@mclaincausey That song was originally released in 1990,and at that time it was considered pretty risqué. She definitely leaned into it during their live performances.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 yeah my mom was grievously horrified and offended

[Brian]

started the gentleman last night so far so good

On the contrary, @Giles to me a woman talking about masturbation is woke AF. I have no doubt that woman is empowered and doesn’t care about traditional expectations as to how she should behave or what she is allowed to say.

Good point. Though I am pretty sure that if it was released for the first time today, it would cause mayhem in certain circles.....

@Giles Here's the scene from the TV show.
Yeah, we watched it last night.

@JoshC Just decided to watch Shogun, really enjoyed the first episode!

[JoshC]

@jiminstitches ayy, awesome im sure you will continue to enjoy it, it is very good and the episodes are just getting better.

[Matt]

@JoshC I assume you’ve watched the Acolyte trailer several times over the last could days?

[JoshC]

@Matt "close your eyes... your eyes, can deceive you, we must not trust them, tell me what comes into your mind? haha.

oh yes, I'm actual looking forward to this, its looking a lot more practical in the effects, but even the feel of Jedi have a different aura (not as arrogant) compared to prequels Jedi which is nice. what's your thoughts? you excited for it?

[Nocturama]

@JoshC @Matt - where does The Acolyte sit within the (viewing) timeline?

I’ve been blasting through The Bad Batch of late, only to find that the last few S3 episodes haven’t been released yet…doh!

Need to decide whether to go back and watch The Clone Wars (the series) or go forward and watch The Book of Boba Fett then S3 of the Mandalorian (I have seen S1 and S2).

I haven’t seen any of the other series yet.

That is a very confusing statement. I guess the Jedi don’t understand how vision works?

[Matt]

@mclaincausey you mean like anti absolutist Yoda saying Do or do not, there is no try?

@JoshC i am really excited about it actually. Carrie Ann Miss looks badass.

@Nocturama this take place before all the shows. High Republic Era.

[Matt]

@Nocturama watching Clone Wars will allow you to watch everything else. There are tons of characters in all the subsequent shows introduced in CW. The first season was hard for me to get into but after that it was smooth sailing. Rebels was my favorite.

@Matt I feel like the character Eddie,in Deadloch,is like an Australian version of Susie from The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel,if she was a detective. Really loving it. 3 episodes left.

[Jett129]

@Matt Finished watching it last night,really enjoyed it. Favorite expressions were “Fuck me dead’ and “Off you pop’’ Also wins the award for the most frequent and creative use of the word “Cunt”

[Matt]

We’ve got the finale left to watch. Can’t wait.

[Nik]

While the first two or three episodes felt like a lot of work, Three Body Problem really paid off. Not consistently excellent. But a lot of originality and enjoyable thinking.

I may have missed any discussion of True Detective: Night Country here. Just made the mistake of looking at the True Detective Reddit thread, and need to know I wasn't the only one who thought it was great. I realise that reddit is full of wannabe sub-sigma, quasi incel chads, but the hate for it was poisonous.

[Jett129]

@neph93 I don’t think that there was a whole lot of discussion other than some people saying that they were watching it,which was enough to get me to watch it. Thought Jodi Foster absolutely killed it as did the rest of the cast,but as an actor she starts at “next level “ First one I’ve watched since the first season.
