I watched I Like Me, the John Candy documentary. Nothing new or earth shattering, but it is definitely worth the watch. As a guy who grew up watching him, and consider Uncle Buck a masterpiece, it brought a tear to my eye. Gone way too soon.
I also watched episode one of The Chair Company and laughed a few times, but I am a Tim Robinson fan. I don't ever see him playing something straight, but I do agree some people will get tired of the same old schtick. Him and Nathan Fielder have cornered the market on that subset of comedy.
I watched I like Me and enjoyed it. The whole thing had a sad undertone to it knowing how early he was taken, even if self inflicted. It's incredible how many really rock solid movies he was in during his career. Well made documentary and worth the watch if you were a fan or are of that age.
Trying to get my way thru the current most recent season of Murders in the Building. I can't tell you how much I hate it. I'm trying to be nice to my wife and watch with her but I can't even pay attention any longer. When the show came out it was funny, original, well done etc. It's such hot garbage now. And from what I read it's going to keep going.
I believe follow up seasons to Landman and The Pitt are coming in the next 30-60ish days. Looking forward to both.
The first two seasons were stellar. Season 3 ended on a big surprise, as did the other seasons. But season 3 had a couple of weird gaps and some WTF scenes. In some characters’ relationships it seems like we missed explanatory scenes.
I did not like Kate’s abrupt change at the end.
The whole thing was odd I’m not up to the standards of the first two seasons. Have the ideas already?
We just watched the Netflix documentary Unknown Number: The High Scool Catfish. I fully recommend taking the 90 minutes to watch it. It is a real-life cyberbullying case that rocked the small community of Beal City, Michigan. In October 2020.

Wife and I love The Diplomat and couldn’t agree with you more on season 3. Liked the season overall but yeah they made some weird choices about time jumps and relationships. The middle of the season was especially odd. Again, still can’t wait for season 4 but hope it returns to the standards of season 1 and 2.

And what the actual FK was that brief scene showing the PM plowing his wife? WHY???????????
How did that advance the plot or any character development? I feel like Phoebe on Friends shouting.”My Eyes! my Eyes!”

Haha. That scene was strange. I will say that I chuckled but I agree that it seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with the plot. And - no spoilers - but why did they choose that romantic subplot for Dennison after the time jump? That left me really disappointed too.
