Just saw it too. It was fun. Not giving anything away, it was a fun show.

And stay for both post credit scenes!

We missed the 2nd one, damn. Guess we’ll have to see it again, or wait for it to get to Disney+.

…Since we have a “what I am listening to.”Just watcheda master class in acting from Chadwick, Viola, Colman Domingo, and Glynn Turman. Ma Rainey was an early blues singer from Alabama and the story told by August Wilson is one of importance in US history. It really takes the time to highlight how black art is often times a victim of white gatekeepers. Even if only a small glimpse in this hour and half. It shows how things like “Hound Dog” is thought to be an Elvis song instead of Big Momma Thornton’s. This movie shows the heartbreak and pain of the Jim Crow era America through the eyes of musicians and the communities they had to operate in from Memphis to Chicago. It’s a good watch on Netflix.Real Ma Rainey

Thoughtful, generous and compelling. For those that love drums and dance this is a cool retrospective homage.

Ugh. Michael K Williams died. May rewatch The Wire and Boardwalk Empire to honor his legacy.

Came to post this. What a huge loss, he was a massive talent. Absolutely captivating every single time he was on screen.

Omar Little is one of the greatest characters in TV history.

What a loss.

Just excellent musicianship; mutual love and affection.

Since it’s been 20 years I rewatched Band of Brothers this week. Always worth a rewatch. Top notch acting.

Come From Away on AppleTV. Such an amazing story of community and service during the 9/11 events.

I watch it about 1x/year. Just as a reminder of what was happening on the Western Front. I watch Saving Private Ryan once in awhile for the same reason, but the opening scene is really hard to watch.

I actually have theater tickets for that next year.

Saw it in the theater when it came through town a few years back. Awesome show. Clever writing.

We just watched The Report, with Adam Driver and Annette Benning. We both liked it. I had heard about it in the past, but found it on Prime last night. I only turned it on because of Adam Driver. He did a great job. He was very convincing as Dan Jones.

and a Modern Classic as a double feature last night:

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD - Official Trailer (HD)

Season 3 of Sex Education came out on Netflix today. What appeared at first glance to be a raunchy teen comedy has turned out to be one of the most genuine, touching, funny, moving shows I’ve watched in a long time. It’s absolutely brilliant, with Gillian Anderson being the highlight. She says as much in this show with a single raised eyebrow as most actors say in an entire monologue.

Had to rewatch “The Host” again with Halloween upon us.

Finished Season 3 last night. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I think this is Netflix’s best in-house show, by a wide margin. Not gonna lie, my room got really dusty during that last episode. Having been through it a few times, Hope’s IVF storyline hit home especially hard.

The way these writers deal with conflict, representation, and relationships is truly wonderful. There isn’t a single character in the show that you don’t empathize with at some level. The dynamic between Jakob and Jean were especially fantastic this season, with Gillian Anderson again stealing the entire damn show.

The only character I felt got the short end of the stick on their resolution was Ruby. They did such a great job transitioning her from a mean girl archetype to a well-rounded character, but then it seems like they didn’t really know what to do with it, so they simply dropped her from the picture. Thought that was too bad, as I would have liked to have seen more development from her.

Very interested to see where things go next season.

Discussing Animal House in another thread got me nostalgic for this classic. Call me crazy, but I still think it’s a great watch.
