Whatcha Watchin'?

That’s on me…I hit the wrench icon while not being in the moment and thought I’d clicked on the Edit icon (which confused me at first, as it’s slightly difference in appearance now).

I have since resolved the issue.

@mindysan33 I got pissed off at him when on this past Monday’s show he put down Biden for changing his mind and pardoning Hunter. Like, okay if it were just some regular person who Biden knew but wasn’t a relative, that might be different. But H is the only son he has left, and his paternal instinct (i’m presuming) is to protect that son.

I agree about the Hunter pardon… I think paternal instincts played a role, but I think it’s also about Trump doing the thing he keeps accusing the Democrats of doing, which is weaponizing the legal system to go after his enemies. Although he promised to do that with Clinton back during his first term, he seems to be angling to put people in place to make that happen (Patel, Hegseth, etc).

Watched this last night… Here’s the trailer…

It’s free on Youtube, Tubi, or the Roku channel (where we watched it, with ads). It was absolutely fantastic, as long as you don’t mind highly cartoonish violence. And I mean cartoonish! Think Buster Keaton meets Loony Tunes kind of violence…

That guy should win an Oscar just for being shirtless in the snow for so long.

Funniest goddamn black and white cardboard cut-out set movie I’ve seen since Forbidden Zone

Hands down movie of the year!

Thanks, well done stuff. If the maker is angling for funding for a feature-length version, I’d watch the result.

Mentioned to my kids in the family text thread, and got this back immediately from one of them:

Omg I saw it in theaters during press release where the main guy cartwheeled in in a beaver fursuit and gave (friend) and me free beer
In the middle of the movie
It’s so good

So, it is clear that I must watch it ASAP!

Local boy makes good!
I still can’t figure out why he had to shoot it in Berlin when he could have made it at home (I mean, it worked just fine for The Princess and the Warrior) and used the Schwebebahn.

As far as I remember they weren’t bad in the radio series. But it’s a long time since I heard it.

They weren’t exactly terrible in the TV series, but when they weren’t performing music, they were rather outshone by most of the rest of the cast, I thought, especially their manager and their biggest fan (Kristen Schaal).

Personally i love the TV series. I think their stilted acting works for me because the dry humor and their awkwardness comes together perfectly, but i can understand why others might dislike it. Either way the music is great on its own merits

Today I watched Daisies with some friends of mine.

I don’t think I can explain it in a way that does it justice. It is about two young women scamming older guys, food, consumerism, nihilism, feminism, more food and general chaos.

In other news, today I learned that 60s Czechoslovakia had its own Jenna Ortega.

I freaking love that movie!

This Deadbeat video for a remix of Lazy Jane (FYI I don’t know if it’s an official video or some YouTuber creation) uses clips from the movie quite well:
