Whatcha watching?

Watched the first episode of Dead Ringers last night. This is a limited series remake of the classic David Cronenberg film. Quite possibly the worst TV I've watched in several years. :vomit:
It takes a specific mindset to get into it. A good friend/musical partner is a Freudian/Lacanian analyst and he absolutely LOVED that show. I don't have his background/training, but I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Not as much as the movie, mind you, which is phenomenal.

I watched it right after the latest ep of Severance. That juxtaposition probably didn't help.

Severance continues to blow my mind every week.

Hello World. The Nate Bargatze special on Amazon Prime.
Holy smokes, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I think the thing I like best about this guy is he's a story teller. He's not up there just to tell jokes, he's telling stories about his life. Also, he is 100% clean. No foul language or subject matter. I saw him in an interview on Jimmy Fallon where he said he wanted to do shows he wouldn't be embarrassed to have his parents or kids watch/listen to.

Riff Raff.
Wannabe Tarantino. It could've been great with better writing and directing. Bill Murray seemed like he didn't know what was happening. Pete Davidson was there and if he's not playing a character that's either terminally ill or on heroin, you have to have an in-movie explanation as to why he looks like that. You can't just have a regular character that looks like he's on death's door and not address it in the story. The movie was okay. Ed Harris is terrific. Solid acting from everyone but Bill Murray and Pete Davidson.

The Monkey.
Solid little horror movie. It was fun.
 
I'm "watching" (read: listening to, while alternating between working on my laptop and tidying up my dining room) a youtube deep dive on mushroom based coffee alternatives. Like history of "mushroom coffee" up to background on subscription based products and their marketing, and taste testing brands. It's 10% information and 90% entertaining color commentary, but I got a quick cackle out of the presenter reading a review that was "it tastes like dog poo" and responding "well that's not promising, because I don't like that flavor"

I've tried a few of those. Yuck, and I generally don't mind mushrooms.
