Mascots just up on Netflix. I'm not sure how many (more) times Guest can sustain the Guffman//Best in Show format, but this was worth some Friday night laughs. Good zingers and skewers early, the ending is lame.

13 Reasons Why
you won't be able to stop watching, seriously, one of very few series that I've not wanted to stop watching episodes.Quote:

I'm not near high school age, or understand the parenting thing at all, but all my friends are blowing up about this on Twitter, a lot saying it brought them to tears and what not, is it that good?Quote:

The Punisher is really good....but man, it is graphically violent.
Dark gets a lot of comparisons to Stranger Things....it has some similarities, buts it's much more mature and...well....dark than ST. It might be better too.
Sorry, you are failing to grasp relativity here. YES, you are. I am not close to high school age!Quote:

I have an Apple TV. I just double click on the middle button. It gives you a choice for language and subtitles. I think the default is English dubbing. You can switch to German and choose English under subtitles.Quote:

Chernobyl on HBO is an absolute must watch.
The scene where they were shooting all the pets was heartbreaking!Quote:

Really enjoyed El Camino... some thrilling moments!
Finally saw Fleabag on Amazon Prime. Holy shit. Hilarious. Must watch. The lead actress is absolutely hilarious. She also writes the show. She also wrote Killing Eve, which I haven't seen, but have heard is very good. For Fleabag, think Curb Your Enthusiasm mixed with the British version of The Office. Really easy to watch. Two seasons with 6 episodes. Each episode is 25 minutes. Easy to binge. Can't recommend enough. It's a women's show, but it transcends. Couldn't stop watching. Won best comedy, best actress and best writer last year at Emmy's. Will likely sweep again this year as second season is better than first. It's definitely quirky, but so worth a watch. Pretty confident saying most here will be hooked within first 10 minutes of the first episode.
With this pandemic and the crappy weather (in Ohio), I thought this thread deserved a bump. Let's share some knowledge while we are all sitting at home. If the weather doesn't get better soon, I fear I will have watched everything on Netflix and Prime. I have watched 3 seasons of hour long shows since Saturday. Narcos Mexico Season 2 (excellent), Locke & Key (very entertaining) and Hunters (enjoyed it too).
Think I'm going to try Devs on Hulu next.
Recommendations until Ozark comes out next week?
P.s. For anyone who thinks I should grab a book until the weather turns, I read all day at work...
P.s.s. For some unknown reason, I decided to torture myself and YouTube the NCAA tournament theme song and One Shining Moment. Do. Not. Recommend.
YouTube Xavier / WVA tourney game from 2008....I would recommend!Quote:

I watched the entire season on Saturday. I couldn't stop watching, it was fascinating. My favorite was the doc, who paraded around his zoo on top of his elephant, and had many girlfriends working for him.Quote:

Yes, definitely. As Caf stated in his post, it is about private zoo owners. The main character is a former presidential candidate, governor candidate, and a gay polygamist (who knew there was such a thing) who is crazy AF. I found it fascinating. I got sucked in Saturday morning, and watched the entire series by dinnertime.Quote:

Watch it. It's almost better if you have no idea. Even if we told you, you wouldn't believe most of it.Quote:

The Mob used the Teamsters pension fund as a bank. As a side note, a relative of my wife recently found out his Teamster pension has been cut in half. It's too long, but I'm retired and bored, so I liked it.Quote:

Two rwcommendations....
1.) For pure entertainment value, Cobra Kai...if you liked karate kid at all, you will love this series.
2.) If you would like to scre the shit out of yourself, watch the documentary, The Social Experiment. Basically, it explains how social media, along with google, manipulate our feelings and thought patterns. I have read quite a bit about the big four and social media and quite frankly for some of the good that it has done, I think society would be way better off without social media.
We watched "I'm Thinking of Ending Things", Charlie Kaufman's latest film, last night on Netflix. It probably shouldn't be watched by anyone under 60 years old. It is depressing and exhilarating at the same time, and is the usual Kaufman mind-bender.Quote:
