What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

We had never seen Doctor Zhivago. The first hour was a little tough, but I can see why it received the accolades/awards. (Although apparently critics were tough on it at the time of release).
Guess I'll have to read the book.

It's been several years since I've seen Dr. Zhivago. I enjoyed it and remember it being quite long.

After watching the trailer...I want to watch it again.

Here's a screen shot of a tobacco shop in the trailer...if you blink, you'll miss it.

Joe Pera Talks With You

A teacher (Joe Pera) in Michigan's Upper Peninsula explores of variety of subject matters.

Joe Pera Talks With You. One of the most brilliant, honest, folksy, kindhearted, dry, slightly absurdist, with a sprinkle of Andy Kaufman comedy series. Seasons 1&2 are streaming on Adult Swim and HBO Max. Won’t be for everyone, but I recommend it enough.

Here’s Joe Pera’s standup on Conan:

I just sprang for a year of Disney+. I have been wanting to watch The Mandalorian and other Star Wars related stuff. I am in to S1 E5. Thus far, I would rate it 5/5 for this genre.

You’re in for a treat. Season 2 was even better than the already excellent season 1. Lots of Star Wars deep dive inside baseball references if your to that thing.

Trailer Park boys - Dont F$%king Legalize it

I had somehow missed this one.. John, I'm gonna give this one 4/5. well done, very funny stuff.

Right now, Bubble Guppies.

It’s about a 7-8 season series illustrating the various challenges faced by a group of seemingly parentless, culturally diverse students in a semi-surreal environment and they’re learning to navigate these difficulties from their teacher who comes from a typically marginalized demographic.

It’s honestly one of those shows that’s so powerful, I’m positive that even young children could learn a lesson, or two, by watching it.

Just about to enjoy watching "Casablanca" on TCM. It is just a great movie.

Murdock Mysteries on Hulu.

rewatching Jeeves and Wooster. One of the greatest shows of all time. It's probably my number three favorite. Number one is always going to be Dark Shadows, number two Home Movies.

Ive been watching The Critic. Its a cartoon from the 90's by John Lovitz. Its good for nostalgia.. only ran 2 seasons so maybe it didn't go over so well back then.

Its free on Crackle.. https://www.crackle.com/watch/1491/2487266

We are watching a series on Prime called Fortitude. Pretty bizarre. A small Arctic town under Norwegian rule is beset by a pre-historic sort of plague. Its getting kind of "Lost-like" but, we're in too deep now. lol

I saw both movie motorcycles at a museum in NY (Motorpedia MC Museum, outstanding). The Billy Bike was lost, so that was a recreation. The history of these movie choppers is pretty controversial.

Behind The Motorcycles In 'Easy Rider,' A Long-Obscured Story

The alleged last authentic motorcycle used in the 1969 film Easy Rider is going up for auction. The man who designed the bikes, Clifford Vaughs, says he has never gotten proper credit for his work.

Thanks for the link, that was a really interesting piece on an iconic bike.

Cheers, mate?
