This episode of The Deuce has re-surfaced a lot of difficult feelings for Jim and A.Ron. Paul meets Tod's parents and it has us thinking about our own parents, beliefs, and mortality. Jim made an accurate prediction about Frankie's home movie, but it's still a touching family moment. Eileen also confronts her idea of family and support. Lori is on her own while Greg does "his own thing". There is plenty of damage to be had all around.

Jim and I went to see the Joker tonight, and it was intense, challenging, but also beautiful and engrossing look at mental illness and the sicknesses at the heart of our society. Director Todd Phillips gives us a plausible, believable, and terrifying Joker to inhabit a world that is set in a hazy late 70s period but the political landscape is very 21st century. We can see multiple ways this movie could be considered "dangerous", but we feel the most dangerous thing about it could be people ignoring the many cautionary tales it packs into it's run-time.

We'll be back in two weeks to discuss what we imagine to be a bit lighter fare; Zombieland: Double Tap!

We are halfway through the final season of The Deuce, and there is a lot to discuss. A.Ron has two prophecies come true in one episode! Lori is back in New York, and battling her insecurities. Abby recruits Candi to speak with Women Against Pornography; and it's a tough crowd. Jim and A.Ron don't have the final answers, but they're brainstorming. Finally, Frankie has an emotional scene with Vincent and Dr. Mike that has us wondering what an "infield-fly rule" is.

Jim and A.Ron discuss the latest episode of The Deuce, ‘Normal is a Lie’. The women of The Deuce are fighting for rights to their own money and choices about their own body. The men of The Deuce, (or Deucey’s as A.Ron calls them) are are either pushing boundaries and taking advantage, or too stupid to know any better. We assume that everyone, including anyone who looks completely healthy, is dying of AIDS. They also consider if the police really have the neighborhood’s best interests in mind.

The Deuce is under a lot of pressure in "Morta di Fame", as disease, drugs, greedy gangsters and corrupt politicians all angle to take a bite out of its inhabitants. It's hard to see how established players like Rudy, Vincent, and Paul are going to make it out okay, but there is a glimmer of hope that Frankie just might be able to survive by being to small time to worry about. Meanwhile on the West coast Lori is waking up to the fact that she's traded a pimp named Cici for one named Kiki. Grim proceedings all around, lightened only by Bobby's hair piece and Frankie's fledgling paper bag porn empire. Plus, we get educated on all things Greenwich in the feedback section!

HBO's The Deuce is back! We rejoin our mixed crew of hustlers on the Eve of 1985. The strip itself seems a bit less bright, and a good deal more dangerous, even as powerful big-money interests have high-class aspirations for the neighborhood. This premiere is a marvel of efficient storytelling and character re-introductions, introducing various threats to the community; wolfpacks, AIDS, home video recording, that will be impacting the lives and livelihoods of The Deuce denizens for the rest of the series.

We went to see Chapter Two of Stephen King’s IT, and we were both kind of underwhelmed. We were both fans of the first installment, but unfortunately the great acting and interesting characterizations are undermined by hokey horror sequences and what feels like a lot of recycled material from Chapter One. We think it’s an okay film, not a very effective horror movie, and with the cast and material that’s pretty surprising. We’ll be back in a few weeks to take on Ad Astra (and Cecily and I will be sneaking in a review of the Downton Abbey movie), see you then!
