I watched the first episode of a Raelians documentary on Netflix and it was extremely bizarre. Just very poorly done with no really solid explanation as to what their belief system actually was and it comes across as very pro cult with the only interviews being with current, long time, members. Maybe subsequent episodes have more pushback against their claims but that first episode doesn't really make it seem like there will be.

Your biggest mistake is watching a Netflix documentary. I’m sure there’s still some OK ones produced, but there’s so much filler I just skip them all now.

I like Noel Fielding when he's well-utilized and generally find his shtick quite charming, but he can definitely cross over into obnoxious territory. I'm hoping he's somewhat reeled in here, because from the trailer it looks a bit like a one man show. I saw at least one joke that's he's been telling since the Mighty Boosh days "We're new school"

Joe Manganiello's Dragonlance adaptation is dead due to the Hasbro sale. He says he even tried to just buy the franchise outright to continue the project but nothing doing.

Uggghhhhh that really makes me sad. D&D is having a renaissance due to the movie and Baldurs Gate 3, and I've been getting back in to it. I loved Dragonlance as a kid and while I knew it was a long shot it was hopeful he might right the wrongs of the God awful animated film

What's that? More Game of Thrones, this one is another prequel. Going further back in time to Aegon the Conqueror's invasion of Westeros.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G4QsXwZFNY Trailer for the follow up to Mutant Mayhem. Interesting to see that they ditched the 3d for more traditional animation albeit in the same style. Speaking of Paramount Plus, Halo is back and it has gone through a pretty big retooling between seasons.

Ted was surprisingly good. Shageletic posted:Trying to figure out why the UK one sucks so hard and gonna throw a stupid theory out there. The original Drunk History was based off a comedian noticing how earnest and passionate his friends got about history when they got hammered (i.e. Jake Johnson almost crying about Otis Redding dying) and decided to make a show about it including his friends. Mostly it's funny because alcohol breaks through Americans instinctive aversion towards historical knowledge and elitism into something odd and sweet. It's the difference between wanting knowledge to be communicated, and wanting to be the one to communicate that knowledge.

This season of Traitors rocks because two of the three traitors are playing awfully. Can just picture the producers behind the camera's going poo poo poo poo poo poo, how can we help these guys out so we can get to ~14 episodes.

PriorMarcus posted:Also there's persistent rumors that he's a sex pest of the Russel Brand variety so... Noooooooooooo! Please don’t take Richard Ayoade from me too. Seriously. I miss the old days of Big Fat Quiz Show and thinking Noel and Russell were just cheeky ragamuffins taking the piss out of the ruling establishment. Fairly obvious about Brand in retrospect but still… not Noel.

Anyone else watching Death and Other Details? I think I could forgive the cheap CGI backgrounds if Mandy Patinkin would stop this terrible and embarrassing British accent. Just talk like yourself already Saul Berenson

What is up with Paramount+, I subbed for the free month to check out this dumb Halo show, but the app never remembers my place if I stop mid-show, always starts from the beginning. Pretty annoying.

Pretty annoying. Had the same thing happen when I was watching s2ep2 and when I restarted it showed the Halsey scene again. I thought it was supposed to be deliberate that they were doing the exact same thing again.

The second episode ends with the Covenant on Reach and they've been advertising this season all around the fall of Reach so they have to eventually get to the fireworks factory.

I watched a compilation of 8 out of 10 cats do countdown on YouTube and it looked fun and then I watched an actual episode and it was like 70% unfunny banter and 30% gameshow. Is that typical?
