Just started Wild Wild Country about a religious cult in the 70's that moved into Oregon.

I won't spoil exactly what happened, but I will say that there was a forensic Files episode about the cult.

There are elements that sort of strain credibility, just as there was in Hell or High Water, that makes more sense if you view both films as westerns that are set in the present day.

Spoilers below for both films, Wind River especially

Spoiler:

Each of those would make more sense in 1880 than in the present, but each film makes that work.

I thought it was much better than the other BP noms I've seen:

Get Out- Good, but c'mon

3BB- I like more than most, but still prefer WR

Fish ****er- No Thank You

I probably like HoHW more than all of these as well, at least Get Out and Fish movie for sure. This guy's got potential

I bet you will, except maybe III. I once missed a day of school because I meant to watch the first ten minutes or so late in the evening; when I got a DVD box set. It was quite incredible actually.

Wind River is like a really good Lifetime movie. It was a decent watch but hardly great

Is MAD MEN worth watching? I hear all this talk how its a great show top 5 show, as good as BB on and on and I saw only the first ep and felt I had to watch 6-7 more eps to see if its worth.

what do you guys think?

I like series like this but it would be far more interesting to d one on manson or someone way more prevalent

Mad Men is the best tv show of all time imo. Even if it's not as high on other people's lists, no one with a brain would tell you it's NOT worth watching.

I watched the first Mad Men season, then the premiere of season 2 and dropped it. After season 3's "Shut the door. Have a seat" finale, and the praise it got, I decided to give it another shot from the beginning. Loved it from Ep1 on that time. One of my better TV watching decisions.

It's definitely the former.

Also, if you enjoy this show, be sure to check out Yama Channel on YouTube, where studio personality Yama-chan (the guy with the glasses) provides a hilarious monologue of bonus commentary following each episode (not sure if there are English subtitles though).

Finally, a small preview of Season 2: prepare to be blown away by one of the new House residents.

Grunching,

Big Mouth is a really funny adult cartoon (Netflix Original).

I'm thru 7 of the 10 episodes and have thought each one was really funny. Multiple laughs per episode.

Really enjoyed Mad Men. Behind The Sopranos and The Wire for me, haven't seen BB (I know, I know).

Nailed It.

3 bakers who aren't good at baking try and replicate well made desserts. Winner gets 10k.

Refreshing to watch people who are flat awful in a type of show like this. Lots of laughs along the way and only 30 minutes per episode.
