YouTube video by Secret Galaxy The Tragic Failure of NBC's VOYAGERS! (1983)

This show was my JAM when I was little kid! Boredom was intense back in the days of yore LONG before the internet. Voyagers was a fun distraction.

Lestat, I've asked you several times not to look at me like that.

Oh goodie. I can now accept crypto via Paypal. That's a huge load off. And not a huge red flag at all. 😐

It usually drops later in the morning.

Enough flagships. Swiss Army knife synths were appealing back in the “noughties” but they lost their appeal at some point. These days I prefer a synth that’s super dialled in on something very specific and doesn’t punch me in the face with option paralysis.

We are so cooked.

Sure, he had his faults, but by season 2, I liked Ed...mostly... But I feel like they devolved him a bit just to provide some conflict for season 4. I don't think season 3 Ed would have made a lot of those decisions. He had already learned a lot of those hard lessons.

FAM is my favorite show. While the space race might have been triggered by geo-political forces, it doesn't change the reasons PEOPLE choose to go to space, and FAM is super focused on those people. This show reminds me of who we WANT to be, and that's really important right now.

There was a Ready or Not 1??

This might be my favorite show. Even its “weakest” seasons are fantastic. I’m also very excited for Star City. Who knew that, of all the streamers, Apple TV turned out to be the good guy.

I’m sorry, but no one can reproduce what Will Forte and Kristen Schaal brought to that show. It has to be them, it has to be THAT show.

It’s seriously troubling that EVERYTHING is tied up in this shit. EV—VERY—THING.

To this day, I’m STILL finding out that DS made the artwork for iconic movies I grew up with. 👀

Always down for a Fulci joint 🤌

Even if they dropped another “surprise” episode to undo the ending we got, that would be so jarring it would actually make it even worse. It’s over. Move on.

Yap

It’s all in the reflexes.

The Drew Struzan era was peak film poster. His art just made everything pop. You HAD to see a movie if it was rocking a Struzan poster.

Don’t give Buffalo Bill any ideas. 😬

The word of the day is…

Maybe keep a wet vac and teapot nearby for next stream 👀

Just finished the Stranger Things finale. No spoilers here. Just deep joy and gratitude for the Duffer Bros. As a child of the 80s, I feel like this show was made just for me. 🥹

What part of my profile suggests that I’m a neo-liberal capitalism enthusiast? There might be a lack of political content there, but there are reasons for that. Pointless arguments with leftists unwilling to internalize any criticism of the left being at the top of the list.

I see leftists still think other leftists are liberals when they encounter any criticism of the left.

How can you sit there and eat Cheeza?

I see leftists still enjoy splitting themselves up into just enough opposing sides to negate their effectiveness while the world burns. Stuff like this is why the right continues to trounce us and laugh at us while we provide more and more ammunition for them to use against us.

Every 2 or 3 years I give Netflix my money for a show that probably should've ended a long time ago, and I'm once again reminded that it's literally the only Netflix property that I care about. That show will end in just a few hours. Good luck in 2026, Netflix. You're gonna need it. 🫡

Part of me says "give it a chance and watch it before criticizing it". Another part of me has gotten the closure I wanted from Endgame and said my goodbyes. I don't need fan service. I enjoyed 10 years of these movies and I've moved on.

Toothpaste tube tops 🤌
