I’m Ryan from @ryan! Posting about just whatever TV nonsense amuses me or catches my eye from the vast realms of the content mines. Also on a long, absurd, joke-turned-increasingly-real quest to watch all of the Magnum P.I. Cinematic Universe in airdate order.

PSA: if there’s a show/movie you want a phrase/word supercut (or HQ GIF) made for, just let me know and I’ll see if I can make it happen

Ah, right. Time to explain "the Magnum P.I. Cinematic Universe"

Nobody asked, and I answered. Here's the definitive airdate viewing order for the Magnum, P.I. Cinematic Universe: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iIfpAEfaIjzOSmyXCQSB9r9HN4gv_6LkZh47P1S3Ne8/edit?usp=sharing

RIYL Eagleheart: Angie Tribeca
image search for simon and simon also pulls up simon and garfunkel, which, fair
“Ah, the illegal smuggling of mimes…no-one talks about it” (it’s S4E3 “City Limits”)
Lmao this MST3K “Man-Man! All the powers of a man but, he’s a man!”
Don’t just listen to me though, critics also loved it: https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/8/9/20798142/lodge-49-season-1-streaming-watch-season-2-premiere-review
Unfortunately, AMC never figured out how to market it and unceremoniously canceled it after two seasons. It’s still great, though!
Random show recommendation: Lodge 49. From a synopsis, you’d expect it’s yet another puzzle box TV series that relies on plot twists, but what it is instead is an intensely character-driven meditation on American culture.
people talk a lot about quicksand, but the media i consumed as a kid also has a lot more window-wiping going on than i encounter in my adult life
as evidenced by the contestants who get a hole-in-one and still want to do the obstacles
hypothesis: someone could make bank setting up a Holey Moley-style extreme mini golf / obstacle course where you sign a waiver and get to do game show style obstacles without the pressure of actually being on a game show
