Last year I bought a tape deck at the thrift store and it was a great year.
I just started playing Mirror’s Edge, which is great.
In the Spring of 1315 there began an era of unpredictable weather.
This was featured recently on The Golden Horn and I was delighted to learn there that John Carpenter does the voice-over narration. MAXIMUM 80s
Yeah Archer is also breakneck and self-referential and just everything you want to make a show smart and snappy.
Have you seen The Corner? I think part of the rewatchability of The Wire is that each season has a different focus, the street, the docks, the kids, the paper. The Corner is the proto-Wire, the season about the dope fiends that never got made. It’s great but heartbreaking but great.
I must nominate Breaking Bad. You get laughs and you get drama, it shot beautifully in an expressionist style, the seasons change in tone as you go forward so you have a core cast but you’re not just watching one thing the whole time, it builds up to a great ending.

This is a great choice!!

As ever with rumors from…
I recently bought Car Wars and when I opened the box I had a very similar reaction.
We watched Crash (not the good one) in my Ed 101 course in 2013- as well as Waiting for Superman. Not my favorite class.
Sadly, this is the second time this year Fun Home has been on a book list (and singled out specifically) that has come under fire from conservative college students. Back in June, a student publicly bucked against her Fiction course curriculum, calling some of the assigned books like Persepolis, Fun Home and Y: The…
