The Boys was so good and I am so disappointed with the Amazon animated thing (Diabolical). Seth Rogan is involved. Not sure if that was good or bad. But the first episode was Looney tunes and the last is important for the story of Boys overall.

The HBO pirate thing is probably a loser but did watch the first 3 episodes while on my bike.

Watched the premier of Winning Time on HBO last night...I think it's pretty good. If you like Adam McKay stuff you'll like this.

I love McKay's style and voice but...was a little underwhelmed with the first episode. May need to give it a little bit to grow on me.

I like his stuff too; for some reason I've had low expectations for this so that's probably why I liked it. I felt the same about Ballers when that was on.

Decent pilot. Established the characters and premise with enough jokes to make it worth it. Will be checking out subsequent episodes and report back.

I was sleepy and beer buzzed on Sunday night and I think my viewing of the first episode of Our Flag Means Death and the first 1/3 or so of the first episode of Winning Time may have suffered for it. I watched the rest it the Winning Time episode today and really liked it. Reilly is fantastic.

This is pretty freakin good.

It's also what Monte Python should've accomplished with Yellowbeard.

Never heard of Yellowbeard..so went to wiki
Wikipedia wrote:Peter Cook remembered "It all started when Keith Moon, Sam Peckinpah, Graham Chapman and myself were dining at Trader Vic's. Keith suggested doing a movie about pirates and we were all discussing it and being enthusiastic, when I saw Sam, who was too tired to actually go to the lavatory, relieving himself in the artificial palm tree by the table. It was then that I thought the whole thing was rather unlikely to get off the ground."

Despite being a young, stoned Python fanatic when I saw it, that movie was pretty damn bad.

I want to watch, but I'm not paying for another channel. Seriously you guys. I mean it! Comcast does an "every channel for free" week once or twice a year and I'll wait until that comes along and I'll try to binge it then.
Success! We managed to watch all 10 episodes across this past Fri-Mon.

We really liked it, though I thought the 2021 plot went ever so slightly off the rails the last episode or two. Melanie Lynskey won an award over the weekend for her performance on the show and that seems pretty deserved to me.

This is a spoof on ManU switching uniforms at halftime during a game in the 90's. Their 3rd kit was grey and blended into the crowd, players said they couldn't spot each other on the field so they switched blue at halftime.

I am…I agree on the uniqueness factor. I’m dying to see where it goes next and ends up. Plus the concept of the central theme is a fascinating discussion point.

Is anyone watching the new season of Top Chef (in Houston this time)?

The challenge this past week was pretty cool. 2 person teams, making two dishes that look the same but taste totally different. Interesting idea.
[+] spoiler
I'm surprised how well the chef who lost his sense of smell and taste because of Covid is doing.

That book blew me away. I read it more that 15 years ago and just recommended it to someone yesterday. Is the show going to focus on the murder only, or go into the history of the Mormonism as well? I was more interested in the historical aspect, but the murder makes a lot more sense as a min-series. Either way, I'll check it out.

Yeah, we're watching. Seemed like a really cool challenge, the judges had a lot of fun with it too. Tom especially.

Living in SLC like you do, I can understand that.

Having grown up 25 miles from the Utah border among lots of LDS, I get it, too.
