The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Page has been very vocal about gender and sexuality issues and rights for a long time. So in a way I think that helps because it makes this announcement part of a broader narrative.

So I don’t know who watches The Simpsons anymore, but I was definitely worried when I heard they were doing an episode about Cincinnati. I figured it would be 30 minutes of making fun of it, but I was wrong. It was surprisingly accurate in that Simpsons sort of way, and it wasn’t deprecating at all (ok, maybe a little), it was almost complimentary. Like, this is what the riverfront actually looks like:

And this place is iconic:

On the other hand, Futurama did NOT write a love letter to Atlanta:

Amazing hahahahaha.

I was just rethinking his previous roles and feeling a little giddy at us reshaping our memories of his greatest works.

Juno was a commanding performance about a pregnant teenage girl by a trans man.

The best Kitty Pride came from a trans man.

Hard Candy takes on a new layer when that character is seen as a trans man. Or at least played by a trans man.

Hype!

This right after the Eliot Page posts made me think we needed to boycott Chapelle because of some anti-trans commentary he made. Little did I know it’s not that at all!

I’m a few episodes behind. This gives me an incentive to catch up.

Caught up Mando S2, doesn’t seem like a lot of people itt are watching?

In general, I think it’s about as good as Star Wars can get. S2E5 alone has more compelling LS combat than anything in the last 3 movies put together. Am I supposed to hate baby Yoda’s name or something? It’s not great but at least it’s not fucking ā€˜snoke’ or Count Doodoo. Love the variety of worlds and species being explored. A bordering on A+. I’m not any kind of expanded universe reader, but I’m pumped for Thrawn.

Can’t help but read about some of the spoilers and look forward to watching it. I don’t pay for D+ though, so no idea when I’ll be able to catch up.

Y’all good with splitting Mando into its own thread? No need for you to use spoilers there with such detailed discussion.

Just saw couple episodes of Schitt’s Creek and I wondered is this supposed to be funny? Feels like Arrested Development with a down syndrome and lobotomia.
