I haven’t watched the new season yet, but I think this list is pretty good. I found “White Bear,” “Crocodile” and especially “Shut Up and Dance” more bleak than “Playtest” though. I personally also found “Metalhead” quite bleak and I want everyone working on those Boston Dynamics robodogs to be forced to watch it.

So instead of this why don’t you recap Silo since that’s actually good?

“But the big one: Ted not taking Rebecca’s offer to make him one of the highest paid coaches in the league (and hence, the world). That he didn’t even consider how to make that work because the idea of him going home had plot-armor? Not good enough.”

I am so glad Roy is head coach and not Nate.

Kind of wild that the final game was against West Ham and Nate, the recent manager of West Ham, gave no tactical insights.

I found it at the time to be a perfectly serviceable, if very stupid, big NYC disaster movie. It really was the marketing blitz that did it in, with the studio trying to hide the monster design as long as possible (The “Size DOES Matter” campaign, with lots of ads that pushed the scale rather than the creature itself; …

There’s definitely some bait on here:

It’s also kind of hard to make Achilles a sympathetic hero. He’s pretty much a straight-up asshole in The Iliad.

This just seems like a kind of random list of movies.  Nobody forgot Con Air.

Troy is a film I think about all the time, because it exemplifies what Hollywood does to a lot of great stories, which is having an excellent art department, brilliant casting (Eric Bana as Hector, Brian Cox as Agamemnon, Peter O’Toole as Priam etc.), but tries to shoehorn complex characters into blockbuster…

I get why most of the movies on this list are forgotten. But “Con Air” is one of those movies I personally find very rewatchable... I guess it’s a guilty pleasure, but it also seems pretty ubiquitous on streaming platforms and cable TV and seems to have become part of the pop culture zeitgeist.

I think Parks & Rec actually used it to great effect!

Here’s a thought: that scene was supposed to be confusing because Sally lives in a haze of alcoholic despair and PTSD. So writing and directing a scene where the audience is as disoriented and scared as Sally immerses us in the world of the show more fully and gives us more empathy for the characters of Sally and…

Someone needs to make a list of NoHo Hank’s malapropisms. Anthony Carrigan delivers them so confidently and nonchalantly that it would be easy to miss them (“place de resistance”).

Excellent directing by Hader in the home invasion scene. The abrupt reveal of the black-clad slender man behind Sally was a good horror movie surprise. I don’t know if every thing that followed was exactly real. Sally did hear the last words of the guy she killed. Likely over a real ripping out of her wall and a real…

I’m not even on board with complaining that the depiction of therapy is unrealistic. A realistic depiction of therapy would be dull and awful TV.

Love Christa, but Harrison Ford is the MVP of every episode; who knew he was such a great comedian?

Paul’s night in listening to Hall and Oates and eating a cheese board looks fucking amazing.

Mate wtf? This was by far the best episode of the show. C+ get the fuck out of here with your ittty bitty baby bullshit.

“it’s clear Shrinking has little interest in actually depicting how therapy—actual therapy—works.”
