Movies/TV worth watching (or at least discussing)

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little messed up maybe, but it’s funny how, I mean funny like it’s a clown, it amuses you? It makes you laugh, it’s here to {mumble} amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How is it funny?

[JasonEvans]

I am sorry, I did not mean this to be a guessing game because I really am not allowed to talk about it. The program is a sitcom with multiple episodes and a ton of recognizable faces from sitcom history. And it is just funny with several moments in each of the first two episodes where my entire family (wife, son-20, and son-23) was laughing out loud so much that we had to pause and rewind because we had missed portions of the scenes due to our laughter. I need to watch a few more episodes to be sure but I think this is going to be extremely popular.

Have they done anything to keep the copies from getting around?

The entire Star Gate TV series is on Amazon Prime. All 10 seasons of SG1, all five of SG: Atlantis and both of the seasons of Star Gate: Universe.

Good stuff!

Love me some SG, but right now the best scifi series on Prime is The Expanse. Amazing casting, amazing acting, amazing effects. High quality all the way around. As with most streaming series (it started on tv but moved to Prime) each season is only around 10 episodes, so you'll be through the whole thing in a blink...and craving for season 6 to hurry up.

No pressure on you. But we don't have much else to discuss!

Well I got the trailer for "Space Force" on Netflix from IMDB today - could that be it? I was kind of disappointed by the trailer, but it definitely has some recognizable sitcom faces in it that I like.

Netflix just loads it onto your Netflix account, so rather than a DVD, I stream it like any other Netflix title. I have to type in a special code to get to it and while I am watching, the email address associated with my Netflix account is burned into the screen. So, if I were to try to record it and spread it around, Netflix would have no trouble telling who it came from.

When I streamed How To Make a Girl earlier this week, it also had my name displayed periodically on the screen to discourage illegal sharing. I's say at least 75% of studios do that kind of thing for anything that is streamed. But, the physical DVDs I get during the end of year awards season are not individually marked. I think it is just a lot harder to do that with a mass produced DVD versus a digital stream. It is my understanding that physical DVDs will soon be a thing of the past in the awards world. Everyone is going to streaming as it is more cost effective and easier to protect from piracy.

I really hope this is it because I loved the office and am a huge Steve Carrell fan. It has a good cast and production team and the subject matter could be hilarious. Fingers crossed🤞

Knowing you are his biggest fan, Steve would like you to leave out one of those "r"s.

You know when I typed that I thought to myself it only had one r but then I thought it didn't look right. Then I was too lazy to look it up. Thanks for the correction though😎

It's not DBR if you don't get corrected for correct name spelling.

Hah, hah! So, if you have spent ANY time on either Carolina coast, this show pisses you off. It is definitely not the Outer Banks, it's South Carolina. We have family a bit north of Charleston and it just annoys the crap out of us that it's called OBX but nowhere close to Duck or Wilmington or wherever it's based on.

Also, the dudes in the show are NOT southern coastal boys. Not even close. They should be in San Diego.

Other than that, the show also sucks.

I mean, it’s a teen drama that’s not meant for adults to love. That’s like saying you dislike paw patrol.

Heck, I'm restless for Season Five.

Whoa, shots fired! How dare you imply I dislike Paw Patrol!


Eh, most of my Outerbanks complaints are related to it completely whiffing on capturing the people and places of its namesake. It would be like if Paw Patrol were about a band of police parrots.

Wouldn't that be Caw Patrol?

If you like Paw Patrol, you will need to get your brain examined because that show is about as bad as it gets. My kids love it and I just can’t wait till they are too old to want to watch it!

My son is 4 months old so I'm mentally psyching myself up to go all in on Paw Patrol in a few years. Figured best to start now. Maybe you're doing the same thing with Outerbanks for when your children hit their teenage years? There is some appealing teenage eye candy and the lead always wears a scarf around his neck, which is cool, and really sets him apart as a rebel.

You're going to get yourself all prepared for Paw Patrol, and then the hot show for kids in a few years will be something totally different and all that preparation will be for nothing.

Hopefully it's Brevity's new show. I'm intrigued by this crime-fighting band of parrots.

Exactly. My kids are finally leaving this stage. Paw Patrol was fairly tolerable. Daniel Tiger (a Mr. Rogers spin-off) was my favorite as they were teaching something (though the fact that Daniel wears pants to sleep but not the rest of the time always got me!). We went through some long Thomas phases which were challenging. Most shows on regular TV try to have at least some redeeming educational value, though on some shows it is easier to find than on others.

Some of the new Youtube crap is what really gets me. This kid Ryan and his insufferable parents make tens of millions of dollars and are totally moronic.
