Wife and I started watching the 2nd Shiny Happy People doc last night. It's about "Teen Mania", which I should have heard of but never did. Not sure why. It was centered in east TX in the late 90s and targeted teenagers as an evangelical movement. I grew up in small town east TX but YoungLife was the big youth brainwasher there. Maybe they were competitors and YL kept TM out of my town. 


Anywho while watching the first episode, there's this montage clip of all these teenagers yelling into the camera what foreign country they're gonna go visit for a mission trip. One redhead girl goes "I'm going to Ukraine!" and my wife pauses the show in disbelief. 

 

It was her former coworker and my son's Pre-K teacher. She texted her and confirmed it. That lady is a total hippie chick now so it makes it even more hilarious. 

Started this, too.  Like you, growing up Southern Baptist, I should have heard of these people but never did.  I suspect the post date me.  They look like they're in the 90's and I peaced out before then.  

We laughed at how every single one of the former people they interview are now gay.  (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I watched a couple of episodes of Hunting Wives last night and it’s one of the biggest pos I’ve seen in a while. Full of  Texas caricatures and cliches . The only redeeming factor is  Malin Ackerman plays a milf in heat and that’s not even that great. She’s definitely lost her fastball. 

First I’d ever seen of her and she’s a smokin hot milf for my standards. Which are admittedly low. But got damn she’s a whore in that show. And some nice girl on girl action. Basically a modern day Cinemax porn.

i saw something today where a family member of the girl who went missing from the cruise ship said he believes that she was taken by scientologists who got her onto another ship and never let her go.

We finished it up and it was the raciest thing I've ever seen on Netflix by a wide margin.  I wonder what the pitch was.  "It's like Ransom Canyon but on Skinemax."

The Outsider with Jared LEto (i had no idea this existed) is a pretty good, dark ,violent, little thriller. 

Just had a rewatch this morning. 
 

I still like it too. 

reminded me of shogun, last samurai , Tokyo Vice. 
 

the sister is sexy. 
 

I wish they had a part 2 or a book to read to get more insight

I really liked Dept Q but Matthew Goode was basically playing Dr. House the police detective.  

OK, yes.  Which is why it was good.  

House and 13 are not walking through that door.

ps. i had no idea that was ozymandias until i looked him up on imdb

pps: THE OFFER is also excellent, paramount+

The only "evidence" is some unreliable eyewitness accounts of sightings happening months to years after her disappearance and some questionable analysis of online photos.  I found none of it credible or interesting at all.
At 5:30 am she was seen on the balcony of her family's room.  Nothing happened to wake up a room full of sleeping people between 5:30 - 6 am, at which point she was noticed missing.
So the kidnap theory is that she left the room of her own accord barefoot in a t-shirt and jeans sometime between 5:30- 6 am, and her kidnappers saw that she had left her room, were able to snag her from a public area of the ship without notice, and then smuggle her unnoticed off of the ship in Curacao.  Oh, and the ringleader of this kidnapping effort was the bass player of the ship's band... and the entire ship's crew was in on identifying and assisting with the abduction of young women for Caribbean sex-trafficking.

You are not accurately describing the “kidnap theory”. There was discussion that she may have left the ship willingly (to parry or score drugs) and then been trafficked.

I do agree that an old school snatching her off the ship against her will scenario seems highly implausible.

The lead actress was incredible in this role.
