The RNC: One Day Over, Three To Go
1. 11.22 63, streaming on Hulu
Stephen King purists may fault it for not including every subplot from the novel, but damn if I didn't start watching this time travel series about a diner, a portal and a schoolteacher trying to change history (and history not cooperating) one evening and three episodes later I noticed it was getting light outside. Also the letter-perfect recreation of the 1960s is something to see.2. The Expanse, streaming on Amazon Prime.
I had to be tricked/guilted into watching this show (Such a "meh" title!) about the intrigues of Solar System politics and culture hundreds of years from now. I even relented and watched the first episode and bailed so I could check the box in my head marked "Tried it/Didn't like it", because really, how could there be much new to say on a subject that had already been well-trodden by Golden Aged science fiction authors 60 years ago, right?
Wrong. Great series.3. Repo Man, streaming on Amazon Prime and Hulu
People say that all practical wisdom about how the world works can be found in Godfather I, Godfather II and Casablanca. They are incorrect. All practical wisdom about how the world works can be found in Godfather I, Godfather II, Casablanca and Repo Man.

Good advice-RepoMan is one of my all time faves and it's been years since I've seen it. Of course I never intended for a second to actually watch the fascist mob extravaganza.
On the topic of wisdom, I just this morning received,by USPS, a copy of the book Driftglass. I've wondered about the origins of your moniker for years and finally made the effort to find a used copy online . Looking forward to another escape from the news o'the day.
Repo Man. Classic.
I'm going to have to check out the other two.
You definitely overlooked , "They Live"
Not sure of a movie analogy that implies the reason why so many southerners joined and fought for the confederacy in the Civil War when they as poor (forever) whites only had the one thing to hold on to for hope and pride. Which was, "at least I am not as bad off as those slaves".
But if you have a good analogy movie that puts it on display. please delight me?
One of my go to movie lines has forever been, "the life of a Repo Man is always intense!"
