Was just watching The Player last night. Fred Ward has a nice supporting role as Studio Head of Security. Perfectly cast - he's gruffly excellent.

This just in: Norm Macdonald is still dead!

But he has a new standup special coming to Netflix on May 30th!

Read all about it!

Enjoying it as well (through episode 7 so far). Well done, trippy, and pretty cringey at times. Always the possibility it could go down a Lost hole, (like WestWorld), but hopefully that won't happen....

That ^^^ is an amazingly good edit! The soundtrack really works well with the fantastic visual imagery!

The Reddit clip may be, but what I heard was not. And it was like the sound in the clip.
