James and Hugh watched the new Bob Dylan doc on netflix, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese”
Wade didn’t watch it. Turns out he didn’t miss much?
Everybody Must Get Sharon Stoned

Field of Streams- Good Omens
In more “Hugh and Wade watched a thing” we cover the Amazon streaming show based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s book Good Omens.
Did we like it? Who was the junior partner in this book collaboration? How did Neil do adapting this to screen all by himself? Should you watch it, or should you be elitist and just read the book? Is Beck the Neil Gaiman of music?
Yesterday we saw See You Yesterday
Hugh and Wade watch some Netflix.
We went cold turkey into a time travel film the movie blogs were talking up.
We might not be the best equipped to talk about cultural pain, but we can catch a Back to the Future or an Octavia Butler reference when we see it.
We cover the movie, why it was buried so deep on netflix, and why some websites seem to rate it lower than others.

What is “The Wandering Earth”?
We watched the highest grossing movie in the history of China, the second highest non English language film in history, and one of the 20 highest grossing scifi movies of all time. How come no one talks about it? It just came out in February.
Is this the Michael Bay movie of Chinese sensibilities? Is this even propaganda? We may or may not agree with each other. Surprise Surprise

On the Patreon this Week
Even when we’re not yelling loudly about it, there’s stuff going on at the Kicker of Elves patreon. Two short talks we had this week:
The Quiet Ennui of the High School PE Teacher
Where we talked about the games people play and men who yell at teenagers.
And sometime paddle them.
Greatest Edgelords
We talk some about the “controversy” regarding Star Trek and canon, and what that really might be about for some of the angry lads on the internet.
