What are you watching now?

[89th]

Yeah agreed. Great writing, acting, and music!

I've been told to watch Succession due to the apparent close similarity of the head honcho to our former CEO. Maybe I'll give it a go.

I tend to find things quite uncomfortable when they resemble reality. My former boss so closely resembled Bill Lumbergh from Office Space that it literally took me four attempts to complete the movie.

Pluribus. On Apple TV. Sci fi end of world thing with.

For a maybe too many times used theme, it’s actually quite good.

I’m fucking hooked.

[Mik]

I've only watched the first episode, but it was brilliant, and very fresh take on post-apocalyptic SCIFI.

[89th]

I watched the long movie, One Battle After Another… it was enjoyably refreshing and original compared to most of what’s out there today. Leo is always fun to watch a movie and had a great time in this one, the first 20 minutes seems like it’s gonna head down a woke path, but really most of it is a chase/chaotic scene with almost “The Firm” piano style soundtrack. Anyway not sure I’ll rewatch it anytime soon but I thought it was fun and the plot wraps things up decently.

[Mik]

I've watched about the first half hour, up t the point where it's a few years later. I need to get back, as it was interesting and Sean Penn is a slimy delight.

[Doctor Phibes]

A Spy Among Friends, docu-drama about Kim Philby's defection. Quite well done. I love spy stuff.

Oh goodness.

I just discovered Clarkson's Farm on Amazon! I've been binging this for the last few weeks, and I'm almost done with season 3.

Gerald, so far, is my favorite!

Finishing up The Man In The High Castle, West Wing, Dutton Ranch, Running Point, Reds baseball.

[Andrea B]

Is Dutton Ranch any good? I always remain skeptical of spin-offs.

I loved the first few seasons of Yellowstone, maybe because Rip is so hot (not to mention the other cowboy porn). But it seemed to go off the rails at the end.

THere's another spinoff, "The Madison" with Michelle Pfeiffer. I wonder if it's any good.

[Mik]

Madison is a soap in Montana geared toward a female audience. Still, it’s not bad.

Dutton is a worthy successor to Yellowstone, which jumped shark.

[jodi]

Steve was an extra last year for a scene in the second season of Madison. It’s a restaurant, he sat at a table right next to the actors, so we may be able to see him when it airs.

Just finished Nicolas Cage's Spider Noir - my son talked me into it as he knows about this stuff. I really enjoyed it, completely different from regular Spider Man - essentially Raymond Chandler with a superhero.
