TV/Movies Megathread

Caught up on QI (thanks, YouTube), and have started watching Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb. Is it bad if I recognize too much of myself in David Micthell's character?

Me too
"I'm not a freak. I'm a normal person!"

Must be said when rewatching it's quite sad to realise how old it now is.

When a book you have on your shelf (Anthony Beevor's Stalingrad) is used as a prop/joke, it's not hard to feel called out. Though I never talked about the Battle of Stalingrad to flirt with a woman.

Heh, I knew Jordan Peele was producing this, but the second episode of Lovecraft Country is essentially Get Out 

It is a fun show. Not what I was expecting, but fun.

I thought the second episode was ok. I thought they pussied out [spoiler]with bringing whatshername back from the dead. Now we know that nobody important in this show is ever actually in any danger. [/spoiler]

Well, [spoiler]the uncle did die, although that one follows the "wise mentor dies in the first act" rule. The girl has AC -10 plot armor due to being the love interest[/spoiler]. I was surprised, however, at how [spoiler]"final" the ending was, with the evil white dudes turning to cinder and the mansion collapsing[/spoiler]. Somebody mentioned that the original book is a collection of thinly interconnected stories, so I guess they are following that route, curious where it heads next.

Favorite bit of the episode was the scene of Hot Blondie Chick [spoiler]helping deliver the monster calf [/spoiler].

Started on The White Queen (TV show about ladies of the WOTR). Seems OK. It's not a big budget production, much (real) architecture is more Tudor than Plantagenet etc, but that's OK I think. The main chick is hot and there's boobs.

I've already watched the Mitchell & Webb Look and Situation shows.

How about Would I lie to You?  Lots of great David Mitchell there (and some Robert Webb). 

[Syt]

I've watched some of it, yes.

Try it.
You know you're onto a winner if it works.

I've only ever seen the clips of Bob Mortimer because he's one of my favourite comedians but enjoyed them a lot.

For David Mitchell greatness its also fun watching some of the older big fat quiz of the year episodes.

Peep Show is awesome.  I also like the eventual adding of Super Hans.

I love when he gets so genuinely upset by irrational behaviour.

There's some good QI bits too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6vLp07ZePY

His Instagram is a riot.

There's a wonderful supercut of him getting irate on WILTY.

Btw, on the later series of QI I really enjoyed their selection of regular female panelists, most notably Susan Calman, Aisling Bea, Holly Walsh, and Cariad Lloyd.

Yeah his podcast Athletico Mince is also a delight. He's a treasure.

Absolutely. I always thought Vic was the main comic genius of the two, now I'm not so sure.
