Loved the Earl Sweatshirt tracks as Blueblood, too. Guy is talented.

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.
Loving it so far.
I am halfway through this and my brain's blown. I feel like giving any concrete reasons why would inevitably spoil it.

I'm still in it for the long haul but the season ends on a bit of a weak note. There are mind blowing moments all along though (the party full of silent extras.. wtf)

Ramy on Hulu has always been good but season 3 seems to be getting even better.

I may report back when I reach the end. The third episode sent me down a wormhole that brought me to an interview of the former ATF agent who played the fake grandfather, and a tweeted video he was very proud of showing Rudy G reading fake grandpa’s ATF novel. This tweet is bookended by vituperative yells at AOC, which led me back to his scene behind the tree. None of this makes sense, I know.

We've started Reservation Dogs, almost done with the first season and it's very good.

Also, Reboot is pretty funny.

Yeah, echoes of the Finding Frances Bill Gates impersonator guy turning out to be very MAGA. They find the weirdest motherfuckers on craigslist..

Yes - they must have a knack for writing catnip for oddballs. I think my favourite moment from that episode was Fielder’s pivot from “that’s kinda anti-Semitic” to “…on the other hand, maybe…”

Really late to the party here, but I'm currently enjoyng Too Old To Die Young. Basically if you like any of the Nicolas Winding Refn movies, this is a fun crime romp. There is a showpiece car chase between a hideous 80s Mustang and a Nissan Leaf set to Barry Manilow that is worth the price of admission alone. But I'm sure for most the whole thing will just try your patience.

My wife had watched the first episode of Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and suggested I start watching it with her.

I did not like the first episode. Just to make sure, I also watched the second episode and did not like that one, either. I will not be watching any more of it.

I don't really have interest in finding out why he was the way he was, and recapping what he did doesn't sound like my idea of a good time. I should have known better than to watch any of it.

Yep. I caught bits of it in the background and while it tells the victims' & neighbor stories a bit more than similar things in the past, it still shouldn't have been made.

Serial killers are unremarkable fuckups enabled by a society and justice system that can't imagine white men doing evil, shitty things.
