Nov 20, 2020 (Updated Nov 20, 2020)

I watched this entire season on Halloween. I've delayed my review because I can't really figure out if I just thought it was a seven or eight.
I'm a huge fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, both together and apart.
First, main groaner was that Simon Pegg wasn't in it enough.
I liked the overall storyline, but, the whole time I was hoping it didn't turn out that the wife's disappearance ended up like Butcher's situation in the Boys.
The two little twists were ok, but telegraphed. The vfxs were cool, in terms of how the ghosts appeared.
There were not many laugh-out-loud moments, which I wasn't expecting. I really hope there's a season 2!

Yannis Philippakis recommended Prison Songs (Historical Recordings From Parchman Farm 1947-48) by Alan Lomax in Music (curated)

"Alan Lomax was a folklorist and ethnomusicologist who was making archival recordings and field recordings in the 40s, and this album consists mainly of prison chain gang songs. The first time I heard it, it stopped me in my tracks - it was incredibly moving to hear because it's just the sound of male voices and pickaxes and nothing else... it sounds haunted but hopeful. Like listening to ghosts, the quality of the singing and the recording [is such] that you can never have again - a document of its time. It's spiritual: the pain is in their singing, which would have been their only mode of expression. It's singular and not something I'd put on everyday, being a heavy listen."
