The theme song for "The Terminal List" immediately reminded me of some other TV series theme song that I thought "oh, that sounds like...." and then froze.

Any thoughts? Feels like it would have been a series from the last 10 years and I'm likely to kick myself when someone tells me.

The Netflix Daredevil show has a similar opening riff.

Definitely has lyrics so neither but I hadn't started Doom Patrol and that's an intriguing intro! I think the key things evoking this are the relatively muted vocals and perhaps piano as a key instrument.

Edit: I *think* I've found it - Mars intro theme. It doesn't quite feel like the slam dunk I was thinking but it's evocative. Still could be another moderately recent TV intro song out there that is more right but this is could be the one I'm thinking of.

I remember an old animation I saw some decades ago. It was, I think, a segment of a larger film or perhaps a short of some kind, that told the legend of a monster that I think was native american or aboriginal in origin, but I'll be damned if I remember the details. I think the story was being told to some children, and there were accompanying animated drawings on a cave wall. Might have been the wendigo, but maybe I'm confusing that with some other non-english monster name. I remember it being quite creepy as a child.

You don't mean the one about a Bunyip that scarred the poo poo out of me as a kid, do you?

Lots of shots of a dark, wet cave wall and weird semi-abstract monster drawings?

I googled it ages ago and it's nominally called Dot and the Kangaroo (1977), but I was young enough that anything besides the spooky feeling didn't get fully logged in my memory and I couldn't corroborate it with extra details.

Yeah thats definitely it - and I'm the exact same way, that's literally the only part of the movie that I remember. But seeing that scene where the kangaroo is describing the bunyip to her definitely brings back memories

Teacher says something like, "If you had just guessed randomly you'd still have gotten 50% right, the only way to get a 0 is to know all the answers and choose not to answer correctly" and then changes the 0 to 100.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!
This is something I've seen within the last few years, and I can remember the weird emotional impact very clearly but very little else. Person A (not sure if man or woman) calls Person B (mostly sure it was a woman) into the room and tells her to explain an incident in detail, that Person B had an active role in. I think the incident was adultery, but possibly some other type of betrayal. Person B dutifully recites exactly how the incident went down. Person A is not satisfied, and tells her to do it again. She does. Person B seems to feel guilty or some other emotion that drives her to comply with Person A's demand without any resistance and keeps telling them exactly what happened.

This is driving me insane.

Animation piece with a short little man in blue and white striped pajamas (possibly with a bushy mustache?) traveling up or down a long staircase with a candle. I think he’s mostly scaring himself as he imagines what might be in the shadows. Drawn in that sort of rough, scratchy but friendly style that screams 1970s (kind of like Muzzy, for reference).

In Community there's a professor whose teaching style is...eccentric. He tells everyone to seize the day by living life to the fullest which is at odds with his subject (accounting). Jeff, one of the main characters thinks this is the ultimate blowoff class and tells his study group they can probably flake through it

Professor asks one of the other main characters, Shirley, why she's at Greendale CC and it starts pleasantly enough. But then he gets more adversarial and demands to know why she's REALLY there. She's rattled but speaks honestly and admits she wasted her life on her ex (he cheated but it's not stated in that moment)

The First Rites of Men Were Mortuary, the First Altars Tombs.



The year is 1994. The Northridge quake has just happened. My mom and several others were injured and had to be taken to the hospital, and both my and my neighbors houses were heavily damaged.

After making sure all the kids were alright, the adults sat us in front of a TV so they could begim cleaning up all the shattered glass from the sliding doors and other items that were flung from the walls, not to mention the blood. They just flipped on the TV and left to start helping get people to the hospital without checking what was on.

It was a horrific gritty thriller of a movie with a lot of "real" feelingviolence, of the gang or cartel variety. Could even have been a civil war maybe? I don't know where it took place, but the American southwest, Mexico, Columbia, could be any of these regions. I was 8, the specifics are unfortunately sparse. Anyway, the movies ancillary cast has a family that is two parents and a handful of kids, mainly a young teen daughter maybe about 14, and then three younger siblings.

The family was in perfect health for most of the movie that we see, but violence erupts in their neighborhood/house is a wreck, I remember smoldering and smoke. But the horrific part was some other main character returns to the home in ruin and the 14 year old daughter enters onscreen almost stumbling. She's bawling , and her cheeks have been sliced open with a knife starting from the edges of her mouth and continuing upwards at an angle. I think there was an implication of violent assault as well.

At this point I'm well beyond crying and beginning to lose my poo poo with a few others.

Anyway, near 30 years later and I'm wondering what this film could have been?

This morning I watched Alligator (1980), and there is a scene near the end where the main character is trying to climb out of a sewer before a bomb goes off, but a car is stopped on the street above with a tire directly on the manhole cover so he can’t escape.

I know I saw almost the exact same scenario in another film recently but I can’t remember what it was. Might not have been a bomb, perhaps they were being chased and shot at? Something like that. Definitely unable to get out because of a car parked on top of the manhole cover though.

There's a scene with all those elements at the end of CHUD, although I don't remember if the car is specifically parked over the manhole cover to prevent escape.

??? searching for that gives me a music album and a documentary about a trans fugitive...?

other details:

there's a Dewey Crowe-type minor antagonist who threatens to shoot the main character early on but the main character contemptuously talks his way out of it, then midway through makes good on the threat but is immediately run over in return, then gets toted around with the protagonists in full casts and crutches all the way to the finale shootout

there's a memorable scene where the idiot cousin, who had been strictly instructed not to spend any of the drug money, shows up in brand new extremely flashy cowboy boots and the main character angrily throws them off of a bridge

the good-ol-boy gangster (local politician maybe?) is introduced with a skeet-shooting scene where he kills the pizza delivery driver/drug courier who had the money stolen, telling him to run away in a zig-zag

the gay best friend character is a mechanic and his pristine classic car is the protagonist group's ride for the leadup to the climax; much hay is made of the minor antagonist struggling in and out of the backseat with his casts and crutches
