WKRP
As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Easily my fave episode of WKRP.

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Even you folks that don’t celebrate thanksgiving. It’s always nice to remember how lucky we are. Family, friends, or whatever you appreciate or love.

Rocky five is probably in my top 3 rocky movies 2,6,5 , demo man for rat burgers that looked really tasty and the three sea shells, cliffhangers god awful.

Why does rocky five get so much hate anyway? Beats today when a down and out sports star goes on big. Rather to stay relevant

The first time I saw Cliffhanger (maybe in theatre) I thought it was great. Saw it a couple years ago and thought it was dreadful. Not sure what I liked about it the first time.

For me personally, Rocky 3-5 are all pretty bad and plagued by bad acting/direction and forced melodrama. The reason why I rank 5 the worst is because it offers nothing to break these things up, it's just boring and Tommy isn't particularly memorable. 3 and 4 at least offer enough over-the-top camp to be somewhat watchable. One positive thing I will say for 5 is that it at least moves away from the "Rocky is a superhero" vibe in 3 and 4. I mean, sure, 3 and 4 say he's weaker, and they have training segments, but they never once make you feel like he isn't going to be the triumphant hero beating the big mean bad guys. That was a bad departure from 1 and 2, and 5 at least moved away from that by presenting him as punchy. In fairness, maybe I should watch it again, it's been about a decade. But for now, I'd rank them 2, Balboa, 1, Creed, 4, 3, 5.

If I had to pick only between Dredd and Demo Man, I'd pick Dredd (as the worst). Although I secretly kinda don't think the Stallone Dredd was as bad as "everyone" says it is, it's still not on a par with Demo Man.

Do yourself a favor and watch Godless on Netflix. Absolutely outstanding.

The worst thing about it is that it's only a 7 episode mini-series, so now I'm sad it's over.

Glad you're enjoying it too man! It gets even better after the first couple episodes.

Great story, incredible cinematography, and the soundtrack was outstanding as well.
