Steel and The Mandalorian

 

I missed The Mandalorian and Grogu in theatres - my local cinema closed down and now I'm about 40 minutes away from the next closest one.  Even though I thought the third season of the series was a step down from the first two, I do enjoy the characters and look forward to checking out their new adventure once it hits Disney+ in a few more weeks.

Flash Gordon and The Mandalorian

 

The Mandalorian has been incredibly enjoyable to watch on Disney+ and I look forward to what's rumored to be its final upcoming season.  One of the coolest parts of the show is how it is created.  A new technology, based off of video game engines, allows the filmmakers to shoot in "The Dome" where visual backgrounds are projected on a giant curved surface that surrounds the performers.  I was amazed when I first learned that the entire series was filmed on a soundstage, and this is how they managed it.  It is a truly groundbreaking technique that I am betting will have a big effect on future movies.
