A big feature of the Goodies' first tour was showing scenes that had been cut out of the episodes in Australia thirty-five years earlier.

Ha, thats a great set of info!

NEWSREADER: Its speed was estimated by various witnesses to be somewhere between twenty and six thousand miles per hour. [These pictures were taken by a Swedish amateur photographer. (shot of nude girl)]

This was the one I watched this morning. I was like WOAH I do not recall a naked lady in any episode before.

um...

#45, Cunning Stunts - 5 cuts.

Loved "Cunk on Earth," which will forever have a place in my heart for calling the Titanic the world's first single-use submarine. Haven't checked to see if any of her other series' are streaming here ...

I watched a bootleg YouTube of "Cunk on Britain" last night and it was equally or more amusing despite my unfamiliarity with that country.

maybe TED LASSO (2020-) has the weight of expectation on it now which is not a good place for such a slight show but i was not in love with S03E01. i could see the writing on the page. everyone little quip machines. the conflict spelled out in mile high letters.

To me the episode felt like an unnecessary "welcome back" episode. Like, here are these people and what they have been up to, as if anyone watching the third season of the show needs that. But it was otherwise fine.

I got an ad for Ted Lasso on YT the other day and literally the only dialogue was someone saying "I love you guys so much", show sure ain't shy about leaning into its reputation.

I wish these shows would stop leaving it so long between seasons. I stop caring! Ted Lasso, and also Shadow and Bone which I have desperately tried to follow S2 of, and have ZERO idea what the fuck is going on (and dont want to have to rewatch S1 to fix this).

Its one thing to have a break when you had a 20-episode season that went most of the year, but when a season is 5-10 eps dropped all at once, and you watch the lot over a weekend or 2 in march, then wait 2 years for the next? Fuckin.

Is Shadow & Bone worth watching. Netflix is promoting it hard to me (because I watched the Last Kingdom I guess)

idk i quite like Ted Lasso s3 but i feel like one of the few ppl who wasnt disappointed in s2 either

i don’t really need the show to be anything more than what it laid out in s1 and it continues to do that in various forms & i like it

I keep getting ads for VIAPLAY, which is promising me plenty of Nordic noir. I can barely keep up with the Nordic noir on Netflix and Amazon.

Speaking of which, just started s3 of Trapped which is now called Entrapped (and on Netflix.) Still good.

Watched the Bordertown: Mural Murders movie on Netflix, then followed it going back to the original 3 season series. Watched the first series’ first two mysteries (5 eps). Finland set, on the town near Russian border, with an enjoyable Hannibal-esque brilliant investigator who uses a memory house technique to gather and connect facts. First two mysteries are remarkably grim: teenage sx trafficking then teenagers setting up a lethal druggy rave. Need a breather before watching more.

Is Shadow & Bone worth watching.

First season was mostly pretty fun (outside of the superficial treatment of racism), but the finale was particularly momentum-killing. I don't have Netflix anymore so can't say anything about the second season.

I also thought the first season of Shadow and Bone was enjoyable fantasy, aimed at a teenage audience but not cringy like a lot of shows in that vein are. will report back on S2 soon

Halfway through the second season of Shadow & Bone and it's still fun but they definitely seemed to have upped the violence this season

Thought Shadow and Bone S2 was a bit slower but picked up in the last three episodes. And yes, more violent

The Billy Crudup retro-futurist show on Apple+ - 30 minutes that feels like two hours.

Anybody try that new Great Expectations adaptation? I was prepared to skip but then I saw Olivia Colman is in if so now I’m curious

The brains behind that one is Stephen Knight, who was the guy who brought us Peaky Blinders and rogue heroes sas, I’m not a fan but ymmv wrt to that style.

I watched one episode of Bad Sisters and it’s great, will be watching the rest ASAP.

lol peaky blinders dude doing great expectations, wonder if he'll use the south park ending

That’d be Steven* Knight actually

I got all the way to season five of Peaky Blinders before I quit, some of the acting held up for me but it’s just a real joyless slog.

colman only really sneaked in at the end of episode 1, and we've not seen the big messy room yet (my favourite bit)

i only meant to watch the first 5 minutes, ended up watching it all

I enjoyed Rogue Heroes. Was a bit OTT in places but unlike Peaky Blinders it was fun xp

Latest Ted Lasso episode had that weird 70s Italian guy pretending to sing in english as a song in the background! I recognised it right away by its stompy beat/brass stabs.

Watched Spin Me Round on Hulu, a very silly movie that's seems like it's trying to nail a certain late '80s/early '90s tone maybe, and is pretty enjoyable due to the crazy cast (Ben Sinclair, Tim Heidecker, Molly Shannon, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Zach Woods, Ayden Mayeri).

i watched s1 of Only Murders In The Building and I'm pissed off that "Tim Kono" being an anagram of "Im Not OK" wasn't any sort of clue.

YMP: thats the one!

If anybody besides me has not yet seen Jordan Peele's NOPE, it is now streaming free on Amazon.

"free on Amazon" lol

The great Adriano Celentano. Françoise Hardy tells a story of being in a song contest with him and, upon learning he hadn't won, Celentano instantly getting in his car and driving straight into a wall.

when I learned about him people were calling him "the italian Serge Gainsbourg". I'm mostly happy watch videos of Rafealla Carra dancing.

Yeah, an imperfect comparison I'm sure but I gather in terms of stature it tracks. Quite enjoyed watching Celentano play a 19th century gangster in a Sergio Corbucci film.

Dan selzer i think you were the person who turned me on to "prisencolinensinainciusol"? I love it so much

I still think my favorite show, the one I most relate to, is Looking (2014-2015), which is now on HBO. It creates a very real and believable sense of time and place for gay people and their friends living in San Francisco

After months of ambivalence I finally started watching The Patient. It certainly goes by in a flash - I started it yesterday and am already halfway through. That’s entirely due to its potboiler structure—short chapters with cliffhanger endings. Wise to make the early episodes brief as this premise will ooze into tedium if allowed. On the other hand it’s all a little more 2-D than it ought to be. I get that General Hux is supposed to be kinda opaque but it’s coming off as simplistic.

Did we discuss Swarm anywhere? (The Donald Glover show, not the German sci-fi one.) I'm five episodes in and it's quite a ride so far, kinda takes the satire and weirdness of Atlanta and pushes it into disturbing. Was surprised to see Billie Eilish have a sizable role in an episode, apparently her acting debut. Also really like the fake Beyonce songs they made for the show

I've watched most of this, fairly entertaining but weird. I did indeed enjoy Billie Eilish, she makes quite a good cult leader. Seeing that the last episode takes place in Atlanta, any chance that there's a crossover with the other series?

Sadly, no 2nd season coming for "Three Pines" on Prime. Happily, have read all the Louise Penny mysteries now and loved them.

I want there to be an Atlanta Cinematic Universe

The show certainly feels like it is in that cinematic universe

First couple of episodes of the new season of Dave (on Hulu) were pretty strong (& funny)

Watched the Navalny doc in HBO today—worth watching for the middle section when they figure out who attempted his assassination and how they did it. Really a mind blowing scene.

cosign. going in I had only cursory knowledge about Navalny as an opposition leader and that there was an assassination attempt. the doc is more of a crime drama and than a political drama.

Started watching The Night Agent. This scene in the house in the first episode is so dark, I might as well be listening to an audio book.

i watched the first ep of that & felt sufficiently ambivalent about watching more. it just felt like a boring stew of all the usual tropes? and that lead guy kinda reminded me of Jamie from Bake-Off

The first scene on the train had me thinking about the vastly superior The Bodyguard from a couple years back. But that’s probably an unfair comparison.

anybody seen BEEF (2023)?

^ Plan on watching it soon

The Navalny doc starts off a bit telling-not-showing for my tastes but yeah, the middle section of the movie to the end makes it worth watching. Just insane
