Bald Move Pulp - IT Chapter Two (2019)

We went to see Chapter Two of Stephen King’s IT, and we were both kind of underwhelmed. We were both fans of the first installment, but unfortunately the great acting and interesting characterizations are undermined by hokey horror sequences and what feels like a lot of recycled material from Chapter One. We think it’s an okay film, not a very effective horror movie, and with the cast and material that’s pretty surprising. We’ll be back in a few weeks to take on Ad Astra (and Cecily and I will be sneaking in a review of the Downton Abbey movie), see you then!

Bald Move Pulp - The Righteous Gemstones, The Boys, and Cord-cutting (with Jared Newman)

Jim, A.Ron, and Cecily all talk about HBO’s newest comedy series, The Righteous Gemstones, created by and starring Danny McBride (00:00:00). Then we discuss cord-cutting with tech journalist Jared Newman who runs Cord-Cutter Confidential (00:19:00). Finally, we wrap up with a discussion of the first four episodes of Amazon’s The Boys (00:40:39)! Leave Us A Review…

Bald Move Pulp - Harlots – 307

Harlots continues it’s back-half swoon as things continue to not make much sense, and we’re left with too few characters we genuinely care about. Sure, Lady Fitz’s impulsive kiss of Nancy was exciting, but there are two many things happening because of happenstance, chance encounters, and nothing really feels like it has consequences. There is one…

Bald Move Pulp - Harlots – 306

Margaret Wells leaves miles of burning human wreckage in her wake as she leaves the British Isles once more. We’re hoping Lucy can right her personal ship with the advice and support of Pa North, but as eleventy million people have remarked this season, her neck seems destined for the noose, and the situation with her investment in the molly house isn’t getting any less complex or fraught with peril. Things are looking so grim, Cecily and I are starting to wonder, are they wrapping up Harlots?!

Bald Move Pulp - Harlots – 305

A.Ron and Cecily converse about another crazy episode of Hulu’s Harlots. Isaac gets pinched, Kate gets her second chance to make a first impression, Quigley is still getting the hang on this whole “loving people” deal, and Margaret does what Margaret does best; try to get herself and her loved ones killed in complicated revenge schemes!

Bald Move Pulp - Trailer Talk! The Boys! Los Espookys!
