Hello from Bear and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.
[Music]
I love you, Curadh.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
I love you, Bear.
This is episode 98 of the Bear and Curadh podcast.
We're going to talk about Bizarre TV.
Do you know these shows?
Legion.
Devon Haller is a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter
he discovers special powers that will change his life forever.
This show, I'm familiar with, um, it's based on a comic book, actually.
He's actually supposed to be the son of Professor X, you know, Professor X's, um, you see
Bald?
Yeah, playing a wheelchair.
Played by Patrick's dinner.
I've never heard of him.
Stop it.
But, um, it's a loosely based on the comic book.
Um, it's a bizarre show though, it's very, very weird, so it should be on this list.
Yeah, definitely, um, it's, it's, it's, it's a hard watch.
You really need to, um, be patient with it because a lot of the time you don't know what
tells going on because it's a lot of it takes place in its head and, you know, no, it's real,
it's not.
Here's the figment of his imagination, basically all these characters that you meet are his
different personalities.
It's just like you, um, exactly like me.
So, I mean, he gets a frantic, but a lot of these people, um, present themselves as, um,
characters, and, and it, so he's almost like he has multiple personalities disorder, but
each of those people have powers that he learns the control.
I remember, it must have been on CNN, a show that Anderson Cooper did about schizophrenia.
Uh-huh.
And in the show, um, they wired him up with a microphone and he had headphones on that
they could say things to him.
And as he went about his day, they would say things like, "I can't think of an example,"
but like, he would buy a hot dog and, and the voice in his headphones would say, "That
hot dog is poisoned, you're going to die if you eat it," or, um, he'd walk past a woman
and, um, the voice would say, "That woman is thinking about killing you."
Hmm.
Okay.
It's kind of putting you in a frame of mind or looking up to be what it would be like to be
schizophrenia.
Yeah.
That would be crazy.
That would be really, because these people believe what their mind's telling them is this
stuff like that.
You know what I mean?
I don't think it's also dark and dangerous, but distracting at least.
Distracting at least.
You know what I mean?
Just going about your day and then all of a sudden, this crazy thought pops in your mind.
And it's, it's real to you.
It sounds like my days.
Working at, working at your job?
Yeah.
Sounds like my customers.
We shouldn't make fun of schizophrenia, but, um, I can see that working much better as
a TV show than as a comic book.
Yeah.
"Dirt's gently holistic detective agency.
The show is based around the eccentric, Dirk Gently, who claims to be a holistic detective.
Investigating obscure cases based on the amator, the interconnectivity of all things.
Based on the series run by Douglas Adams, the hitchhiker's guy to the galaxy."
I have not seen it.
I've, I've heard the, the title before and, um, I think it's on a service that we
have.
Hmm.
And based on it being originally written by Douglas Adams, it's something I think I would
want to see.
Yeah.
It sounds interesting.
It sounds like something I would probably watch.
I, I'd never heard of it until just now.
Um, the, the problem with having lots of streaming services is there's just too much to
consume, and, and how do you find out about that of them?
Um, there's some podcast that, one in particular, um, endorses TV shows all the time, and, um,
I find that when I watch them, they don't seem to be nearly as good as they made them out
to be.
Hmm.
It's like they're getting kicked back from the podcast.
Well, I, I just don't have the same, um, tastes that they've read, I guess.
Well, you're very particular about what you do and don't watch.
Mm-hmm.
You, you, you, I know there's a lot out there and I don't want to waste my time on something
that, um, and I, not interested in.
Yeah.
Where I, I'll pretty much watch anything, but a lot of time it's just, it reminds me to be
background noise while I snooze, so I don't really get into it, so, um, there's a
few shows that I get into, but that's, there's not many.
The OA, I kind of wonder what OA stands for.
Imagine if you watch the show, they tell you.
Having gone missing seven years ago, the previously blind prairie, returns home, now in her 20s
was sight restored.
While many believe she is a miracle, others worry she could be dangerous.
You watch this, don't you?
Mm-hmm.
No, I've seen the previous one on Netflix, I believe, but it's not one that I have watched.
That's my problem, too, is, once a show starts, if it's more than a season or two into it, I've
one watching.
Oh, yeah.
I bet our shows that have like 14 seasons, and I, I'm not slugging through all of them.
Mm-hmm.
I just, I don't want to, I don't want to put forth the effort at the time to catch up to
watching, you know, hundreds of hours of TV, just to get caught up, so I miss them.
Especially when it's something inane, like naked and afraid.
Yeah.
I mean, well, that's, that's the show you can actually just turn on in, because it's different
every episode.
I mean, there's, there's no continuum plot line, they get naked, they get lost, they're
put in the middle of nowhere.
But the shows where you need to watch from the beginning to understand what's going on,
I just won't do it.
And I would bet most of these shows, this list came from Reddit, so I, I, I can't, I can't
vouch for the, the shows that are on it.
Okay.
All right.
Brand new cherry flavor, Lisa Nova, an aspiring film director, director in the Sundance,
it's a me world of 1990 Los Angeles, and barks on a mine altering journey of supernatural
revenge that gets nightmarishly out of control.
Okay.
Um, I got that synopsis from IMDB and IMDB runs videos on the back, ground of the screen
when you're on the website, um, with you want them to or not, I can't stop it.
And based on what I saw of that, it looks like lots of guns and killing and action and
something you would not be expecting, but so I would look interesting to me at all.
Now, hmm, once again, this is something that I've never heard of.
And, and the name brand new cherry flavor, I mean, that tells you right from the start that
this is going to be bizarre.
Yeah.
And based in 1990, Los Angeles, only thing I could think of back then would probably be
porn.
So, I, yeah, I, yeah, not something I'd be interested in either.
Search party.
Search party is a dark comedy about four self-absorbed 20-somethings who become entangled
in an ominous mystery when a former college acquaintance suddenly disappears.
Hmm, sounds kind of interesting and sounds like something I'd watch.
I guess it depends on how bizarre the characters are.
Yeah.
I, I do like a dark comedy.
Damn.
Yeah, if it doesn't go on forever.
Hmm.
Sometimes they're just weird, too, too weird for my liking, too.
You know, every once in a while, we, that's a show that we come across and we watch it.
And I think every day really good shows just get tossed in the trash and it's never made.
But this turd got produced.
Like, LeBrea, he loved that show.
Oh, God.
I use those words every time it's on, don't I?
Yes, you do.
Every single time it goes on.
This turd got produced.
Mm-hmm.
And it was a turd.
It's terrible.
No matter how you polish it, it's still a turd.
Well, it's still like to know, you know, it is over, they didn't keep re-upped, they finished
there.
I hope they all died in the end.
I'd never watched the end of it.
I watched the first season and even when I was watching it, I'm like, this show is ridiculous.
Why am I watching this?
But it was one of those background like, just how far can we go before they cut the production?
Yeah.
It's all because the only one cool thing I thought about it was that they did have an amputee
in there.
Hmm.
She was an actual amputee, so I kind of watched it for that, so she was in the amputee.
Okay, Ms. Davis, none sister Simone, parted with her ex-boyfriend Wiley on a close-manning
journey to destroy Ms. Davis, a powerful artificial intelligence.
Once again, they put videos on my screen that I didn't necessarily want to watch and this
didn't look interesting.
I still have scars from parochial schools, so shows about nuns don't interest me much.
Yeah.
Another dystopian type of future show, it seems like, based on that synopsis, I would not
watch it anyway.
No.
It just doesn't pique my interest whatsoever.
Preacher, after a supernatural event in his church, a preacher enlists the help of a vampire
and his ex, to find God, despite an antagonist named Her Star.
This is one that I've actually watched and I watched all the way to the end and it was bizarre
and it was great.
It was very strange.
Yeah.
I watched a lot of these episodes with you.
I think this was produced by Seth Rogan and he smokes a lot of weed and it shows.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
It's how bizarre can we make this without going, seeing how many people will watch this.
Now, my favorite scene is about Her Star.
He is like a sort of like a Nazi character and he wants to join this group whose goal
is like World Dominion and they have like an interview process with him and like 12 other
people who want the job as like World Dictator and in each part of the, they would allow people,
you know, who don't have the right skills or whatever.
And it comes down to him and this other guy, this other big muscle-bound hunk and I think
they have like a shooting contest who can fire, who can shoot nearest to the target and
the other guy starts first and he shoots and like every one of the bullets went right
through the center of the target and then it comes time for the Her Star and he just lifts
up the gun and shoots the other guy and I laughed and laughed.
It takes something truly twisted like that to get me to laugh.
Yeah.
The dark comedy.
Yeah.
He showed, it was absurd and Dominic Cooper wasn't bad to look at.
Man.
He was the preacher.
What was, what was, who played his girlfriend Ruth Nega?
Something like that.
She's been in some other really bizarre shows.
Yeah.
She's one of those actresses that seems to kind of be drawn to strange parts.
Brain dead, a government employee discovers that the cause of the tensions between the two
political parties has a race of extraterrestrial insects eating the brains of the politicians.
Sounds like real life.
It does.
If that was true, it would explain so much about our politics and I've actually seen this
show.
I don't know that I saw all of it but I've seen bits of it and I think at the time I was
thinking, boy, this would explain our politics so well.
Yeah.
That's, sometimes the truth is closer to fiction than we liked it and the idea that politicians
can go on with no brain, I think makes sense.
Yeah.
It's a show that I think I'd like to watch, to be honest with you, but now I haven't seen
that one either.
Because it was a head to horrible special effects and I don't think that was the point.
Yeah.
Okay, so you did see some of it?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
All right.
Mr. Robot, Elliott, a brilliant but unstable cyber security engineer and a vigilante hacker
become a key figure in a complex game of global chaos and he and his shadowy allies try
to take down the corrupt corporation, his company is paid to protect, sorry, that sounds
like I read it but I did.
Mm-hmm.
That's what the show was.
I can't think of his name either.
Remy Malik.
Yeah.
He won an Emmy forter.
This show, the critics just love this show.
And people who, on various podcasts have mentioned it, have just praised it so much that I can't
watch it.
You refuse to?
Yes.
The best way to get me to not watch a show is for the critics to rave about it.
Kind of like episode four of The Last of Us.
Yeah.
Possibly because that's happened before and I had such high expectations that the show
didn't meet, that I just don't trust the critics.
Yeah.
It's another show.
It was one of the shows that I was interested in watching and just never honestly got around
to watching it.
Oh.
Me neither.
So, Watchmen, a version of 1985 where super heroes exist.
The murder of a colleague since the active vigilante of Worshack on the trail of conspiracy that
would change the course of history.
Yeah.
Suspect that that synopsis was really for the movie and not for the series.
Yeah.
Because that doesn't cover the series whatsoever.
And naming an antagonist Worshack I think is a genius move.
Yeah.
It's an interesting character to say the least.
I've seen the movie and I've seen the TV show.
Have you watched either one?
No.
You haven't seen the movie?
No.
Did you read the comic?
Oh.
No.
It's actually really good.
It's a lot of it.
It became mandatory reading in some colleges.
It was really good.
Strange.
The TV.
It's basically above the Cold War and these super heroes, some of them have powers, some of
them don't.
Well, Mr. Manhattan actually has powers, but he leaves Earth and goes to Mars because Earth's
below him.
But the TV show is pretty good, but it is really, really good and then it just kind of started
going downhill and they wrapped it up.
And that seems to happen in a lot of TV shows in my opinion.
It's like the writers just have their original idea and they're going, oh, they don't know
what to do.
And then they're like, oh crap, what do we do now?
Well, let's just end it.
So, I mean, TV shows really ought to have like a five-year plan and then be done.
Yeah.
But it was pretty good.
I would recommend it with her name, Regina Keynes in the TV show.
So, she was really good in it, lots of violence, I bet.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm trying to think it's something I don't think you would enjoy to watch.
But you don't like anything with super heroes in it, even though.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I like Superman, sometimes Spider-Man.
Yeah.
And the funny thing is most of them don't have powers.
They're just normal human beings, but there, they line might as vigilante super heroes.
So.
Oh, kind of like the boys.
No, the boys actually have powers.
The people that they're fighting have powers, but like the boys themselves, I don't think
any of them have any powers.
No, no.
Well, yes or no.
But you're right, yeah.
Most of them don't.
Kind of.
Twin Peaks.
A videocentric FBI agent investigates the murder of a young woman in the even more idiosyncratic
town of Twin Peaks.
I watched this one, it came on back in the 80s and 90s.
I loved this show.
I did not watch it because once again all the critics said you should watch this.
Yeah, I figured as much.
I love the show.
I mean, my friends will love it.
There's like, it was probably the first show that I really, really got into.
It was so weird.
And it was bizarre and I just loved it when I came out.
Now I try to rewatch it and I'm like, why the hell did I watch this show?
I've seen clips, you know, where people go.
This was a fantastic scene.
If you don't know where it came from.
It's very bizarre.
Yeah.
It was a good show.
It was interesting.
Kyle McLaughlin was in it.
There was a dancing thing in midget that it's talked backwards.
Yeah.
So, it was kind of big, you know, me and Midget's face, don't kind of like each other.
I guess.
I have a fear of them.
But is that you're looking at me with such disgust?
I'm not rolling my eyes.
I'm trying really not hard not to.
But yeah, it was a good show.
I enjoyed it.
And then I think they re-did it.
Did they?
Did it recently?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
It would not live up to the hype.
No, no.
I think they came back and did it on one of the streaming services and it had a cope fondly
again.
But nothing like it did back then.
I mean, I remember being in the cover TV guide and I can't remember the main characters.
It's just so much I loved it.
I can't remember.
Basically, the one girl that dies, you're trying to figure out what happened to her touring
the whole thing and where it's such and such and I was like going to cover all the magazines
and people speculating some.
But it was pretty good.
I enjoyed it.
It sounds like a ringing endorsement so I still won't watch it.
Yeah.
I know.
I've given up years ago and trying to tell you to watch things because I think most of
the time, if I ever say that I like it, you're immediately going back to never watching.
Just to spite me.
I never even bring it up anymore.
The Sandman, upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard dream, the
personification of dreams sets about to reclaim his lost equipment.
You watch this, didn't you?
I've watched a few episodes.
It pretty much matches the comic book.
It's written by Neil Gaiman.
Neil Gaiman.
Who is gay and has done some other, he did American gods.
Yeah.
I read that book.
That was cool.
It's bizarre but I think it was meant to be bizarre.
Everything he does is bizarre.
I had an ex who this was his favorite comic book and he made me read them.
The one about where dream goes to hell to get back something of his, and they have a contest
where they try to run up each other, don't they?
Yeah.
One is a powerful horse and the other one says, "I'm asting in the insect, sting the horse
and the other one is I'm a spider and I eat the insect."
They finally get down to where one of them says, "I'm the entire world.
I'm the Earth and when it says I'm the universe and then the other one, the demon says, "I am
the end of the, when time has run out and the universe comes to a standstill and he says,
what will you be dream and dream says, I am hope."
Hmm.
That's cool.
Yeah, I think I watched a few episodes with you about this or with you and I think I stopped
watching it.
I didn't hold our attention.
Yeah, we got sidetracked and it was during the pandemic, I think we started watching
it.
But there was one of those, yeah, it just kind of got caught up in something else.
But the episode that I did say, "I enjoyed it."
So, all right, here we go, "Doctor Who, a British science fiction television series which depicts
the adventures of an extraterrestrial being called the Doctor.
The Doctor uses a time traveling space called the Tartus, which externally appears as
a British police box while traveling the Doctor works as saved lives and liberates people
by combating foes."
You know, you love this.
Hmm, it's okay, I will watch it when it's on, I mean they've sort of revived the series.
I mainly watched it on public TV.
You watched it back from the original when it was syndicated, yeah.
And that was such a little budget show.
I could never get into it because it was so little budget, it looked like it was telling
that it's on his backyard.
Yeah, it did.
It was just terrible, I could never, yeah, I could never get into it.
And when they revived it, they tried to, I don't know, keep this sort of low-budget look,
but with high dollar effects.
It's, it's not bad, it has such a huge following, everybody kind of remembers the TV shows,
which took a long time because they only had like six episodes a season.
Really?
Everyone met up there in black and white.
A lot, I mean, I remember being kid and everyone I knew who watched the show was just a
stranger, Dr. Frickin, and I could not get into it because there was a British show, too.
And the guy had this big, puffy scarf and they just, oh, a Tom Baker.
Yeah.
And there was nothing appealing to it whatsoever and I, and that's one nerd TV show that I
can, cannot get behind the TARDIS, I remember watching you freak out when there was a TARDIS
at the Expression Place.
I'm like, you know what TARDIS stands for?
What's the thing?
Time and relative dimensions in space.
Yeah.
It looked like a police box to me.
It looked like a phone booth.
And I'm like, I know this was a travel through space and time.
But I could, yeah, I could just never get into it.
And I was kind of disappointed when I opened up the door and looked inside and it was smaller
inside than it was outside.
Yeah.
And we realized that you can't do anything with it, right?
Yeah, that's just one thing I could never get behind.
The good place.
Four people in their otherworldly frenemy struggle in the afterlife to define what it means
to be good.
You've watched some of this.
I watched the first season and called it after the second or third episode, that Tom or
Tim Denson was actually not God.
So, at the end of the first season, they realized that they weren't in heaven, that they were
in hell.
They were juvey, yeah.
And he was not God.
He was just another.
It was a premise, you know, where she says to, where she arrives there and they said you're
in heaven and she knows she was not a good person.
And she thinks she was sent there by mistake.
And its sort of like the saying that it's easier to do work than it is.
It's easier to be busy than to look busy.
It's like that.
She had to pretend that she was good and try to do what she thought good people would do.
And I think as the shows went on, you begin to figure out that all the other people thought
they were sent there by mistake too.
And they were all just pretending to be good.
So, when they announced that they weren't actually in heaven, that they were in hell, its kind
of all made sense.
Yeah, it was okay, it was real clampy, Ted Danson annoys me, and I don't like his politics
and every time I see him, I think of that.
It's hard for me to get past that kind of like JK Rowling now.
Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a scorer, all right, Severance, Mark Lee, the team
of office workers, whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives.
When a mysterious colony appears outside of work and it begins a journey to discover the
truth about their jobs, obviously this show has a lot more than what those words say in
it.
I think the reason it's never come on my radar is because it's on Apple TV and we just
have to put a limit somewhere on what streaming we watch.
I would like to see Foundation and Empire, but I don't think I want to subscribe to Apple
just for that.
Just because of that.
So probably the problem with getting these synopses from IMDB is they're all rather flat
and to sort of to the facts and these descriptions don't really describe the essence of the
shows.
And I don't want to really spark that interest, like I would not watch any show based on any
of these descriptions.
Same here.
So, yeah, I didn't even know the show existed until I just read that, so, but like a lot
of things I'll see, except for apps, since I see that's Apple TV, I move on.
Because I know I don't have it.
I don't want to get into it.
I don't want to get tempted to just subscribe to another streaming service.
So, I just had a site out of mind, just, no, you know what I mean?
I think you should leave with Tim Robinson.
A sketch show where Tim Robinson and his guests spend each segment driving someone to the
point of needing or desperately wanting to leave sounds like a mean terrible.
It sounds like a prank show.
In my prank shows, I really don't, but when I first read the title, I think you should leave
with Tim Robinson.
I thought it was like trying to get him to leave with him, but it's that that's not yet.
And I don't like uncomfortable humor.
No, I know you don't, yeah, which that's exactly what this is.
Uncomfortable humor doesn't bother me, but this show just doesn't spark my inches.
I mean, it's a, it just came out on Netflix.
I think they just really know it's on Apple.
Oh, is it?
Okay.
Alright, maybe that's another reason why I'm not that familiar with it.
Miracle workers stars Daniel Radcliffe as an angel trying to do good in the world through
the D.M.V.S. bureaucracy of heaven.
God has played by Steve Buscemi and he ate his job and it gets weirder from there.
Obviously, this description was not from IMDB, I think it came from the reddest list.
Okay.
It sounds like a good show.
It does.
Steve Buscemi has gone.
Get definitely not a beautiful, all-powerful old man, kind of an ugly old man, really.
And Daniel Radcliffe, I think every show he's been in, he's tried to overpower his past,
his Harry Potter.
Yes.
What do you get after, though?
I've been impressed with some of the stuff that he's done, you know what I mean?
And he hasn't been in some really bizarre stuff.
Oh, very bizarre.
Like did you see the one where he woke up in his hands were guns?
Yes.
That was very...
And maybe we should do a movie list like this, so just Huey.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I would watch this.
Yeah, I think at least the first episode or two.
In upload, a dystopian science fiction rom-com about a digital afterlife in cyberspace.
It's bleak but also hilarious.
That.
I have watched this show.
I don't think I watched to the very end, but I've watched almost...
Is this on prime?
Yeah, it's on prime, okay.
The guy is, I don't know, people think he's beautiful.
I don't think looks will get you just everywhere in Hollywood.
I don't think that description really describes it.
I didn't see it as dystopian.
It's basically...
This guy is a programmer and they've created this like a second life type place and people
can go into it and interact and whatever.
So, they start digitizing people before they die, so that when they die, they can go into
this and continue on.
And I guess it does have some commentary, but mostly it's just science fiction.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's one of those I saw and then I think it's already like on a start episode or whatever
and they finish the second season and I doubt they will go any further.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've heard people rave about it, but I just know one of those ones today.
It spawns of the way side of things that I just haven't seen.
The X-Files, two FBI agents, Fox Motors, the believer and Dana Scully, the skeptic, investigate
the strange and unexplained while hidden forces work in piece or efforts.
Now that actually is a pretty good description of the show.
Did you watch it?
Of course I did.
I figured you did.
Probably saw every episode.
Yeah, I figured it was much.
It went from serious about monsters to sometimes making fun of itself.
Can't be.
Yeah.
The whole range.
I don't know.
At one point, the guy who plays Fox Molder, I guess, didn't want to be on the show
anymore or want more money or something anyway.
He wasn't on it.
And then Dana Scully became the die, believer and it just went, that's when it jumped to
shark.
No, okay.
Yeah, I've watched some of the episodes, but it was one of those I just never got into.
It was on like when I was in high school.
So, I was too busy running around doing things.
It's definitely on streaming and it's one of those where there's like 14 seasons.
Um, it would be hard to get into now, but it's dated now.
One division, one to Maximoff and Vision, two super, two superpowered beings living their
ideals, suburban lives, begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.
Okay.
I guess that's a fairly good description.
We've both seen all the episodes.
I loved it.
I absolutely loved this show.
It started off really, really slow, but uh, people who grew up on syndication, appreciate
it.
Start out in black and white, like I love Lucy and be which, you could tell the shows
that they were spoofing.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, all the decades and stuff like that.
I mean, they did a really good job of it.
But I absolutely love this show.
I can't wait for season two to come out.
Oh, there's another good picture.
Sure.
How would they do that?
It's going to move.
It's not going to be anything like the first, because the world's destroyed.
I mean, she destroyed it.
It was, it was all made up in her own mind because Vision's dead, so, um, but I think it's
going to move on with more of, um, well, I'm here at 81's feet away, um, um, the dark witch.
I can't think of her name.
The one that she fights in the end.
Uh, it wasn't the Scarlet, it's she's a Scarlet witch.
She's a Scarlet witch, but it's the dark, the other witch that had the book that she fights
in the end.
I can't think of her name, but, uh, I just thought it was all self-contained.
One thing, and any attempts to go further would just be trying to sponge more many off of
it.
Oh, okay.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Okay.
Maybe.
Okay.
I don't know.
I did not know that there was going to be a cover season.
Yeah.
But it's, it's, it's, it's time it follows true to the comic book, uh, from my understanding.
Uh, I wonder if a lot of people do comic books now with just the, the goal of, uh, the
getting it turned into a movie or a TV show.
I don't, I mean, that story's like 40 years old.
I mean, I mean, the whole Scarlet witch wanted to max them off.
Basically, she loses her mind, but it's the power that she has, and she's so powerful
she can make her own world.
And that's what she does.
So, that's what I would do.
No, I know you would.
I wouldn't be loud in it either, probably.
Copenhagen, cowboy, a young heroine, mew, I think, mew, mew, mew, I don't know mew, who travels
through Copenhagen's criminal, never world.
Not to show that I would want to watch, um, the, uh, the video that played in the background
look like lots of shooting and violence and hitting and, um, uh, this, it probably is really
bizarre.
Uh, it could, it sounds like it could be, um, but not necessarily in a comic book way.
Okay.
So, uh, I probably wouldn't watch it.
Yeah, it does, it does.
It's worth my interest.
Okay.
Uh, good omens.
The end of the world is coming, which means the fussy angel and the lucid demon have become
a really fond of life on earth, a force to form an unlikely alliance to stop barming getting.
I watched part of this and couldn't get into it.
Oh?
Yeah.
I thought you liked it.
No, I watched like the first three, four episodes and just couldn't get into it.
It sounds kind of interesting.
The concept's really cool, but it just, no chemistry between them.
Yeah.
I was expecting something different, um, it was more like the hot couple and anything else.
So, um, yeah, it just really wasn't, um, wasn't there talk of them having a relationship
before the end?
Oh, I don't know.
I didn't get that far in it.
Hm.
So, lost.
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly
disordered tropical island.
That is the plainest description of that show, I think I've ever seen.
Yeah.
That show pisses me off.
Just even thinking about.
Pissed me off, too.
Yeah.
I put too much time and effort and was so excited about it and it had all these chances
of being this great freaking show and then it was crap, a literal steaming pile of crap.
One day it worked.
Somebody asked me if I watched a show called "Found" and I said, "No, I would never watch a show
called "Found" because I would be afraid it was a sequel to "Law".
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Um.
I remember when this was on, there was like a Good Morning America or something where the
producers of the show were on there and they said, um, we realized this is a phenomena
and we have a plan for the show and in the end it will all be explained and it'll all make
sense.
And they lied, lied, lied, lied right through their teeth, lied.
Oh yeah.
Well, everyone said from the beginning it was a purgatory, it was going to be purgatory as
a purgatory.
And it was freaking purgatory.
It was, they lied, but everyone's expecting this big Tada because you have the polar Baehr
on the island.
You have this, you have this and it's just all leading you up to something they could have
answered and the first freaking seizing, I'm still pissed about it.
I get angry about it every time.
I think what bothers me is it's such a waste of my time watching all that, only to have it
come out.
I think what you expected it to be all of it.
Yeah, it landed really flat.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was one of those, we used to watch it up at the bar all the time.
All of us would get together and get up there and watch it at the bar religiously.
And I remember that they would come on, everyone at the bar knew that there was no music played
loud.
Everyone would sit there and watch it.
And we all watched it from the very beginning and then it just big fat turd.
I watched it mainly because Matthew Fucks was the star.
Yeah.
The head is stirred off just off it enough to keep it interesting.
My favorite is a bunch.
But yeah, it's, yeah, that's just reason I don't watch a lot of shows anymore and get that
involved in a more group that encroached them because that shows just ruined it for a lot
of those.
So, pushing daisies, I pay for yourself with the power to bring dead people back to life,
sells murder mysteries with this resurrected childhood sweetheart, a cynical private investigator
and a little sick waitress.
This is not the show that I thought it was.
Okay.
So, that show with Mandy Patinkin and what's her name, that's a different show.
Okay.
This show is fairly new, I think.
Yeah, everyone's reading about it.
From what I saw of the video that ran in the background, something I thought was interesting
was that he has to keep resurrecting that girl.
Something like the universe must want her dead and he has to keep resurrecting her all the
time.
It sounds pretty interesting.
Yeah.
Everyone's raving about it, but I'm not sure what streaming service it runs on.
I don't do this.
Probably happened one that we had.
Yeah.
All right.
Looks like we're up to the last one.
I'm a Virgo.
The coming-of-age joyride of Cudi, a 13-year-old, a 13-foot-tall man who escapes to experience
the beauty and contradictions of the real world.
He forms friendships, finds love, navigates awkward situations and encounters his idol, the
hero.
First, I've ever heard of it.
Me too.
It sounds like a British show.
I don't know.
The cast is mainly black.
Sounds kind of interesting, kind of a fish out of water kind of show, I guess.
Yeah.
It sounds interesting, but yeah, it's another one of those that I never even heard of.
From what I saw in the behind, you know, the behind the background video, it didn't look
like there was anything bizarre in it.
It's a 13-foot-tall man.
Yeah.
That's right.
All right.
So, what's your favorite joke this week?
Did you know that men who carry some extra weight live longer?
No.
Then those who mention it?
Hmm.
Bear scratch.
(laughs)
All right.
Sorry.
I can't.
I'll be good.
No, I can't.
I'll be good.
That's all right.
Still love you.
