Oops! Totally forgot that we're paying off the victims of Olympic doctor Larry Nassar because of the incompetence of the FBI. Sounds about right, doesn't it?

"The FBI agents were either fired or retired..."

I'm not buying what CBS is selling...

That probably means they all retired with a huge pension and went on to make money off being retired FBI agents.

I have it on dvd but unfortunately, it isn't available on youtube or amazon. You might try one of the following, although they aren't a great screen size.

I've been sailing the harsh waters of the internet for decades, I'll be able to find it :) Thanks for the suggestion!

So far I'm batting 1000% in keeping my kids out of Communist Indoctrination Centers (90% of current universities), although the 2 that are done with schooling probably wouldn't have even hung out with some of those idiots in the videos, so there's that . . . . Got one more to go - trying to steer him towards science or even trades.

Hmmm. . . . TV shows or movie recommendations - Someone already mentioned "Shogun", so here's another vote for that. "Vikings" is another good one for the 1st 3 seasons, even though it's a little older. "Back to the Future" for a nice reset back to the 80's, "A Few Good Men" before Tom Cruazy went nuts. 'The Fugitive" - another 90's classic. The original "Saw" - it's actually more of a high intesity drama, than horror. "Band of Brothers" (don't recommend "The Pacific", it's not anywhere close to being as good). The new Indiana Jones movie is somewhere between the god-awful bad "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and my least favorite of the first 3 - "Temple of Doom", but it sounds like you have enough other binging to do before you try the "Dial of Destiny". Enjoy the show SC !

Dead Poets Society is one of my all-time favorite movies. Definitely worth a re-watch if you've already seen it. Nowadays it hits even harder, given the shit-show that our school system has turned into...

Institutions of higher indoctrination, you mean. What a freaking waste of time and money. Who's gonna pay some fluff brain $100K a year to create anything when A/I can do it?

I’d stream Shogun if you haven’t already. The best thing on TV since Breaking Bad.

I finished this last night and was only disappointed we didn't see the start of the big thing.

Mr. "the Knife" highly recommends "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". He is running out the door and requested I post his movie suggestion for him.

Myself, not so much. I would suggest "Support Your Local Sheriff" with James Garner, Harry Morgan, Joan Hackett, Walter Brennan and a young Bruce Dern.

Our 2 cents, if you like to watch "something funny" when you are laid up.

"A Space Odyssey" is perfect when you're running a fever. Or "The Meaning of Life" - it makes perfect sense, all of a sudden.

Sweet, I love that show. (Although the Homelander/MAGA metaphor is stupid)

Take your psyche out of this "Reality" for a while and watch "The List of Adrian Messenger". One of the best suspense who-done-its ever made with a sterling cast incognito.

This is what happens when there’s free college, or free loans for such. Biden is paying them to foment unrest, just like any good Marxist would.

Start with “A Fish Called Wanda” and then any Ben Stiller or John Cleese movie. You need laughs, screaming ones.
