I can't stand Natasha Lyonne which means I probably wouldn't like Russian Doll--though it sounds pretty cool.

It's worth giving it a shot. I probably would have said I found her annoying before I watched S1, and she's definitely still herself, but she grows on you. The supporting characters are great, too.

I don't get not liking her. Child star who royally hosed up her life with drugs but had a nice comeback second act career in her 30s is pretty rad.

Russian Doll s1 was loving great. I had no idea who the main actress was before seeing it so I don’t know if it’s her schtick or what but I’m a huge fan of timeloop stories.

Im loving all the split screen shots in Fargo 2. I don't remember the last thing I saw that did that correct. I don't even think Tarantino pulled it off as good. season 2 is very grind house now that I think about it

lots of Lebowski references in this season too. is the show 100% a Coen sendup ?

I do like her a lot, but I can see someone being rubbed the wrong way by the sort of "disaffected superiority" Gen X vibe she can tap into. That sort of thing usually bothers me, but with her it works somehow.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
I just watched the first season of Russian Doll and I've never seen her in anything before

It took me several episodes before I could get my head around her voice. To my limey ears, she sounds just like a cartoon character. She sounds like Bugs Bunny

Anyway it turns out I really like that, actually, and it was a cool season

And I can't get that fuckin' song out of my head

Well Mel Blanc gave Bugs a Brooklyn accent, so there probably is some genuine similarity there.

Her heavy smoker voice is a tough sell for me. Just makes it unpleasant to watch. Similar to Janeane Garafolo -- not sure if it's smoking or what but compare her voice in the 90s to what she sounds like now. It's all I can focus on, unfortunately.

Even for maybe most Americans, the show was an interesting reminder that there are actual people out there who really talk like that. It feels cartoonish at times, but it's not an affectation.

The Coen Brothers are executive producers on the show and some of the seasons are loosely based on their movies so yeah there are some references.

It also (end of season spoilers) has a very functional purpose in the story by acting as a red-herring for Danson's universal language, beyond its larger thematic significance.

Neat, I need some dad-level crime/justice procedural and the new Bosch feels small compared to its glory days. Is it the dumb freevee logo in the corner? Is it the reduced cast of characters? Is it the commercial breaks?

Not really a procedural per se, but the new David Simon show We Own This City on HBO is pretty great.

Just saw in the news that Netflix will be putting up Norm Macdonald's last comedy special on May 30. It was shot in his living room, just in case he couldn't live long enough to have it professionally done.

Netflix has far more comedy specials than I want to see but I'll be watching it.

Thanks to the early posters in the thread for pointing out Kanopy; I logged in with my library card and was impressed by the selection. I'd actually never seen Chinatown, so I finally caught up with that, and I plan on watching Moonlight next as I intended to watch it after it won Best Picture but never got around to it. Any suggestions for my other two credits for the month on there?

I just watched the last episode last night and yeah, it really did. Felt pretty unfinished too considering the very first scene of episode one was a flash-forward that never gets revisited. I'd definitely be up for a second season.

If you're comfortable with gay cinema and frank depictions of gay sex, God's Own Country and Stranger by the Lake are both on there and are very good.

God's Own Country stars The Crown's Josh O'Connor and is about a young unhappy farmer who lives with his grandmother and sickly father, and he numbs his frustrations with drinking and casual sex until a Romanian migrant worker sets him on a new path.

Stranger by the Lake is a French film, which premiered at Cannes in 2013 where it won Best Director, and the star was nominated for a Cesar (the French equivalent of an Oscar) for Best Actor. It's an erotic thriller drama about a young man who regularly goes cruising at a nude beach, where he falls in love with another regular who may be a murderer.

Both are refreshing for gay films in that neither one deals with the anguish of coming out, being persecuted, AIDS, etc. They're straightforward with what they're about.

Dogtown and Z-Boys is an amazing skate doc from 2001 about the Zephyr crew from Santa Monica. Makes a killer double feature with the Tony Hawk doc.

You can do a search for ‘Criterion’ or ‘A24’ and bring up those respective collections. Can’t go wrong with anything in there.
