The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Even though I star in Cobra Kai, I just finally got around to watching it. On Season 2 right now. What I can say about this show is that they take karate REALLY seriously in that town. I mean:

Kreese comes back and is basically like, ā€œYou and meā€¦weā€™re gonna rule the world with teenage karate students.ā€

Just bought a ticket to Mike Birbigliaā€™s ā€œWorldwide Pizza Partyā€ comedy show via Zoom for Sunday night. Iā€™ve never done any of these virtual show things, so Iā€™m looking forward to it.

Watched the first episode of Solar Opposites season 2 during my lunch break. Outstanding.

Oh, please review. He has some of the most unique comedy shows out there. The New One is much more like a one man show than a stand up special. He is incredibly talented.

Gonna have to watch this. Iā€™ve steered clear because R&M S4 wasnt really my cup of tea, and Iā€™ve gotten a bit tired of the schtick and expected more of the same here. But I trust your judgement and will have to check it out.

Speaking of people whoā€™s media judgement I trust, I really miss Risky. I hope he is ok. I know one of the things he was doing was stepping away from forums/social media for a while so I hope thatā€™s the only reason we havent heard from him lately.

Itā€™s got some zany shit, but itā€™s different than R&M. Itā€™s moreā€¦wholesome? Maybe thatā€™s not the right word, but itā€™s close.

I agree that R&M season 4 had some clunkers. Solar Opposites is significantly better.

And the Solar Opposites first episode is the weakest one. If youā€™re not entertained by the second one, itā€™s probably not for you.

Last seen 3 hours ago so heā€™s lurking.

Those whole KK premise is based on the idea you have this huge arena of people who come out to watch high-school kids do full-contact karate fighting with each other and thatā€™s supposed to be a totally normal thing that happens in America. I remember even when I was a kid that seemed a bit off.

We watch kids do karate on TV but not in real life.

Ironic.

Solar opposites is the cleveland show of r&m.

Watch Supergirl instead.

Do you love CW teen dramas?

s2e3 was a direct rip off of ā€œthe vat of acid episodeā€ except that they couldnā€™t attract Idris Elba or Signourney Weaver to play themselves for 5 lines.

I liked episode 2 of Falcon and Winter Soldier better than the first episode. They are not subtle with the racism theme at all. This time a cop was racist. Who will be racist in episode 3?

The truly interesting scene was right before that, with Isaiah Bradley. They are taking from a discontinued/out of print comic line that was Marvelā€™s take on the Tuskegee experiments.

I see HBO has a 90 minute documentary on Rudy Gobert day.

I am just 12 minutes into the ā€œSeaspiracyā€ documentary on netflix and I already want to nuke Japan. Lets see how tough to swallow the whole piece gets.

Edit: So the documentary took quite a turn to all fishery is bad or has a devastating influence on the oceans. I already knew that the EU is plundering Africaā€™s fishing grounds. Basically all the labels seem to be useless as well. Anything else is probably better in the environment thread.
