    "The Beach Bum"... not on Netflix but on Hulu. Essentially, it's Fear and Loathing in Key West. Some might say it's Mathew McConaughey simply just playing himself but I think the film reaches beyond that. Can take it at face value or enjoy the movie as something surrealistic over the last hour. Supporting cast with Snoop Dog, Jimmy Buffet, Zac Efron, George Clinton, Isla Fisher, and Martin Lawrence.

    The Laundromat is kind of all over the place. Huge cast, solid director, and interesting story, yet the movie fails. It skips through the details that matter, and dwells on things that feel irrelevant. It tries to make a complicated subject entertaining, but ends up being neither entertaining nor particularly informative.

    It clearly wants to be the Big Short, but it's a ways off the mark. I'd give it a pass.

    The King.

    Interesting retelling of Henry V. Without Shakespeare's* jingoism but more modern concerns of leaders motives and going to war over falsehoods.

    Highly recommended

    *The Falstaff character is particularly interesting twist.

    Thanks for the rec, in this topic and the other one, on Dolemite Is My Name. A mighty fine bags-to-bitches tale. Put your weight on it!!

    The End of the F***ing World S2 is out. Shocked they were able to keep it going. S1 was outstanding

    Agreed, but it certainly made me rethink the Panama Papers and intrigued me enough to now search out Secrecy World, on which it was based.

    Anyone else watching "Living With Yourself" with Paul Rudd? I've watched seven of the eight episodes. Honestly it's been a bit of a struggle to get through. Not really all that funny and only moderately interesting.

    Good info. Almost waded into that one last night. Perhaps I'll skip it.

    It has gotten good reviews, though, so maybe I'm the outlier.

    “Ad Vitum” is worth a watch.

    It’s terrible.

    I watched the whole thing and couldn’t tell you what it’s about.

    Gave up after 2 episodes. Struggle is accurate.

    Another vote for 'Dolemite is my Name'. Thought it was over, he was going to go bust, then the ending was so good. Haven't seen a movie that good in a while.

    Viva Eddie Murphy! Hope he can make a comeback with non-nutty professor-esq movies. Good to see him again.

    Brace yourself!
    While not Nutty Professor, EM's next cinematic venture is Coming To America 2...a sequel that is 32 years after the original!


    While I am hella skeptical, at least it's being directed by Craig Brewer, who directed Hustle & Flow and Dolemite Is My Name and at least it's gonna feature Wesley Snipes (who stole every scene he was part of in Dolemite Is My Name)...but other'n that I don't have very high hopes.

    Superb.

    IMO this show is right up there with some of the finest TV ever made.

    Olivia Coleman is incredible.

    Just finished Russian Doll.

    I liked it, had some very funny moments, some total mindfuck moments, and some really dark moments. Really well done.

    And while there is of course some parallel to Groundhog Day, it's completely different (in style, substance, and even quite different on the basic idea).

    SUPER DARK TIMES

    Surreal and macabre high school love triangle with rich layers of subtext and some seriously wigged out violence. Fantastic dialogue coupled with just the right amount of messed-up tweaks on familiar tropes and further enhanced with taut pacing and an hallucinatory sense of paranoia make this a keen viewing experience.

    Echo in the Canyon was good. The Byrds and stuff

    I couldn't make it out of the first scene. So much "action" it was fucking boring.

    The plot was idiotic, but the mayhem was delirious
