I've been watching Jason Segal's show "Shrinking". It's an interesting
comedy about therapists and the personal issues they encounter while
trying to help other people resolve theirs. It's starting to grow on me.

I liked him in "Dispatches from Elsewhere", which I'm re-watching. It's
a show about 4 people who get involved in a reality-bending game that
opens their eyes to the possibilities in front of them.

The game starts with a wheat-pasted poster advertising an experiment to
talk to dolphins with a telephone number to call.

While set in Philadelphia, the game they describe got its roots in San Francisco in the early 2010s. I remember seeing similar posters on
utility poles, I was an avid street photographer back when I worked in
SF. Good times.

There's a movie called "The Institute" that documents the game
experience in San Francisco -

A great quote - "As I pulled the threads of the game, the lines were
being blurred between the insanity I saw of as the game, and the
insanity of the real world..."

Hello pF!

I liked him in "Dispatches from Elsewhere", which I'm re-
watching. It's a show about 4 people who get involved in a
reality-bending game that opens their eyes to the
possibilities in front of them.

I liked the puzzle / problem-solving aspect of their journey.
It kinda lost that magic energy after the "guru meeting".

Yep.. saw that too.

Massive fan of Jason Segel, love Dispatches and Shrinking is brilliant.

Good find, I especially love D-Man and Harrison Ford is outstanding.

Take care, Dundarach Hull, U.K.
