So glad this show got renewed. It seemed like one of those things that was too weird and wonderful to continue, I'm glad other people have been enjoying it as much as me.

i got into "the last man on earth" just in time to catch what were the last few episodes of the series and I was bummed, but I realized a show that weird lasting as long as it did on fox was a minor miracle anyway.

I will love and appreciate every episode we get of this, though FX doesn't seem as quick with the stake to the heart as most normal networks

Was that show any good? I caught episode 2 or 3 or so when visiting family and there were two men already, so I figured any show that abandon's its premise that early was creatively bankrupt and never thought about it again until just now.

without spoiling much, forte's character is an awful human and is grating by design. I actually walked away after the first season but gave it a shot later on hulu and grew to love it. The show's world grows quite a bit. It isnt all phil in a margarita pool in LA for 4 seasons or whatever and just doing the same jokes

Kayvan Novak who plays Nandor was in Four Lions which is a great film, definitely worth checking out.

Four Lions has been in my Netflix queue since I signed up years ago. I really should get around to watching that.

For the other recommendations, any of that streaming? I want to say I've seen the it crowd show up in some of my suggested stuff, though I cant say I've heard of the toast of London, but that clip was awesome.

i called that joke when he talked about 1992 and I'm kind of floored I did.

Also, I started watching AP Bio over the weekend and I really appreciated Collin Robinson popping up in "teacher jail" as a "teacher tickler" because he likes laughter and doesn't know any jokes in addition to "dating" one of the cpr dummies. His actor is fantastic at these types of roles.

And because I had never heard of a "mechanical turk," so I looked it up:

wikipedia posted:

The Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master hiding inside to operate the machine. With a skilled operator, the Turk won most of the games played during its demonstrations around Europe and the Americas for nearly 84 years, playing and defeating many challengers including statesmen such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. The device was later purchased in 1804 and exhibited by Johann Nepomuk Mälzel. The chess masters who secretly operated it included Johann Allgaier, Boncourt, Aaron Alexandre, William Lewis, Jacques Mouret, and William Schlumberger, but the operators within the mechanism during Kempelen's original tour remain a mystery.

I appreciate that it didn't turn out he was horny for the girls at all, that would have been way too obvious.

I wonder how many people didn't recognize who Jim was. I'm not sure I would have if I hadn't known ahead of time

I rewatched the episode with my wife,who was seeing it for the first time. When Jim the Vampire lowered his cowl, I asked if she recognized him. She said, a "oh! It's Rob Lowe!"

We're big Parks and Rec fans and watched the recent reunion special, so she definitely knows who Rob Lowe is. I'm sure Hammill would be delighted to think someone mistook him for Rob Lowe in 2020, but goon face blindness is real, and may be contagious.

yeah, it doesn't appear he can be damaged but he appears to be in pain when he's run over. his physiology has obviously changed (unless he was born a fully-formed, bald middle aged man) since he was born. if they don't explain what exactly an energy vampire is or came to be i won't be all that bothered, because i don't know if there's an explanation that could stick.

Also, there's a NYCC WWDITS panel up from recently. The host asked Matt why Laz was being so friendly with Colin Robinson and if it was real. Matt said that basically "it's the whole cruz of everything and if I told you I'd never work again" which got a pretty good laugh from the audience, thinking he was joking.
