The Kingdom: Exodus [Riget] (season 3) (MUBI)

Rivalling only David Lynch's Twin Peaks (a clear influence) for its blend
of supernatural horror, dark comedy, and out-and-out strangeness, Lars von
Trier's Danish hospital TV series The Kingdom ran for two seasons in 1994
and 1997. (It was later remade in America by Stephen King, but not
successfully.) But if Lynch could bring Peaks back for another round, why
can't von Trier do the same with The Kingdom? And so we have Exodus, a
third (and said to be final) set of five episodes, all directed by von
Trier and featuring a mix of old and new faces (including, respectively,
Udo Kier and Alexander Skarsgard), with the latter group mostly
replacements for actors who have died since the prior miniseries. This
time, the director gets "meta" as he opens the series with a woman angered
by watching that previous Kingdom season and winds up entering the hellish
hospital herself. Episodes stream weekly, and if you have yet to see the
original two seasons, those hard-to-find episodes began streaming on MUBI
on November 13 (for season 1) and November 20 (for the second season).
Episodes released weekly through Dec. 25.

I looked it up so you don’t have to. Yes, Spencer is Kelsey’s daughter,
she’s cute, blonde, divorced, got a kid, and about to turn 40.

OMG

Think of the endless hours they spent in the writing room coming up with
that clever nickname for their crippled reindeer. Do you think they even
know that the antlers fall off and re-grow annually? Is there some
condition where it always regrows withered? I’m pretty sure they meant
“unwittingly“ and not “unknowingly“ although I’d prefer the latter that
these people never know there was a happy ending.

Howard Stern still has a radio show?

Anyhow, I despise Bruce Springstein because 1) his all-American image is just
an act and 2) as much as I despise Chris Krispy Kreme, I thought it was real
shitty of Springstein to mock him about when they met and Chris was awestruck
at meeting his fav singer.
