Pandora: Beneath the Paradise – Episode 1

  • Title: Pandora: Beneath the Paradise – Episode 1
  • IMDb: link

I’m not exactly what I expected from the first episode of South Korean drama Pandora: Beneath the Paradise about a young woman remembering a forgotten past as an assassin but I certainly didn’t expect it to be such a soap opera. The story teases us with the forgotten memories of Hong Tae-ra (Ji-Ah Lee) which return in short flashes after a pair of emotional episodes, but the main story focuses on the inner working of the family she has married into including political and professional aspirations, who is sleeping with who, a jezebel causing chaos for questionable plot purposes, and a virtual reality breakthrough involving the murder of a monkey.

The Muppets Mayhem – Exile on Main Street

  • Title: The Muppets Mayhem – Track 3: Exile on Main Street
  • wiki: link

As the band begins to record their new album they lose an important member when a misunderstanding sends Animal (Eric Jacobson) off on a search of a new career. The plot offers a running gag that Animal may not be suited for anything else other than the Electric Mayhem’s drummer (a harsh truth for an exasperated Ben Schwartz), that is until he finds an untapped talent as a hibachi chef. The thread also provides some flashbacks of Animal’s introduction to the group and one of the episode’s two performances in “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
