Has anyone seen Trigger Point (starring Vicky McClure from Line of Duty)? I've only seen the pilot but I'm in.

And if you have three hours to spare, go watch RRR on Netflix (Bollywood action adventure). Just fantastic filmmaking!

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's here. But I sincerely hope most of you guys don't have children. Because you're soft.
I apologize for the things I have said in the past. :cry:

"The Old Man" starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow so far is awesome and certainly not what I expected. 2 episodes in right now.

well, i've certainly heard about him as a front man. dunno if that's related to his singing, his performing or both

I got started on season 3 of The Boys, and it's as bonkers and disgusting as ever. In the first episode alone,
Spoiler:
a supe who can make himself small (like Ant-Man) enters his gay lover's dick to pleasure him from inside, but accidentally sneezes and shoots back up to normal size, making his lover's body burst. :lol:


I just finished episode 2, and I can't wait to see more of Homelander. Antony Starr is simply giving a brilliant performance for this deranged superhero, his micro-expressions perfectly capture every insanity that goes on in Homelander's head.

Best show on TV or right there with Ozark for me. I love the more adult take on super heros.

I appreciate that they don't take multiple episodes to build plot lines and there is a more steady flow of **** actually happening haha. I feel like too many shows try to emulate breaking bad / better call saul / Vince Gilligan but aren't able to pull it off. The Boys isn't trying to copy anything it is it's own unique creation.

I have watched through episode 6 and man are you in for a treat I thought the whole season has been excellent. I also like how they release 1 episode a week because I have no self control and will binge a season if you let me.

Bob Weir was a hell of front man and Jerry could sign too. Especially if you are talking about live performance, feel and emotion and not just voice.

Also David Lee Roth.... Diamond Dave! Van Halen was much better with DLR than Hagar.

I just finished the Herogasm episode...man. That was one of the wildest episodes of TV I've ever watched, and the fight scene was fantastic. Felt like a finale episode. I'm wondering how the remaining episodes will top this one.

Don't know if anyone is watching Ms. Marvel on Disney+ but this was the best episode so far. I have enjoyed this series so far for the most part but this latest episode is the one that has made me fall in love with the show. The immersion of culture, heritage, and tradition, intermingled with this lesson about the tragedy and traumatic, violent history of Partition has been brilliant. All while keeping the story grounded in a multi-generational family drama about loss and discovery. This is some of the best work I've seen in these Disney+ series.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Yes!!! RRR was one of best movies I’ve seen in a long time. There are some scenes (like the dance off) that won’t appeal to everybody but it one of the best Bro movies ever.

I also like the director’s other movies Baahubali parts 1 and 2.

i'm neither a dead fan nor a van halen fan, but roth was obviously a great frontman. the 'jump' video encapsulates the joy of rock and roll
