Latest season of Chef's Table is great. Love that show. I love any show that goes deep on mastery of the creative process.

What about the romantic entanglements of young people? More compelling watch imo than a movie dedicated to companions.

Has English Teacher on HULU been mentioned it? Man I love it. So funny. Different sort of humor but the rapid pace of one liners reminds me of Community.

I've heard it's good, it's on my list for sure.

Well, I have known several companions in all my years, and I believe the problem to be not with them, but with the young people of today.

Not sure how widely watched it was but I am burning through The Other Two and it is a big winner for me. Would say it's kin to shows like Hacks and Party Down. Even has Ken Marino. Highly recommend.

The girl talking about the ribbons is probably my favorite line read from the whole show.

Anyone seen joker 2? Reviews look pretty brutal.

One of my friends saw it, said it was bad (he really liked the first one)

Is there a reason everyone banded together to say that The Fall Guy is good? Instantly in the top 10 of my bad movies that people inexplicably like.

I'd be interested in that list.

Just finished watching the second season of the Rings of Power. I never thought I'd get to the 2nd season after how slow the first season was, but the second season really picked up, and the last couple of episodes especially where sensational.

Just had a thought that we don't have any die-hard movie fans here who'll rush to the defense of any movie on the basis of it having been made by professional movie-makers. Well, "be the change you want to see."

Love all these popcorn boi armchair filmmakers thinking THEY know what makes a good movie better than the people who make movies for their whole job.

Hopefully seeing Joker tomorrow. Always down for more divisive films. Thought the first was a noble effort but didn't entirely work for me.

The Fall Guy was good so that's why people have said it was good

Divisive films suck sh*t. You shouldn't have to bend yourself into a pretzel to explain why a movie was enjoyable. I want more films that the overwhelming majority of people can stand up and say, "Yo that was awesome" and when they fail it's because studios didn't do the obvious thing, which is pump more advertising into the message that "HEY COME WATCH THESE INCREDIBLY ENJOYABLE MOVIES".

I want sequels to "The Nice Guys" and "Confess, Fletch".

Wife just signed us up for AppleTv.

Suggestions?

I'm starting For All Mankind. Think I heard that was good.
