Using puppets as stand-ins during FX shots in Agatha All Along



(Liked the first six episodes a lot, disliked episode eight so much that I might not bother finishing the series.) (The attempted Usual Suspects-stye reveal reminded me of how inferior the handling of alternate identities in Moon Knight was to Mr. Robot)


And speaking of puppets, here's an experiement from the Ghost in the Shell movie:

This is the t-shirt from the scavenger hunt in the first episode of season 4 of "Atlanta"

One of the surreal adventures in the season four premier is a scavenger hunt where this shirt makes an appearance. The episode might have been a clue to real life scavenger hunt, too.

Three interviews with Stefani Robinson about the unbelievable season three finale of "Atlanta"

This interview touches on season three in general. I'd like to see who else was on this list:

You guys have had a lot of really fun, insane cameos this season, but I think [famous actor in the finale] might take the cake. Was that on the page or did you just slot in ”cool celebrity” and then look to see who was available?

First of all, he's amazing. Every time I see the episode, I think he's so funny and weird and did everything right. I'm sure he was on a short list that we had.

Two more interviews.

(This is one of those times where you really should avoid spoilers for everything about that episode to fully enjoy the surreality. A+)

"The real story" about the haunted lake described in the opening of "Atlanta" season three

The details are mostly an urban legend, because the racial injustices had already occurred in the area.

(Great first episode, a nightmarish Odyssey based on real life viral moments.)
