OT: 80th Obsequious Banter Thread: Do You Believe In Miracles?

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Anyone ever watch ZeroZeroZero on Amazon Prime?

Just started watching this and it’s incredible. It’s about massive shipment of cocaine and the players involved in Italy, Mexico, America, etc.

Ja, I have watched it and it is pretty good.

Now I want you to listen to me, Ted. I listen to you and respect your thoughts about hockey - it is time for you to do that with my opinions about TV. Not for me - it doesn't do anything for me - but for yourself. I am going to give you a priceless gift right now.

"Gomorrah" - Italian crime series. Made by some of the same people who made "Zero Zero Zero," but infinitely better. INFINITELY, Ted. I'm not exaggerating. In fact, the only series in the history of television that is on its level is "Deadwood" (with "The Sopranos" probably the next closest, but still some distance back). I don't know where you can get it - I got it through torrents. But find it and watch it. Now. I have tried to tell everyone this, but no one takes me seriously, which is understandable. This time I am super, duper cereal.

Gomorrah is on HBO Max. I have this. I’m going to watch it for sure now. I’ve heard it’s incredible and I recall you mentioning it before. I’m kind of in a show hole so Gomorrah sounds like the perfect way to fix that.

 

[Rebels57]

Just watched Judas and the Black Messiah. Phew, hell of a movie. Harrowing, but excellent.

Good looking out Ted. I just got HBO Max to watch Gomorrah. Had no clue it was on there.

On that note, is there anything anyone would consider "must watch" on HBO Max right now?

Doom Patrol but only if you like weird. It isn't a superhero show. Last time I looked, the seasons were both >95% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Action Park doc was pretty good too.

 

[Embiid]

Lol..

Conspiracy theorists are actually trying to claim that the snow in Texas is fake

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Not WW84, i'll say that.

I recommend the Maradona documentary also The Dissident. The movie The White Tiger was good too

Mogwai does the score too.

Yeah I binge watched it. It was good...

Takes place in Calabria and Monterrey Mexico...two places I have been a bunch of times.

@Captain Dave Poulin you need to get theses! T-Rex arms!

I know, I was already informed about those. I put them on my list for Santa.

Never heard of Doom Patrol, but looks great. I'm all about weird.

Action Park doc was awesome. I knew about it before the doc came out because I used to snowboard at Mountain Creek every weekend back in the day, but never knew just how insane the place truly was. Just a giant death trap.

I survived Action Park...but got no T shirt for doing so...just some nasty burn marks all over my arms and legs from the alpine slide.

Has anyone seen The Little Things yet? We saw it over the weekend. Enjoyed it.

 

[Hurricane28]

Kill this idea with fire.

 

[Ben Grimm]

I've started investing in income and I really like it. My account was up 1.44% today.

Murder at Middle Beach - docuseries

Judas and the Black Messiah - movie (drama)

Search Party - tv series (dark comedy)

WW84 - just kidding it f***ing sucked

Havent heard anything good about it so ive been hesitant to give it a shot.

The target audience, children, will enjoy it i'm sure. It's not for us lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Murder at Middle Beach - docuseries

Was that the one made by the son of the woman who was murdered? If so, yes this was good.

Indeed

Edit: Its crazy how many legit suspects there are

WW84 - just kidding it f***ing sucked

WW84 was the worst movie I've ever seen and it was not close. It hurts that I didn't see it in a movie theatre but thats just how times are right now. And its a shame because I generally like Gal Gadot and am a huge fan of Pedro Pascal. Pascal's character I generally liked too as poorly written as it was.

He's an extremely charismatic actor.

One of the biggest clusterf***s i've ever seen. I cant even believe it. It makes the 1st Wonder Woman look like Citizens Kane by comparison.

I too enjoy Gadot and Pascal...but so should everyone.
