I've not watched all of this, but like whenever someone here says they found some cool leftists flick, I throw it on my jellyfin for a rainy day. This is a lot of it. Also there's a leftist movies torrent floating around here somewhere.

All the works of my favorite film director John Carpenter.

Zaboomafoo!

spoilerOnly joking, I just like saying zaboomafoo.

The show was mediocre.

I was reminded how much it rocked when I went to the Duke lemur center years ago and got to meet the Zaboomafoo family. They’re dope

You should let us know what sort of things you like

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have the space so it doesn't entirely matter.

But my partner likes comedies primarily, shitty 2000's cop procedurals (already have everything they want to watch though) I'll watch anything, literally.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Does he have the intersections of police procedurals and comedy - Police Squad, Angie Tribeca, and NTSF:SD:SVU?

Damnation the 2017 show? I worked on it (uncredited :P) but it's hard to find people who've seen it. Did you enjoy it?

[–] grazing7264@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Damnation was amazing!! One of my favorite shows ever!! 🤯 quagsire-pog waow-based

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Yes! That's awesome! It's amazing, I can't believe it got made! I recommend it all the time!

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Two excellent British murder mystery shows--the former set in present-day northern England, the latter set in the south coast of WWII-era England. If I can only pick one, I'd give the edge to Vera, although both are superb.

Vera

Foyle's War

[–] tkw8@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Foyle’s War is excellent. I have the series. Will check out Vera.

  1. How To With John Wilson, it's kinda like Man With A Movie Camera (1929) but with interviews and in new york

  2. Nathan For You, a downright funny parody of Bar Rescue-esque live action shows

  3. The Rehearsal, another Nathan show, this one is equally hilarious.

  4. Joe Pera Talks With You, sorta like John Wilson but super chill and relaxing

  5. RAP WORLD, insane mockumentary of insane motherfuckers in 2009

  6. Atlanta, a magical-realist show about a college dropout trying to make it in the music manager industry

  7. Andor, a star wars show (ew), but its really fucking good, it's about revolutionaries.

  8. The Bear, a show about a failing family sandwich shop, its haute-cuisine owner, and their struggles to keep it afloat.

  9. BARRY, a depressed hitman tries to break into the acting world

  10. The Orville, Star Trek 2

  11. Get Out, really good jordan peele horror movie

  12. Sorry to Bother You, i fucking love Boots Riley

  13. Uncut Gems, an incredibly stressing movie about a gambler and his big shiny rock

  14. The Curse, also directed by one of the Safdie brothers, this is an incredibly stressing show about a white liberal couple, starring Nathan fielder from Nathan for you

  15. Knives Out, neat little Whodunnit.

  16. Glass Onion, same director, neat little Whodunnit, but a little worse than Knives Out

  17. Fired On Mars, pretty neat, emotionally honest adult animated comedy, kinda different from its peers

  18. This World Won't Tear Me Down, another emotionally honest adult animated comedy about an Italian Cartoonist trying to survive the socio-political landscape of suburban Rome (the narrator fellow sometimes speaks too fast for people's liking, it also doesn't help that it was translated from a roman dialect)

  19. Arcane, straight up beautiful animated show with an un-paralleled cgi artstyle, Season 1 is definitely more solid than 2, though.

In all seriousness: Riverdale - the complete stumbling mess of a crappy teen drama escalating itself into whatever the fuck it is by season 3 is honestly something to see. It's the terminal state of "yes and" improv brain rot to the point that in season 2 a character's eyes change colour for no reason but to make him the suspect in serial killings. I'm only partway through season 4 myself so I don't know if it falls off at any point but right now, hard recommend, especially if you can get some mates to watch it with.
