THAT is an unexpected conversation… banjo players talking about Kurosawa Speaking of Kurosawa, I hate to admit it, but I do love The Mandalorian. I am torn because I quit supporting Disney a while ago (and I double down on that from time to time… I am not sure how you further quit supporting when you have already quit supporting) , but The Mandalorian is really well done and it echoes nice elements of early Lucas and how he was influenced by Kurosawa and Sergio Leone.
On the broader topic… yeah, not much good on TV that I have seen in a while, but then again, I don’t have “TV” except during basketball season. Series I have enjoyed include The Mandalorian, Stranger Things, X-Files, Battlestar Gallactica (reboot), Heroes (season 1 was brilliant), Sherlock, Justified, early Walking Dead, the Vikings. My wife enjoys true crime stuff and some of it is interesting. I didn’t sleep well for a while after she watched a series called “Wives with Knives”
