Anybody else watch Locke and Key?

It's a YA tv show on Netflix about kids who move into a house that has magical keys that have different powers (very much so a nod to Narnia and it is even brought up). I quite enjoyed it! It definitely has its moments of "not even teenagers are this stupid" reasoning about certain actions, but all in all a very visually impressive (I'm assuming) cheap t.v. show for Netflix.

Kept me entertained throughout and waiting for the second season


Yep. And you described it perfectly. It’s got some flaws, but it was good fun.

I started it, but after having read the comic it was way too drawn out YA teen-angst for me.

Okay, I've been sitting on this because I figured one of you idiot box slaves would have mentioned it by now, but I guess I have to due the heavy lifting and drop something to get the discussion started.

So, there is going to be a Fallout series (based on the video game franchise, obvi Posted Image) done by the people who did Westworld. Ok, that's a succinct tease... now go! Say something about it, please.

An ongoing tv show based on a video game is a horrible idea.

You're welcome.

Netflix kept recommending me Korean Dramas...so I finally decided to give one a shot (googled what some of the best ones are). Checked out MR. SUNSHINE...A period piece that takes place early in the 20th century, as Japan occupies Korea.

And it's fucking unbelievably amazing. From score, to sets, to cinematography, to costuming, to acting...it's so damned good. If all K-Dramas are this good, I'm in for a treat. MR. SUNSHINE is 24 episodes on it's own, so I'm good for a while anyways.

Wondered what the hype was....was satisfied with the answer. Like Hollywood stuff isn't this good.

And I’m also totally lost on who is who on the last bit of Ep 1. Things went over my head or I just wasn’t looking maybe.

5 mins 12 secs into Ep 2.


I got a bit lost too, and looked up some stuff to clarify.

spoilers for Ep1

You'll also get a better handle on the characters as it goes on to be honest. I'm done Episode 3 now and I'm even more into this than I was before. Great show! Hope you continue to enjoy it.

Have watched Epstein 1-3. It’s really boring.


I heard the doc doesn't dive deep enough into things to be really interesting. There are a few podcasts that cover the subject with much more aplomb.

Because poverty and partying warps people's brains.

How do you think cycles of abuse keep going without some real heavy denial, backsliding, and "we're pulling you back in"?

I'm watching Snowpiercer. I like it. Haven't read the book. Jennifer Connelly needs a few hearty meals though.

I really enjoyed the movie Snowpiercer. It is excellent. When I heard there was going to be a television series, I was fan boy excited. I couldn't get into the television show though, and I really wanted to. It seemed like it was going to be a season long (10 hour long episodes) to get to the bottom of a murder. In fact, it seemed like the show might actually end on a cliff hanger and continue the mystery into the second season. I stopped watching after episode 3.

Yes, Jennifer Connelly is shockingly, to a disturbing degree, very skinny. Like there is possibly a disorder there, yeah?

The spoiler only spoils a teeny bit and doesn't give anything major away.

Finished MR. SUNSHINE. It was really solid throughout, a bit overly slow at parts (but then the whole show was a slow burn intentionally), but the drama and history and acting really hammered it home into a solid thing. The last few eps are harrowing, and the ending was really well done.

Up next in the K-Drama category, probably ITAEWON CLASS, which gets really high marks from people...and it's not historical, as I feel I need a break before KINGDOM because I need as more modern show for now.

Son loves Mr Sunshine. Surprised. Even in its serious moments he is pretty tuned into it.


They make even mild shit so epic...like that one episode ends with Gua-dong (Korean samurai guy) gripping Ae-Shin's dress bottom on a dutch camera angle and the rain is slow-mo dropping behind them while the music is crazy ominous...it's super epic for no reason, and I loved it.

Finally got around to watching the last season of Preacher. The prior season was pretty lame, but this last season has been the bees knees. So much absurd has been going down my head is spinning.

If there ever is a live-action MBoTF series, the actor who plays Herr Starr would be a perfect Kallor.
