Some of the content was questionable and there were a few times I wondered if it was just acting or questionable and felt like a horrible person if it was the latter. So, them getting rid of that would be good.

The Cruise Missile went off on the crew of Mission Impossible: Covid Protocol
You can hear the audio at this link but it's not safe for work:
Raging Tom Cruise warns film crew they're 'f***ing gone' if Covid rules broken

Just curious what do you do for internet? Would love to eventually get rid of my tv service especially if they continue to hike up rates
I have the same internet service == Spectrum (formerly Time Warner, Paragon, Manhattan Cable). Fortunately I have never bundled anything, so my internet service was never affected by any of the changes or suspected data capping.
So I think this is the best thread for this but feel free to move it elsewhere. This has bothered me for a while.
Can someone who knows comedy tell me if "who's on first", the Abbott and Costello routine is legit funny or just funny because it's so old and back then this was some amazing humor? The concept is funny to me but when you purposely name your characters fake names just so that they make the punchline work it's amateurish at best to me. Reminds me of a joke I once heard a kid say where he named the main character in the joke "butt itches" and then the punchline was "oh no, my butt itches! So scratch it!"

You're really over thinkin this. Make emotional love, don't sweat the technique, and chill.

This joke is 90% about delivery, not content.

I binged "The Wilds" on Amazon over the past few days. Not terrible. Not one of my favorite shows ever but not too shabby either. Could be worth a watch for some.

I saw the first episode and it was pretty gory. Otherwise I will definitely continue to watch it.
On a separate note. The Flight Attendant finale while predictable - it absolutely didn't disappoint.
I'm watching "the Ripper" right now, pretty good. Feel's like Britain's Bundy. Around the same time too.

The thing that is meh about Your, Honor is the suspension of belief you need to watch the show. I know people have done what the kid did in real life plenty of times. That said, the comedy of errors in the sequences following are quite ridiculous.
I first saw it when I was a kid and I still crack up when I see it. It was brilliantly written and I can't think of anyone who could have delivered it better than Abbott & Costello. It's definitely a timeless classic. Never thought of it as "old".
The bit with the dog was definitely far-fetched...my thought at the time was "why am I not surprised"....

Its amazing how a TV series is everything the sequel trilogy should have been.
Mandalorian is the third best property in the SW universe. Up there with the Original Trilogy, and Rogue One.
Mando and RO are in the same spirt. Using secondary characters to back-fill the events of the main story.

Finally watched the finale of the Flight Attendant last night and it had a satisfying ending...glad I watched the series
Your Honor has me looking forward to the next episode which is all one can ask. As I mentioned previously, Cranston gives off a bit of a Walter White vibe in this series which is just fine with me.

I watched season one of The Wire last week....yes It is old but it was also pretty good I thought . I'm into season 2 now . It and The Honor should almost hold me over until hockey returns .

It's much better than I thought it would be. I'm glad that the types of shows that I like are being made for TV now. TV could never do fantasy/sci-fi like this justice with the lower budget it usually had in previous decades but the production value on The Mandalorian, The Boys and Stranger Things is really good. The tech on the Mandalorian in particular is really impressive especially when you see how much of it is shot inside.
I'm also really looking forward to the Obi-Wan series. I thought Ewan McGregor was very good as Obi-Wan in the prequels despite weak scripts and direction from Lucas so I'm interested in seeing what he can do working with different writers and directors.
