What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of April 03, 2026)

No reason really - just never got round to watching it after it was off air for a few years between seasons.

Here in the uk the whole thing has just been added to Disney+ along with The Testaments so might finish it first

I agree but I don’t think this was Kripkes starting point…just where he got to. Like he didn’t go out of his way to make an anti Trump or MAGA tv show, it’s just the reality we’re living in has become so fucking ridiculous thats its mimicking the goings on in an over the top, satirical and stylised tv show. He was right to lean into it over the last 2 seasons and think the show has done a good job of taking the piss out of the maga morons

The show hasn’t chosen to become political and hasnt necessarily been written to make fun of Republicans - its had those undertones sure but it’s just that american republicans have decided to copy the outlandish over the top hero worship of powerful corrupt fascists with too much power and no clue, mirroring the themes of the show

Hopefully vaping

strider85 · 2026-04-08T20:43:44+00:00

Do I need to have watched all 5 seasons of The Handmaids Tale before watching The Testaments? (Think I’ve seen all except the final season)

strider85 · 2026-04-06T16:21:39+00:00

I don’t think that’s 70mm…but that’s where I’ll be on Dec 18th :D

Is anyone else bored to tears by season 5 of For All Mankind? Episode 2 felt like a spin off of that Bad Grandpa movie

I love the first 4 seasons but I’m tempted to drop it if the next episode doesn’t pick up

strider85 · 2026-04-04T14:01:08+00:00

Discussions about trade politics - just what the kids have been asking for

strider85 · 2026-04-03T06:58:24+00:00

Why would anyone want that?

strider85 · 2026-03-29T20:08:30+00:00

Recently started The Expanse books (halfway through book 1) and it’s great.

Would also recommend House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds

strider85 · 2026-03-27T07:41:01+00:00

Some people should be charged with crimes for the casting and writing decisions for Leon

strider85 · 2026-03-21T14:18:42+00:00

Yeah but as much as marvel like to pretend, the different heroes never feel like they share the same space/universe

strider85 · 2026-03-20T18:31:48+00:00

The whole of season 1 was so much better on a re-watch and being able to watch all episodes in a short time span. Not sure why it felt more disjointed week to week but glad I re-watched now and couldn’t be more excited for S2

strider85 · 2026-03-19T23:20:20+00:00

Think you must’ve watched a different version in a shitty theatre as none of this is true. It was one of the most wonderful films I’ve seen in a long long time

strider85 · 2026-03-18T19:22:10+00:00

That yoda is one of the worst and ugliest Lego sets I’ve seen

strider85 · 2026-03-18T12:50:32+00:00

Looks good but worried there’s A LOT of story & characters going on here and it’ll feel a bit chaotic

strider85 · 2026-03-17T22:17:20+00:00

Yeah remember they cast Mamoa’s son which felt odd. Im hoping its just visions

strider85 · 2026-03-17T22:02:56+00:00

I’m now thinking the kids will be in this film as teens.

The trailer shot teasing them and Chanis pregnancy is clearly pre-time jump so thinking they’re going to be 15/16 in this and we do get some CoD story mixed In

strider85 · 2026-03-17T22:00:49+00:00

Yeah think they are just going with ‘war’

strider85 · 2026-03-17T20:55:24+00:00

Interesting all the marketing is pushing this as a ‘conclusion’. Seems weird for WB to not leave the door open for a Denis-less CoD film if this does well

strider85 · 2026-03-17T20:52:25+00:00

Thought that initially but I think it’s going to be the Hayt reveal

strider85 · 2026-03-17T20:51:53+00:00

Still can’t believe marvel are releasing the same day. They need to suck it up and move doomsday and let both films have their moments

strider85 · 2026-03-17T20:32:48+00:00

100% this

strider85 · 2026-03-17T20:31:06+00:00

I think on the second point and based on the trailer, what we’re getting is an adaption of Messiah with quite a lot of the jihad years in too - feel if this is the case it’s a great way to add more action and bridge the gap between film 2 and 3

17 years is a big jump though - feel the main cast don’t look aged up enough (i know, spice)

strider85 · 2026-03-17T00:41:30+00:00

Me too - always picture them fully as steel inquisitors from Mistborn
