I always figured that would be the case with AT&T/WB needing more content, rolling out HBO Max, and Nolan/Joy saying they had a 5 or 6 season plan, if I’m remembering correctly. Some had openly wondered if it would survive with a 700k or there about audience watching live on Sundays, but more than likely it’s well over…

I’m going to hate myself for saying this, but at least it can replace anyone’s HBO subscription from before (cable, GO, or NOW), which mitigates the cost if you want the extra content.

You are not wrong... I love Top Secret! and Kilmer really showed his versatility in that movie and another childhood favorite “Real Genius”.

I’ve given many accolades to Rhea Seehorn—the secret weapon of this show—and sang Bob Odenkirk’s praises too. He has completely put comedic actor as a secondary characteristic, as he is a complete actor now in every way. They were both wonderful again in this episode, which relied so heavily on body language, longing…

Am I the only one who thinks Quibi is the worst idea ever??

I liked this episode overall, but I have to point out the inconsistencies in the action scenes. On the one hand the security personnel can’t hit the broad side of a barn even with advanced weaponry—like a 80's action TV show—yet the Hale fight in the elevator was top shelf, as was the riot robot sequences.

Don’t worry guys, I’ll say what we’re all thinking...

“Look mister we’re not interested in your tricks and trinkets.... (holds up named license plate key chain) This would make a cute gift for a man named Steve.”

Now that’s what I call “Sexual Healing”.

What We Do In The Shadows is back y’all!

As a huge Denis Villeneuve fan, a fan of the book, and the surreal OG Lynch movie, I’ve been hyped for this since it was announced.

I’m not sure which part was more heartbreaking, Kim worrying about Saul and the relief she felt after he called her, Kim seeing the coffee cup with the bullet hole, or Kim almost breaking down and giving Saul that look after Lalo left.

“...she was kind of surprised by the backlash that The Rise Of Skywalker received when it came out.”

Upon watching that scene again I think you’re right about Caleb’s hand. What made it look old was the caked on blood that showed every line and wrinkle with greater contrast. Yeah he was just freaked out in general. I think Caleb was just edited at one of Serac’s reeducation centers and was probably a pretty bad dude…

Those theories had to do with the fact that Serac until this episode had only appeared to other characters as an AR image through those VR glasses, or with Maeve, which some wondered and still wonder if that’s a simulation.

“Ride of the Valkyries” a song that has been a cinematic classic since Apocalypse Now is always welcome. Add an instrumental Bowie with “Space Oddity”, and Fischerspoon “Emerge”, and the thematic music was on point with an episode named “Genre”.

Not a hot take my man. While I’ve laid out my opinion on TLJ here before, and how I think it was great for 3/4 of it’s run time, until at the end of the throne room scene it starts to walk back every interesting point it had brought up, I would easily put it as the best movie of the new trilogy.

“...and long-time J.J. Abrams collaborator...”

It’s too bad the only thing I’d consider watching at this point is For All Mankind. Everything else has gotten middling to bad reviews, or doesn’t drive much of an interest to my already extensive backlog of shows.

Operation: Mindcrime is one of the best metal albums of all time.
