Andor- surprisingly good, all things considered.

Andor is a standout in a franchise that’s otherwise circling the bowl.

just about my favourite fuckin movie, or FFM as the kids say

Wife and I just finished the F1 movie, and I think it was pretty accurate: it kept going, and going, and going, on and on and on and on... they probably could have shaved 6 minutes off the run time if they cut out half of the long, furtive glances between 3 of the characters. Aside from that, the story was unremarkable: cars go fast [ad placement], egos flare [ad placement], someone gets hurt [ad placement], enemies become buddies [ad placement], win race [ad placement], main guy gets the girl...

Please, no spoilers that there are cars racing there…!

"The Chair Company" on HBO / MAX. A lighthearted conspiracy / comedy from Tim Robinson. Watched the first three episodes last night and enjoyed a few laughs.

Same here with Absentia. Watched S1 but gave up after the 3rd episode in S2. It's one of those shows which gets silly on the whodunit villain. Plus, I have never been a New Yorker but the eastern euro city where the series was filmed doesn't even remotely resemble NY!

That's because it's (supposed to be) Boston! Apparently it was filmed in Bulgaria.

I stayed for 7 episodes of The Chair Company and that'll be my last. Interesting concept that could have made a fun movie or a two-episode arc. The humor is mostly a miss for me.

Faster with finnegan

Watched most of the episodes when aired, but fun to re watch

It's a car show with a lot of sketchy ... but funny

(Reminds me of stuff I would do with my friends when younger.... but we had a much more low budget hack kind of way lol)

YouTube has a bunch of awesome movies for free now

I started watching Pluribus on the recommendation of Red Letter Media. I really appreciate the lack of filler in each episode.

I just finished watching "The Long Walk". I read this book as a teenager, & remember it being stuck in my head for weeks afterwards. The movie adaptation wasn't bad, but of course it was nowhere near as good as the book.

About the escapees from the Siberian Gulag?

Never seen the movie, but yeah, the book was a good read.

Not sure about the first part.

It's on Starz which has a deal going $2 a month for 2 months.
