Fall (2022)

Story and dialog are pretty trite overall. But man o man did this movie give me constant anxiety throughout. I don't remember the last time any film (and I watch a lot of horror) caused such a visceral reaction, and for such a sustained amount of time. I enjoyed the experience even though it was a hard watch. Recommend watching it on a giant TV.

Late to the thread to mention this one but this was our absolute favorite series over the winter.

Catching up on the Paramount+ iteration of Beavis and Butt-Head before the second season of that starts up and, in all honesty, Mike Judge still has it. Haven't seen an episode that's failed to make me laugh yet.

It's based on the book Straight Man by Richard Russo, which I happened to read circa 2004, via a bookworm friend of mine who'd lent it to my then-gf. All three of us liked it. Sort of in the ballpark of Wonder Boys, in that it deals with an older prof type under some duress, trying to iron out some issues. I found it to be a well written tale--crisp prose, wry humor, and some good commentary about academia and the culture at large. It stood out to me because at the time I was reading few contemporary novels, and it reflected well on lit set in the then-present. Anyway, haven't seen any trailers/previews for the show, but Bob Odenkirk is in it, so am guessing they'll be playing it for laughs.
just started watching, pretty great. music by everyone's second favourite podcaster, Joe Wong

The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder's new show:
YES. First episode did not disappoint, and knowing how these shows go will only get weirder and more elaborate as they go.

(the Fielder-produced How To With John Wilson on Max is also great, haven't seen that mentioned on the board yet)
I didn't get a chance to see the rest of the episodes until now, but the show's turn near the end of that first season was so deeply, deeply strange, all the way through to the final lines of the final episode.

It's early, but I won't be surprised to see The Rehearsal on a top five list for the best TV shows of the 20's.
