You'll have to wait for the rest of the season, but yeah the first episode was excellent.

Rick & Morty Season 3 spoilers...
So Rick broke free, destroyed the Galactic Federation, got his daughter to divorce Jerry, destroyed the council of Ricks and basically got everything he ever wanted.

Chances he is still in the Brainalyzer?

I just finished watching MST3K: The Return. It's great, once you get past Tom Servo not being Kevin Murphy (Seriously, the dude was Tom for nine out of ten years. Crow's voice changes every seven years anyway, so that was easier to deal with.) The final host segment in the season finale, though, wow.
They killed Jonah! It's a bit dark, really. Kinda outta left field. But maybe he ain't dead? I dunno, it was crazy.

I'm really loving the new season of Samurai Jack.

I mean, the whole series leaves open the possibility that wide swaths of it were completely fake for any number of reasons.

But of course, a ret-con like that can only happen once or twice a season.

I just saw Hamilton. It lives up to the hype.

Damn that was a solid work!

I preferred the touring cast to the original one.

Those are actually minutes 9 through 11 of the show. Being a Netflix original, they put the title and opening credits in way late.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

My mistake. I forget that the credits weren't the opening of the show.

Cars 3 was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I thought I was just gonna be stuck in an unsatisfying movie for the sake of my nephew but I was very surprised to end up enjoying it.

Finished Little Witch Academia TV; the ending knocked it out the park and the entire show oozes charm and craft. It hits Netflix in July, and the OVAs are already there.

I am adoring the quality, writing, and worldbuilding of Unsounded. I especially love the 'physics' of the magic system, and have had urges to kit-bash an RPG around it, but I wonder if it's perhaps too detailed for that.

i just watched a short clip of the graham norton show with Huge Jackedmann, Sir Stewing Patrick and Sir Ian Mccalebman. And it made me realize something quite astonishing:
In the Movie LOGAN they had to make Sir Patrick Steward look old artificially x.x

Yeah, him and Keanu Reeves and a few others just do not appear to really get older for some reason . .

Little Witch Academia cour 1 is on Netflix now, along with the first two OVAs. If you remember the Notnia thread idea, it's basically that, but with rich visuals and really fun animation.
