Weekly Recommendation - Week #035 - Jesus and The Disciples: Reunion Tour

So before I started writing this, I thought this was going to be a walk in a park, but then I realised: "What the shit kind of theme is Easter Sunday?" Well I am a committed person, so I'm going to somehow find three things that are connected to Easter. In fact, the reasoning is going to be super loose and dumb, so I hope you enjoy it. Also, I'm curious how much you can stretch the theme. Do leave comments with your super stretches, and who knows? Maybe I will check them out. I will try I promise.

The Blacklist - NBC (Series)

So to kick off this nonsense fest, we open with a really good (and ongoing) series that has literally nothing to do with Easter. Apart from one thing. One of the main characters has a stuffed rabbit. Yeah that will do. Now if I were to actually recommend this, I'd tell you that this is a TV drama about the FBI's most wanted criminal, Raymond "Red" Reddington (played perfectly by Ultron, I mean James Spader) who turns himself in to help the FBI capture the most dangerous criminals that they have never heard off. However, he will only talk to new FBI member Elizabeth Keen (the one with the bunny). Each episode features a new eccentric and excellent villain that they have to stop, as well as a really good constantly running plot throughout all the criminal catching antics. If you love crazy criminals, dark stories and James Spader being amazing at everything he does, you will love this. Also they often feature really good songs, which is always fun to find out what they are going to use next (they use 99 Problems by Hugo in the first episode, which is what hooked me, along with Spader-Jesus). This is one of my favourite TV series' out there right now. (I suppose I could have recommended Donnie Darko for this, but I haven't watched it so shut up.)

Walking Away - The Egg (Music)

Not going to lie, I Google searched both "Easter Music" and, well, "egg music." I really am shit at this. Anyway, I discovered a band called The Egg (because EASTER EGGS YOU DIRT MUNCHER), and a single of theirs called Walking Away. If you listen to it, you may notice it's extremely similar to the David Guetta song entitled to the same thing (it's a remix that seems to only change the words, which is really fucking dumb.) It was also in a car advert in which the car transformed into a robot and ice skated or something. I don't know why I remember that. Anyway, this song is quite dance-to-able, and really bloody catchy, which are too things that can either make for a great song, or a really annoying one. Thankfully, this one falls under great for me, but you can decide what it is too you for yourself. I don't have to hold your hand through this. Unless you are really struggling to decide. In that case, come talk to me, we can listen to it one million times over and decide then.

Easter Egg Hunt - Martin Luther, according to Wiki (Game)

WHO SAID GAME HAD TO MEAN VIDEO GAME YOU BIG SILLY? SO THIS IS A GAME IN WHICH SOMEONE HIDES EGGS SOMEWHERE AND KIDS HAVE TO GO FIND THEM. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD OF IT SO THERE YOU GO. ALSO APPARENTLY MARTIN LUTHER (NOT THE KING) INVENTED IT FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN, SO THERE IS ANOTHER THING THE PATRIARCHY HAS DONE TO CORRUPT THE INNOCENT SO GOOD GOING MALES! I'M REALLY ASHAMED OF YOU MEN SERIOUSLY.

I don't know what that last thing was. Well I do, it was me trying to be funny. If you found it funny, let me know. If you didn't, keep it to yourself. I jest of course, do let me know. So yeah, another special Sunday gone. Maybe next week will be a boring old Sunday so I have to come up with a theme on my own. I hope not. I've rather enjoyed being lazy. See you then, then!
