I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I want to give Wolfhound a watch, russian movie from 2007 that seems like a blend of Conan and LOTR.

Besides that, when it comes to new stuff I'm excited for Andor and not much else tbh.

I watched Cyberpunk:Edgerunners for the first time.

I've watched some but not much anime (Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion) and thought this was really good and up there with those. Similar in style and tone, even.

Well worth watching if you played and enjoyed the game. It's 100% the same setting as the game, just ~1 year prior.

I just started Takeshi's Castle 2023 on Amazon Prime. I'm into Ep2.

For those unfamiliar, from roughly 1986 to 1990 Takeshi's Castle aired in Japan. It was a game show featuring obstacle courses. Contestants attempted to thwart the obstacles to reach the castle and take on Takeshi. Failing a challenge meant elimination for the participant, and most challenges were very difficult. It spawned modern shows like Wipeout (which was sued for copyright infringement by the Japanese company that owns Takeshi's Castle, and was settled with undisclosed terms), and the more popular Ninja Warrior.

From 2003 to 2007, Spike TV re-purposed Takeshi's Castle footage, used none of the original audio, and re-branded it as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (also known as MXC). (There's even a Twitch channel that only shows MXC all the time!)

In 2023 the show was revived and is available on Amazon Prime. Contestants again face difficult obstacles in their concerted effort to reach Takeshi's Castle. Cast members from the original return in various capacities, including contestants who competed together 34 years ago returning to compete together again. A Captain cheers for and urges on the army of contestants, while Count Takeshi's court watches the action and talks a lot of shit.

It's just fun and silly and harmless fun, with some good crash landings and fails along the way. I grew up on game shows in the 80's and 90's, with an appreciation for some of the older ones as well. This fits that vibe so well. It's uniquely Japanese at times which is to be expected since that's where it is made.

Here's a compilation video from MXC.



And this is the image from the Amazon Prime 2023 version.

Landman on Prime with Billy Bob is pretty solid. Enjoying the pace and take of things with actors all doing solid work. Great production quality too.

I am down the MXC rabbit hole. I'm currently watching the Twitch channel that runs MXC constantly.

I am addicted and I have questions! lol

Is the original version dubbed or subtitled somewhere? I'd love to watch it and hear the humor and commentary.

I'm impressed by how clever MXC was with their dubs and antics. I think I read that it was a side project for the people who worked on it, so they did what they could with spare time and resources, and limited access to footage. It gets raunchy and even a little dark sometimes lol. It felt like they were writing like that because no one was watching, although I don't think that was the case? I can't really find any data on that.

I wonder what Tokyo Broadcasting System thought of MXC!
