Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad
I see them as spiritual parallels to each other, a lot of oddly similar parallels between Hal and Walt.

So, this is how I see the shows in a nutshell:
Malcolm in the Middle - when Bryan Cranston's character gets a lot of sex.
Breaking Bad - when Bryan Cranston's Character gets almost no sex.

The show tone, character arcs, emotional states, and everything else all flows out of this single difference between the two.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Around the Network

Our Oceans, narrated by Barack Obama, showing me proof that humanity is way overpopulated.



Spider-Noir: I wasn't really anticipating this one but it still sunk its fangs into me surprisingly fast and didn't let go. Fully leaning into the classic noir setting was a lot of fun (watch in black and white!) and Cage brought his signature personality. I was so invested in the detective plot that I wasn't even waiting for the Spider segments, lol. The villains were surprisingly well fleshed out and amusing, too. Would definitely watch more if they made it.

Masters of the Universe: I like how they leaned into the power metal fantasy but I wish they'd stop undercutting movies like this with self deprecation. He-Man is a silly franchise but good camp knows that and owns it; it doesn't constantly nod to the audience going, "haha, isn't this stupid, guys?"



The Sheep Detectives. Incredibly underrated. Will make you laugh but make you cry too.



Around the Network

Disclosure Day: Not one of Spielberg's best, but still has all the flavor of his now numerous alien contact films. Mind reading scenes are always fun to watch.

The Furious: Wasn't blown away by it like many seem to be, but it is a good R rated martial arts flick (The Raid is still in a class all by itself for me). They did save their best fight for the end though and it is impressively choreographed.



Watched both Rush Hour movies back-to-back the past couple of days, the only 2 worth checking out and revisiting that is.

I’ll always maintain that while 1 is technically the better movie, 2 will always make me laugh more and harder, which is what you watch a comedy to get. 2 did the fish out of water (their foreign partner not culturally blending in) jokes better (el oh el @ Chris Tucker’s attempts at Chinese) and had the funnier versions of recycled jokes from the first movie. It also helps that Lee and Carter are full-on bros and not unwilling cop partners in the sequel and allowed to cook, their chemistry was sick.

Wonder if we'll end up getting that 4th one and if it'll be any good. The first two are action comedy classics.
