Oof, prolific character actor Craig "muMs" Grant has died. He was in a ton of stuff but most people will probably remember him as Poet on Oz.

IRQ posted:Rush Limbaugh got literally everything he wanted. IIRC he was anti-Trump at first, because he wanted Republican politicians to keep the quiet parts quiet and let him and others say the quiet parts out loud, as a way of deflecting blame off Republicans onto media people like him, so that the politicians could keep getting elected; and also because someone like Trump would eventually mobilize the Democratic base against him the way Limbaugh and others tried to motivate the Republicans against Bill Clinton and later Obama. Of course, like nearly everyone in conservative media during Trump's reign of error, he eventually came to kiss the ring, but I'm pretty sure he would've rather had a new version of GWB instead of Trump. And he died seeing the Republicans lose both the executive and legislative branches while the nutjobs he helped inspire have (finally) been getting labeled "domestic terrorists" and arrested by the bushel. So at least he died knowing that the carefully crafted conservative media machine he was such a huge part of was finally taken over by the people most likely to drive it straight into the ground, so there's some comfort in that.

I missed Oscar Isaac chat but he's still in the thread title so here's him playing a Cure cover with Gaby Moreno & Friends. It's one of my favorite songs so I've had it bookmarked for repeat listens for ages. I didn't notice that was him until I scrolled down and read the comments a few months ago. Very excited for Moon Knight, even if he doesn't sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abtRyaNI3uY

Yeah, I would definitely recommend the soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis where he actually sings a bunch of the songs.

The ILD soundtrack has been part of my usual rotation since the day I saw it in theaters. I love that movie so much and it’s the reason I’ll give pretty much any Oscar Isaac project a shot.

Superstore just had their finale and I thought they did a good job landing it. I had started binge watching it during the height of the pandemic but fell out of it when America Ferrera left . I'm a bit sad to see it go.

I'm sure there are big fans of the show that would say yes. I thought the writing started falling off hard around that time, as a lot of shows do in the later seasons. If I'm being honest, I skimmed through a lot of the episodes in season 5 and most in season 6. I watched the finale just to see how they wrapped things up, and it was nice.

Alright, I think I’ve found my favorite example of “Columbo trolls his murder suspect” thus far. Season 3, episode “Double Exposure”; the suspect is out high-stakes golfing with friends and about to take a shot when Columbo comes barreling out of nowhere in a golf cart shouting “Mr. [Suspect]! Oh Mr. [Suspect]!” and then in their resulting conversation only drops his gotcha bombshells as the guy is about to take his shots. It’s another Robert Culp guest spot too, so it’s a great episode.

muscles like this! posted:I'm still enjoying Debris but I'm not sure if it will really find an audience. It is very deliberately paced without a lot of straight up action. I am fully down with Debris now. It's a 'small' sci fi show I think lots of people may have wanted: Each week a new piece of weird alien tech pops up and causes issues, but not as crazily as early-Fringe, and the team deals with it. There's wider plot hooks and double dealing going on in the background but so far that's not getting in the way of poisonous localized terraforming or whatever. The leads are charming, have good chemistry, and actually seem like nice people (I miss Limitless), outside of whatever double dealing the ongoing plot's about to drag them into. I like that they're actually applying the tech found in previous episodes to manage, and not even solve, the current problem. Did anyone follow Reverie? That's a show I watched the pilot of and figured I'd seen every episode ever so didn't need to continue.

Something about the latest Resident Alien felt weird, like the type of episode it was should've been more of a filler episode in the middle of the season. I still super enjoyed it as ever, and the Ancient Aliens guy being on it made me laugh, but I think that added to the 'filler episode' feel. Either way, sad there's only one left this season and excited already for s2.

I started watching Resident Alien last night and didn't realize it's literally a riff on Northern Exposure, down to having the same red pickup truck, being apparently filmed in the same town, and even having characters that are remarkably similar. It's great

The first three episodes of Invincible are out on Prime. I wasn't planning to watch it due to superhero fatigue amd general lack of interest, but a friend's recommendation prompted me to pop it on and I was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of refreshing to watch a totally straight superhero story that isn't chock full of cynicism or irony or satire and isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. It's kind of a greatest hits of the big DC and Marvel characters all mushed into a fairly simple and straightforward mold, executed well.

Enjoying it (the cast is so stacked!) but the dialogue is incredibly ropey. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given that Kirkman himself seems to be running the adaptation, though.

Due to my terrible memory for things that happen in shows, I can’t work out it all the wall flashback stuff is from last season or stuff that happened since. I think the latter? I’m glad it’s back, but oof bad timing with regards one of the voice actors.

I had similar concerns, but I'd recommend you finish the first episode. Can't confirm you'll change your mind, I'm still a bit touch and go. But I enjoyed the first episode holistically, and the second episode was quite strong.
