Just finished watching Freeway: Crack in the System. All about the actual dude, Rick Ross and how he was the major player in the LA crack game. G-R-E-A-T documentary. Got a bunch of other stuff on deck to check out. Chappelle's new joint airs New Year's Eve, too.

i need to check that rick ross one out.

not new but it's great.

Phenomenal documentary, one of the best I've ever seen really...until I started to think of the premise of it all

Dude starts out as a test subject, trying to replicate Lance Armstrong's doping regiment

Which seems all well and good as a premise for a documentary

He consults with Don Catlin...who proposes he consult Grigory instead...

...and the subsequent premise of the documentary hinges on believing that a researcher/documentarian focused on illegal doping in sport was completely unfamiliar with the Russian doping scandal

I call bullshit.

We're suppose to believe the film maker unintentionally found himself personally immersed in the Russian doping scandal

which made for a brilliant film

but, being a documentary, that bit felt like complete fiction

yes, the Lance story was HUGE

BUT, the Russian doping story dwarfed the Armstrong story, and was actually being investigated at the same time as the Lance findings were being made public

at present, you can even see how much of a bigger deal the Russian doping scandal was, as we barely hear anything about Lance anymore

Great doc, but on the premise of being a documentary, I call bullshit on the unintended Russian angle.

.

and our ties to them, etc. Let me know what you think.

even had a paranoid moment when I couldn't find it in my recently watched queue and thought

"they already pulled it because it was too real!!"

Definitely shed more light on the CIA connection in particular William J. Casey who was an associate of Prescott Bush and I believe a Skull and Bones member also.

The documentary "Dark Legacy" links him to JFK IINM

they were name droppin like shit in that joint. I had heard about the George HW Bush connection to JFK, before. How he was in Dallas that day, etc.

.

>.

Same.

Netflix + Hulu Live (w/HBO) + Amazon Prime is the move. Prime could be dropped though.. the movies suck.. the shows are decent, but I mainly have it for the free shipping. Kinda sore they cancelled Mozart in the Jungle.

Nonstop tv entertainment in my household.

slightly cheaper than cable, but way more viewing options and easier to navigate

I mean, I rock with it anyway because I order a lot of stuff, so the video is a throw-in. That Jack Ryan joint was pretty good, I binged that in one night. I recently watched Paid in Full (yeah, I know...but, I never gave it the time of day because I thought it was gonna be like some Master P, "I Got the Hook Up" type shit) I like that you can rent or buy movies digitally and keep them in your library. I may play around with it a little more, but Hulu and Netflix does the heavy lifting for most of my content.

I need recommendations because I’m almost done with shameless.

what about on the firestick too?

Yah it's in German and overdubbed so it's a little hard to get into, but the cinematography and storyline are good enough to overcome that once you sit for a good 20 minutes

After binging Stranger Things season 2 in two days I was kinda at a loss

Ozark was dope. 4 out of 5 stars.

Just started Marco Polo last night. Surprisingly good. Good to see I got two seasons of that to look forward to

Punisher: I'm almost done with the season. Been taking my time with that one to prolong it.

but being that english is a germanic language it's not quite as crazy as watching old kung fu flicks

cause sometimes the lips be matching

I'm doing German audio + English subtitles

Cot damn that cinematography in this joint is clean. I'm all in.

I think folks told me on here that Aziz in this show >>>>> Aziz in everything else and I didn't believe it

But damn it's true. I couldn't stand Aziz before this show, but he's funny as shit in this one.

when the last ep ended. Sitting there like Puffy on No Way Out "What we gonna do now??? Huh??? It's all fucked up now!!!"

It was great but hard to follow at times. I just watched with subtitles.

Starting Broadchurch S3 now.

like with the device and the room and whatnot

and I couldn't follow the names / family members at some points

but I didn't stress and just enjoyed, and in the end it came together

There's some diagrams online for the relationships between characters and all that

It was funny & foul at the same time. Good for some laughs over remembering puberty.

sec

i seen all of 10 mins and it was a bit much but seemed very very funny

Yeah, it is absolutely, positively not for kids. I'm not sure if people just out of puberty (early 20s) might really get it.

like watchin a break up mivoe while you tryna get over a break-up LOL

The ghost of Duke Ellington is a fool tho.

funny as hell...
'luckily' he only seen abt an ep...which is.........
well...is what it is now :-/

.

-Wentworth -- Orange is the new black but wayyyy better
-Ozark
-Adulterers -- Netflix classis
-Bloodline
-Bushwick -- recently watched this...it was 'ok'
-The Mary J Blige movie...i forgot the name
-Hush -- pretty good 'suspense' movie
-Gerald's Game was.....weird..i dont remember if i finished it
-i heard 'What Happened to Monday' and 'Dark' was good



the first 5 i listed are old

My girl always tries to put me onto shows (like Stranger Things), but recently everything seemed wack.

definitely worth watching.

The Netflix home page on my app is a garbage heap of unwanted sounds and disorganized links.

I think I'm going to go to the one month on/one month off approach and I'll have to research and make a list of when shows I'm interested in re on because their interface pushes shit I'm not at all remotely interested in and hides things I find interesting.

I think if you're way into unfunny comedy specials or unnecessary documentaries, or FRIENDS then Netflix is great!

Oh, I re watched some BoJack Horseman.

"To Each His Reach"

I slow rolled the hell out that - it's good though


Need to get to the other stuff in my list - Dark, Mindhunter, Ozark, Mudbound, Bate Motel

I'm sorry I slept on this show for so long. I'm on season 3 now. This show is so crazy.

lol

I started/stopped when it first dropped.

I revisited and ended up binge-watching.

>

My mother and godmother were both some nerds, so I grew up with them watching and discussing it and the various spinoffs, but I've never seen it.

I gotta admit I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

so dope as a kid

Enjoyed both

Italian mob series. I just started the second season. It's one of the best things I've seen all year

it's so good.

i just finished the 'prince' episode. christ jesus

Me and wifey netflix'd and chilled for new year's...fuck going out in the cold.

And this show is UNBELIEVABLE...I hate and root for everyone at the same time. Incredible show

>I hate and root for everyone
>at the same time.

someone mentioned it in the PTP post, who you root for or find yourself siding with is very situational.

i didn't start watching until a couple weeks ago. i ripped through the first two seasons pretty fast. i can't wait till 3 is up.

A nightclub scene.

I get a little beer money every six months.

>A nightclub scene.
>
>I get a little beer money every six months.

Hired Gun is a great doc for music buffs/historians. The players' version of 20 Feet From Stardom.

Dark was incredible. Can't wait for S2.

Finally finished Stranger Things 2. I dug it.

The Toys That Made Us had me all in my feels. I hope they drop more eps soon. Gotta do Transformers.

I've heard good things about The Punisher.

Big Mouth has me rollin'.

I turn just about everyone on to it
Excellent show

So far season 4 is not as dark as the previous seasons. Needless to say I am a bit disappointed

That Freeway doc came out a few years ago and then I couldn't find it again. I keep looking into watching it and it doesn't show anymore.

.

I can't wait to see it again.

Thanks

Dude does his thing.
His podcast (Tone Talks The Real) is great
as well... very informative.

I cant turn that shit off. Watched like 50 episodes this week

i watch it aaaallllll day especially at work i sit right in front of a tv

i love it


i have this weird thing about crime investigative shows, let me know if you feel me on this


so one reason i like forensic files is they get right down to the facts ya know?


they do minimal reenactment

i think the dramatizations and reenactments are the dumbest most wasteful shit so ill pretty much change the channel if im watching something that does that

Then a friend told me they have like five hundred eps on netflix and it was a wrap. Its straight to the point, no fluff or corny acting. Its insanely addictive.

on tv

I made a compromise with my addiction and started watching them while im on the treadmill, so i dont feel so bad about myself. Ha

heard good things about it and I fuck with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson in his current pothead phase.

Its got a straightforward premise (an asshole who should have ended up in hell accidentally gets to heaven) and much of the comedy is modern sitcom (think Parks and Rec) of hanging out with goodie too shoes who are boring, etc.

But its much deeper then that and when the showrunners start to show their cards in the plot, holy shit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Its a breezy 22 minutes an episode with 13 episodes in the first season; ,you can knock it out in the background while doing shit.

But trust me, when you get a glimpse of where the writers wanna take it, you’re gonna be all in.

Also helps that outside of Danson/Bell the other characters are almost all POC.

They've only aired half of season 2, but the goodness continues if you haven't watched it. My favorite part is how the characters of color are absolutely more compelling characters than the white characters, they are all killing it.

it had been in my watch list forever. Mad I took so long to watch it.

..i've also enjoyed most of the comedy specials.




*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

it's basically an MTV mockumentry...

i was surprised how much i liked it.

will be a different city. On Ep. 2, now...Baltimore and heroin/fentanyl shit. Goodness.

Ep 1 was Oakland

it starts at ep2

guys, I swear to you that JUST YESTERDAY I watched Ep. 1. It was in Oakland...focusing on a dude driving dope into Oakland in an RV and a female pimp who also moves cocaine. I watched all 4 in a row, without stopping. Doing a little googling...something must have went down, they pulled it. I found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/7mxjiw/dope_missing_episode_1/

Probably should start watching it soon.

nm

I was mad it was over

Heard from two different people who's opinions I respect that it was trash. I just read that critics have been slamming it, but it got 11 million views in the first three days. I planned to watch it from the start, but now I'm going to make it my business to sit down and give it an honest watch. I'll let yall know what I thought. If you peep it, do the same.

its flawed but completely watchable and even entertaining imo.

when i think of the worst movie of the year (which critics were calling it)...i think of shit i turn on and cant sit through. this isnt anywhere near that at all.

i wouldnt have suggested anyone pay money to go see it in theaters.
but as part of a streaming service you already pay for, its a decent waste of 2 hours.

blockbuster? fuckwitable.

am i gonna drop $$$ to see that at night time at the real movies? nah.

it was at least interesting, though.


peace & blessings,

I'm an advocate for working smarter, not harder. If you just
focus on working hard you end up making someone else rich and
not having much to show for it. (c) mad

I was really surprised by this comedy special. A huge chunk of it is crowd interactions and his spontaneous off-the-cuff comedy is incredible. I knew him from 30 Rock, didn't know he was such a quick-witted, smart, knowledgeable guy.

Sam had a gun pulled on him three times and in the 7th season scenes in certain episodes cut between the original and remastered version, trying to watch all 11 then get on to Black Mirror. Bright was pretty cool other than that "fairy lives don't matter today" line.

been working on my vudu library too.

Equanimity is brilliant. I prefer it over the first two Netflix specials easily. Lots of hilarious material and a really well done closing bit in this one.

The Bird Revelation is.....just different altogether. It has the feel of some those videos that leaked where Dave was working out new material. This one has some nice insights. I wouldn't be surprised if some people say they don't like this one. It's worth a watch just for hearing Dave Chappelle's two cents on the reaction to his trans jokes in Age of Spin and the sexual harassment scandals of 2017.
---------------------------------------


---------------------------------------

worth the wait.
---------------------------------------


---------------------------------------

It’s really good

KMS was fire tho. Probably one of the best comedy specials I have evenr seen

The Bird Revelation was... a waste of my time.

He actually talked about the reaction to his
trans jokes in Equanimity tho.

I might like it more than Equanimity.

Got damn that’ is so on point

need to rewatch.

might not be on netflix but its on amazon, on demand, blu ray, etc.

A great bad movie

Only half way through Travelers season 2. Pretty good so far.

Mudbound was incredible!

Voltron Legendary Defender....

Gotta say its take on the old show is very good...

The Toys that Made us

That Barbie ep was INFORMATIVE..did not know she was created from a call girl joke doll in Germany.
But the ruthless way that they got to "destroy" Jem and the Holograms (show I also watch in Netflix) was sad to think they thought that their products were first in stores.....in reality Jem the cartoon was on the air six months before Barribe and the Rockers were even a though.....

trippy but overall pretty good

I've fallen down the brit cop show hole since watching it.. but it stands out over most of what I've watched lately.

I just started season 2 of Marcella.

but based on premises alone...i'd give River the edge

Bordertown and Black (Korean not Euro) were both better watches for me

It should be called Rambo because not only does Ciro the Immortal live up to his name, he also outsmarts everyone at the same time.

Which is apparent when you binge it; It doesn't really have story telling or character development like that, lacking layers.

I think its a dope show, it looks great, but it could use a bit more depth

Every ep is: Ok now we don't fuck with them, lets kill him, somebody dies, next ep rinse repeat. Not really much going on besides that

Overall cool, but a lil too repetitive for its own good

No nightmares, but just interesting and intense feelings in my sleep. I love that show, but it makes me think out scenarios all the damn time.

that episode reminded me of Erica Garner so much, it's all coincidental of course but to see that episode turned out to be about revenge and released so close to her passing, and I got some OJ vibes but that's another conversation.

but on a lighter note, I like that they presented a shared universe between so many episodes, just makes that world they live in 10x's creepier and scary.

ol' girl running from the robot pissed me off though, should have hit it with the shotgun right after she threw the paint on it, her game plan was boo-boo.

I know it's not really that new, but I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. It's entertaining as hell and looks incredible in 4K.

been watching it the past week.

and the capybara's reaction when the jaguar gets the cayman in Jungles had me screaming

It’s like Gotham to me. That’s another show I used to like but stopped watching due to time constraints.

I’m embarrassed it took that long for me to realize it was based on Archie. I heard all the names and even laughed at the Jughead hat before it clicked. It’s cheesy dark but it works for some reason.

and said “fuck it, let’s combine them all into one!”

even repeatedly.

I'm just wondering what they spent $90 million on...that CGI fairy scene? LOL

I'm on S3 now (seasons are only 6 episodes)

It reminds me a bit of Son's of Anarchy, but before SOA got shitty.

I kinda don't like comparing it to SOA because this is a better show, but there are definite parallels.

shit gets real.

It's funny to watch Gangs of New York right behind peaky blinders. They kinda bleed into each other.

it really excelled in season 4. curious to see where it goes from here.

I saw that a new season came out but it's been so long I don't remember anything about the show.

I love this show but it’s been hectic so I have to binge watch one weekend when the kids are gone.

a week later...I'm starting Season 3, lol. This show is crazy as hell.

Someone did the "best Anime of 2018"

I had to remind her it was January 9th when she read that article.

Shit was wild and Satanicky.

Watched 2 episodes but I don't think we will continue watching that shit.

Devilman Crybaby

kinky sex

vampires

blood

house music

it follows the typical anime arch, just instead of a robot/mecha, nxggas is vampire demons.

Devilman Crybaby is actually the good guy.

Finished Punisher awhile ago which was really good too

The car designer and Nike shoe designer episodes were great.

Dirilis: Ertugrul on Netflix, shit has its corny parts, but the story is very engaging and I found myself hooked.

One of my favorite series of the last 10 years. Wild as shit from start to finish.

Bottoms up....and the devil laughs..

Anti-gentrification, cheap alcohol & trying to look pretty in our twilight posting years (c) Big Reg
http://Tupreme.com

really good. Def worth while, especially if you dug Narcos, Gomorrah, etc..

enjoyed it... you know one of those shows I was disappointed when it's over because I know it'll be a few different things before I find one of that quality again... river was a good example... fell down the brit cop show hole after that but really didn't find anything on par.

especially season 2, but i enjoyed all of them

A little slow up front, but it picks up towards the end. Don't expect any real action though. It's all psycological

.

This show absolutely nails going through puberty while still having the right kind of smart dumb humor.

Loaded cast, too. Favorite performance is probably Maya Rudolph as Connie (though the Shame Wizard was perfectly cast, too.)

and yeah, I already adored Mya before, but the Hormone Monstress is my favorite thing about this show. Big fan of Nick Kroll, too. It really is well done.

i was not expecting season 1 and thought it was hilarious and really good. im almost done with season 2 and im meh on it.

I swear the Hormone Monsters are both top 10 funniest characters on tv

Maya's song about women being comfortable with their bodies...LOL. Jay and them damn pillows.

pretty dope. Like a Game of Thrones/Lord of the Rings junior. Watched it with my family. Enjoyed the season.

watch it.

im digging it. ive only seen two episodes. the tone wasnt really my thing but i stuck with it and its growing on me. im not big on tony danza but again hes growing on me.

the show has a very specific tone/voice that might not be for everyone but the episodes really are interesting.





*mild spoiler*







i thought belinda had accidentally/drunkenly sent tony nudes and thats why she wanted the phone so bad, worried he would leak them and mess up her disney gig. i guess i was on the right trail.

Avoid all trailers/previews anything that tells you the outcome. Kinda ruins it. Especially if youre a fan of "the thing that ends up being the thing that does the thing" for him.


If that makes sense...


Basically it's about a dude who was wrongly charged with murder, and his fight to clear his name. That's all I'll say

The Greatest Story (N)ever Told (finished)

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=s

I’m entertained. Some of it is confusing. But I like shows that are like that.

I loved this shit. A little hard to follow at first with the shifting timelines, but this is the best horror TV series I've seen since the second season of American Horror Story. The fifth episode ("The Bent-Neck Lady") fucked me up.

Anyone else caught this?

I been sleep.

hooked on it

I love watching travel/food shows in the morning while I drink coffee.

But a few times I've had to ff a little cause he was irritating (esp Japan), but i also saw growth in him over the seasons.

good first two eps so far.

why don’t RUN DMC get praise in hip-hop?

If you've seen The Raid Redemption and The Raid 2 and enjoyed those films well this is the gotdamn movie for you. This shit is pure violence and blood. And I thought it was dope as shit.

just watched!!

This is a good one but I love these kinds of shows. Interesting stuff about why certain things affect the taste of food and some good general cooking tips along with a travel element. Every episode made me sooo fucking hungry.

joint got a very raw terrorism scene

just started season one of big mouth...hilarious

atypical probably my fav of the least talked about shows on Netflix

Bordertown is a finnish mystery series that i liked a lot...really curious about a 2nd season bc the ending left a lot to be resolved i think

Hold the Dark was...something else...it was jarringly violent, meditative, confounding, and still somehow cathartic. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you really just wanted to be confused in a dope setting

oh yea...i really liked iron fist season 2...kinda hoping they do something to flesh out what happens after with Misty and Colleen and a few other things but we'll see how this netflix/disney streaming fight plays out

glow season 2 was just as good as season 1...probably better actually

My coworker forewarned me of the ending, but I’m still loving it.

sucks that it just fell off kind of like Deadwood

wrapping it up now. Regina King is in it...



***
I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

I don't like anime, I don't like video game adaptations, and I haven't really fucked with Castlevania since the 16-bit era. But I absolutely loved the first season, so I'm looking forward to this.

I don’t know if it’s my connection, but it looks less pretty than the first season. And, there seems to be a lot of filler. I bitched about the short first season, but at least it got to the point in those 4 eps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVpUZGmHJB8

If you like ghosts and demons and like to watch that show "I Survived..", this is for you

The Greatest Story (N)ever Told (finished)

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=s

Stumbled upon this one Friday and watched it 3 times, this weekend. As a bodybuilding nerd since the mid 80's, this one really hit me. No one with any sense does not consider Ronnie the greatest bb of all time. To see him now, after the effects of his punishingly heavy lifting style, saddened me. It was cool to hear his contemporaries show reverence to how dominant he was, too...even though his very existence kept a few of them from ever realizing their goal of winning a Sandow. Kevin Levrone, Sean Ray, Flex Wheeler, Victor Martinez, Jay Cutler, Dorian Yates...all universally hold him as the best ever. Really good doc.

i realized i forgot to add my thoughts.

the two most interesting dudes to me were Kevin and Jay. Jay just looked flat out exasperated at the idea of Ronnie and what it took to compete against him.

Kevin seemed supercharged like he was just honored to be up there with him and have competed alongside him.

it was cool to see 2 dudes who clearly (at least in the doc) revere RC and how they both expressed it differently.

i cant wait to tell my folks about the doc. for some folks that just worked out casually they were always into the olympia shit and we stayed having fitness mags around the house.

I followed this shit SO closely for so long. I can't imagine what Jay had to feel...at that time. Like you said, you could still hear it in him in the doc. In 2005, he was better that Ronnie...flat out. He was better. Ronnie won, anyway. That had to be crushing. I thought there were to really cool things Jay said which sums up how most of them felt about Ronnie...He said after he finally beat him in 2006, he felt bad for Ronnie...LOL. He was supposed to be hyped he won his first Olympia and he felt bad that he dethroned the King. Secondly...he said to be clear...I didn't beat Ronnie at his best. Cuz, he knew he could never beat the best Ronnie. No one could.

Kevin had the best quote of the doc, IMO when he said "if you're not willing to go to that place...where he's going...and train like that, and withstand that, and live like that and do that and do that and do that...you don't have a chance against him"

sleeping!??

Shyt was like a real life movie......

Ma Adnan Sheela!!?? = GANGSTA!

but yo thing that blew my mind is the parallels of what black folks have been TALKING or fantasizing doing....these muuffcc's DID!

AND shows how even with how they did it ultimately they self destructed......

it's a story that way more folks should know....and way too many haven't heard of even though the shyt happened in most of our lifetimes - the 80's!!

crazy shyt - I encourage ya'll to peep -

I watched but fell off. She told me what happened it was crazy.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it. I still don’t get what all these people saw in Bogwan. I feel like that was so vague. He had an “aura” or whatever? I don’t buy it. They just liked quitting their jobs and having orgies.

I'm GLAD Netflix has gone through a period of throwing money at whatever project is out there...its made for an amazing line up of stuff

that said...


Prime video is kinda taking on a different flavor and I'm feeling it a bit more these days.

Now if HBO would just let me download shit so I can watch content offline my life would be perfect.

I feel like I can never find anything on there

and i'll actually just include everything by platform

Current stuff from the past 3 or 4 months.

Prime
-Marvelous Mrs Maisel (fucking funny show, similar aesthetic to Mad Men - 50's NYC, get in before it really gets bigger)
-Transparent
-Mr Robot
-Homecoming (Sam Esmail man...)
-Enlightened
-Forever (really fucking good and slow moving work if you love Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph)
-Hand of God
-Sneaky Pete

Hulu
-This is Us
-Blackish
-The Good Place
-SuperStore(this shit is hilarious) on Hulu

HBOGo/Now
-Barry (its waaaaaay worth the hype)
-The Deuce
-Animals (I'm mad I'm late to it)

www.Tupreme.com

Not sure what that’s about. I fell asleep during a close Pitt basketball game last night so it’s definitely me and not the show.

Sneaky Pete looks like it would be good.

Mr Robot was aiight but kind of slow. I tapped out

Only watched a few minutes of Animals but it was funny

Usually I’m up on This is Us but I fell off this season. Going to binge watch one weekend or over the holiday break.

aight, lemme nerd out for a minute as to why this show although slow moving is actually dope.

Upfront I think if you listen to podcast first then you will get a lot more out of the show which admittedly moves slow as fuck.

dunno if you know about gimlet media but they are becoming a bit of a thing

rewind to two, three years ago 'This American Life' and 'Planet Money' contributor decides to start up a podcasting network. In doing so he started a podcast called 'Startup' and its all about his struggle and triumph over making his podcasting network become a thing. META.

Then over the past two years more shows are added and they are growing at a tremendous rate.

A year ago they started releasing serialized story form podcasts starting with Homecoming. What made it so dope was the great story AND the cast. Like out of nowhere its all big names behind the voices.

Then in this year that radio drama became a fucking TV show.

They also have two other really fucking dope story form shows, 'Sandra' and 'The Horror of Dolores Roach'

which is crazy when I think about it. Sam Esmail directed Mr Robot. Mr Robot has Bobby Carnnavale (when did he become dope?!) on the cast. Sam Esmail also directed Homecoming which also features...Bobby Carnnavale. Gimlet's other story show, The Horror od Dolors Roach has, you guessed it, Bobby Carnavale as a main character.

Anyway, show link:

https://www.gimletmedia.com/homecoming

i still found homecoming riveting.

it moves slow but it's intentional, because every shot is, for the most part, very thought out. that slow flow is so that the viewer can appreciate all the visual stimuli and care that was put into the "filmmaking" of it.

it sounds very snobby, i get it. but if you can appreciate that then you'll probably dig it. if not you might find it boring although i thought the story was suspenseful enough to keep most people interested.

I had cable the first 2 seasons and I was waiting for 3 to drop on prime and just noticed its up

>-SuperStore(this shit is hilarious) on Hulu

This show is a riot. It's essentially "The Office" in a big box store. And having worked in a Sam's Club in college, I really feel it.

I know shes Honduran but I keep thinking she looks Afro Latina

edit: I'm ignorant, I didnt know black folks were up in Honduras. This explains so many things.

they are starting to develop a reputation for shitty flicks with really good casts/directors.

documentary by Deeyah Kahn who spends time with white nationalist leaders (current and former) to try to get some sense of what drives them to these movements.

I found her approach pretty interesting. She's not pretending not to judge them. She's very straight up with these guys saying she's a lefty activist muslim feminist who finds everything they stand for disgusting and wrong, but she's somehow approaching them in a way that cracks through them.. almost like a therapist. they all seem to genuinely like and respect her, and feel uncomfortable knowing the kind of shit she takes from people like them for just existing . She winds up with some of them through the whole charlottesville thing. literally marching with them while filming, and visits with them months after.

She also talked to Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor who somehow come off far more subhuman and irredeemable than the so-called blue collar nazis from earlier in the doc (which is saying a lot because those guys were saying some truly disgusting shit). Spencer especially is pretty much a parody of an 80s movie yuppie villain.
.

but it still really intriguing. Probably would have if I had read the book in the past.

Sweet Jesus that was an awful movie. Keith David deserves so much better.

Damn, this was sad. Didn’t realize how influential he was in what Run DMC was as a group and even after.

Damn shame

adult cartoon joint

because they ended it perfectly.

Reminded me a bit of Maniac, except much better done. Had no idea Natasha Lyonne was that good.

I liked the scenes in the store and that could be a whole season in and of itself and Mad Dog??? ---> "Who likes orgies more than me? This guy?" that shit cracks me up.

Just watched the first episode.

It’s ok, she talks A LOT.

I may finish it.

It was outright tremendous. Loved the dialogue. "Sweet birthday baby !!" has been stuck in my head all week. Makes me smile whenever I think of it.

Great show. Also led to me researching Natasha Lyonne and finding out about her crazy struggles and resurrection. I probably heard something about her problems in passing at the time but I definitely forgot all about it. She's fortunate it played out just before iPhones and social media.

she was super impressed. I didn't hate it, but it didn't knock my socks off. The lead actress was dope, though.

Lyonne even seemingly co-signed it in the comments. I was saying to my buddy earlier that I subconsciously knew that there had to be something to the 80s/early 90s aesthetic, and all the seemingly random things sprinkled throughout the episodes, i.e. the homeless dude/his shoes, the parade a the end, etc. And I'd been hoping someone would put it all together for me at some point lol.

when he took Pops for the ride...."I need a release."

.mother and had Pops beating him off...so he could get to the daughter. How could two adults be that naive???

... willing to go to great lengths to get the water shipped to the island, I don't think I can ever be shocked by anything again.

>again.


^^oh, wait til you see the cartel dude cut up a nxgga in the desert with a chainsaw...while he's ALIVE

This fucking guy, how diabolical do you have to be to plan this shit out like this? This is Game of Thrones shit.

And what made him so scary is how he correctly was able to gauge what would be the bigger scandal in a small town LDS community. He could manipulate her parents because he knew on some level that the ingrained sexism/homophobia will trump any horror people had at what he did. And he was right! She got shunned from their church for having an affair with another man, he got to do some BS counseling and was forgiven for kidnapping and marrying a child. He knew that her dad would be more scared of the handjob story, even if it meant endangering his daughter again.

Reminds me a little of Andrew Cunanan counting on the fact that the murders of gay men would be taken less seriously by the police.

I’ve been on an Africian kick lately.

cool african flick

although, I didn’t think John Goodman was a good fit for his role. I see him more as a comedic actor.

thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check it out

I've got two episodes left. I really enjoy it so far. Michaela Cole is great.

Loved it. It's a drama following a sports agent during the NBA lockout. It's a lot more than that, though. Give it a look if you got a sec.

"I love the Lord and..." say it with me now.

Glad Soderbergh's back

Really enjoyed it. Moreso than Unsane. I would love to see it on the big screen.

We started watching it but the camera was annoying at times.

Crazy

I will definitely circle back but we were in the mood for more action at the time so we found Kingdom

Some Japanese zombie shit.

Not really a fan of zombie but this joint is crazy

kinda enlightening, spooky and sad all at once.

That was the first time I heard a counter to the story surrounding his murder.

Similar to that Teddy P doc on Showtime.
There was only one person in that car with a dick.
And I never knew there was history of his vehicles being sabotaged. Also, homeboy who arrived on the scene, I feel like he might have been involved in running him off the road into the tree.

that Sam was supposed to be in the hotel with. Plus the black lady just bucked him down like that?? Crazy.

...with a pistol that had 6 bullets.

there wasnt a larger conspiracy at play. They set him up, robbed him for the money he had been flashing around all night, he made a fuss and she or someone else shot him. And the cops didnt care to dig any further so they took her at her word. Tragic and sad.

This is old but I hadn't seen it. In my opinion it was both moving and relevant.

liked it

wasnt sure i would enjoy a "white Friends-like sitcom" but i was entertained....

tired of watching all these morbid shows about serial killers, rapists and pedophiles.... need to watch more happy stuff... might give the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt a try next...

But either way I'm with you, it is a nice change of pace show ... just harmless, light, fun comedy in quick hitting episodes. It's not great but it's easy.

it was fun

shouldve given this show a shot when it first started. its so up my alley but damn the commercials made it look corny as shit.

its like Supernatural mixed w/ Psych.

Murry J did her thing tho.

Netflix
Documentary

went on a spree

Triple Frontier (dope movie starring Ben Affleck)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo3yRLLrXQA
Documentaries:
Long Shot (story of a young man wrongfully convicted of murder) cant really say more than that without spoiling it

Tower (doc. about the University of Texas tower sniper) SO fucked up.

God Knows Where I am (this one was heart-breaking)

The Last Secrets of 9/11 (dealt with the process of trying to identify the 1000's of pieces of human remains using DNA technology, so the the families could have some part of their loved one back)

W.
Foxcatcher doc
McCaffee doc...absolutely fucking insane story...

In today's Muller investigation, indictment, etc...

Not good for my blood pressure.

Almost done with 2nd season - first season was/is easily better so far.

loved it

Couldnt make it past E2

I HATE that kid. I mean....HATE
