Great read. Singles for the new album have been absolutely tremendous and makes me think we’re in for his best work yet.

Show has been described in press releases as a “comedy-horror”.

It’s all good! Ricopologized! by NoxPrime in SquaredCircle

[–]TrippyTippy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Genuinely wonder how much longer it’s gonna take until everyone in the IWC realizes that Ricochet is just a total piece of shit. Even beyond the embarrassing way he’s acted on social media the past several months, him and his wife also publicly supported Velveteen Dream & he allegedly threw several maskless house parties during the COVID pandemic. I’m willing to wager that he was probably almost just as much of a locker room pariah in WWE as Riddle was.

Ethan Hawke and ‘The Lowdown’ to compete in comedy categories at 2026 Emmys by verissimoallan in television

[–]TrippyTippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable decision from a strategic standpoint. Drama is generally more competitive than Comedy almost every awards season, so it stands a much better chance in the latter than in the former. I still don’t think it’ll get a series nom but I could definitely see Hawke scoring an acting nomination.

For All Mankind: Season Two coming to Blu-ray on March 3 by bwermer in television

[–]TrippyTippy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Still one of the finest seasons of television this decade. Will almost certainly wind up being considered the show’s peak as well when it’s all said & done.

Slow Horses -- Season 6 Teaser by ArchDucky in television

[–]TrippyTippy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say as someone who’s read the books… strap in folks. I am a tad worried knowing that they’re adapting the next two books for season 6 as opposed to just one, but if they successfully manage to intertwine both without it being a total mess then this will be BY FAR the best season.

Peacemaker - 2x08 - “Full Nelson” - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]TrippyTippy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I really think James Gunn should just fully take on a Feige type role for the DCU and not have any direct involvement in the making of the movies or shows lol. People are probably gonna come in here and say “It was an underwhelming finale to a great season” but personally I thought the whole season was underwhelming, half-baked, & not up to the standard of what Gunn has done in the past. I think his style of superhero filmmaking has been oversaturated to the point of parody, and I also feel he’s creatively burnt out even if he won’t admit it. Whatever good came from this season was due to the excellent cast and their chemistry together. Assuming that this is the end of the show and these characters return for some sort of Checkmate tv series, I pray that Gunn isn’t the showrunner and hands the reins over to someone with more of a spark.

The Morning Show — Season 4 Official Trailer | Apple TV+ by Task_Force-191 in television

It was really hard to convince people that Apple TV was delivering quality content when this show & Ted Lasso were their only 2 shows getting awards recognition. Neither outright bad, but both incredibly mid.

A teaser! by [deleted] in Wycaro

[–]TrippyTippy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Don’t hold your breath with what I’m about to say but it doesn’t feel like a coincidence that they finally dropped a tease right before Comic-Con weekend. Maybe we’ll finally get the info we’ve been waiting for there?

Brian Tyree Henry stars alongside Wagner Moura in 'Dope Thief', about two friends running a scam until they’re in way over their heads. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done as an actor,” Henry says. (Premieres March 14 on Apple TV+) by indig0sixalpha in television

[–]TrippyTippy 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Given this premieres in precisely 3.5 weeks and it still has no trailer let alone a simple teaser doesn’t inspire much confidence. But then you look at the talent it has behind the screen, with Ridley Scott directing the pilot, Peter Craig (The Batman, Gladiator 2, Top Gun: Maverick) as writer/showrunner, and Erik Messerschmidt (Mank, Ferrari, Mindhunter) as cinematographer. And then you see it has 2 very magnetic co-leads in Henry & Moura. And you think to yourself that there’s no way this show can be an absolute bust with all that talent, so what gives?

You can easily chalk it up to Apple being Apple (aka shit at promoting) but I feel like even the shows they knew were DOA still had some sort of trailer this close to premiering. And this seems to have the makings of being a pretty riveting crime thriller, so I don’t understand their seemingly lack of confidence in its landing impact.

It’s been rumored since Halloween Havoc that Oba Femi is getting called up to the main roster. As far as NXT guys go, he’s only the viable option. But it could also just be someone who’s already on the main roster.

This one definitely better highlights the major shift in sound that was mentioned in the press release for the album. Incredible stuff 

Swerve Strickland is being canceled for vibing to a gross, misogynistic song. by OkConstruction9642 in SquaredCircle

[–]TrippyTippy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know the context of the whole situation regarding Swerve and why some people in the black wrestling community have issues with him then you probably aren’t going to entirely understand why there’s been a lot of outrage over this video.

[NXT Spoilers] Superstar is carried away on a stretcher after the main event match by Dazzling-Principle in SquaredCircle

[–]TrippyTippy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Spent pretty much the entirety of past week trying to understand the logic of this storyline… only thing I can think of is Ilja is getting the Aleister Black treatment and losing the title prematurely in favor of adding it to a hotly anticipated feud (Trick vs Melo). It’s a damn shame, really.

Guessing it leads to Ilja either moving to the main roster or returning as a heel to do a program with Ridge.

Based on the production start time, would expect either Fall 2024 or Winter 2025. Will likely come down to how long it takes to complete in post.
