Emperor of Ocean Park





Some hollow acting aside there's enough content and interesting story threads presented in the first episode to get me to come back for more. Who is tied to what? Will secrets be revealed about a double life filled with sinister actions become a revelation or are some already in the know? Time will tell

I like when shows like this involve me right out the gate. There's charm and humor with heart. It's interesting that some of the tech featured in this show was actually recently purchased by a relative of mines. It's crazy how the simplest conversation can reveal so much about a person.

They NEED to bring this back

Yeah - it's one of those shows that is worthwhile. In a perfect world, they'd get picked up on another platform.


Side note ... I've been reading Alan Sepinwall's reviews in recent years (critic at Rolling Stone). Interesting hearing that him and Dan Fienberg used to co-host their own show years back.


That one was completely off my podcast radar (I've been listening to podcasts since 2009-2010) and I need to track down some of those old episodes too, lol.

This documentary about Faye Dunaway
Definitely tapped into her upbringing to bring the intensity to the roles she takes on
It's really incredible to see the trends she started and really Cosplay started decades ago when you look at the reels for the premeire of Bonnie and Clyde . I love that it's mainly in her own words and point of view,the raw emotion on display, longing for privacy especially when it came to her son and of course all of the behind the scenes stuff with Chinatown, The Thomas Crown Affair,Network and Mommie Dearest


The Acolyte season finale


I wish the show had maintained a rhythm and pace that was in this episode. As a whole the series was weighted down by bad wrting and inconsistencies with its characters. Far to much tip toeing around which made the structure of the show unstable. This episode not only made me want to see a season 2 because I feel it finally found it's footing but opens up so many questions about a couple of characters and the Sith. Especially a certain power that was displayed that could have solved a lot problems in SW TV shows and films that come after this story in the timeline. I do wonder if this power was forbidden by the Jedi but only used by the Sith who seemingly only used it at this time in SW history. The show was so badly received I'm not even sure if there will be a season 2.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

Glad to hear it. Always good to have Godfather of Harlem in the rotation. Let’s hope for 1st or 2nd quarter of 2025.
