    Venture Bro’s? Never had happened and most likely never will unless I’m at some sort of expo for nerds like myself.

    Just started watching Andor with my wife, and it’s surprisingly excellent. Like, it revolves entirely about antiimperialist themes and is well written, well directed, well acted, the effects look fantastic.

    Oh and for anyone else confused, Andor is NOT the planet on which episode 6 takes place ! the one with the teddy bears ? That’s Endor with an E. Andor is actually the name of the main guy in the show.

    Back when Supernatural was current I encountered a cashier who had the antipossession tattoo visible. I asked them whether it was from the show. I expected them to be happy that it was recognized but they just gave me a funny look and said “yeah.”

    Didn’t say much of anything after that. I mean, I was making a purchase so it wasn’t a close social interaction anyway.

    Started watching Widows Bay.

    For any of you who like David Lynch’s quirky characters and absurdity, you will like this show. Great cast too. Lovecraft lore.

    There is this scene in the first episode that hooked me.

    A museum tour guide is showing this guy around and talking about the town’s history and at one point there is a wall depicting burning witches and she says something like:
    “Oh that’s a bit of the town’s pride. we found all the witches and burned them”.

    It just gets better with every episode. Apple tv but I pirate everything so.

    Also

    Currently watching:

    From season 4.

    The terror season 3.

    Rick and Morty season 9

    Just watched The Burroughs . Was decent. And The Burbs remake series. Also decent.

    Nothing exceptional but I like quirky casts and it has that guy from “dream corp llc” and “what we do in the shadows”. I really like his character. He does the same character in everything but I still dig it.

      The acting is really good, especially the mayor. The story feels a little disjointed at times but I really like it.

      I’m about to wrap up The Burroughs, and have enjoyed it. Nothing ground breaking really, but it’s fun and I appreciate the older cast and one season for a change.

      Couple of episodes behind on Widow’s Bay but it is a pretty unique blend of humor, horror, and drama imo, and well worth the watch.

        Yeah the casting is pretty good and a solid show. I too enjoy one off seasons. I feel like the writing is often more concise and pacing is better when they aren’t trying to build up a bunch of unanswered questions to get people to watch the next season.

      Heyy, the wife and I are slowly making our way through season 2 again lately. We just watched the one with the 1980’s title card intro, where Walter rescue/kidnaps young Peter.

      I’ve rewatched it twice since its initial run. It’s just short enough that nothing is really dragged out and most of the plot points are resolved etc. Not like X-files which is my main comparator to fringe

          You should try again and stick with it. It doesn’t stay in the strictly procedural format. There are multiple big shifts that completely re-frame the story, usually at the end of each season.

      That guy was so, so creepy. The costume guys did a great job with this movie, I think there wasn‘t even any VFX used. Wild stuff!

    Completely obsessed again with The Expanse. I thought 2 weeks ago to take a peek at one episode and am in the midst of my 2nd complete rewatch since then.

    Also teasing myself for the backrooms
