Stuff 'n' stuff

1) Yay! The strike is over! Let the OFMD behind-the-scenes content begin to take the sting out of the fact that the content director Mark Hoopdedoo or whatever his stupid effing name is made some mumble sounds about the chances of OFMD being renewed. Cool! I'm sure they will get around to releasing the first two seasons on DVD so that I can have it forever before they cancel it and I cancel THEM. I watched Succession already. Don't really need it for much else at this point.*

*Somebody Somewhere S3, but they don't need to know that.

2) Also with the strike over: CONTINUE FILMING S2 SEVERANCE MY GOD IN HEAVEN.

3) I finally got around to listening to the Comedy Bang Bang ep with Manchester Orchestra, thus kicking off another round of me being obsessed with the music of Manchester Orchestra. They toured with Jimmy Eat World recently, so maybe they ARE for my generation?

4) I'm debating with myself about going to see Flowers of the Killer Moon at some point... but Next Goal Wins comes out this coming week, so I'll prioritize that. I certainly haven't been prioritizing my other football/soccer related entertainment, Welcome to Wrexham. I think it's more fun to watch it with Kate and Mike.

5) I just PLOWED through Deadloch. What a blast. Funny, including the second funniest use of the the song "The Voice" I've ever seen (now and forever, Hot Rod) And this yet another show that we don't have a S2 renewal for? With that wonderful tee-up to introduce Holly, definitely played by Lucy Lawless? Also: RAY PIES?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! That actor really turned on a dime; major kudes to his performance. Didn't give a whiff of being the Final Boss.
6) Anyway I started Broadchurch. Olivia Colman as DI Ellie already has my heart. Wow, look at Olivia Colman's face! Every scene!

David Tennant drew his beard on with mascara apparently.

I am soooooo excited that it's finally OFMD behind-the-scenes season!!!!! :') Such gems coming out already! I am trying not to think about the fact that the powers that be could cancel our beautiful and massively beloved show for some vapid and empty and hideous reason. And I am daydreaming of those DVDs. (WHERE ARE THEY?)

So excited for Next Goal Wins! (Sidenote: have you seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople? My most beloved movie ever pretty much?? Taika's most wonderful creation imo????) And also Saltburn. I have no idea what it is and I haven't even watched a trailer or anything, I'm just going to go in blind for the Vibes because I trust Emerald Fennell to deliver a crazy good time.

Yayyyyyyyyyyy, Deadloch! I really want to watch it again. Only the memory of Various Gory Happenings discourages me, but soon, my nostalgia for Redcliffe and Collins will win out.

Olivia Colman is so god damn stunning in Broadchurch! Ellie Miller, the legend that you are!!!!!! I also love DTennant as Hardy very much but no one can match Miller.

Oh, yes, I've seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople, perhaps my most favorite non-WWDitS Waititi movie. Definitely cried through a few parts of that. And oops, I gotta watch Promising Young Women... one of these days.

I am about to head back into Broadchurch... but I just watched the first two eps of People of Earth. The heart of Jenkins is strong in it: workplace silliness, collection of weirdos, little bit of romance. One of the songs from S2, "Khala My Friend," shows up in ep 2.

YES, I loved People of Earth; I watched it back before OFMD existed! I’ve been thinking I need to do a rewatch to get more of those DJenks vibes in my life now that he’s so beloved to me!

SUPER important for me to tell you this completely off-topic thing based on one of your Tumblrs: I have a mug rack AND a mug tree for my assorted mug collection, both nerdy (podcast/pop culture) and--going full grandmacore--local ceramic artists I like.

Hot gossip: My upstairs neighbor got a letter form SAG-AFTRA. Why? Don't know. Am I curious? You betcha.

Looking forward to The Great writeups, if you are willing.

An artistic union man who grills?! WHOA.

I certainly will write about my journey through The Great. Julie and I are on pause this week because of my plans to see Next Goal Wins, but we'll be back on... uh, after Thanksgiving?
