We just finished the five-part The American Experiment and loved it. It covers the events leading up to and surrounding the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, and ends with the transition from Washington to Adams. Several historians and analysts and provide the narration, and a few politicians join in as well. It wouldn't ruin it for you if you went straight to the last episode which begins with January 6 and Mike Pence talking about why he did what he did, but then goes back to the ratification of the Constitution and what the founders were thinking. The series was the perfect way to observe the semiquincentennial. Watch it.

I watched "The Northman" the other day. Has been on my queue for a while. Has some big stars and the shots in Iceland are amazing. But holy cow, what an awful movie otherwise. Do not recommend."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I thought the plot in general was absurd. And not a single likable character.Originally posted by falafel View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I went back and watched Midnight Mass again recently, because a friend is watching for the first time and he keeps texting me about it. So, I wanted to refresh my memory on the series. Honestly, almost just as good the second time through. Since I already knew the major plot points and spoilers, I was able to watch through a different lens, and I picked up on a bunch of things I missed the first time. Even a second time through, the cinematography is amazing, and the storytelling is also top notch. The actor who plays Father Paul absolutely kills it.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Death of the Pastor's Wife is mind-blowing. My wife and I were both yelling at the TV.
