The Continental: From the World of John Wick | Official Trailer | Peacock Original (Sept 22nd) -- (link*) - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 08:51 [youtube] 24
- this looks...very...unPeacock like. I might sign up for this. - Pippy Quintas Aug 9, 09:12 1
  - Right? First time I have even considered it. Amy wants the Columbo thing but that was not enough to get us to bite. - Spawn Aug 9, 09:16
- "...as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City." -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 9, 09:09 2
  - ~~assassins come out to play-ee-ay~ -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 09:11 1

- This is nerdy, and specific, but I need them to explore the currency part, more…not sure I fully understand it. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 9, 08:58 6
  - Do a job and get gold coins. Use gold coins to pay for things in that world of assassins. - sycor Aug 9, 09:06 5
    - still weird though. 1 coin per body doing a cleanup...and 1 coin to bring a dog to a hotel...covers a lot of territory... - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 09:10 4
      - Yeah that's fair. Though I assume clean up is by the job, not the body. - sycor Aug 9, 09:12 3
        
        wick in #1 gives a coin a body -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 09:14 1
        
        BUT to be fair, he might not give a fuck about coins so just gives them away like apples or something... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 09:14

    - Harry Styles for 2022? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 9, 08:54 1
      - As It Was 15 weeks -- nm - MDH Aug 9, 08:55
  - Mariah's going to be something stupid like that "All I Want For Xmas is You" a month at a time adds up. - Will Hunting Aug 9, 08:53 1

  - Correct with minor tweaks: Old Town Road the highest w/ 19 weeks, Despacito/One Sweet Day 16 weeks, Macarena/I'll Make Love to You 14 weeks, Wallen 15 -- nm - MDH Aug 9, 08:45 2
    - Apparently Billboard can't figure out what's what. -- nm* - Will Hunting Aug 9, 08:46 1
      - "It topped the Hot 100 for 16 consecutive weeks, tying with "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men as the..." -- nm - MDH Aug 9, 08:47
