Just passed the moon landing episode of The Crown. I loved it, my wife said it was boring as sin. Weird.

it was brilliant, though I identified more with his feelings of shortcomings than the rest of the episode. When he was talking to the astronauts I totally got his "oh" of "they have no idea what I'm talking about do they". I see it a lot in my son lately when I think we're talking about something but then it turns out that no I'm the one talking he's just putting up with me.

Still watching His Dark Materials, decent but has frustrating issues and Lin-Manuel Miranda was the worst casting choice of the year.

Apparently they're trying to organize some sort of reunion run? And I was gonna say "what happened to Lizzie Caplan," because she's like a talented Zooey Deschanel, but apparently she's in the Castle Rock show this season?
Um... nothing happened to her. She's been consistently working and always amazing. Her career has been totally steady and diverse.

What else? I’ve literally never heard of her until party down.
Check out her time on True Blood. Preferably without your spouse around, unless she’s into that.

Since Party Down?

Hot Tub Time Machine
127 Hours
Masters of Sex
New Girl
I'm Sorry
Disaster Artist
Castle Rock

And that's just off the top of my head. And doesn't include stuff like Mean Girls or Cloverfield or True Blood and stuff pre-PD. Or movies like Bachelorette that I adore but no one else saw.

It is kinda weird that she isn't a bigger star.
