Yeah that sure was an episode. Still can't tell if I like this season or not.

Severance on Apple TV is great.

Lots of business dramas lately.

Hard agree that The Dropout is way too sympathetic to Holmes. I think the characters are played well, but it's just mostly filler. Then again, I guess that was Theranos.

Super Pumped, about the rise of Uber on Showtime had a decent first episode. But same thing, way too sympathetic.

Reacher is great because it's literally just a show about a large ham with a license to kill

Winning Time, about the Lakers dynasty, on HBO is great. It's Adam McKay so it has a ton of fourth wall but the cast is so insane and they're having so much fun that it doesn't bother me.

Can anyone explain why Jerry Buss was able to buy the Lakers with a check but cash would have been a deal-breaker?

It was still cash, but half in property trades instead of the full cash amount ($67 million)

The Village in retrospect was pretty interesting. I remember hoping the twist was something really unique and not what I thought it was gonna be, but instead it was the most obvious twist. Still a banger of a soundtrack. Signs soundtrack is still one of the creepiest I've ever heard.

Chip and Dale was actually pretty funny and had some really insane cameos. I liked it.

Care to spoil the weirdest stuff?

Some visual, some with speaking lines.

Ugly Sonic from the original Sonic trailer and he's played by Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, Randy Marsh, McGruff the Crime Dog, Tigra, He Man and Skeletor, Darkwing Duck, 90s Disney afternoon Baloo but in his new real bear form from the live action Jungle Book singing Disney afternoon themes, Shredder, Roger Rabbit.

The whole plot revolves around taking copyrighted characters and turning them into offbrand looking characters through forced surgery that are then forced to film weird knockoff films, such as Pooj The Fat Honey Bear and The Sampsons. Tons of background movie poster gags and signs. Like Butthead is running for president.



There's way way more but they are fast.

While not necessary, the Woodstock 99 documentary Netflix put out today is much better than the HBO one imo, and a lot more hosed up.

Yeah Prey loving ruled goddamn. I really would be into just dropping a Predator into different time periods as a new franchise.

Sopranos is actually about food. Here is a Youtube video with (most) food related things that is almost as long as an episode lol

I think the deal is it cannot connect in any way with the original film or Hobbit trilogy, which is so bizarre. The composer came back to do the theme and you can tell he dropped some OG hints in that theme, plus the general vibe.

Streamed lately:

The LOTR show is great so far, as is House of the Dragon.

Nope was one of the best movies this year.

I'm the number one Jurassic Park fan on Earth and Jurassic World Dominion was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It makes me sad.

Well yeah, obviously. It's more like the stylization and logo treatment, and no same actors and so on.

I read they found a huge piece of the Challenger recently so I watched the Challenger documentary on Netflix. It's really well done but obviously very loving sad.

The Witcher Blood Origin was OK. I think it's better than a lot of people are saying but it leaves a lot to be desired and some portions reminded me of a generic WB fantasy show from the 90s. However it's only 4 episodes and only the first one is long so not a huge investment.

Yeah watched The Menu last night and it ruled. I thought it was really well shot. Also lol'd at Tyler's Bullshit.

Pale Blue Eye was fine. A little slow burn and it wrapped up quick but it was a pretty decent watch.

I'm losing my mind over The Last of Us reviews. Cannot wait until Sunday.

Isn't that why they released Last of Us Part 1? To import the mechanics from 2 into 1?

It adds some of the mechanics like the workshop building but more than anything it's a visual overhaul. 2 plays so much better because the movement feels insanely good. But it has things that 1 couldn't have because it would fundamentally break the game's design (the diving and proning stuff, a jump button) which organically also fits because Joel is over 50 in the first game (with shitloads of pain).

Tbh while it's clearly a cliffhanger ending if Severance ended that way it kinda would stand alone enough on its own. Plus that final line is one of the best deliveries I've ever heard. It makes watching the entire season worth it.

Make sure you drop the pivotal brand name from the title, and then paywall 4K behind the highest tier. I am very smart.

Really enjoyed the first two eps of Silo as someone who didn't even know the books existed. It's major Expanse S1 vibes following a murder mystery that I take it similarly just goes off the rails into a much bigger thing.
