π§ The Telepathy Tapes β A friend recommended I listen to this and I tore through it a few weeks ago. It’s about autistic people and how apparently literally all of them are telepathic. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster that goes:
- π very skeptical
- π omg they have some kids with 100% hit rate on mind reading??? wtf this will change everything
- π why are we talking about angels and aliens and seeing the future and shit? like can we focus on the literal testable mind reading?
Anyway, “The Hill”, a thing in the show where autistic people go in their mind to hang out with each other, regardless of where they live in the world, is a cool concept and would at least make a good TV show. Also Science Vs. was not impressed.
π₯ Caddo Lake β On my flight back from Alaska I watched M. Night Shyamalan’s Caddo Lake and was very in the mood for it. Why was the gator cut in half? And then actually learning why without being beat over the head about it. It was working for me. I like that his movies ride that A/B movie line. I almost wish he made twice as many movies with half the budget. I came home that night and watched Trap just to keep scratching that itch and I think it’s scratched now.
π§ Walkin’ About β Listening to some of this as Matt Haughey said it was good.
π Long Bright River β Reading this as Katy Decorah said it was good. I’m only just learning it’s a show too now so I’ll avoid that until I’m done.
I also obviously ripped through Severance and White Lotus like a good little media consumer. Really A+ golden age of TV stuff. I might need a TV break but we’ll see. I started The Studio with Seth Rogan, maybe that’ll stick. I’ve heard endless good stuff about Hacks so feel kinda compelled to try that. Wild card: I started Merlin, the BBC series, and it feels like the kinda slightly off the beaten path TV I need right now.
