Anyone still watching The Sympathizer

i couldn't get through the first episode, something about it just felt off.

I was wary of Baby Reindeer but finally decided to watch (partly incentivized by the fact that the series is much shorter than I’d originally thought). Anyway, should have trusted my initial instincts. I find this show deeply unpleasant.

I've just started it too.

the Nordic Murders has been one of the bbc4 things on Saturday night, two series broadcast so far with some major cast turnover between them. enjoyed it though.

(imdb has it as 1 season spanning 7 years - it was one episode a year at the start)

agree re: the Beach Boys doc. There's some cool footage in there but it's very superficial; suppose that's what you get when it's shorter than 2 hours.

yeah i was bored silly by it, i ended up watching Love & Mercy on prime instead

i want the Beach Boys doc series thats 9 hours of Pet Sounds session footage like Get Back. Where’s THAT doc

OTMFM

i'd like to see non-edited raw footage of that beach gathering at the end, i wonder how awkward and weird it was

History of rock in 500 songs (my new hero) posted a review of The Beach Boys doc. Not very complimentary. Seems to much prefer Endless Harmony.

man, you guys really want me to listen to that 500 songs podcast. how much are they paying the ILX street team?

i've never listened to a podcast. unless marc maron on youtube counts. i guess that counts.

You can burn them to discs and think of them as spoken word albums

I sped-read the transcript of the "Dark Star" episode, ain't got time to listen to no four hour podcast.

I'm watching A Man in Full now. It's only six episodes and I've watched 4.5 of them so far.

Daniels lays it on thick, which is distracting. But I'm finding the sum to be just barely better than all the parts, so I'm going with it.

When you get to the very last episode you may find yourself thinking, as I did, "Wow, he [David E. Kelley] really made this whole thing just so he could do that, didn't he?"

Haha, ok stand by. Will report back later tonight or tomorrow.

Yoooooooooo more Lady Parts!

Oh now THAT is great

When you get to the very last episode you may find yourself thinking, as I did, "Wow, he [David E. Kelley] really made this whole thing just so he could do _that_, didn't he?"

for anyone else who scrolled for weeks on the 500 Songs site and then found his own site has had all content taken down, this is probably this public post on his patreon

Season 2 of Pachinko coming in August!

ok I am sold on Evil, what a batshit crazy show, the silent monastery episode really sold me

S3 Finale of Hacks brings it. Can't wait for S4.

did anyone watch Palm Royale? I'm about half-way through it. I like it, though it isn't 'funny' and 10 episodes seems long; the production and costume design is amazing. Mostly impressed with how good an actor Ricky Martin is.

I keep confusing it with Acapulco

when i put on Paramount+ i can't help but think: who would be bored enough to watch A Gentleman in Moscow? and then i kinda feel bad for Ewan McGregor. but who knows? maybe its great. i will never know...

The movie Godzilla Minus One, which got pretty good reviews, is on Netflix now. Might check that out this weekend.

It’s terrific

yes highly recommend!

we watched Palm Royale. It sort of finds its groove, and owns it's absurdness and gets more absurd in excellent ways. Not a great show but an enjoyable enough one and occasionally Wiig does a bit of physical comedy and you're like "oh yeah, there she is!"

Godzilla -1 was good shit, another recommend.

Yeah, we just finished watching it and I was really impressed. Have no idea what the title's supposed to mean, but it was awesome.

Only 1 episode into new Lady Parts but I'm cautiously thinking it might be the best show ever, Second Wife can get bent though.

i just started LadyParts too, it’s so fun!!

Have no idea what the title's supposed to mean, but it was awesome.

it's set chronologically before Godzilla One

pretend those were hide tags

I like that we all watched the same film and the same comedy about a punk band this weekend.

We watched Godzilla last night so I guess I know what tv show to watch tonight. Monoculture is back

OMG, you guys have to watch Down the Rabbit Hole on Netflix! My new favorite movie. I kinda never wanted it to end. Don't even watch a trailer. It's better to be surprised. You'll thank me in the end.

This was very whimsical, I would have preferred it to be harder hitting. My dad's a murderous drug dealer? Major existential & moral crisis! Instead of oh well nbd. The kid didn't even seem remotely bothered about not being allowed to play with other children. No comeuppance for the bad guy (I love a good comeuppance for the bad guy).

it was kinda like a fairy tale with these intrusions of reality. overall it seemed unique to me though. i liked the pace. and the kid was great.

for those interested, tag this to your radar this week

FX’s “Clipped” series is airing on Hulu on June 4 … the dramatized version of the Donald Sterling NBA Los Angeles Clippers meltdown starring Lawrence Fishburne as Doc Rivers (!) & Ed O’Neill as Sterling

I’m so in the bag for this one you guys. full disclosure: I went down a huge rabbit hole on this & listened to the 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affair which was a major source of inspiration for the show. Also Grantland’s Rembert Browne was also one of the writers & that makes me kinda hopeful that this will be legit good.

oops: first two eps of Clipped are up today!

Started up The Sympathizer. Very cinematic, final days of the Vietnam War spy stuff. Robert Downey Jr. is in some rather off-putting makeup, but otherwise this seems promising.

Anyone watch Ren Faire, the new doc on HBO? I was attracted by the trailer and the premise—a “game of thrones” like competition to see who will take over a massive Renaissance Fair in Texas. It just sounded goofy. But the first episode (of three) was mostly just kinda tedious.

It's also competition show!?!? I thought it was just gonna be a deep-dive on all the notorious backstage shenanigans at Texas Renfest (which, among other things, inspired a terrific King of The Hill episode).

No it’s not a competition show. It’s about a few different characters who are vying to take over the Renfest because the guy who owns it is in his 80s and wants to move on.

Finished Lady Parts 2 and I straight up LOVE it. There's also a delightful Bear reference.

Stoked for Martha Wells’ Murderbot series, coming to Apple TV probably 2025, and optimistic the diverse IMDB cast will do it justice. Looking forward to seeing Murderbot, Mensah, and Ratthi brought to life, plus later characters like ART. Curious how the writers and Skarsgard will transfer the book character’s internal monologues. First person narration? Deadpool fourth wall breaks? Subtitles?

this reminds me that i need to read the murderbot books. i finally bought them all last year. every time i went to a store one would be missing and i wanted to catch them all.

i finally finished How To Have Sex on Mubi. that movie was sad. the direction was good. Molly Manning Walker. do not know her.

watched Gasoline Rainbow on Mubi and it was like the opposite experience as far as coming of age movies go. and it almost gives me hope for american movies! very heartwarming but in an honest way. documentary-style. i have to admit it was refreshing that it didn't go dark. it stayed in the light. watch it with your kids! way better than Nomadland too. a thousand times better.
