Ep 6 just got me hook, line, sinker. Holy sh*. While not terribly important to the storylines, the dance/party scene, although brief, was fantastic. 

 

The last two episodes of Welcome To Derry were freaking fantastic.

I was a little hesitant after the first 2-3 episodes but it turned out fantastic and I'm very excited to see where they go from here (I believe I saw they have 3 seasons planned).

I believe they are going to cover 2 previous "cycles" to get back to the origin of how It formed/was created/whatever.

Brockmire S4 took a hard left turn. Jesus. About halfway through, and if not for the first 3 seasons, I actually would like it, but man, it's a whole different animal. Still time to reclaim the original spirit of the series, but that's a tough ask. Right now I'm feeling, "Gotta finish it, I've come this far." Not a good sign, in my book.

The new Ricky Gervais special on Netflix, Mortality, is great. It is not gut-busting, but it is very funny. Once again, he sees the line, and confidently walks right over it.

It sounded more dramatic when he did it confidentially. 🤫😁

Stupid auto-correct. 

I will say the new Chappelle show is okay, not as good as his last one, but worth watching.

A lot of recent comedy specials have been just ok. Burr, Santino, Segura, Bergatze, I know there are a few others I'm forgetting.

I agree…Segura/OK, Bargatze/OK, etc

The first half of the new Chappelle is hilarious cause he’s the GOAT. There’s some younger comedians killing it.

I'm Chevy Chase And You're Not:
Show on Chevy's life.

Rather blunt, the good and the bad. I think he is an a-hole, he obviously has heard about why his behavior gave him his reputation, BUT, it seems he's unaware WHY he has the reputation he has. Whether that's intentional or not, only he can answer that, this show doesn't really prove one way or another. There are good arguments for both sides, however IMO, he's just an aloof jack-arse. He let his ego get to him. 

That doesn't take away the appreciation I have for his roles, his acting, etc, but as a person? Meh. I won't say he can rot, because I don't think he's evil or anything, he's just an arrogant prick.

Chase played a completely narcissistic prick on an episode of Law & Order many years ago. I remember reading something to indicate he didn’t need to act for the episode.

I guess this would fall under this thread:

Netflix added EVERY Wrestlemania to their site. While I haven't followed wrestling in more than 20 years, it is fun going back and re-watching these when I was a fan.

Last Samurai Standing:
In 1878, 292 samurai gather for a battle royale lured by a 100 thousand yen prize. Wooden tags are given; the last survivor reaching Tokyo wins. Shujiro Saga participates to save his sick family. A dangerous game of survival unfolds.

6 eps, I've watched 3. I think it is very good, and although it's based on a 2022 novel, it borrows heavily from Battle Royale/Hunger Games and Squid Game. I think the most interest parts of the show so far are the characters' backstories, which are slowly revealed in flashback form, and vary greatly. 

It also does insert some real people/events in Japanese history, and obviously traditions in their culture, even though the story itself is fiction. Rumor is that another season will be on its way.

There's gonna be another season. The writers/creators wrote this so there is a cliffhanger, a poison pill, if you will, and I will say, there's enough meat to the story to grant them one more season. After that? We'll see. Really enjoying it so far.

It's in the private eyes section.  All the talk you can handle and probably a lot you cannot.

Last nights SNL skit with new Harry Potter show called Heated Wizardry.  🤣 I’m lmao at all of it. My poor clueless husband was very confused.  I then had to spend the next 5 minutes explaining and answering his questions.  

 


Dorothy: Who’s that?
Scarecrow: A man with an axe and a can of lube. I’ll ask if he wants to join us.

Just started "Penguin" on HBOMax, 2 eps in....

It's dark, twisted, very much Nolan-style Batman Universe, IMO, heavy on organized crime tropes. I like it, so far. We'll see how it goes...

This is a banger of a season. Digging around, and don't know if there will be a season two. Still kicking the tires, I guess. While S1 left it wide open for an S2, no cliffhangers were around. Could easily end on the last episode which is a DOOZIE.

Have 3 episodes left to watch yet in season 2 of land man. Love it but season one is hard to beat. Still addicted though.😁

I'm watching via Stan which is based out of Australia. I don't know for sure the best way to watch in the U.S.

Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter

Friggin' hilarious, as usual. Main topics are religion and the LGBTQ+ but also some other stuff. Knee-slappers, guffaws, and belly-laughs are all included.

Bruce Bruce: I Ain't Playing

CLASSIC comic, been around forever. Weaves and bobs through stories; as he says, he doesn't tell jokes. He tells stories, and makes them funny. Definitely recommend anything he does, or has done. 

I will say, if you don't find movies like Barbershop, or Boomerang, or Friday, funny, in essence, knowledge of Black culture, in general, you may or may not appreciate his stories 100%. There are many nuances in there.

The Five Families
Explore five powerful New York Mafia families, who ran organized crime in America.

3 part series, about 90 min/episode.

Kind of old hat for me, more of a refresher course, but for those that don't know the history, it's well done, really explains with rather good detail about the history. Note: they bring in historians and such, blah blah, but if you REALLY want to know minute details, Selwyn Raab is in this, and he wrote a lengthy tome called "Five Families" and THAT, IMO, is the essential book to read.

Blows me away that the Dan Serafini Bar Rescue episode is still in syndication. Pretty wild to hear about him redeeming himself for an hour knowing that he’s now in prison for murder.

Hulk Hogan: Real American

4 part series on Netflix, and have gotten through the first 2 eps. It was the last time he was on camera, due to his death, made just a year or two ago. It also is warts and all. So far, the show has done a really good job of it, many former wrestlers adding commentary along the way. 

FTR, I never was a "Hulkamaniac," never was a fan. I rooted for the heel (bad guy) most of the time. Funny enough, (spoiler alert) Hulk started his career as a bad guy, and turned "face" (good guy) against a name we all know: Jesse Ventura, right here in MN's AWA pro wrestling organization.

Finished the series tonight. It continued to be blunt and honest, by both Hulk and the director/producers. They all just laid it out. And, not knowing the exact timeline of the filming and such, they did note that 3 months after the final session of questions, that's when Hulk passed away. They WERE planning on a little more filming.

Binged it last night.  The only thing that doesn't make this doc complete is the absence of his daughter completely.  I mean FFS the lady who took you for 70% of your money was in this doc.  Like she has said in interviews this doc almost makes it seem like she didn't exist.  I did enjoy it very much.

I guess Brooke came out and said she didn't want to be in the turmoil (kinda like the one daughter in the Ozzy reality show). So it wasn't like they WANTED to exclude her. She wanted no part of it. There are quotes/interviews out there about it.

I might be in the minority but I thoroughly enjoyed S5 of The Bear. I was hooked from E1 and never jumped off. #4 and 7 particularly stood out. It felt like a season of Chef's Table turned into a drams. Best season since S1.

Started watching S3 of America's Sweethearts (about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders). Still impressed at the exactness of the training, and how high-level the routines are. The series stays away from any drama*, it focuses on the journey of the young women going through the process of making the team. 

It's nothing mind-blowing, per say, but better than most "reality" shows out there.

*I'm sure the Cowboys have final approval on what airs, so if there IS any negative drama, it's probably cut. There are some heart-breaking moments, as in when someone gets cut from training camp, etc, and I admit, it's rather raw. They don't soften it up at all.
