Haven't started the new season yet, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the first 2. Looking forward to it.
Finale of Alien: Earth was pretty damn good. Some minor twists I didn't exactly expect, and a couple nice character payoffs, including a surprisingly satisfying emotional reaction from the main villain of the series. Excellent from start to finish.
Finished Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Far better than the original. Basically a Call of Duty TV show. Keep the spin-off, ditch the original.
You heard a gunshot in the first one in the scene with Kitsch. You didn’t see what it hit, am I right? I always play by the trope of when they don’t die on screen, they don’t die.
Yeah, especially when the spinoff show is a hit. I put this show in the same category as Reacher. It's a fun show for grown-up's, particularly men. I want to see Special Ops guys do spy shit and autistic bodybuilders beat up goons or whatever that shows about.
That’s why I loved Banshee so much. It never once demanded that you think hard while watching it, it simply delivered the goods needed to entertain.
I’ve seen the trailers and I want to see it— trying to figure out his plots, or point to his comedy, is trying a needle in a stack of needles. Essentially, the closest he has to a “shtick” is to take a very, VERY relatable situation, have somebody turn it awkward, and then that same person simply refuses to take the easy way out until in finally crashes in a heap. There is no “point to be made”, no douchey “message”. It’s just comedy. I mean, this shit is put together like a processed algorithm, it’s BEAUTIFUL:
I've watched enough of his work that I've decided that either his comedy is more than my pea brain can understand or he's not funny
It defines “not for everyone’s taste”. Usually I don’t like awkward/“cringe comedy”— for instance that movie I Love You, Man— I absolutely fucking HATED that film, and that sort of tone in general. Simply being awkward is not funny. I think Robinson rises above that, and his simple gimmick is basically that scene in Austin Powers when the camera refuses to cut away after the villains start laughing.
Thats a good way to put it. He basically realizes all the embarrassing scenarios people play out in their heads. The entire show is a guy hilariously torpedoing his personal and professional life because he was embarrassed while giving a presentation.
Just finished The Chair Company finale. I knew it was going to be weird going in, but that was one of the funniest but also most unsettling shows I've seen in a long time. The last few episodes are a real descent into madness. David Lynch would be proud.
That's my take, too. Jungle Julia liked it, but she always complained that it gave her anxiety. I hope it gets approved for another season, because it left us with some huge cliffhangers.
It got renewed for season 2. Which is good, I need to know more about the guy at the end. What the fuck man.
I really enjoyed the new season of Beavis and Butt-Head that wrapped up this past Wednesday. I'll take it over the current eras of South Park, Family Guy, and The Simpsons. Mike Judge seems to know how to stick to what works (I liked the new King of the Hill episodes, too). The weird thing though is that the new Beavis and Butt-Head season is not on Paramount+. It has only aired on Comedy Central so far, at least as far as I know. I didn't even know that there was a new season until I saw a commercial for it when I watched this season's premiere of South Park. And the show has been renewed for at least one more season!
