A 90 minute show filmed in a small NYC theater, a one-man monologue with elements of magic. Highly recommend 'In and of Itself'. Fantastic.

Cringe worthy. In an attempt to steer them away from that crap (when covid hit a year ago we would watch an episode a day during lunch), we started with "Last Airbender" and now we're on "Wonder Years". Both very good for you and kids (7 and 10 year olds). On 3/2/2021 at 10:08 PM, jamny said: I was a big fan of Get a Life and liked him on Letterman but I know (Chris Elliott's) not for everyone. Still, even he couldn't save the show for me. He's so funny. Same with Norm McDonald for me. Enjoy both but get why some would hate them with a passion.

Yes, it’s a ripoff of Edge of Tomorrow (and every other Groundhog Day type movie), but it’s done really well as a hyper-violent video game-ish take on the genre. Thought I was over Groundhog Day type movies...then "Palm Springs" came out on Hulu (w/Adam Samberg). So good.

I loved The Americans, so I gave the interview a listen. Rhys is hilarious. Rhys was very good in "Perry Mason". Great show, looking forward to Season 2.

DJackson10 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 21 hours ago, TripItUp said: This is the best new show going right now based on the first two episodes IMHO. Good to know but I also might critique it more given I know the area and how "DELCONIANS" act at times. I know the director is from here but sometimes they take liberties. The Goldbergs for example the show is based on an area near me and they've taken a few liberties on the show for Hollywood effects I'm sure.

On The Rocks Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Tiger Woods Doc. (HBO Max) Finally had the chance to watch this series. I enjoyed it even though I found it to be somewhat depressing. It's interesting in hind sight watching clips of Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon mocking the story of all his mistresses during their monologue and then consider the collateral damage of his family left behind by his behavior. Very depressing. There's a special place in hell for the media and paparazzi. They used a lot of not so close people (family friends and high school mates) interviewed to tell his story, I did think the spots with caddie Steve Williams and Nick Faldo added significantly more to the story. Personally I'm pulling for him to tie Jack before it's all said and done. Edited April 27 by On The Rocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if the world put in some laws protecting these celebs and big names we could hold the media accountable. There's numerous times where media has enabled behavior or egged certain people on for reaction to get a story as well. Always felt we needed to hold them a bit more accountable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhib Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) On 4/20/2021 at 8:10 AM, On The Rocks said: Mum (Streaming on Brit Box) Very very funny. It does take a handful of episodes to figure out exactly what you're watching, but through all three seasons (6E each), you find that each character is on their own journey. Sometimes you want to laugh, sometimes you want to cry. But overall, a hilarious show. Yeah, this turned out to be great. Such a perfect mix of comedy and heart. I'd definitely recommend the week trial of BritBox just to watch this show. My wife and I struggled between watching quickly and trying to make the 18 episodes last. And you know there are really good characters when my wife says at the end, "Awww. I'm going to miss them." Oh, and those grandparents were the best - they alone had me laughing out loud at least once or twice each episode.

eoMMan Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Mare of Easttown on HBO Episode 3 is tonight and it's been pretty good so far. Episode 1 was a little "meh" but mostly because like most first episodes, they need to introduce the characters and their background. Not a whole lot of action. But come episode 2...whoa nelly....action picks up like MOP's heart rate when he smells tunafish. Check it out. It's sort of like a True Detective with Kate Winslett, who seems to be doing a decent job with the Philly suburb accent. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
