Started Monarch (the Godzilla show with Lirt Russel) on
+ and am loving it. Had to go back and watch the movies as I’m a sucker for cinematic universes. Highly recommend for sci fans. Be sure to look up “MonsterVerse” on Wikipedia for a roadmap to all the shows and movies involved. -
Watching “Love Has Won” on HBO about a mentally ill malignant narcissistic sociopath (armchair shrink opinion here) who somehow got others to buy into her thesis that she is god. Hippie cult of mentally ill drug addicts and conspiracy theorists right here in Colorado.
It’s glorious. I can’t understand the nonsense they’re spewing and keep wondering if they can hear what they’re saying.
But it’s also sad that vulnerable people get snookered into these things.
Basically, think of it as “The Karen Who Thought She Was God.”
-
@mclaincausey the wife and I are watching this one as well.
These people are stoned out of their minds most of the time
"Mother" also loves buying trinkets off Amazon??
-
They definitely embrace being in altered states at all times but I blame mental illness first and foremost.
The Karen is a full blown alcoholic who abandoned her children and goes through men and calls each fling the reining “Father God” most of these have been hippie types but she decided to bring in a somewhat menacing fella off the street who’s more of a Pantera-jamming meth head and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Agreed - the manic vibes are hard to ignore
-
My wife and I are kind of laughing at them in disbelief and I have to keep reminding myself that these are vulnerable people who are being exploited and abused to temper my instinct to mock them. Which is hard to do. But man are people … interesting.

Marcia has been watching this train wreck, and I made her put the headphones in so I didn’t have to listen to them any more. Of course, now I’m still reading the subtitles…
What’s most interesting to me is that since they live streamed themselves 24/7 there’s so much bonkers footage. I can’t imagine what they had to sift through to make a coherentish narrative.
-
They make Keith Rainere sound comparatively lucid, which I would have never imagined possible.

I love the “how to” series on Netflix.
I’ve long found cults morbidly fascinating.
-
@Steve yea, the entire audio and "the Florida fight scene" where killer
-
@Steve my wife and I quite enjoyed it too. I thought the beginning sort of dragged a little but overall quite liked it.
-
@Matt one for Katie (to make up for September 2022)?
-
Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix. Is awesome. That is all.
Take the dive...
-
@endo not yet, but it’s on our watch list. Recommended?
-
@pechelman intrigued. Mrs H and I are halfway through, and if the baby wasn’t going to be up at dawn we’d be powering through to finish it. Mrs H even said that she wishes we hadn’t made plans for NYE tomorrow as she just wants to see what happens next.
