Good parallel to certain streaming platforms removing those episodes from the rotation.

Part 2 of Season 2 of PEN15 dropped today, likely will watch it tonight.

Just watched both tonight and they delivered like always. That last Forrest Gump montage at the end of the season premiere had me with real tears in my eyes.

Yellowjackets is incredible. The pilot episode is up there with the best I can remember in recent history. I think I wish I had waited until the season was over so I could binge it all, but this seams like the kind of show that will be talked about everywhere as soon as everyone else catches on.

It's got action, humor, sadness, set pieces that are legitimately jaw dropping, great acting, an origin story, a big cameo, and a dog. Everything about it was incredible.

It’s was a fun episode. My take is that, while I’ve liked the show overall and it’s better than the other Disney+ offerings, it would still function better as a 2 hour movie.

My hesitancy with that take is they seem poised to introduce at least a few major new characters in this show and they all need some room to breathe and develop, especially since at least one of them will be getting their own show.

The last two episodes of Yellowstone have been rather boring. Clearly setting up for a big finale but man it's a snoozefest.

The last “Curb” felt like Larry was a veteran pitcher who had all his stuff working. Probably the best episode of the season. As disjointed as Curb can be, due to the nature of all the improv, this episode gives glimpses of where Larry has been taking things since the first episode of the season.

Agree. Felt last week was a return to form, and this week he was just dealing.

I'm two episodes behind. But I can confidently say I've seen enough of horses running straight forward then stopping and horses spinning in a circle.

15 minutes in, and Netflix casting Benedict Cumberbatch as a cowboy in the olde west seems like a terrible decision

Enjoyed Dexter again this week. It's been a good season.

It’d be like casting me to play a Nigerian king or something.

So bad.

It's impossible to watch Rocky IV without loudly singing and doing some very dated air-pumping or whatever that's called. Gonna watch Best of the Best next.

Legitimately one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

Artsy fartsy nonsense.

You watch the director's cut they did? If so, is it worth a watch if you've seen the original approximately 79 times?

I feel like this is either going to be awesome or cringe worthy bad with no in-between.

Yes! Sheridan loves to show that off.
