Joe Rogan is apparently Gerard Way's cousin. Irrelevant to anything, I know, but if I had to learn that fact then so do you.

Overgrown frat boy jock masquerading as some sort of deep thinker. Absolutely a product of the time and it's kind of like watching nu metal fans thinking listening to tool makes them deep or something

Would you drop a few names or links? I’m always curious about what others are listening to. I’ve never paid or supported a podcast per se, however, I gave C.J. Boyd $20 last time he played Houston. C.J.’s Worst Show Ever podcast is interviews of other musicians about the worst shows they’ve ever played.

A quirk of my podcast habits is that I don’t subscribe to any, I take time to manually download daily.

What inspires me most about the success of Joe Rogan's podcast has less to do with Joe Rogan himself than with how it proves that there's an audience for the kind of long-format current affairs coverage that the big mainstream platforms, and their increasing emphasis on memeable soundbites and self-congratulatory gotcha questions, seem capable of providing. So if nothing else, it'll put pressure on them to either up their game or fall even further into irrelevance.

I'm rewatching Arrow. I cant remember how far I got last.

End of season 2, I think

Top 5 tv show. I love heroes saving people in need and kicking butt

But I guess millions disagree with me.

He’s a troll. He’s shit. He can deny being alt-right all he wants, but he’s an alt-right mascot, and he’s just the goddamn worst.

He’s not funny, he’s not interesting, he’s not compelling or smart. He’s a troll using malnourished, baby pseudo-intellect to come across as reasoned and skeptical, when he’s really just an entitled, talentless scumbag.

I made the mistake of clicking a video of his on YouTube, and the algorithm hit me with alt-right propaganda videos about “PC GONE MAD.”

Vomit.

I enjoy Joe Rogan and Tool.

Dont beat me up please

I'm watching the Dark Crystal series on Netflix, it's marvelously made. Most of it was like the original movie made by full size puppets rather than CGI. Storywise it's a bit foolish but still very enjoyable.
There's also a "making of" documentary that I watched first, which was a lot of blabla but had some interesting bits.

Mulling over going retro and giving a proper watchthrough of both Xena Warrior Princess as well as Hercules from the mid 90s

I'm sure my mom would be tickled as I know she was a decent sized fan of at least Xena.

Too awesome. Are they streaming somewhere?

I'd always watch those and the Dean Cain Superman series with my folks growing up.

I'm a HUGE Buffy / Angel fan as an adult, and I'd assume that all those shows carry similar vibes. One day I'll get around to them. Love nostalgia.

The Brink on HBO. It's superlame, but also very funny at times, and suspenseful. They never made a second season, which is a bit of a pity but perhaps it's for the best. Great for binging all after another, with 10 episodes of 30 minutes.

Looks like my mom soured on the shows since I last brought them up ever, I'll attribute parts to the conservative in her.

This is a Belgian/Dutch coproduction series on Netflix, about an undercover cop couple in an xtc producing mob family, based on true events. I normally don't like Dutch movies or series but this one is very good. There is still only one season, but there will be a next season, and a movie (sort of a prequel apparently), and possibly even another season.
I watched it in original language of course, but it is dubbed to many other languages. Which will possibly loose some of its subtleties for some characters are Dutch and some are Flemmish, and they all speak in dialect. Which is like US people versus Canadians. They speak different English.
It plays in the area where I live, most of the times just over the border in Belgium, but they also visit the PSV stadium at one point.

One of my favourite Dutch actors plays in it (at least he played in some comedies that were really funny), but he gets killed in the first episode. The other actors are fine as well though.

watchin Ramy give disabled people handjobs....

Finally watched all of Community.
Had only seen the first season back in like ‘09. Liked it, but quit for some reason.

Ups and downs but good show

This is a great new documentary of two episodes about the LA music scene from mid-sixties to mid-seventies. With interviews of all who were involved e.g. Byrds, CSNY, Joni Mtchell, Linda Rondstadt, Doors, Eagles. And so on.

Did you know for instance that Linda basically formed the Eagles?

It was on Belgian TV,, and I hope it will be rebroadcast sometime soon there or somewhere else, because I missed the very beginning of the first episode.

Dark season 3. Great wrap-up to a fantastic show.
