Did you miss us?

Yeah, we took the week off. But we’re back with two new shows. We recorded a special episode dedicated to the great Billy Wilder and did a Shorty on another of our favorite directors, David Cronenberg. We also came up with a unique way to hang out with fam during COVID!

Fall is here. We’re still in the house.

Who’da thunk it?? Six months of this shit. But at least the new TV season starts, and we are excited about some of the new shows coming. Next week we will probably talk about Ratched, so watch along with us. It premieres on Friday, September 18.

In the mean time, we love-

Perpetual Grace

Another big winner from Epix, Perpetual Grace, is an offbeat 10 episode series the boasts a stellar cast, including Ben Kingsley (Gandhi), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook), and Damon Herriman (Mr. Inbetween.)

And there we fuckin’ go!

Since we couldn’t seem to get Pa’s rhythm during the show, as promised, here’s an example.

Away

This is Us… in space?

Away is a Netflix family drama with a twist. Mom is on a 3 year trip to Mars. Away boasts good performances from Hilary Swank and Josh Charles and a solid supporting cast including a stand out performance from Mark Ivanir (Barry Homeland.) It’s a good binge to occupy the time between Ratched and Fargo!
