She was the star of that show Married but it was terrible lol I remember seeing her in Jawbreaker years ago and always thought she was a pretty good actress.
I think the only thing I remember her in is Jurassic World and maybe some rom com that my wife wanted to watch.
Probably that 13 Going on 30 movie lol.
She is wonderful as the voice of Cheryl.
The lady from Brady Bunch?
Judy Greer is in the greatest movie ever made, Halloween Kills.
She also starred opposite of John Cena in Playing With Fire.
man, this show is great. I feel badly for the families of the victims who didn't want it to be made, but....
Evan Peters should win the emmy for best actor. He's so good and I don't even recognize him when he's playing Dahmer.
Richard Jenkins (the dad from Step Brothers) should win for best supporting. Great performance.
Rodney Burford (the black deaf guy) should win for best guest actor.
Some tremendous performances in this dark tale.
Haven't quite finished it yet but totally agree. Peters has been so good for years on AHS generally playing side characters but what a moment to shine this is for him. He's really good.

Westworld cancelled. Too bad it really came back to life last season.
Sandman gets a season two though so that's good.
Anyone else watch Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix? Varying quality but more good than bad, a couple of really great ones, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out. if I had to rank the episodes:
Once I'm done with Midnight Club I'm going to jump into this one. I started watching ep 1 late at night and fell asleep I was too high.
The first three were great then the next two sucked ass and I don't want to finish it. Anthology style is always hit or miss.
Netflix's 1899 was really bad. Like Russ Swerve Bro bad, but way too long and boring.
I'm two episodes in on A Friend of the Family and it's quite good.
I'm enjoying Wednesday quite a lot so far. Also finished Midnight Club and liked it a lot as well.
God I have a thing for YA shows.
Because those 2 shows for example are hitting people our age in the nostalgia feels. For 30+ years I've been in love with Christina Ricci. Love the Addams Family show, cartoon, and movies. Midnight Club was heavily influenced by Are You Afraid of the Dark? I'm on the last ep of Club, it's been great so far hopefully we get more. I haven't checked out Wednesday just yet though but I will start tonight. My youngest daughter who has never shown any interest in the Addams Family is on ep 4 and loves it. She watched that girl on Disney or Nick so I think that's why she's watching it.
Flanagan leaving Netflix for Amazon.
Midnight club cancelled instantly.
Dead To Me was so good, what a beautiful finale.
Yeah that's too bad as it's pretty obvious that's why they cancelled the show. I still have the last episode to get through. I had no idea there were 80 books related to this show so I'm sure we'll see something again down the road.
It's happening. Flanagan is making the Dark Tower series for Amazon. This will be my new reason to live.
I know it's only 3 episodes in, but I'm not feeling the Willow series. Hopefully it improves.
I wasn't a fan of ep 1 until the last 5 minutes. The dialogue between the "twins" sounds like they were written for a modern era teen drama. Everyone but them have an accent. Ep 2 was better now that we have more of a clearer vision of what is going on. I'll watch 3 tonight. IDK maybe there's a reason we haven't had anything Willow related since the movie. Where's the Krull series??
If I recall, the whole reason they didn't do a sequel or follow up was due to the lackluster results from the first one. So maybe they waited 3 decades to make a follow up because the original gained a cult following over the years?
Possibly. I think if movies like this came out in the last 20 years we would've had more. Back then the studios didn't have the faith or the budget, similar to the lack of comic book movies, to go all in for more than one fantasy adventure movie for sequels. And those that did were fucking terrible and nobody saw them. Willow 2 probably would've been dogshit straight to VHS back in the 90's.
1923
Following Yellowstone and 1883 (while all running intriguingly sorta parallel) this is one episode in now and off to an aces start.
This whole saga has been narratively, visually, and performatively captivating.
I agree 100%. Not a genre I'm a big fan of but I'm loving this stuff.
I'm not sure I'll actually watch this but the trailer is pretty good.
btw fuck Danny Masterson
Wow that looks bad..
Very cringe.
Idk I mean were you a 70s show fan? I think it looks like a good reboot if you were a fan. Kitty and Red look/sound pretty great given how much older they are.
That said, pretty much all reboots are lame hence why I said I’m not sure I’ll actually watch this.
Except the wet hot american summer reboot. That shit was funny.
Finished this and the acting is really, really good. The story is wild but the whole miniseries was worth the watch.
Started Midnight Club last night and seems worth it to keep going. Doesn't seem as good as the other Flanagan stuff but still entertaining.

It was a show that was good the first couple seasons and then when Donna went off to do Karla and Eric left for Spider Man 3 I guess, the show was pretty whack. That 80's show was terrible. For me this will be about looking for the nostalgia. The trailer looks good, they're going to at least incorporate the main cast and Red carried the series so thank God he sounds like he can still go.
It's not but still fun yes. It's been cancelled in the wake of Flanagan leaving for Amazon but he posted all the story details for ensuing seasons so we get to know what happens.

I liked 70's show, wasn't a huge fan or anything but I thought it was funny enough.
I also really really liked Cheers, but I doubt I'd think much of a 2022 Cheers clone done in the exact same wildly dated writing style as the original.
I watched 1923 today, having no clued about any of this Yellowstone stuff. Really liked it, but man that Native American stuff was rough and disturbing. The child and I binged Wednesday this weekend, really good, but maybe an episode or two longer than needed. The Willow show is just really bizarre and not in a good way.
I’ll watch to start, was a fan of the original. Red and Kitty look amazing, Kurtwood was the MVP.
And yes, fuck Danny Masterson…
Why?
I finally watched True Detective season 3. It was excellent. Not "one of the best seasons of television ever" like season 1, but a very good sequel.
Let's just all pretend season 2 does not exist.
Done and done.
I keep forgetting there are more than just the first season with the weed brothers Matthew and Woody. That was a great season and I Just watched it for the first time last year.
I went back and started re-watching The Walking Dead starting with season 3. Nothing against season 1/2 I just wanted to start with the prison/Governor story because that was imo the best stuff they've done. Especially that stand alone Governor episode which I thought was the best episode until they did the Negan origin episode.
Finished it. Really annoyed with the main character but the rest of them were really good.
I've been streaming Schitt's Creek on Hulu. Pretty hilarious.
I'm also loving the new (last?) season of Titans. I need to start up on the new Doom Patrol as well.
You know what I like about HBO Max? They have those old Autopsy shows.
Mayor of Kingstown. Started it yesterday, on episode 6. Absolutely loving this show so far.
Schitt's Creek is fabulous.
I've, for some reason, had big bang theory on a bit in the background. Not watching it per say but there are moments that catch my attention and I'll watch for 10 mins.
I like Big Bang but it's mostly for the comic book references and Penny lol. That whole relationship changed the way women look at us nerds.
I love Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara and Chris Elliot and I wanted to LOVE Schitts Creek. God I did. And maybe I'll give it another shot one day.
But I got halfway into the first season and it's just one joke. "We're rich. We aren't used to this!"
And haha yes very funny. But I mean...fuck
Yeah I couldn't stand it. I think I made it through a couple of episodes and tapped out. Eugene Levy and his son are funny but not funny enough to make me want to keep watching.
Yeah if you only made it through a couple episodes I won't even bother trying to convince you to maybe jump in to the second season. I can definitely say that the second season is better than the first. Sometimes that's just how it works. It took me 3 seasons to warm up to The Shield and it's my favorite show of all time.
Dan Levy should star as the young version of his father in an American Pie prequel.
Sounds like money to me.
They've made how many of those movies and haven't done a prequel? Yeah it's time lol.
I'm only about a year late but I watched South Park: Post Covid on Paramount+ and thought it was excellent. It reminded me of when I used to love South Park. I still need to watch part 2: The Return of Covid. Should be fun.
South Park has long since reached that same level as The Simpsons for me where if you ask me if I'm a fan, yes of course I am BUT I basically never watch. Not for years.
I feel like I'd still enjoy South Park if I made the time for it though.
I logged into amazon video for the first time in a while the other day and thought I'd been hacked as there were 400 plus videos In my watchlist. But looking closer the videos were all ones I would have at least a passing interest in, any other users had this? Seems a gross intrusion for them to add stuff you may have searched for onto your list.
No and if they do that I'll be quite put off. My watch list is a delicately formed list of movies I've amassed over more than just a couple years and no of course I'm not ever going to watch half of them but I don't want Amazon deciding that I simply just need to see Dutch and jamming that in there just because they say so.
I don’t recall hearing about this last year when it debuted but I just watched episode 1 of “9/11: One Day in America” by National Geographic and it was incredibly powerful and well made. The footage and interviews are the best I’ve seen regarding 9/11. It won’t be a show I can binge watch very fast since it’s so heavy and gut wrenching but I’ll definitely watch the 5 other episodes. Kudos to the filmmakers and the survivors who participated. That first episode was remarkable.
(It’s on Hulu)
Also by “last year” I mean 2021. I haven’t adjusted to it being 2023 yet.
The hype I have for this is off the charts. The book was the best I've read in probably five years, if not more. And I read a shit load of books.
I've started Succesion.
It seems like there is nobody to root for? Don't love that.
Gave Reboot on Hulu a chance. Loved it. Paul Reiser is just the best.
Succession is one of those shows where every charatcer is a shitheel in their own unique way, and it's just the circumstances of any given episode that makes you root for the least shitheel-character in that scenario to prevail at that moment. And then almost instantly make you regret it.
Reminds of Breaking Bad in the sense that there was pretty much nobody to root for. Except their son.
I always rooted for Jesse, regardless. He was such a beautifully flawed character, there's a bit of Jesse in all of us
yeah it's like Cass said, you wind up finding yourself rooting for the one that isn't that much of an asshole lol Frank was likeable I guess.I always rooted for Jesse, regardless. He was such a beautifully flawed character, there's a bit of Jesse in all of us
That does not make me want to watch more lol.
Walt. Totally rooted for Walt. He was so misunderstood.I always rooted for Jesse, regardless. He was such a beautifully flawed character, there's a bit of Jesse in all of us
Flawed characters are the most interesting characters. Lip and Mickey from Shameless spring to mind. Hard not to root for them.
Anyone watching Tulsa King?
Frank Stallone is probably tuning in.
Just got Paramount Plus a month or so ago.
Started some of the Star Trak stuff. Lower Decks is kinda fun.
But none of that matters, because Ted Lasso returns in 2 weeks
streaming sucks
I am enjoying The Outer Banks on Netflix. I think I am up to episode 7 or 8.
Final season of Wu Tang on Hulu is so good. It's a shame it has to come to an end.
I watch. Great fun.
I'll tell you one person you'll never convince of that.
Dave Bautista.
First three episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six were fantastic. Can't wait for the rest of them. Great music, decent enough acting, very well done.
Can’t recommend Daisy Jones & The Six highly enough. Incredible series that didn’t disappoint. Even though they didn’t include my favorite scene from the book I’m fine with the omission. The final 15 minutes was flawless.
The White Lotus (season 1): definitely very good. wasn't exactly what I was expecting but I can see why it was an awards darling. I'm going to watch season 2.
American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing - this is a documentary on Netflix. It's 3 episodes and I'm midway through the 2nd so I'm half way done. It's very good so far. It's a story near to my heart since I was living in Boston proper when all of this went down. the shootout with the killers in Watertown took place outside my best friend's apartment. anyway I think it's a good doc but it's pretty standard documentary filmmaking. the chinese kid who got carjacked/kidnapped by the bombers and then escaped and led to them getting caught is the man. interesting to hear the law enforcement leaders talk about the differing opinions on whether to release the photos of the suspects to the public or not.
Can't wait for this to drop. The first season was incredible and I have high hopes for this. So happy to see Lip from Shameless finally get his due as the actor he has worked to become.
'The Muppets Mayhem' on D+ is really good. I had low expectations after Muppets Haunted Mansion 'cuz I thought it sucked but this has been quite entertaining, funny, heartwarming, etc., all the things you want from the franchise. And it's cool seeing the second tier gang get some spotlight. I think we've got 2-3 eps. left so hopefully it finishes strong.
Succession penultimate episode was fucking amazing.
I love succession but I don’t think it’s top tier drama like sopranos and mad men. But episode 9 of this season was of that level IMO.
Series finale this Sunday
I watched the first couple episodes of Succession and couldn't get into it.
I started watching Citadel. I'm liking it so far.
I enjoyed the first 3 episodes of Pete Davidson's Bupkis. I love Joe Pesci and Edie Falco is terrific. This looks like absurd fun.
Finished watching Ted Lasso with the missus. We both enjoyed this, and think it may have been the best stuff we've seen together in a while.
honestly i loved Ted Lasso, but they fucking jumped the shark this past season. Games of Thrones final season flashbacks for me
I have been obsessed with Curb Your Enthusisasm. I am on season 4 already.
I'm watching the X-Files. Can't remember what season I got up to originally so I'm just rewatching
Well this looks super interesting..
..and I've come to learn now that the source material is a pretty gripping book that starts a 3 book series. Anyone read it/them?
Almost done the third (and final) season of “Star Trek: Picard”. While I’m not a hardcore Trekkie, it is really enjoyable to watch.
Hope to finish the final two seasons of “Power” before the network shows return in the Fall (provided the writers get paid and win their strike, of course). I’ve been working on it during the network downtimes for a couple years now, have a couple spinoffs to fill the void when I’m done with the original series.
I wonder what the writer’s strike means for the final half-dozen episodes of “Yellowstone”, whether or not the revised (and rushed) ending to the show has already been written.

I watched it all over the last two days. I really, really enjoyed it. Though Manfredi's speech before the final fight was really damn good.
The ending to “Picard” was perfect.
Hijack on Apple TV. Good suspense in the build-up to the bad guys taking over the plane and some nice touches in terms of everyday annoyances on flights. A very slick vehicle for Idris Elba and I look forward to the remaining episodes.
I am on season 1 of Yellowjackets, so freaking good.
The Bear season two was pretty great. The only episode I didn’t like was the hour long Christmas episode. Other than that it was a fantastic season. Richie deserves the Emmy for his work in the last two episodes. Dynamite stuff.
Anybody else into the “Power” universe?
Over the past year plus I’ve done serious damage on this franchise: the final three seasons of the original series, season one of “Force”, all three seasons of “Ghost”. I find it entertaining and compelling TV, these ten episode seasons are so easy to polish off.
On deck, in order, over the next calendar year: season two of “Force” and seasons 1-3 of “Raising Kanan”. We probably don’t see network TV return until January at the earliest (for a shortened run to return to a normal production schedule), so I have some time still.
I finished Season 2 of Shoresy the day it came out. Just great stuff.
So good. Jared Keeso is amazing; he’s really leaning into these new characters, fleshing them out more.
While the twelveth/final season of “Letterkenny” sadly airs this Christmas, the cast/crew of “Shoresy” is already back in Sudbury filming number three.
I'll be honest. I liked the most recent Shorey season better than Letterkenny season 11. 11 was good. Just really thought this was a strong Shoresy season. Still bummed this is the final for Letterkenny.
A very strong final season of “Letterkenny”, it hit all the right notes.
Canadian excellence, thank-you Jared.
