Currently watching Alien: Earth. It’s a slower burn than I would like, but it still delivers on some really neat sci-fi worldbuilding and fun grossout alien horror.
The director’s other work, Legion, was a phenomenal watch. A very artsy fartsy (in a good way) twist on a superhero show. Imagine if a high level telepath like Professor X was schizophrenic and saw trippy psychedelic visions all the time.
Also watching some anime:
- Dandandan. Supernatural action comedy. High school romance interspersed with fighting aliens and ghosts. Aliens abducted the protagonist’s testicles and he needs to fight to get them back
- Panty and Stocking. Flippantly vulgar and sexual comedy anime that loves to parody western media. An entire mini episode was devoted to Fast and the Furious… but all the characters are sperm racing to the egg. “Glominic Spermetto”
- Sakamoto Days. Action/comedy. Imagine if Jon Wick’s wife survived and they run a convenience store together. Other assassins show up to either work for him or get their asses kicked. Jon also got very fat in retirement.
