Star Wars: The Acolyte trailer looks amazing
I think my most anticipated show of 2024 remains The Acolyte. It shot to number one the moment that it was announced back in 2020. It’s taken four long years, but we are finally here. The Acolyte comes out this June. Continue reading Star Wars: The Acolyte trailer looks amazing
#ThrowbackThursday What’s on the box tonight? Well, if it’s 1951 where you are, it’s “The Buster Keaton Show”
Love seeing Alex when I’m eating my dinner.
Everything I’m Going to Watch in November: The End is Extremely Fucking Nigh
Hello friends,
Welcome. Settle In. We have much to discuss.
For long we have waded in the waters of peak tv, pushing forward against the rising tide of content, surging through the riptide of originals the gush from seemingly every corner of the internet and cable-sphere. We have kept our faces above the waterline, arm-in-arm with our fellows, attempting to absorb and share what is worthwhile, picking out pearls from the churning surf.
But, despite our labors, we weary waders are helpless in the face of the growing Tsunami waves of the Pluses and the Maxes building on the horizon. The time has come, friends, to make hard desperate choices if we want to continue to watch and blog and survive. We must choose now what we want to watch, and how we will watch it, lest we are swept away, never to surface again.
IN CONCLUSION - I am not getting Apple Plus.
It’s not personal! It is simply self-preservation.
The reviews for the new AP shows range from “bad” to “fine”, and that is simply not enough to get me to add another streaming service. Maybe one day, but today is not that day. If i WAS going to watch an Apple+ show it would probably be For All Mankind aka the “fine” show.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s talk about some other stuff.
LAST MONTH-
Watchmen took big swings, I am into it. Also love the look and the dedication to major American musicals of the 20th century.
Catherine the Great - Watched 20 minutes of this and found it to be so paint-by-numbers I turned it right back off!
Silicon Valley - Forgot to watch it and was just reminded by own blog!
You know what I did start watching? Money Heist on Netflix. It is a GOOD time! And it has hot Spanish actors that are new to me! Pls praise me for starting a new scripted show and not another season of Love Island!
Phew all that and we haven’t even gotten to NOVEMBER.

His Dark Materials (9pm on HBO)
Based on the fantasy YA book series of the same name, and some of my favorite books ever. Like I love these books more than Harry Potter. Like I-named-my-boy-cat-Pan-and-DIDN’T-name-my-girl-cat-Lyra-because-I-am-saving-that-name-for-my-HUMAN-child love these books. Fans have been waiting a long time for a non-shit adaptation of this beautiful work and HOPEFULLY this is it!!! The cast is on point, the color-palette is rich, the CGI looks good- all the pieces are there! Also if you haven’t read these books I highly recommend you do so, there is so much for adults as well as youths. Um but yeah, it’s a fantasy series set in a world very much like ours, except part of your soul exists outside your body as an animal! And there are witches! And warrior polar bears! And complicated issues of morality, maturation, and free will! Get into it!

The Mandalorian (Disney +)
Okay you got me, the reason I am subscribing to Disney+ is to see a live action Star Wars television show. I don’t know what to tell you, except that I am loyal to my IPs. No one really knows anything about this except it cost a truck load of money and it’s Star Wars, but isn’t that enough??

Dollface (Hulu)
Kat Dennings attempts to rebuild the female friendships she let stagnate during a long term relationship. Yeah, she’s that girl. This would be an otherwise unremarkable comedy, but per the trailer it looks like it’s attempting a quirky / meta vibe which might be fun. Hulu did such a good job with Shrill earlier this year, perhaps they are capable of creating another non-terrible female driven comedy. Not a guarantee.

The Crown (Netflix)
THEY’RE BACK BABY! It’s a new decade and new cast for The Crown, with Olivia-freakin-Colman taking over the title from reigning champ Claire Foy. This lush monarchy drama is one of my all times favs because there is nothing I love more than British actors giving pointed looks in period dress! This season also introduces a more adult Charles (and Camilla!) which means we are really getting to the Good Stuff. Only five-ish more seasons until Princess Duchess Meghan!!
Lots to be excited about this month as we slog slowly and inevitably towards the end of the year. I plan on coasting through to Christmas on the fumes of an Olivia Colman-fueled endorphin release.

THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN ARE BACK!
YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE!
It has been 12 years since we said goodbye to the strange fictional town of Royston Vasey and the even stranger League of Gentlemen, however, today the BBC confirmed that the League of Gentlemen will be returning for three brand new specials this Autumn.
The League of Gentlemen was written and created by Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and Jeremy Dyson and ran for three successful series between 1999 and 2002 before culminating in a big screen outing in The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse in 2005.
The League of Gentlemen will return this Autumn for 3 brand new specials on the BBC.
The Bad Batch season 3 trailer features an incredible surprise
#TheBadBatch season 3 trailer features an incredible surprise #StarWars
I’ve been eagerly awaiting the trailer for season 3 of The Bad Batch, in Star Wars finally came through. And, boy oh boy, I was not expecting what I saw in that trailer.
Season 3 will wrap up a show that I initially had zero interest in when it was announced, but it hooked me from the very first episode. I never thought that Clone Force 99 would be as engaging as they have been. I can’t wait to see what happens with Omega, Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair. (RIP Tech)
Without going into any spoilers for things that I think they were trying to hide in the trailer (but I know were seen by more than just me), there’s obviously one major topic of discussion that we can’t ignore.
Asajj Ventress is back.
While we do know that Ventress died in the novel Dark Disciple, they have brought her back in some way to continue her story and add to the Bad Batch’s story.
However, according to supervising director Brad Rau, they know exactly what they’re going to do with Ventress.
“We don’t want to spoil anything, but want fans to know that any new storytelling with Ventress will align with the events of Star Wars: Dark Disciple.”
I, for one, can’t wait to see what happens.
