Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

Movies. Specifically movies I’ve already seen. I’ve been hogging it up on the YouTube free movies with ads because lol adblocker magic fingers

I swear to god whoever they got making these pulls it’s obscene how good their choices are. You got slop like Mars Attacks! right next to more serious stuff like HEAT and I love it. I’m binging shit from the 70s and 80s currently. The Exorcist is on there! My brain is so off while watching these films and I’m enjoying the mini vacation it provides. There’s also tons of free B movies from uploads and the Mosfilm YouTube channel has all the old Soviet cinema you can shake a stick at. It rules. I’m a pig in shit.
