (For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video) One of my Favorite M. Night Shyamalan Bob's Burger (Netflix/Hulu) One of the best comedies ever! Empire (Fox/Hulu) Fantastic modern soap opera with great music! Duck Tales (For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video) Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers (For rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video)

Hey Gang!! Timmy V. here with the latest episode of Sprinklez! Today's episode is near and dear to my heart as it's my Summer Guilty Pleasures show! Summer is my favorite time of year! It's a time for relaxing, eating ice cream treats and watching lighter shows on tv. My first pick is the addictive obstacle competition called "ULTIMATE BEASTMASTER" which is a Netflix original series with contestants from six different countries compete for the title of, you guessed it: Ultimate Beastmaster! Then I simply adore Fox's the long running dance competition show "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?" Which is chock full of incredible dancers, choreography and music to lift anyone's spirits. I try to convince you that PROJECT RUNWAY ALL STARS is worthy of your summer tv show lists. It may be seen by many of you aa the red-headed step child of it's more popular older sister, Project Runway but it is just as entertaining and full of magnificent creativity and the typical drama you have come to expect with scissor wielding fashion designers! Lastly, I reveal my latest Tasty-Treat-Sensation find: Pretzel Ice Cream cones!!!!!! Sadly I have only found it at a local Ice Cream shop here in Kentucky called Louisville Cream. They are unbelievably delectable!!!! (Hopefully you will find something similar in your locale)

Hey Sprinklerz! I hope you are ready for a tangent filled ride of great recommendations!!! My friend Cicely sits in the co-host chair as we talk about one of our all time favorites shows; BLEAK HOUSE (Amazon Prime/Hulu) Which is a stunning 2005, eight part miniseries rendition of the Charles Dickens's novel of the same name. It is chock full of an amazing cast of characters played by a cadre of incredible actors/actresses (Including: Gillian Anderson, Carey Mulligan, Anna Maxwell, Charles Dance, Burn Gorman, Pauline Collins, Nathaniel Parker and on and on and on!) Intricate storylines with unpredictable plot twists will leave you breathless. Then we try to convince you to watch the Netflix original, THE O.A. It is such a creative and original show but due to unique and at times complicated characters you may have a hard time getting into it but once you do you will love it! It's wonderfully mysterious and it will have you guessing the whole way through. Definitely unlike any other show anywhere. And finally Cicely shares her tasty-treat-sensation which is Hershey's Cookie Layer Crunch Mint. It was so good she eat it on her way over and just brought the wrapper to remind her of the name, hahahahaha (Sad but true.) In today's episode we could not help ourselves and end up talking about another three shows: Inspector Lynley Mysteries (TV Series, 2001-2008): Based on the books by Elizabeth George,. This Murder Mystery series staring Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small is sadly not currently on any streaming service. Pacific Rim. (2013 Movie) Monsters vs Robots fun! This lighthearted monster flick is not to be missed by those looking for a high-octane monster smashing adventure! Unfortunately it is not on any streaming service, but plays often on cable TV. Ladies in Lavender (2005, Movie) Staring Judi Dench and Maggie Smith set in the 1930s, Dench and Smith play sisters who rescue a Polish Violinist who washes ashore and ends up changing their mundane lives. Enchanting and endearing. Not in streaming source but can be rented or bought on Amazon.

Konichiwa Sprinklerz! In today's episode of Sprinklez I am in love with Netflix's "SENSE8" which is a surprisingly touching action show filled with an amazingly diverse cast of characters. Despite being an action show (which I tend not to like) it is heavy on the plot and has a basic simple message of love, acceptance and a spirit of "If we work together we can solve any problem we are faced with." Uplifting and exciting, I highly recommend it! Then I talk about the ABC show "AMERICAN CRIME" (Season 1, 2 & 3 On Netflix) which has an amazing cast. Each season there is a new crime and subsequent trial set in different parts of the country, but they use the same cast, so each season the actors are playing entirely new roles. Such an inventive idea and so fun to see them each in their new role. Please note it is a serious and heavy show tackling very real issues our culture is facing. Last but not least I talk about one of my favorite desserts of all time: Hostess Cherry Pies.

Today's episode is a "Favorites" episode based around one of my all time favorite mystery thriller television shows: BROADCHURCH, (Netflix, Season 1 & 2). Then I tie in my new favorite sitcom CRASHING (Netflix, Season 1), which is a laugh-out-loud yet super endearing British show on Netflix. Then I wrap up the show with a delectable tasty treat sensation from WHITE CASTLE RESTAURANTS: Dessert-on-a-stick which is a brownie covered in fudge! A BROWNIE COVERED IN FUDGE!! Need I say more? Probably not, but I do anyway. Enjoy!!!

In today's episode I am raving about the intelligent and moving German 2014 film "Phoenix," loving the podcast from Dan Taberski called "Missing Richard Simmons" about Amercia's beloved health guru who has disappeared from public life and then I surprisingly talking about a pretty healthy Tasty-Treat-Sensation. Sorry healthy-eaters, but don't expect too many of those type of food recommendations from me in the future ;)
