Never heard of it. 


Just tried it, and I found it kind of irritating.  Takes too long to get from 1 question to the next.

Oh that sucks and it's so freaking common nowadays.

Quote from: Legend on Aug 10, 2026, 05:05 AMIt's so funny watching old shows like that. Where it just is so shamelessly written for a single point in time instead of being timeless.

Another funny one is when a take ages just so freaking poorly. Army of the Dead, that Zack Snyder film, was filmed pre covid. So a big plot point was about how quarantines and lockdowns and all the basic stuff from covid are evil and bad. Just so weird watching it in 2021, having it come across as if it was a right wing film even though it was the opposite.

I feel like the show is a bit over the top politically.

Like we're in some covid episodes right now. And some of the characters will make a really big deal about the fact that they're wearing a mask. 
Sometimes it's natural, other times it's like "I'm going to walk into that guy's house, with my mask on, and break his legs"

Ah, yeah. That felt very natural point to bring up that you're wearing a mask.

The next episode apparently involves the George Floyd incident. The episode we just watched ended with a video of it being shared, that also didn't feel natural to me. They make it feel like it was shared from a 10 second video.
