It's going to be a shot for shot remake of the Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos, but with Will and Carlton instead of Paulie and Christopher. 59 minutes ago, Swift said: I'm not usually one of those "pop culture is in the doldrums" kinda people but I'm a little grouchy lately - holy shit the last few posts in this thread have been about two reboots of 90s shows, a prequel to a 70s movie, the making of a 70s movie, a TV series based on a movie and a TV series based on a video game. I just looked up Gaslit thinking that was probably the only original thing here and even that's based on a podcast. Someone mentioned Archive 81 previously. I watched that this past weekend and really enjoyed it. Apparently it too is based on a podcast. Good or not, it's just another sign of IPs just being transferred from one medium to another instead of created originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yeah and I guess I'm not that bothered by stuff like podcasts or even video games. After all, films based on books have been around since day one. I guess it's just the corporate greed aspect of "how much money can we squeeze out of our existing content for the nerds to lap up now?" that is annoying me. A Grease prequel? Come on. I'm reminded of Patton Oswalt's "Remember Darth Vader? Here he is as a little kid" bit. In 20 years time, we'll all be watching the origin story of the chick with three tits from Total Recall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if anybody came out, and admitted they stole that idea from Fresh Prince. Lets face it both episodes are the pinnacle of each program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Nah, it’ll be some hack that did one shitty Sundance film who will do a more dramatic telling of the origin story of the three titted hooker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I watched the first 3 episodes of Murderville on Netflix and they're tremendous. Marshawn Lynch is a treasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I hope season 2 of Raised By Wolves has an audience. This season looks even better than the last. I’m even more in love with the  science fiction book cover setting here. Edited February 6, 2022 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Stipulating that comedy is highly subjective, and with the understanding that mileage is going to vary greatly with this show’s particular conceit: MURDERVILLE is a delight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We watched the first three episodes with the Nanjiani episode being by far the funniest. The footballer one was ok, but honestly I was disappointed with Conan O'Brien. I thought for sure that he'd be all over the improv trying to make Arnett corpse but he was fairly subdued.

Mister TV Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I’m up to the Annie Murphy episode, I think it’s the best one so far. HBO Sunday Night!  Spoiler Euphoria was super intense and I can see this episode turning a lot of people off the show. The first part with Rue, her mom, sister and Jules should get Zendaya every award she’s up for, that whole scene was scary real and her performance is why. The last part of the episode and everything so far with that drug dealer seems like it’s from a modern version of Go Ask Alice, the show really doesn’t need that.  The Gemstones had some funny parts but the assassin stuff is silly, I’m assuming the pastor from the first episode is the one behind it.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah, Murderville is top notch and such a novel concept. It's weird to wrap your brain around a TV series that is acting as something of a game show with celebrities, but is in actuality a police procedural with guest celebs that have no script and everything is improved. Also, everyone is basically trying to make the celebs break. Conan was surprisingly strong and didn't crack as much as I expected until they were interrogating the magician. Arnett throwing the chair back in astonishment was just too much for Conan though. On the other hand, Kumail feels like someone you could point at and he would just start laughing, which I like. Laughter is great. I mean, this is something that seems too convoluted to work and it totally does. I also had no idea Reacher was out. I'm up to episode 4 or 5 and...I think I like it? Or rather...I think this is good? In a way, it feels a little like Banshee, which instantly gets you points from me. Hell, even the character Roscoe on Reacher reminds me of Siobhan on Banshee. The dude playing Reacher is a total brick shithouse, but sadly isn't that good of an actor. He's fine. I've seen a whole lot worse and I'm sure he'll get better. My first thought seeing him was, well, here's your next Superman except he may be too jacked to be Superman. Anyway, Reacher is worth a watch. It being Banshee lite is enough for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Thank you for reminding me that Murderville is on Netflix and that I need to watch it. The trailer was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Murderville is based on a British show Murder in Successville. I haven't seen it (I believe someone has uploaded the episodes to YT) but it sounds a lot funnier actually. Successville is a town where a ton of celebrities live and they show up as murder victims/suspects (impersonated obviously) so you get an episode description like this - "The detectives learn that pharmacist Lindsay Lohan has been spray-tanned to death, before tonight's beauty pageant organized by businessman Russell Brand, a pageant in which Sleet and gym owner Vladimir Putin are judges, and psychopathic killer Kim Kardashian is a contestant." or this "A call to Lady Gaga's mansion over a case of topiary vandalism soon leads to the discovery of a murder and its time for new recruit Deborah Meaden to partner with DI Sleet and discover whether Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Jay-Z, Boris Johnson or Nicki Minaj is responsible."

One episode in, and its like a Justified light. Nowhere near as good as that program. It’s Funny, I felt the same way about the films. But I do like it even with its short comings. It’s my kind of junk food TV. Reminds me that I need to watch Jack Ryan for even more junk food TV.

Yeah you can quickly find it on Youtube - though if you live in the UK they are blocked. Tom Davis is in the role that Will Arnett is doing in Murderville It is a real trip to see who is playing the celebrities in Successville - like discovering Rachel Parris playing Lady Gaga or Doc Brown as Lewis Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
