South Korea is making Netflix's bangers and Netflix killed (almost) daredevil, Luke cage and MST3k
Without south Korea Netflix is pretty weak to me

Wait what? Daredevil and mst3k were super popular and well received, Luke Cage not so much though.

Murderville on Netflix is a pretty funny improv/murder mystery-thing. Every episode has a guest star that hasn't read the script and they have to roll with the "investigation" and try to pick out the murderer at the end.

It gets better every episode, I'm loving it so far.

Oh hey a show based on a video game! Those always go well :rolleyes:


On a different note I finally got around to watching a few Yellowstone episodes and that show is complete rear end. I saw a guy on a horse lasso a dude around the neck driving a truck from an impossible angle, a guy run straight at a dude firing a gun from 30 feet away and not get shot and then beat up the guy with a gun with a branding iron. And Kevin Costner talking about horses and some other poo poo in his best Heisenberg voice.

It's pretty much boomer porn so I get why it's popular but wow.

I didn't see a thread for it but the new Netflix show Murderville is very good (depending on your affinity for Will Arnett and improv). Basically, it's a half hour comedy where Will Arnett is a detective who is paired with a detective trainee guest star and they have to solve a murder. Everyone has a rough script except the guest star so there's a lot of improv.

Guests like Conan O'Brien and Kumail Nanjiani do as good a job as you'd expect but if you just watch one episode, watch the Marshawn Lynch ep. You'd never expect a former football player to be as loving natural and funny on camera as Lynch is. He's also got more charisma than George Clooney and Obama put together.

It's a good time.

Marshawn is a goddamn national treasure

My main thought about Peacemaker is we seem to be due for a cultural re-evaluation of hair metal and its place in music history. Much like the slow rehabilitation of disco.

It had it's time, let it stay retired I say.

The King's Man was just kinda meh. Pretty run of the mill spy/action stuff, I love the franchise but this is probably the weakest one so far.

When they say copyright hell, they mean it. Nobody knows who currently has the rights to the series. Like 5 companies claim they do, but none can provide definitive contracts that said that rights were included in the associated sales.

M. Night was going to do a reboot 10 years ago but the production company walked away from half a mil in preproduction when they saw what the lawyers fees would be to untangle it.

Wasn't it a comic book to start out with? If you can't figure poo poo out the ownership should revert to whoever owned the comic I say. But I'm no lawyer

Fresh on Hulu is a riot.

Don’t really have much to say about it except that it’s in the same vein as (the superior) Promising Young Woman. I.e., Fresh takes the premise “dating!” and the thesis “men are trash” (in the most played out, rosé-all-day Twitter sense), and then somehow it has its own voice and not a grating one.

My girlfriend had some minor visceral reactions to the body horror elements, but not nearly as strongly as she did to Possessor which she couldn’t finish. So to some degree I think it succeeded in making those kinds of horror / thriller elements more accessible for a wider audience, which is an achievement. A less charitable take could be that it was watered down, though I never felt that way.

Won’t be recommending it to my mom though, lol.

I've been kind of on the fence about watching Fresh but if you're comparing it to Possessor then I'll definitely give it a watch.

I liked Fresh but it's not nearly as good as Possessor and also has almost nothing in common with it. I don't think that's what the person you quoted was saying. They both just happen to have some body horror in them.

Either way it's worth watching for free.

Yeah that was before I had coffee, totally misread it. Still gonna give Fresh a watch though.

Trey Stone and Matt Parker talked about that in a interview after they made the South Park movie and whenever the MPAA said they had to cut or reshoot a scene because of violence or whatever they made it way more crazy and eventually it would get approved

This is pretty accurate. Everyone involved is kinda miserable but it's oddly funny and likeable and weird. Like I legit have a hard time explaining it to people that haven't seen it.

I feel like Kim's chance of survival is pretty much 50/50 at this point. If she does actually die I feel like that makes Saul from breaking bad a much shittier dude though, because it would mean he just continued on with his worst impulses despite the worst case scenario happening. I'm leaning towards him just going too far and losing her.

I hope you're right because she's such a good character. But she never showed up in breaking bad so I don't have a good feeling about it.

That movie was the first time I felt uncomfortable sitting in the theater reclining seats after the 2 hour mark. It definitely feels more like a "watch on your own time and possibly installments" movie.
