Taika Waititi goes back to his roots. Very much like the movie he broke through with back home. Never would've thought it would slot so seamlessly into another culture.

Neal Brennan. I like standup. But I don't always laugh. Calling out modern manners without being triggered by them helps a lot.
We started that one last night. If we get an "I'm invested" from our son, that's a solid endorsement. He gave the same response with the first two episodes of "3 Body Problem". That's one of the more intelligent shows I've seen in years. Good stuff!
Jazz Fest streaming in Hulu, a documentary about the New Orleans jazz festival and its history, most excellent.
Enjoyed 3 good movies within 2 days. Rather high number for me in a short time frame, but sometimes ya just get lucky LOL.
Blues in the Night (1941)
The Help (2011)
Hidden Figures (2016)
Currently on TV while I sit here and type? An original episode of the Flintstones LOL. Two stations, Boom and MeTV, show alot of the old cartoons of my youth. Popeye, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Droopy Dog, etc. from the 30's to 60's versions. Generally put one of those as background while I do other stuff.

Hidden Figures is a good one. I can watch that one more than once.
The live TV section of Roku has channels that feature shows from my youth that I enjoy as well.

Beverly Hillbillies. I remember it being a bit funnier most tv in the 60s. But apparently not the first season.
♫ Guess who I just saw today?
Them wild-eyed Boys that had been away.
Haven't changed, had much to say.
And man, I still think them cats are crazy. ♫
♪ Channel surfing, I'm looking around.
Stopped me cold, stunned at what I found.
Made some coffee and turned up the sound.
And waited for the crazy. ♪ ♫
So...yeah...The Boys, new season, is back on Prime. Only had 3 episodes available so far, and I'm all in.
Also, apologies to Thin Lizzy

the big chill — vicariously got my hands on the OST, right around the time CD players were first launched here. Hadn't seen the film, at the time. I was sharing the servant's quarters on the ground floor of a mansion, slap bang in Chatswood, with a law student, a nurse, and a fledgling merchant banker, just a kid, who, immediately upon moving in, rented a sound system and splurged on a few CDs. The big chill OST was one, dancing with strangers was another — can't recall the other one tonight. It'll come back to me. I went off immediately and purloined dream sequence
The movie tonight has all these memories flooding back. Music plays a huge role. Bit of a distraction, really
Ladles of nostalgia. It wasn't much chop, that rented CD player, but it was all we had. And the music was crisp and clean — oddly so, and not in a bad way. I listened to those discs over and over. They lock me into this chapter. Took me a while to find my way into the new technology, elsewhere, a year or so down the track. I got a much better stereo system, never looked back, still have it: Old sansui receiver, yamaha CD player, quadral speakers. Nice and tidy. Did the job.The boy banker moved on and, on his way out the door, while I was elsewhere, the dear soul stole a little, bespoke wooden box, made by a good friend of mine, replete with all my nice pens, compasses, protractors, and various other treasures and knickknacks. Lovely lad. Sorry to see him go, I was.
Still, I'm chill. Water under the bridge. The triumph is to not be like them.
I saw whatever the new Bad Boys movie is called. They gave Martin Lawrence center stage in this one while Will Smith half assed his way through the movie. I wonder what the story is there. He must've wanted it that way. It was a very bad movie.
On the docket for tonights viewing pleasure!♫ Guess who I just saw today?

Eric. Borrows heavily. From All Gone Pete Tong to Stalingrad. Then runs it through Disney filters. And I still really liked it.
Kind of funny making a movie about homeless people then setting it in 79 or whenever. Compared to today they hardly knew the meaning of the word. Still a vestigial social contract back then left over from WWII.
