What are you watching?

Watched The Fog last Night after reading the comments here. It was great. Thanks! Horrors aren’t usually my thing, but I can feel a John Carpenter period coming on. As an added bonus it was filmed around Point Reyes which we know well, so lots of great memories of camping trips and riding.

It is very slow, with little but interesting dialogue. And beautiful scenery, impeccably shot.

Queer is set in 50s Mexico City, painstakingly recreated in sets and clothing, but features Prince 17 Days and Nirvana ‘come as you are’ on the soundtrack. Why not have a guy walking down the street in a shellsuit too, or have a Tesla truck drive past?

The Studio - watched the mushroom chocolate episode last night and we were howling :joy:

We watched it two nights ago too. We were in stitches too.

a while back i got to talk to robin urdang - she was the music supervisor for the marvelous mrs. maisel. i thought she did an amazing job of “right song, right time” and i really liked how the music during the epsiodes were “of the era” and the credits tracks weren’t - they’d close out with “dear madam barnum” by XTC or “a girl in trouble is a temporary thing” by romeo void.

anachronistic, but compelling.

Partridge lost its edge ever since Armando Ianucci left the writing team (although the Scissored Isle was pretty good). Couldn’t get through the new series.

I think its as good as ever.

Not really kept up with all the newer stuff, but the early seasons are genius and his audiobook is a work of art. The first two seasons of The Trip are also very good imo. Didn’t get through the other seasons.

Addicted to it, a well stacked 'sleb line up as well (I actually know who they are).
Hilairious watching Alan Carr as a traitor who’s barely keeping it together.

Started watching Wayward with Toni Collette, quite disturbing stuff so far!! Collette is a brilliant actor.
