Indeed. It's as though you were Tippi Hedron and your sweet moments of life were spent in a phone booth full of cheap bourbon and tall beers, and the birds were the drudgery of the workweek pecking precariously against the glass.

The Andy Sipowicz character from NYPD Blue is my all time favorite.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.
It's good stuff of course I'm a sucker for short horror stories.

Did a Yellowstone marathon recently and realized Kevin Costner pretty much plays himself, but on TV. Great quote between cowboys on a Montana beef ranch: "sure is gonna sting by the time it reaches the butcher". Commentary on current American economic events but from yet another perspective. Modern cattle wars. Filmed in Utah, not Montana. For fuck's sake.

Re: Any other great television shows?
The guy that played Omar also played Leonard Pine on Hap and Leonard. Great little show on Netflix. Only 3 seasons and 6 or 8 episodes per season. Great weekend binge watch.

Dark Shadows. I love the lowest-budget production, complete with overhead mics in the shots and real shadows of camera equipment used. Catchy theme music also, with the potential of doing irreversible mental damage while watching intoxicated.
