What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

It's the same for a lot of old media, of any type. Try listening to a love song by The Monkees, these days, and you'll wonder why the girl didn't get a protective order.

Heh. That's the joke we made about Every Breath You Take....right after it came out!

But you're right. I noticed this the other day when Separate Ways by Journey played on the radio. So many songs from the 80s about "When your crappy boyfriend dumps you, I'll be here waiting the entire time to be your white knight! Just love me, pleeeaaasssseeee!"

Dude. Move on. It's not healthy

What did you think of Cloak and Dagger? I haven't made time for it yet but heard interesting things.

Like Max I'd also say it was pretty good actually, which is not something I say easily for a Marvel show! He's quite right that it starts slow, but both of the leads are excellent in the roles, and there's something weirdly compelling about the whole thing - particularly it helps that it's not a save-the-world or even really save-the-city kind of deal, it's real street-level stuff.

That one's on purpose. This was seen as "normal."

It's truly amazing the amount of people who don't know the original that they sampled.

I remember Sting having to admonish the audience that "Every Breath You Take" is NOT a love song, but is a creepy stalker song.

In the same way that there was no actual schoolgirl from "Don't Stand So Close to Me."

Musical artist finds traction in writing songs about people behaving badly. Go figure.
