The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Speaking of How To episode 4, question for anyone who’s seen it and I Think You Should Leave

Did Tim Robinson name the “T.C. Tuggers” shirts after the “TLC Tugger”? Seems like something he might have known about, either independently or because those comedy guys hang out and trade stories and whatnot.

I’ve no idea who this Lasso fellow is, but I came across his show following clips of this street musician and wow

i kinda get the rotten tomatoes hate, but still enjoyed first episode of The Romanoffs.

Per Netflix, the synopsis for “Death to 2020” reads: “2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of ‘Black Mirror’ couldn’t make it up…but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a little something to add. ‘Death to 2020’ is a comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was — and perhaps still is? This landmark documentary-style special weaves together some of the world’s most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage spanning the past 12 months.”

Is the girl from the new IT movies in that?

I got a subscription a couple of months ago. I’m not a major film buff but I think it’s great. I watched Paths of Glory at the weekend. Great movie.

I like French films and there are tons of great ones on there.

I’ve never watched any Japanese films before, but started Seven Samurai last night. Very good so far!

I found this article useful for suggestions:

Warched the latest season of Archer and loved it. The end was excellent and I’m pretty excited for the next season.

I’m on the 4th season of Archer now and it’s pretty great. Does the quality stay pretty good? That’s a lot of seasons to stay consistent.

We survived it but we were close to shutting it down a few times. Definitely not watching a second season, this one was a real slog. When it’s done and you look back on it you realize there’s barely enough story there for a 2 hour movie but somehow they stretch it out to 8 episodes.

Hello Wipers! Are you or any relation to our single unit Wiper?

Nope, no relation. It’s just a play on my real name. If it’s too close to another user I don’t mind switching it up if the mods can change it.

Season 5 changes it up quite a bit. Some people really love that season, others hate it for changing the formula. Without getting too spoilery, this is a show that is willing to take some chances in future seasons. I happen to enjoy all seasons, but I know not everyone shares my tastes.

First 7 seasons are great. From there skip to season 10 and skim through to the last two episodes. Then pick up season 11.

Not a problem at all, just an ice breaker to say hello

I tired out of the formula after a few seasons (I think I finally quit around season 6) but if you’re still finding it funny then maybe you will continue to.

That’s a list of almost everything we watched for film class in the English department. I haven’t gone back and rewatched, but I loved Godard (Breathless and Vivre Sa Vie) and Truffaut when I watched them over a decade ago. A lot of Crtierion is available on Kanopy (free with your public library card).

I would be okay with this 100 square ft apartment

It’s not super common, but they do exist, especially in what used to be tenement apartments in New York. Space was at a premium, putting in plumbing (to conform to laws that required apartments be retrofitted to provide running water) was expensive, so they just threw a tub or shower wherever they could.
