"So we get Carrie as an MCU kind of thing. That's fine, but I wish they had handled it differently.
The Handmaid's Tale preserved the ending of the novel in Season One, but had a quiet back-door plan for adding another season. The second was even…"
"From JD’s Review of Carrie:
You want know how to destroy the final chapter of a mini-series? Devote most of the last episode to setting up hypothetical future seasons that a lot of people won’t watch, and do so at the expense of the story you’re…"
"My favorite MST3Ks are their takedowns of old educational films. That stuff is comic gold. Exhibit A: "A Date With Your Family" (1950).
I had never seen that one before, but it came up in rotation tonight. It reminds me very much of one of my faves,…"
"We just finished Slow Horses season 6. Why can't every TV show be this good? And they manage a season a year, instead of every two or three years, like all the other prestige TV shows. Sure, they're only six episodes, but that just means they're…"
"I agree on both.
The hydrofoil sequence reminded me of a ride I took many years ago in San Diego. A boat rising up on its foils iis even more fun than it looks."
"Several weeks ago Tracy and I had been watching MST3K shorts on Sling, but then we started watching Invincible instead and fell out of the habit. A few days ago, on the movie thread, JD mentioned MST3K shorts which reminded us we needed to get back…"
"(I always had to squint at the idea that a plastic mask would appear so realistic.)
Perhaps Hand got his masks the same place that the Master in 70's Doctor Who got his masks, which disguised him perfectly until the dramatic reveal in the last…"
This is one I particularly had hoped to see, but due to its brief run---only thirteen episodes---never expected to view in my lifetime. The five or six books on television in my library that do mention 21 Beacon…"
"This time I'm going to talk about two television series that I did not see when they first aired. They were syndicated offerings, and either they didn't play in the market in Ohio where I grew up---or I couldn't commandeer the television set from…"
"According to Steven Lance's Written Out of Television (A TV Lover's Guide to Cast Changes 1945-1994): "'We toyed with the idea of having Endora change Darrin's looks,' says [director] Bill Asher, 'but then we'd have a wall between Endora and…"
"neither of us like Larry Tate
David White played J. Jonah Jameson in the pilot film of the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man TV show. (The part was re-cast for the series.) As a kid, I was like, '"What's Larry Tate doing there"?""

Happy Birthday to the Birthday Dude!
Hope it's a good one.

(How do you earn credits anyway?)
