October 2, 20195 yr comment_430846 TV thread? Movie thread? Not really sure but I have some things I wanted to share... Netlfix released season 3 of Hip Hop Evolution early last month and I forgot to post that here. I really enjoyed this season but I've enjoyed ALL the seasons. Great story telling. A big part of this season is the rise of the Jiggy era. Even if you're not a big hip-hop fan, I think the storytelling and cultural relevance may be interesting to a lot of people. Along the same theme, I recently watched Nas: Time Is Illmatic https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3549508/ It's documentary of Nas' life leading up to the release of Illmatic from 2014. It was certainly interesting to me but I don't consider it a great documentary. I watched it on Kanopy. A reminder to those in Winnipeg that, with a Winnipeg Public Library card (account), you get access to 5 shows (credits) per month on Kanopy. There is some weird and cool stuff on there. If you haven't checked it out recently, you should. They've added some old catalogues. I finally watched Chinatown, which, embarrassingly, I had not seen before. Also on Kanopy now, Country Music (A Film by Ken Burns) has been added. I'm very excited to watch this one. I'm a big fan of Ken Burns and his documentaries.

George Strait...the king of country music.....gets only a brief mention. Yaaaaaaa, I dunno.....but it was good.

Thanks for the tip on Kanopy, I'll have to check that Nas documentary out. I watched the the new Evolution season as it came out... so good!

More info here: https://guides.wpl.winnipeg.ca/e/movies But they're not as good as Kanopy.
October 2, 20195 yr comment_430851 Haven't been following this thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but Big Mouth season three comes out on Friday. Do yourself a favour and watch this show, because it's freaking hilarious. Incredibly no-holds-barred look at puberty by some awesome comedians.

I thought they finished it up quickly mid 90s to today but I think that’s probably as it should be. Just be thankful Taylor Swift was in it for half a second. As for George Strait and others getting the short shrift I think you’re right but they probably saw him and figured Garth Brooks is pretty much the same type of guy.

It was done on purpose to end where they did. He did the same thing for the baseball documentary then about 15 years later did a new episode. Also these documentaries take about a decade to do.

October 15, 20195 yr comment_434642 well this is not going to be like the Grease I'm used to is it? and considering that it'll be on an HBO app https://tvline.com/2019/10/15/grease-rydell-high-hbo-max-musical-spinoff-series-order/
October 16, 20195 yr comment_434795 Magic Johnson was terrible lots of videos that made fun of him. One episode had Howard Stern who completely embarrassed him on his own show. The episode with Artie Langue on the Joe Buck show was super cringe. He nearly had Buck in tears. Both are must watch though super funny.

October 18, 20195 yr comment_435260 well, Fox has it's first Animated Prime Time hit since Bob's Burgers (seriously most of the new animated shows on that network have been flops) https://tvline.com/2019/10/18/bless-the-harts-renewed-season-2-fox/ not so happy news for Bluff City Law though https://tvline.com/2019/10/18/bluff-city-law-cancelled-ending-season-1-nbc/ Edited October 18, 20195 yr by iHeart
October 18, 20195 yr comment_435264 I don't know if this has been mentioned before but "The Righteous Gemstones" starring John Goodman is hilarious. Premise[edit] The Righteous Gemstones centers on a family of televangelists and megachurch pastors led by widowed patriarch Eli Gemstone (John Goodman). Eli and his bickering children, Jesse (Danny McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson), and Kelvin (Adam DeVine) live opulent lifestyles funded by their congregations' tithing, and work to expand their network of megachurches, making enemies of the pastors of existing churches, such as Rev. John Wesley Seasons (Dermot Mulroney). This expansion leads them to reconnect with Eli's estranged brother-in-law, "Baby" Billy Freeman (Walton Goggins), whom they tap to lead their newest church.
