Making an offer and a film we can't refuse

THE OFFER on Paramount Plus gives an inside view of the making of a film  classic: MARIO PUZO'S THE GODFATHER. A look back at this great film and  the challenges the filmmakers had to overcome to make it. 

 What does the classic film FROM HERE TO ETERNITY have in common with THE  GODFATHER? How does THE GODFATHER PART II compare to the original?  Three films, connected by two degrees of separation, on today's episode! 

 An old-school Classic TREK fan reviews two of the latest offerings from  Paramount Plus: STAR TREK: PICARD and STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS. 

 Apple TV Plus's interpretation of the epic Asimov FOUNDATION novels  makes the dry original accessible with fully dimensional characters and  beautiful visuals. 

Cool titles or titles that don't tell us anything; premises that sell  the story or make us pass it by; actors and directors and franchises  that are must-watch. Why do we watch what we do? 

 A review of the delightful JULIA, on HBO Max, about the beginning of the  TV career of Julia Child, French chef and public television star. 

 Netflix historical series THE LAST KINGDOM ends in the best possible  way, with the hero getting what he has fought for and the villains  getting their just desserts. Alexander Dreymon plays Uhtred in this  great five-season swashbuckler!
