Damn @mclaincausey , where are you watching alone the beast?? I like the original but that sounds better

[SKT]

First off, Alone, beast edition sounds insane and I’ve got to find it.  Don’t think I’ll be able to convince the wife to watch that one…

[mention]Joberwocky [/mention] Im with you and love “what we do in the shadows”.  Movie was one of my favorites and the series is great as well. Can’t wait for it come back.

We tried getting into White Lotus but didn’t love episode one. Does it get better?

[Joberwocky]

@SKT  yelling "Baaaaaat" or "human form" has become a mainstay in my household

[SKT]

I’m stealing that. My kids will think I’ve gone nuts.  His use of the word “shit” is also a work of art.

[mclaincausey]

@Joberwocky Hulu. It’s A&E instead of History like the original.

@SKT i failed to mention the best part: it’s in the Arctic at the start of winter. So lots of brown and black bears and wolves about in addition to the climate. I think Northwest Territories, Canada perhaps.

Which reminds me of another favorite survivalist show, Survivorman. Les Stroud at least used to live in Yellowknife. That show needs to join one of the streaming platforms.

[mention]mclaincausey [/mention] I found it and just started the first episode. I forgot how big a moose is!  I’ve field dressed lots of deer and I can’t imagine doing it with a sharp(ish) rock.  I’m hooked and already wondering what they’re going to use all the “parts” for.

@mclaincausey and @SKT ,.and so it begins, alone:the beast ep1!

[SKT]

It’s nuts and I have some questions after watching episode 1 [mention]Joberwocky [/mention]

[Joberwocky]

I finished the first episode and it wasn't quite what I was expecting.  Don't think it would be a self-contained episode.  I'm currently watching alone s7 and its been enjoyable @SKT

[SKT]

[mention]Joberwocky [/mention] I’m new to the whole genre so it was all a surprise to me. I like that she went grouse hunting with a moose scapula…don’t see that every day. I think the other “contestants” may have cried “bat” too soon and jumped ship. I think when someone bails, the producers should give a tool to the remaining people to compensate. It kind of felt like she was Leo in “The Revenant”, minus the bear actually attacking.

@jordanscollected:

I'm planning to sign up for another month of HBO to watch 100 foot wave and White Lotus.

White Lotus is fantastic. Finished it last week.

I'm on episode three and am absolutely LOVING it…

I feel confident you will find it just keeps getting better. Armand is a complete fucking hero.

[SKT]

You guys have convinced me to keep going on White Lotus. I’ll jump into episode 2 tonight.

It is a matter of taste of course, but if you didn't like ep.1 it may not be for you. It is basically a six episode movie. That being said, there is a lot more sex, drugs and white anxiety going forward and it is pretty fucking funny at times.

[Joberwocky]

I'm watching the first episode of White Lotus and it's great, I did not know what to expect coming in

@neph93:

Armand is a complete fucking hero.

I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with Armond… Currently watching the bar scene where he's pounding whiskey, offering to fuck the other fella... Pure gold...

[Joberwocky]

I'm on the third episode, Armond is stealing the show

[Giles]

Paula and I have never really watched a lot of TV, so we missed out on a shit load of good stuff over the years.

Last night we watched the first 3 eps of The Sopranos - better late than never.

Not surprisingly, we loved it….

That is a wonderful position to be in. You’re both in for a treat.
