If you like creepy as fuck podcasts that based on real events narrated by the people who experienced them, I recommend Radio Rental.

The new DCU plans announced by James Gunn are certainly not just going to be about TV shows, but since they encompass it as well as movies and video games I guess I’ll stick the link in this thread.
… How do you feel about it?
I have no faith in Gunn’s ability to make a successful DCU. I can’t even get remotely excited about that Batman movie even though i’ve been waiting desperately for them to introduce Damian Wayne. But I know it’s just going to be another let down with yet another slow motion recap of Batman’s mother’s pearls falling in the alleyway. And if Gunn’s at the helm of a Superman movie - lol, I can’t even begin to imagine what that would look like but it’s going to be a travesty for sure.
And honestly? The fact that they STILL plan to release The Flash just makes me so sick to my stomach that I can’t even begin to care about the so-called DCU future, and this is coming from somebody who is a huge Michael Keaton fan and was SO excited to see him reprise his role.

Post Hell Dean in Supernatural can kiss my arse. Dislike.
-
Da Vinci’s Demons really feels like it takes place in a TTRPG or MU.

I don’t care about The Last Of Us. The games or the show. It’s not my thing.
However, a reaction channel I really like is doing the series, and I just got to the Nick Offerman episode. I wept. Ugly-cried. May have actually made myself sick from crying, but that’s probably a coincidence. And I would do it all over again because despite being wrung out like a kitchen sponge, I am in awe of the craft on display. As someone who only knows Nick Offerman’s comedy chops, I am awed by three tiny but profound pieces of acting that I had no idea were in him: the “huh?”, the giggle, and the face he makes on the couch. This man should have Golden Globes. Oscars. Probably a Nobel of some kind.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go drink something fortified with electrolytes.

@GF If you want some more Offerman dramatic roles, check out Devs.

That human is a treasure.

the giggle
That is my favorite part of his “acting”, or him as a human. I cannot express with words the joy that giggle brings me.

An author I follow on Fbook said it was one of the best episodes of television they’d ever seen, and I usually take that kind of talk with a big grain of salt even from people I admire but like…wow.
Even if you’re not a fan of zombie/survival genre stuff, the third episode is absolutely wonderful. A really powerful and very unexpected romance that yeah, will leave you ugly-crying by the end.

I’m watching Supernatural (yes, I know, but I didn’t watch TV then!) and I am just NOT OKAY with Evil!god!Castiel!!!

BOBBBBYYYYY!!!
-
@junipersky lol I’m just finally watching this show from beginning to end (I missed the last couple of seasons)!
-
My last post is just going to be a series of “wait WHAT”
And it continues as two characters I cried over are back but it is all WRONG still!!!
-
Boardwalk Empire never finished it I have now! So good!
-
Money Heist
I watch it in Spanish with subtitles on because I enjoy hearing them swear with such spicy musicality. However, I am also now obsessed with this English language version of the main song its plot features.
-
@Kestrel I thought the first season was fantastic.
-
The spouse and I have gotten hooked on Attack on Titan. I’m having a really hard time not spoilering myself on the mysteries of the show. Husbando and I can sometimes spot the plot twists as they come up but we honestly didn’t catch what happened to the lead’s dad until about ten minutes before the reveal. Even though we should have cause they planted the seeds of it about ten episodes back.

I have earned the “Binged” achievement for this already.

The third season of The Mandalorian is seriously good.
I love what they did with the show right when I’d expect it to dip in quality or rehash the same themes - but no. It’s stepped up the world-building big time, and constructed a really engaging outlook on what the galaxy ruled by a fledgling New Federation - as well as its parts which are not - are like, and what they feel like.
It’s also done a great job balancing the politics and long-view of where things are going with the shorter adventures those shellheads get to have while they’re at it. Really good stuff.
Also, the guest stars!
