What's On Tonight (Friday): They Will Walk 500 Miles and They Will Walk 500 More (in Perpetuity)

  

The Long Walk

Today's Top Pick is the streaming HBO Max premiere of the The Long Walk based on the novel by Stephen King Richard Bachman.  The story is set in an alternate reality dystopian 70's and follows a group of teens taking part in a nationally televised walking contest.  They must keep walking at a minimum of 3 mph or be executed.  The last one standing will get a bunch of money and a single wish.  Reviews were good, but you probably already know if this is something you want to watch/endure.

🎥 The Long Walk (HBO Max, 3:01 AM)  'A group of teenage boys compete in an annual contest known as "The Long Walk," in which they must maintain a certain walking speed or get shot.'✔️

There's more than one story today. There's the Turtle death watch which is rivaling the Shitgibbon death watch for ratings.

Platner, however, lost his ratings, his voter lists and most importantly his fundraising. McConnell and Trump may or may not be dead but they are still raking in fool's gold

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Style and Substance

A  Woman of Substance

There is no try! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 8!

Our Top Pick tonight is A Woman of Substance (BritBox, 3 a.m.). Based on the popular book, this British import stars Jessica Reynolds and Brenda Blethyn as Emma Harte, who rises from a penniless maid to powerful business mogul 60 years later. The key events revolve around her being betrayed by her aristocratic lover, and her vow of revenge on the family shapes her rise in business. Then the elder Emma must deal with a betrayal within her own family. This sounds like my cup of tea.

Elsewhere, Trying is back for season 5, a body hit the Oval floor, chefs react to Kitchen Chaos, fact checkers bring Maximum Pleasure, the X-Men and En Sabah Nur facture, and CrunchyRoll rolls out lots of new anime.

I had a lot to say last night. If you missed it I recommend that you look back. It's not often that I let myself go on a tear and I tend to be careful when I do. I was in a cautious celebratory mood yesterday which seems appropriate for this time in our history. It's time to own up to our faults and learn how to fix them.

Tomorrow? That's another story completely. It's my mom's birthday and a big round one. My dad's death may have been complicated but my mom has always been a blessing. Maybe Alien Jesus might have had a better Alien mom than mine but I'm gonna need some proof.
