      Man I keep forgetting it’s those guys. Yes, The Endless and Resolution are amazing sci-fi. Another in a similar vein, albeit different creators, is Coherence. Best to go in blind on that one too.

          Yes! I love movies like that. When it makes you think “How are the logistics behind this film’s production even possible?”

              I can’t think of anything else that intricate that was shot without a script or that the narrative was an entirely pre/post-production construction. But I am not the arbiter of film knowledge either.

              Oh, not to that level. But thinking of stuff where I don’t even know how they write something so complicated and keep it straight. ‘Primer’, the TV show ‘Dark’, many of Nolan’s films to a lesser extent. But then even stuff like Doctor Strange, the crazy CGI they do is just mind blowing to me. Everything Everywhere comes to mind. I’m having trouble thinking of more, but I know there’s been some lately that I had that feeling. Can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.

                  Thanks, will check this out.

                  Oh Under The Skin is one of my favorites. It’s a masterclass in uneasiness. I love so-called arthouse films. So much of what A24 is doing lately has been right up my alley. Everything Everywhere rose to my favorite of all time but I loved The Green Knight, Lamb, Men, all of Ari Asters movies. I’m really disappointed in the announcement they are moving to more mainstream, blockbuster toe fare.

    I JUST REALLY LOVE THE RETRO 70’S DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES/NUCLEAR REACTOR/ATARI FUTURE AESTHETIC THEY HAVE FOR THIS SHOW.

      I can only agree. I fell behind on when it started so I was able to binge the first 4 episodes. I found myself really paying attention to the episodes and not scrolling on my phone or laptop at the same time like I typically do. I was even eager for the next episodes.

      It’s been awhile since I felt that way. Maybe Mr Robot being the last time.

    At this point they could kill off the whole MCU and only keep Loki, I wouldn’t be even slightly sad.

    How many possible sources of parallel universe do we have again?

    • Variants
    • Time travel
    • Magic
    • Quantum mechanics

    I think it’s time to prune a little.

      It’s almost like when the writers are allowed to have an actual ending we get a good show or movie.

    I would have been more inclined to watch this if season one had been self-contained and there had been more time between s1 & s2.
