"(spoken) Oh, you won't disturb me. I'll be in my room masturbating."
"(thought) They won't disturb me. I'll be masturbating."
My Top Pick is Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure, premiering on Peacock. For those who don’t remember, Joe starred in a classic SNL sketch, as “Sincere Guy Stu”. You always knew where you stood with him.
Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Jan. 6. All times are EST.
STREAMING
Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Premiere. “Featuring stories that most people don’t know: the doubt from his coaches, the controversies with teammates, and the insecurities from within that drove one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the sport.” Two episodes available, followed by one-a-week through Feb. 3.
And Just Like That …, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. “Diwali”. “Carrie’s giant leap for her future self helps her embrace the past, while a confession from Miranda shocks Charlotte. (Gee, I wonder what that could be?) Also, Anthony asks Carrie for a favor.” Directed by Cynthia Nixon.
Close to Me, 3:01 a.m., Sundance Now. “Jo tries to find out more about her adulterous relationship. Meanwhile, her hallucinations worsen. Jo’s father tells a story from her childhood, and she starts to question her theories about the fall, causing more shocking truths to unfold.” Two more episodes remaining. It’s funny; I started listing this show for prestige reasons, but it sounds interesting.
The Game, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. First season finale. “Reshuffling the Deck”. “As the inaugural game for the Las Vegas Fighting’ Fury approaches, Malik negotiates with the Colonel as the players’ representative to avoid a potential strike and Brittany comes clean to Tasha about Club EndZone.”
