I've been avoiding this thread since I decided to also go back and rewatch the whole series with my wife (who gave up after one season back in the day).

Season 3, with the boring-ass theater troupe subplot, definitely dipped a bit in quality, but I still love the show so much. Glad to see they just completely dumped that plotline from the movie.

*****MOVIE SPOILERS*****
I was glad to see Hearst get some amount of comeuppance, although it's hard to tell if he will ever face any real consequences.

Al's plot was very sad, and I hoped for something more for him. He seemed to be prepping for some kind of murder/suicide plan for Hearst, but then just ends up fading away.

The moment between Bullock and Samuel was really poignant. I love to think of Charlie singing in his last moments on the earth.

In the end, the movie was fine, while a little clunky (did we need flashback scenes?). I would have vastly preferred another season or two, though.

it's true that this is an indignity to end up with on your record

Criticism
Joe Rogan and various other media outlets have attempted to bring attention to Hearst's involvement in the prohibition of cannabis in America.

Well I guess he died a couple years later :P

Isn’t that his son?

William Randolph is George's son, yeah.

I hastily searched Hearst and grabbed the wrong wiki, embarrassing!

Finally saw the movie, it was OK, kind of like an extended final episode of the show, albeit with not enough story to tell and too many people on hand through which to tell it. But I liked it fine.

Satisying enough.

did we need flashback scenes?

As a middle-ager who watched the series ONCE, I would say yes as I pretty much forgot the entire Trixie-Jen-Hearst plotline.

Did they scale down Calamity Jane's makeup? Robin Weigert looked younger to me than she did during the series.

My mind flashed back to my days of misery spent as the demon, Menlo, on the tv series, ANGEL. I had eagerly jumped at the chance...

While everybody is talking about Timothy Olyphant let it be known that he once asked me if I could play my best sad song ‘Olyphant’ for him

— Jason Isbell (@JasonIsbell) October 31, 2020

Tim said, “that sad song you wrote about me...”

Jason looked perplexed.

“...you know — ‘Olyphant’”
