Yep. She is serious high maintenance. Ruddy was with Hogan's heroes for 7 years and, which they make seem like two weeks in the show. He also had worked for Jack Warner for a couple years before that. Irl, he probably networked like crazy hanging out at Chateau Marmont every night with her. Gram Parsons and Hunter S. Thompson both lived there around this time. About four years after this, she sold Marmont and joined a cult in Oregon. The guy playing Mario Puzo is killing it.

Yes on Puzo actor. Giovanni Ribisi is doing great as well.

Love Death and Robots S3
I LOVED S1 but I thought that S2 was a little too artsy. So far S3 has been amazing. Fucking brutal in some episodes.

Marathoned this portion of Better Call Saul.

Going to miss this one when it ends. Going to need a Mike prequel series next. Maybe they can do the same shit they did from The Irishman. That looked legit

No.

The next thing is an animated series that looks like the worst shit to ever be made into a cartoon called "Slippin' Jimmy." Based on the few trailers I've seen, it's absolutely fucking dogshit awful. Like, I'm not sure who approved this, but I'm pretty sure whoever it is, if they get found out? They should be taken behind the woodshed.

And we all know what needs to happen behind the woodshed.

I am gonna miss Better Call Saul. I'm looking forward to being able to watch the whole thing. There's been a few moments going through it one at a time where it was a bit of a let-down, but I have a feeling those moments won't be so bad when you can just jump into the next episode.

For a few minutes about every four episodes or so, yes. It's a lot slower burn than even Breaking Bad was. But god damn did Nacho more than make up for the first half of this season. Holy fuck.

There are big moments coming, though if I remember the season after Chuck died ended on a real WTF note.

The Orville kicked things off on a less than hilarious note. Still a good episode, but I hope they don't dredge themselves in serious sauce and forget that they started as a comedic twist on Trek.n

I did dig the episode overall, just wasn't what I was expecting. Was there even one dick joke?

yeah... the Orville started off pretty heavy but still was a great episode...... Finished up the released episodes of Stranger Things season 4 yesterday, looks like they are really building the series up to a great finale

Anyone watch Shoresy? There is some filthy language, if you're into that sort of thing.

Shoresy is awesome. Is it Letterkenny? Not really. But it has its moments.

Keeso can do no wrong far as I'm concerned. That man is a comedy genius.

I am glad they've found a way to continue the fine tradition of "FUCK YOU, SHORESY!" in various ways.

I'm pretty sure that my wife thinks less of me for laughing out loud at Shoresy, but after 20 years together idgaf. Some of the characters were strong like Ted Hitchcock, Goodleaf and Michaels. Jay Onrait was good too.

Started 1883 last night. Pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be the Faith Hill Plastic Surgery Disaster but it was actually pretty damn good. Sam Elliot showing emotion for the first time in 176 acting gigs was kind of nice as well :lol: Looking forward to some wild west brutality :evil:

My wife laughs with me, but Shoresy, Jonesy, Riley was one of her favorite bits of Letterkenny, so I was expecting her to enjoy it.

I don't know why, but with all the funny bits in Shoresy, when he does that deal where he just goes, "HOOO LEEE" and then makes a funny face without saying anything else it just cracks me up to no end.

Wife suggested we rewatch the whole thing again. Who am I to argue with a good idea? :idk:

Just not feeling the new season of Peaky Blinder. Blinders vs International Fascism is not what I want from from the family.

Ackles' ability to make an utter fool of himself for the camera is paying off in spades for this show. We were watching the show and I literally had just said to the wife, "Wonder if we get more Soldier Boy this episode?" then *BAM* rapping Soldier Boy. LOL.

Finished up 1883. Excellent job and how you do a series. Great work on really everyone's front, acting wise. Sam Elliot was great. As was McGraw.
