A highly curated list of what to watch and read — by Blockworks
It’s the end of the week (or the start of the week, depending on how you see it), and we’ve got some ideas for how you can spend it.
If you’ve ever wondered what Blockworks reads, listens to and watches on our days off, wonder no more.
Jason Yanowitz liked listening to A Cheeky Pint with Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, reading Replay by Ken Grimwood, and watching 30 Rock.
Santiago Roel Santos liked reading The Missing Billionaires by Victor Haghani and James White, Poor Charlie’s Almanack by Charlie Munger, and The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks.
David Canellis liked watching Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure on Netflix.
“Amazingly enthusiastic cast with outlandish stories of dedication to treasure hunts.”
If you read The Drop…
Kate Irwin liked reading She’s Always Hungry by Eliza Clark —
“A beautiful work of contemporary short fiction, blending body horror with scifi tales.”
— and watching Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon —
“A late-90s anime that explores identity, destiny, and pop culture through a psychological lens. If you like dark anime and David Lynch you're going to dig this one.”
If you read Forward Guidance…
Ben Strack liked listening to What Now? with Trevor Noah —
“Insightful discussion ranging from politics to parenting.”
— and reading The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton —
“Read recently, thoroughly enjoyed. Classic coming-of-age tale and powerful story written from the perspective of a teenager.”
If you read The Breakdown…
Byron Gilliam liked reading Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.
“Fun time-travel historical fiction, very well written.”
If you read Lightspeed…
Donovan Choy liked watching The Deuce by David Simon.
“A fantastic show on how the pornography disrupted the sex worker trade in 70s/80s New York.”
If you read Blockworks news…
Jack Kubinec liked reading The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
“A good author for memecoin traders, as Dostoevsky struggled with a gambling addiction for much of his life. Plus, this book explores how truth can often defy rational. In other words, believe in something.”
Macauley Peterson liked watching Andor on Disney+.
“Star Wars show with the quality of The Wire.”
Daranee Ganesh liked reading Blockchain Radicals by Joshua Dávila.
“Taking political action, FAST.”
Happy reading, watching and listening.
