Paid Members Tommy! Posted December 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2018 Does anyone know when WSM is on this Christmas? Channel 5 one a day from the 26th I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I’m that fucking old, they were etched onto slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2018 Years behind the curve on this one, but because it's recently been added to Netflix, I've watched through Ash vs. Evil Dead over the past few days. It's bloody good, isn't it? It gets the balance of Ash as a quipping action hero, absolute loser, and a bit of a selfish prick exactly right, and makes him feel like a coherent character, whereas other attempts at expanding the franchise had maybe moved too far in one direction at the expense of the others. Does a really good job of expanding the mythology of the series without feeling like it's over-explaining it to the point of killing its mystery, too. Really good stuff.

Reveal hidden contents Lane hanged himself, he was so ace. I knew it was coming, but couldn't say anything. If you sit back and look at where we met him to where he ends up it's a great storyline. There are hints everywhere in that season. If you go back searching through forums you could see the speculation rampant that someone was going to commit suicide.

I thought exactly the same thing. It's really cool that his cowardly, selfish nature isn't downplayed. I thought it was tremendous! "GIVE ME MY BOOK!" I watched it at the same time as Preacher, so it was great having two of my beloved old obsessions rendered so well. Edit so I don't rile Keith, but I've been re-watching Cheers from the start. I'm up to season 9 now and it's really felt like a journey, from the 80s to the cusp of the 90s. I'm an old softie who prefers Sam/Diane to Sam/Rebecca, as there was a pathos to the former that the latter couldn't quite reach. The early episodes had the air of a stage play, almost: the handsome bar manager teaching the pretentious ingenue (hashtag Frasier) the ways of the world. Shelly Long was just fantastic. Got a tear in my eye just typing this... wouldn't you like to get away? Edited December 15, 2018 by Brewster McCloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Just finished the second series of Atlanta. What a talent Donald Glover is. Some of the finest TV I’ve ever seen in this series. running 3 episodes without your main character in it is a brave, brave move that not many people would have the balls to do. The ‘piano’ episode. Fucking hell. What a show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted December 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2018 Christmas break more or less underway now give or take a couple of short shifts so it’s boxset time. Kicking off with Peep Show. It had to end and it ended at the right time, but the early seasons of the show take some beating. Seasons 1-4 are up there with my all time favourite series for any show ever conceived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'd say it starts off pretty wild and then drops the tempo by quite a bit, as good as it is there's a lull in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
