Think I might finally get around to filling in the MCU gaps before Thanos unleashes hell this summer.

Trying to get excited about JCVJ, but just can't seem to conjure up enough strength to make it out of the pilot.

Waiting for MITHC-3 to drop, God only knows when. 

Rewatching Future Man with the wife.  She doesn't know it yet, but if I keep the volume at 11 after bedtime, I figure she won't have much of a choice.  That's how I got her hooked on Rick and Morty.  Guess that makes me something like a Hulu crack dealer.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Wife and I just binge watched End of the Fxxxing World. It is deliciously dark and nihilistic. If you enjoy eating at Arby's, you will like this show.

Just checked out the trailer for Marvelous Mrs. Maisel this morning after seeing it won a GG last night, and that one's going on the list.

I turned it off after 10 minutes.

But a friend said give it longer and it is worth it. So don't get discouraged early.

I have watched the whole thing. It's good. And I am obsessed with the clothes.
Have some patience, FFS.

Finished Fresh Meat in a little over a week.  British Uni comedy, thought it was fantastic.

I'll queue it up.  Haven't really gotten into Amazon's stuff for awhile.  Patiently awaiting season three of Man in the High Castle.  Looks like season four of Mozart in the Jungle is coming sooner.  Not even sure I'll watch it; the first season was great, last two just did nothing for me.

Still working on Transparent.

Mrs. 82 and I are in the early episodes of Season 3.

It is one of my favorite shows of this decade. The acting and writing are so good.

And wait ... holy crap ... did the Panthers really lose? I musta missed it!

Agreed.  Dark, funny, and so far really good.  5 episodes in.

Black Mirror.  Episode 3, Crocodile may have pushed the darkness.  Still really good though. 

I'm like a turtle, sometimes I get run over by a semi.

I enjoyed it as well. Some actual laugh out loud moments.
But I like to throw handfuls...

Was not a fan of Fresh Meat. If we're choosing between Jack Whitehall shows I much prefer Bad Education.

For other really good British comedies take a look at White Gold if you haven't seen it yet. Only one season so far but it was pretty good. Features some of the cast from The Inbetweeners if you've ever seen that.

No I haven't even heard of it actually.  Can you give me a quick lowdown and what service can you stream it from?

It's a History channel show, follows the downfall of the Templars back in france after the fall of Acre.

Just finished Mrs. Maisel the other day.  Jesus Christ, now I understand why 82 went atheist.



Seriously, very well done and entertaining.  Worth a look, especially if old Jewish people humor (OJPH)* works for you. Not at all preachy or "anti-men" as some have described (not here...some of my coworkers, etc. who probably haven't seen it themselves).


OJPH is like British comedy... you either get it or you don't.  And if you don't, don't try... you'll only frustrate yourself.

Finished watching S3 of Man in the High Castle for the second time.  Had to watch it again since I felt extremely underwhelmed the first time.  At least I picked up on a few things I missed the first time through, but I can easily say I was disappointed.

I get why writers and directors interweave contemporary issues from today's society into TV and movies to draw attention (and boost their Emmy/Oscar hopes), but good lord baby Moses, did we really need two separate story lines about what homosexual relationships faced under the Reich in the 60's? (hint: not a hell of a lot different from our universe where the Allies won).


At least the new season of South Park is showing promise.

Just finished Season 1 in prep for Season 2.   Really pleasantly surprised.  Absolutely hilarious.  Reminded me a lot of a Wes Anderson movie in dialogue pacing and some of the character humor and development.

As for the humor, totally agree.  My gf is a born and raised Long Island Jew and she was laughing way harder at some stuff than I was, definitely resonated strongly with her experiences.
