CHUM's TV Guide

[Heidi Ho]

I just finished Titan, the Netflix documentary, and if you can only see one, I'd recommend that over Implosion.

I just thought it was more factual and easier to understand the timeline and all the members of the team. There was some overlap from the hearing but that's to be expected. It seems like the focus of Implosion was to paint Rush with a black brush, while the focus of Titan was to tell the story of how what happened happened.

One thing I found interesting was that in each one, we heard from one family member of someone who was lost. In Implosion, it was Christine Dawood, the mother and wife of the father and son and in Titan, it was P.H. Nargolet's daughter, Sidonie.

Both documentaries were good and I think they filled in a few gaps for each other. So sad for so many people.

They tell it from different perspectives - if you can watch both I recommend doing that. Personally I thought Implosion was better on the technical details.

Wow the Executive Summary is brutally honest.

Wow the Executive Summary is brutally honest.

Wow, they did not mince their words at all.

The Americas narrated by Tom Hanks is on NBC right now. There’s some great wildlife footage.

I watched Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix and liked it. It has narration in parts by a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. It stars Sally Field (who couldn't love that?) as a widow who works as a very fastidious cleaner at an aquarium.

It has a bit of a "Hallmark movie" vibe, which might be a turn-off to some. Overall, I loved the mostly realistic portrayal of octopuses' intelligence (not that I think they can actually speak, lol).
