Open question to the forum: do YouTube channels fall in the scope of this thread, or do they deserve their own thread? (sorry if answer is obvious) I see six active threads about individual YouTube channels, but not a general one dedicated to all of YouTube, so maybe a new thread is needed...
Reason: I've been using the treadmill 30-60 minutes a day lately and to keep my interest I watch YouTube videos while doing so. I feel like I've now exhausted all of my favorite YouTube channels and suggestions could be helpful. Topics of interest include music (duh), travel and transportation, engineering, and birds. Thank you!!

Monsieur Spade. First episode is out, and twenty minutes in, it's pretty damn good.

I was actually looking for a general prosperous youtube thread and/or a thread about everyone's favorite channels, there's definitely tons of fantastic content there but it's not that easy to filter the crap out. So definitely needed I'd say.

565I starting watching Beef around the time it came out and finished it a few weeks later. It’s not perfect, but I walked away from it thinking that it was more instrumental than most shows/movies in telling us things about ourselves, in a way that was—in a refreshing turn—less trollish than collectively self-implicating.
Don’t watch many shows, but feel like Better Call Saul should’ve gotten some love the other night too. Not that awards shows/ceremonies/accolades should be taken that seriously; in the world of music, they’re almost meaningless!!

567Just finished it a few days ago. I grew to appreciate it for the most part, but kind of hated the ending. Felt like tacked on magical realism, though the shots of Fielder walking on the ceiling were technically impressive.Nico Adie wrote: Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:17 pmReally, really enjoying The Curse.

568I've started on it and on ep. 3 so far...really enjoying it so far. Obviously a continuation of both Fielder and the Salfdies' aesthetic, but what I really like is the horror/psychological thriller angle (especially the music). There is also an obvious Todd Solondz influence going on too I think. Cara the indigenous art grifter might be my favourite character so far.penningtron wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:25 amJust finished it a few days ago.

569Has anyone watched the Paramount Plus Sexy Beast prequel series? It's one of my favorite films, and I'm not going to bother if the show is a dumpster fire.

570I've been watching Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake on Max. This is quirky animation aimed at teens and adults. If you liked Adventure Time you'll love this. If you didn't exactly love AT you might still really like this. It plays up the absurd, dark and occasionally existential elements of AT while still being zany fantasy.
It's interesting to me how a series like this and the animated Spiderman movies (Spiderverse) make the whole multiverse thing a playground for excitement and plot possibilities while the Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned the multiverse into some kind of limiting chore that makes their story telling feel oddly constrained and almost parenthetical.
