Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Deli Boys - Season Two

Turns out inheriting a criminal empire was the easy part… and more money really does mean more problems. 

The second season on Disney+'s Deli Boys, the Dars are drowning in dirty cash and Philly’s sketchiest crooks are circling. 

Enter Max Sugar: casino king, money launderer, and Lucky’s new crush who turns laundering into a chaotic situationship. 

Raj plots revenge on Ahmad, Mir tries to expand DarCo without blowing it up, and Philly D.A. Andrew Chadwater hopes one big bust will make him mayor.

Girls, Andrew Rannells joins as Andrew Chadwater, a district attorney, along with Kumail Nanjiani as Danyal, Max Sugar's attorney. So there is some star power in the shorter six episode second season.

There is currently no word on a third season for our favourite Deli Boys. However the series seems popular with critics and I'd say it's not the most expensive comedy to make.

Hulu has a decent supply of comedies unlike other streamers like Paramount+ and Starz. With Only Murders in the Building, Futurama, King of the Hill, Chad Powers, and Not Suitable for Work either currently streaming or returning.

Deli Boys was an express watch this season, but a fun little ride. I would say the way things leave off, a third season may stream sometime in the future.

NOT another streaming Movie - Scary Movie (2026 film)

Scary Movie (also known as Scary Movie 6) is the return for horror-parody film series. The sixth instalment in the Scary Movie film series, following Scary Movie 5, which was released all the way back in 2013.

The return has been referred to as the spiritual sequel to the first two films. With Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, & Regina Hall all returning for some madness.

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. 

Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Faris (“Cindy”), & Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favourites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. 

Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. ​Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.

Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Dave Sheridan, Chris Elliott, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Craig Wayans, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Savannah Lee Nassif, Cameron Scott Roberts, Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, Ruby Snowber, & Benny Zielke joined the sixth film.

Whilst, Anthony Anderson, Kai Cenat, Teyana Taylor, and Shaquille O'Neal cameo as themselves.

A sixth Scary Movie film was announced in 2024 and later that same year, it was revealed to have the involvement of the Wayans family for the first time since their departure from the franchise following the release of Scary Movie 2 (2001) due to creative conflicts with the original producers.

Scary Movie has received negative reviews from critics, however the box office is solid thus far! Even beating fellow blockbuster release Masters of the Universe

This was insane, but fun. Some of the pop culture jokes were just wild!

I did need this after a LONG ass week. Gosh I am loving these long ass weekends. All hail the king. lol. Joking.

I'll pass this piss take on the crowded horror movie world right now. 2.5 Stars for bringing the silly, to a mad ass world!

Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Bad Company - Season One

Bad Company was a show I was so desperately looking forward to.

The comedy focuses on Margie Argyle (Anne Edmonds) and the Argyle Theatre, her unchecked spending has sent in Julia McNamara (Kitty Flanagan) who is tasked with saving a theatre company teetering on the edge of closure.

At the centre of the chaos is Margie, the Argyle Theatre’s wildly confident artistic director who is determined to stage her most experimental, critic-wowing masterpiece yet. There’s just one small problem: Margie’s bold creative vision might also send the already-fragile theatre hurtling towards financial ruin. 

Standing between Margie and catastrophe is Julia, a corporate high-flyer with a flawless track record and the steely resolve to match. Tasked with rescuing the crumbling Argyle Theatre, Julia is determined to whip the place into shape, even if that means going head-to-head with Margie’s chaotic genius at every turn.

It's a small ensemble cast alongside Edmonds and Flanagan, music star Kira Puru stars as Kat, Louise Siversen as Carmel, with Sibylla Budd as Caitlen Allard in the finale.

I wanted to love this so much. I did enjoy parts but it was very niche. I used to work in musical theatre, theatre spaces, so this was no in joke for me. I got the theatre quirks, but I am not sure a larger audience would.

Edmonds and Flanagan were incredible together. However I will always love Edmonds for Helen Bidou and her stand up.

This was enjoyable and decent ABC comedy. I do hope they bring back their local Sunday night drama soon too. Another Sunday sitcom is incoming, Ground Up, starring Sam Pang, commences tomorrow.

Until next time, happy Kings Birthday long weekend. The final long weekend, until the October long weekend!

Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Sullivan's Crossing - Season Four

Season four of Sullivan's Crossing sees Maggie setting her sights on a new vision for her career, and a renewed commitment to Cal, only to be blindsided by Liam’s sudden reappearance, which threatens to disrupt Maggie’s plans. 

The latest Sullivan's Crossing concluded on Stan Monday lunchtime. Sadly this week has been hectic in the lead up to the long weekend. Man I have caught up on some TV though. Deli Boys second season, started Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, damn, even though network TV is done. There are some gems currently streaming.

Sullivan's Crossing is basically a network show, originating from CTV, in the USA it streams on The CW. Basically all The CW can afford is international dramas. Their final original series, All American commences next month.

Buried in the US summer.

So, this Canadian romantic series, is possibly my mums favourite series. She is desperate on a verdict for a fifth season. A renewal which could really go either way. A fifth season for any series in this current TV climate is a big deal. 

Sullivan's Crossing is sweet enough, just with losing father figure, Scott Patterson as Harry 'Sully' Sullivan, the series is only left with four main players.

This season dragged out the love story triangle, however the plot lines could be running low. It is just a sweet, comfort viewing piece of TV. I enjoy the scenery, but damn some episodes are so predictable, even my 71 year old mother can guess what's incoming...

Either way, all four seasons of Sullivan's Crossing are streaming now on Stan.

Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Euphoria - Season Three/Series Finale

The third and final season of Euphoria, inspired by Ron Leshem's miniseries of the same name, commenced mid-April, concluding yesterday on HBO.

The season centers on recovering addict young adult Rue Bennett navigating her faith while also being drawn into the illegal drug trade. 

Zendaya stars as Rue alongside an ensemble cast consisting of Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, and Toby Wallace.

Way back in February 2022, Euphoria was renewed for a third season, filming commenced in February 2025 and wrapped in November. 

The season consists of eight episodes and received mixed reviews from critics. On the same day that the final episode of the third season was released, HBO confirmed that the series had concluded after three seasons.

Which damn was obvious. Let's be honest it's a miracle the show made it to a third season.

Season one was good, season two (and the specials) were OK, this season however was rubbish. It was too much at times. The shock factor had long left the building. The show was just turning into a giant pile of burning trash.

I hate to be bold, but this was really bad. Like Riverdale bad. Every episode, just got worse and worse. Poor Sydney Sweeney, there were some low points in this season. So how'd the series end?

Rue escapes Laurie's ranch with G's help after injuring Wayne and fleeing from Harley. As the DEA closes Laurie's operation, Alamo takes control of a fentanyl shipment by switching ambulances. Facing arrest, Laurie kills herself. 

Alamo gives Rue money and Percocet pills secretly containing fentanyl, and she dies from an overdose, with Ali finding her the next day. 

Three months later, Ali attends his final recovery meeting, where he confesses that he has lost faith, and declares the dealers, politicians and enablers of the drug trade simply evil. He then confronts Alamo at his strip club. After Bishop secretly unloads Alamo's gun, Ali shoots and kills him. 

Elsewhere, Cassie and Maddy plan to turn Nate's house into an influencer business and invite Lexi to join, but she refuses. 

Jules copes with Rue's death by painting her portrait. 

Ali later visits a religious family Rue had known, introduces himself by his Islam pre-conversion name, and leads a prayer, during which Rue appears peacefully in a vision.

Sound fucked up? Well it was. If you never started this series back in 2019, maybe give this one a miss.

More TV incoming. Deli Boys second season just landed, I'm pacing myself through Canadian drama Sky Med. Not to mention Canada's other favourite Virgin River style drama, Sullivan's Crossing. That is coming soon.

Till then, enjoy the full moon!

Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - Half Man - Miniseries

Following the success of Baby Reindeer, Half Man is the latest gritty drama created by Richard Gadd.

The British six-part series, is a co-production between BBC and HBO. 

The series stars Gadd, Jamie Bell, Stuart Campbell, and Mitchell Robertson. Ruben (Campbell) & Niall (Robertson) grew up as brothers despite not being related by blood—one strong and fiercely loyal, the other quiet and gentle. 

Thirty years later, they reunite at Niall’s (Bell) wedding, but Ruben (Gadd) seems uneasy and on edge; when a sudden act of violence erupts, it sends the story back through their shared past, revealing how their bond was shaped and how even the closest relationships can ultimately fall apart.

This series was bold, rough and damn terrifying at times. Some scenes were just way too full on. Like honestly, so gruesome.

Toxic masculinity on steroids is Half Man in a nut shell. The series (like Hacks) also is a fail for HBO Max in Australia, as Stan got the streaming rights for this big title.

Meaning two out of three HBO finales this past week, live outside of HBO Max. Why would anyone sign up to that service? Particularly if they are being merged with Paramount one day...

In the grim finale, four years pass, and Ruben is in jail for attacking Benji, but he wants to turn his life around for Mona and their son, Baird, who was born while he was in jail. 

Niall's semi-autobiographical novel about his experiences with Ruben becomes a hit, but the public is more interested in Ruben than in him. Ruben's mother Maura dies, and Niall informs Ruben in prison, causing Ruben to lash out at Niall. 

Niall's lifestyle of drugs and sex spirals until he reunites with Alby, years after Ruben's assault, and they rekindle their romance. With Alby's encouragement, Niall visits Ruben in prison and finally comes out to him. To his surprise, Ruben is accepting, having always suspected, and criticises him for wasting his life trying to belong. Niall blames Ruben's language for his self-loathing, but Ruben deflects back at Niall for rejecting his own truth. 

Ruben also reveals he was a victim of sexual assault from his own father when he was young, resulting in him feeling like a "half man." The two become open and vulnerable to one another, but the mood sours when Niall reveals that he slept with Mona and fathered Baird, infuriating Ruben. 

In the present, Ruben attacks Niall in the barn during his wedding for sleeping with Mona, and they have a gruelling fight. Niall manages to stab Ruben's side, mortally wounding Ruben, but Ruben manages to smother Niall to death, telling his brother that he loves him. The dying Ruben sits down on a bale of hay, staring at Niall's corpse.

It was an intense final hour. This show, showed a bleak outlook for angry young men. It was an interesting, yet brutal watch. Viewers be warned, this is full on!
