Occult Demon Cassette’s collection of Christian Bible Belt VHS tapes.

Oh boy, those tapes think some supernatural force is the answer to every single problem.

And the usual misinterpretations or mistranslations of Nostradamus.

I finally started watching it. It's, eh, you know, mediocre. Slightly funny sometimes.

Christmas episodes these days feel underwhelming or something. Maybe because so many shows do it to some form of template storyline. There are only a few that stand out, like Black Mirror, White Christmas.

Yes, the episode where a copy of a criminal's mind is left in a simulated version of the crime scene with I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day playing on the radio repeatedly for 1,000 simulated years for every real-life minute, for the entire holiday. :twisted:

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Tracked down an old favorite on some streaming thing, ER. Very well written show with quirky characters and many amusing moments. 330 odd episodes. A welcome change from modern shows with a couple of 10 episode seasons and that's your lot.

Guidance: some profanity in the video.

Yet another gimmicky transport system that could be easily solved by classic public transport methods… but then again, the United States is a nation of the car, with suburbs laid out for the car.

Kaleidoscope. I liked it. It’s pretty decent script writing. You can watch it in any order.

Getting close to finishing Woman and the Dead. A little predictable but it was ok.

And the last episode of Willow (Willowdale would be a better name).

Troupes galor. New cringy phrase. He is eternal BITCH!

Hopefully; they don’t renew.

I think the idea of not renewing the season should apply to The Simpsons as well, because all the characters are so Flanderised now and it feels like they have run out of jokes.

The movie was the same as the series? Hmmm not really. The movie really didn’t try to mix modern comments into the discussion. There wasn’t edgy pithy teenage banter and relationship talk like with the CW ie Riverdale.

Ron at least tried to make it look like a fantasy world. Willowdale? blue jeans and a leather outback hat, slow dancing like at a bar, dating talk blah blah blah.

Willow looked like he was neutered. Madmartigan lite was introduced in a cool way and made you think “ok what did he do????” He quickly turned into lame humor boy.

Well at least the Simpsons have the excuse of going for 30 years.

Willow? Waited 34 years for this?
