What did you watch?
After a visit from a contractor neighbor, in which we 100% determined
that the leak affecting both of our places was from the unit above mine,
and not from my unit, I mostly plugged away at work stuff (getting ready
for Fall semester already!) pretty much all day (yeah, I took breaks,
but it was pretty steady all day!!).
So, all I got through were soaps, and the new flick on LMN.
soaps: B&B (live!) - Luna's aunt rakes Luna's mother over the coals when
the mom publicly (and repeatedly!) says that she's glad Luna is dead! (I
can definitely see the heartless EVOL! mom's point on this!) Meanwhile, BitchFace Steffy blames Bill Spencer for Liam getting shot.
I skipped "live" Y&R as I am still catching up on episodes (see below).
I saw bit of "live" "Beyond the Gates", but not enough to comment.
Y&R - On Pee+, I watched, I think Tue's and Wed's ep's of Y&R. One
was weighed down with Danny Romalotti + Cricket(!) stuff. The other was
stuff with Filis[sic!] and Cane in France, and then Sharon tries to pump Filis[sic!] for info to see if she's sold all of the dumb Newmans out to Cane. Also, Chelsea comforts Victoria who is grieving over Cole's death.
Sidenote: Over the past few weeks, they've shown 40 year old flashbacks
of Hope (Kristian Alfonso) on DOOL, and Danny (Michael Damian) and
Cricket (Lauralee Bell) on Y&R, and I was struck by how Damian sounds
pretty much *exactly* the same as he did 40 years ago! Bell sounds
mostly the same (though her voice is less "girly" 40 years later), but Alfonso sounds *nothing* like she did 40 years ago!! I'm going to guess Alfonso was/is a smoker, because you cannot tell that her speaking voice
40 of years ago and her speaking voice now are even the same person!

Hey, thanks for asking!
I chipped away some at my TCM sword and sandal marathon.
MY SON, THE ZERO was untouchably terrible and I didn’t make it very far into it.
That’s supposed to read HERO, and I am amused at what spiel Chuck decided to change it into. It’s also supposed to be unwatchably.
THE MINOTAUR
This was at least good enough I made it all the way through all although it needed a lot more Minotaur and it definitely needed some nekkid nudity
which I’m betting it originally had in Italy and/or Spain.
The night before I watched ALIENS, which turned out not to be the extended cut, even though everybody said it was the extended cut, but the length didn’t match.
I found that THUNDERBOLTS was on the Plex and I watched enough of it before
I fell asleep that I will definitely finish it.

I'm not sure why you thought this would be OK, considering it looks to
be D- Italian film from the early 1960s.
THE MINOTAUR

If you mean this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055518/
IMDb says no naked nudity. Being from 1960, I'm not surprised - would
likely need to be several years later to have that.

AI/Google tells me this won't come to Disney+ until next month, or
possibly even Sept.
IMDb tells me that it only made $382M worldwide - for an MCU film, that
must be considered to be near "bomb" territory, so that probably means
it'll come to Disney+ later rather than sooner... :(

And yet somehow, I finished watching it last night. I have a mixed review.
I enjoyed the first 2/3 of it quite a bit, but they definitely did not
stick the landing. And they killed the actress I like best right at the beginning :-(

If only you had signed up for the Plex when I suggested.

I do have Plex. But I think Plex would have ads?... In any case, Disney+ usually has among the best visual signal quality, so I'd rather wait and watch it via D+ on the OLED.
