Shit! I didn't bring a knife.

My wife and I binged the entire first season of Stranger Things last night, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a love letter to the 80's and if you grew up during that time, it's absolutely amazing to watch and listen to.

It was a little too much for me. I still liked it, but the 80's pandering craze makes me roll my eyes.

Fixed that for you.

I find it kinda weird that the subscription channel known for Making a Murderer and The Keepers greenlights a parody in the same documentary style so soon.

It's so unnecessarily well done.

I really love the fourth season most.

I really liked the story line that kind of existed between the first and second seasons. Kenny Powers transition from Baseball player to rock
bottom and back again was pretty great. I agree that the fourth season was amazing, but it kind of felt like they weren't sure if they were getting renewed after season 2 and the story arcs weren't as tight.

That being said, the show as a whole is basically my favorite comedy/drama (I refuse to use the word "dramady"), so really any Eastbound is fine by me!

IIRC there was never intended to be a fourth season, it was supposed to all end with Kenny faking his death.

Eastbound and Down was the only show I've ever seen that actually got better the more it jumped the shark.

I think my favorite season was the one where Kenny and Stevie are in South America though. Can't remember if it was 2 or 3.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Kenny Powers loving off to Mexico to get his mojo back is the most Kenny Powers move. Or is faking his own death and dying his hair blonde?

He's up there as one of the great TV characters. Gamby + Russell are up there as one of the great TV duos of all time.

There's been a little back and forth about it in the horror thread. "Good as hell" tends to be most people's takeaway.

It might wind up being my favorite horror movie of the year, but I still have to see Mother! and a couple other big contenders.

Apparently Amazon Prime has had the original Invaders From Mars up for a while now, which is interesting because it hasn't been in print on DVD for a while (long enough that the DVD is now quite pricey.) It's not the best print, but it is at least the original short version instead of the ludicrously padded cut.

I really enjoy the 86 version too, and it was streaming a month or so back but now I can't find it.

That one at least is on Blu Ray (and in really good quality, too.) Watched it recently in honor of Hooper and was struck by just how gorgeous it is. Man loved his colors.

American Vandal is legit one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. Not only is it a pitch perfect satire of true crime shows but every single character is so drat funny and well written and feel real.

The annoying high school kid who lies about EVERYTHING, the teacher who tries way too hard to be cool, it hits all the marks so perfectly.

I have no idea how the dumbest mystery in the world is also so drat compelling.

Hi friends! I've binged through the entirety of Luther in 3 days. Can anyone recommend any other fun, non-US detective stuff. I see Broadchurch and River on Netflix.

PS: everyone watch Luther.

If you want to watch a bad detective show, like really bad, and don't mind subtitles get on Bad Guys because it goes places and has some pretty good fight choreography.

If you want a great crime type show, Sneaky Pete on Amazon is utterly fantastic. Bryan Cranston and David Shore created (Graham Yost is also involved). Cranston is the villain and a great one, and Margo Martindale is terrific as a somewhat different spin on her type of character from Justified. Really, it's so good

I liked Sneaky Pete, but it took like 4 episodes for it to grab me. I think it was Giovanni Ribisi, something about his mannerisms or something was off putting to me, couldn't quite put my finger on it.
