Lobstamonkee LockDown WatchList

Dreadfully Distinct Against the Dark

opening clip - I attack the Darkness

I understand there to be more people curious about the Lobstamonkee thing than understand the Lobstamonkee thing, and as it seems to take me long fits between productive starts, that curiosity remains unsated.

For those of you still watch antique programming, there are several titles that can give you insight into the whole Lobstamonkee thing. I thought I’d assemble a list of them for those looking for recommendations.

#1 - Deadwood (HBO)

This is one of the best shows ever. A masterpiece. https://t.co/E0FjWUEpnS

“Cocksucker!” DEADWOOD (2004-06) The mighty IAN MCSHANE as ‘Al Swearengen’ and the brilliant Keone Young in David Milch’s genius HBO drama. https://t.co/BPmGoDaetj

When my attention-snitch went to Twitter, this was there to remind me to write this list. I had been about to launch the Deadwood Intensive (examining archetypal relationship via watchparty + analysis) when the laptop died and that will be restored to front burner at some point.

#2 - Network

You have meddled with the primal forces of Nature, Mr. Beal!!

I go looking for an image or something to add to this entry in the list, only to discover that tomorrow is the anniversary of it’s release.

#3 - Newsroom

Even if you never knew the name of the series, you might have seen this clip:

#4 - Succession

On one hand, it’s mainly the story of why all the local News stations say the same thing set to commercials for really really expensive stuff, but it’s also good enough for spawn the Twitter account featured above.

#5 - White Christmas (Black Mirror)

Time is on John Hamm’s Side

This recommendation probably should have been higher in the list, just in case you get the new Oculus Meta Quest Pro for Christmas.

#6 - Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

He said “You’re not that great!”

If you’re going to watch a ‘how it happened’ documentary about the downfall of your society, might as well make it a funny one.

#7 - Demolition Man

They aren’t used to physical contact greetings

Pretty sure Sandra Bullock is the Harbinger of our particular Apocalypse, consult the filmography.

#8 - 12 Monkeys

By then you’ll be ready for the one that ties it all together.
