Found it!

I'm watching a series called "Your Honor" with Bryan Cranston.

In this scene, his MIL is talking about her cereus plant that only blooms once a year. I have a cereus that I got the start from a neighbor a couple years ago. It bloomed one blossom last year, but has been really growing this year. I had really never heard of this plant until the neighbor was giving starts away.

@Magus @d_marsh i haven’t watched strange new worlds yet.
I watch now what I didn’t used to watch but I’m a baby so I mostly don’t watch r rated stuff. I was told the f word if used more than x amount of times will get the R.
Not satisfied with most of the newer stuff and also find myself watching older movies and series, some I’ve never seen.
War, science fiction, dystopian, espionage, cops and crime, and stuff like Pride & Prejudice. Masterpiece theater.
No F-bombs, no transgenders, no retard politics. Its got the same vibe as the original. I hope there is a season three, it ended with one hell of a cliffhanger!

I'll be into Sweet Tooth next. They ripped my damn concept off, I might as well watch it.
My book was better, I didn't sugar coat anything, F-bombs, bed-hopping, bloody stuff and all.
 
@Magus Outer Range has f bombs, lots of them. That might be why I stopped watching it. It’s just not necessary to talk like that. Sweet Tooth was pretty weird.
I drop "F" bombs like a B-19 under certain circumstances, In fact, I have had Drill Sargents tell me to reel it back. Fortunately, I only cuss when I'm mad or hurt, which is most of the time.

Sweet tooth didn't explain it right. There was a minor nuclear war and the "Human perfection serum" was piggybacked on a harmless virus and they bombed the world with it to get rid of the mutations and radiation-produced diseases and it was great! Since we lost a huge hunk of the population we had room for all the healthy babies, and the aging process halted, disease was a legend, but then the resources started running out and there was another little exchange in the Middle East, well that dose of rads mutated the harmless virus and it jumped species. (the name of the book.) After that, any apex predator began to give birth to HUMAN offspring, But the catch was, the animal traits became racial traits and within a hundred years, humanity as we know it was gone. It was one of my better stories really, all about racism, how lousy we treat each other, what it means to be human, and finally, YOU DO NOT "F" WITH MOTHER NATURE! Kind of Mad Max meets Gunsmoke written by a furry. LOL

Watched Soylent Green again for the first time in ten years.

Every time I watch it, the world it portrays seems more like the one we live in now.

It seems that is where we are headed.

A bit of trivia about Soylent Green is that Edward G Robinson played Sol Roth (Charlton Hestons "Book") and filmed his death (in a euthanasia clinic) as the last shoot for the film.

Two months later, he died for real.

Charlton Heston later said:

He knew while we were shooting, though we did not, that he was terminally ill. He never missed an hour of work, nor was late to a call. He never was less than the consummate professional he had been all his life. I'm still haunted, though, by the knowledge that the very last scene he played in the picture, which he knew was the last day's acting he would ever do, was his death scene. I know why I was so overwhelmingly moved playing it with him

The opening scene is probably the best of any apocalypse movie ever made - it captures the concept of rise....then prosperity and then decline.

It conveys perfectly how hard work, growth and prosperity sow the seeds for decadence, decline and destruction.

The still images and music are haunting.
