What was the last TV Show or Movie you saw, and did you like it?

[Chance]

We were pointed to Alton Brown and "Good Eats" by PFers, and have since become yuge fans of the show. While there's a pretty large library of episodes to work our way through, we were still pretty disappointed that we'd found the series after it was already off the air. So when I swung by Amazon to pick up the next season on our list and saw this...



...I squealed in a manner which was rather unbecoming. Basically, this series is a place holder while Alton and crew bring "Good Eats" proper back to the air.

The premise of the show is that Alton revisits classic episodes to update recipes, correct the occasional errant fact, add supplementary material, or give some trivia about the filming. For instance, in the first episode, he goes through how to cure a cast iron pan, which was something he never did in the original series.

Some episodes feature more updated material than others, but if you're a fan of the series, it's still a lot of fun. I'm not sure how many "Good Eats: Reloaded" seasons he's planning, but I hope to see more in the future.

Episodes | Good Eats: Reloaded | Cooking Channel

Lists 13 reloaded episodes.

Don't think he's planning on a second season of these, since hes reviving the show.

I'd ask on Twitter, but I don't think he liked that I corrected his pronunciation of "pasty". (When speaking of the Cornish/Michigander pocket meal, it rhymes with "nasty" albeit it is anything but.)

I was told the same thing about the pronunciation by a guy who was friends with the guy who started "Mr. Pasty"

Those who enjoyed the show might enjoy reading Don Winslow's novels: "The Power of the Dog" and "The Cartel".

Am just about done listening to chapter one of Power of the Dog on Audible. Going to go hit the treadmill and listen some more now.

Loving Pablo

Starring Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. Overall, the least satisfying of the Pablo Escobar pics of the last few years. Bardem is good, as he always is, but Cruz is grating in her delivery and the material she's given makes for a caricaturish performance. In fact, the whole movie borders on caricature and I'm sure this wasn't the intent. Give Killing Pablo or Narcos another watch if you need to be reminded what a cluster fuck everything in the Americas south of the Rio Grande really is.

Speaking of the latter: Narcos Mexico: not quite as engaging initially as the previous seasons, it does deliver by the end. Not a bad continuation for the series.

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE on NETFLIX was a great show. The middle episodes were the high point.

We watched the first episode. (Maybe two?) Haven't been inspired to return to it (yet).

The 5th and 6th episodes made me hopeful learning that the writer/director of THHH is bringing the sequel to THE SHINING to the cinema.

It gets better, not by much but better. It shares little in common with the book or the original movie.

I'll probably pass in that case. Neither of us has given it much thought since we first watched.
