That’s some great casting, wow.

The Underground Railroad is up on prime now. Ten episodes of Barry Motherfuckin Jenkins adapting Colson Motherfuckin Whitehead. Also there’s a thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3967392

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I thought he was married to some hot persian woman and now this. I'm not sure how much luckier one dude can get

I dunno who does casting for Mom, but I’m always impressed by the names they manage to get on that show. I’m not sure how many shows outside of law and order guest spots have had more recognizable people in. Most recent ‘wait, is that?’ is Melanie Lynskey, with Bob Odenkirk being a real surprise from a few weeks ago.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

Haha speaking of “names” I am rewatching the Nanny on HBO Max (watched portions as a kid with my mom) and I swear, every other guest star gets this massive audience pop and I just got “goddamn it” and head to IMBD because I never know them. I don’t know if it’s because of my age or my lack of theatre knowledge or both.

Lynskey was a main character on a previous Chuck Lorre sitcom, so it makes sense. Odenkirk is a surprise, though.

The action in Gangs of London is very good especially in the episode that aired this week (ep6.) Although one thing that kind of took me out of the episode was it looked like one of the attackers was wearing a Mass Effect hoodie. It probably wasn't actually but it had a similar color scheme.

It's pretty short, but that also means that the overall quality is higher, I liked it.

A little of both. It was definitely geared towards an older generation. Coolio pops up in a late season episode. That was probably as close to contemporary as it got.

The Nanny never was never deeper than background noise, but it absolutely falls off a cliff a few seasons in.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



There was a Russian version of The Nanny that just remade the American eps, and it was so popular over there, that once the ran out of scripts to remake, they brought in the American writers to write new scripts.

Also, the IMDB page (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0442726/) has almost a thousand photos from the series.

Man I loving hate how these first two new Love Death + Robots shorts look, and for completely different reasons.

The first is just grotesque, like an entire episode made of Spumco close-up interpretations of the old guy from Up. The second looks like it’s trying to do a Genndy Tartakovsky thing from the wide angles but all the close-ups are so hosed up and distorted that they look like someone used the wrong aspect ratio.

B Positive ended for the season yesterday with Middleditch being put under for his kidney transplant and if they have the guts to kill him off between seasons and change the show so it’s about Gina and Eli’s relationship, I will high five everyone responsible. I can’t even imagine his character testing well with audiences who don’t care about the actors bullshit.

I really like the look of the third one. It felt a little "video game cut scene" at first but it grew on me. I skipped to it to get some cyberpunk vibes, and it's not subtle or original, but it's solid.

e: Oh snap, 4 has great animation.

Clarice is moving to the Paramount streaming service instead of CBS. That's probably not a good sign right?

I got Sonnie's Edge too, but I just checked right now and my order has changed to the one with Three Robots first. That's using the same Netflix account. Now I wonder how often they shuffle it.

I have to say, I really don't like the argument that the order shouldn't matter because it's an anthology. An anthology is still an artistic work, and the order in which you watch the episodes is an important part of the experience. I mean, would you argue that the order of songs on a music album doesn't matter? Context is important!

Netflix is being a bit technical here, no? They absolutely have data on what they suspect our gender/ethnicity/sexuality is, and they're probably right. They just don't have the info directly.
