January Winners: The Revenant, Ride Along 2, and the Boy

We kick off a brand new year with 2016 and after how strong 2015 ended, it was going to be interesting to see how 2016 started off and if it could keep the momentum going or if it would stall it a bit like we’ve seen most years. One thing that obviously helps is if this category has at least more than one film in it and this year, we do get a few films in this category though perhaps not as many as there should be. The first film that makes it into this category is the epic drama film the Revenant, based on the novel of the same name documenting the life of frontiersman Hugh Glass. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a good film mainly carried by the performances of its stars, and it would finish with over $183 million which I will delve into later in the recap. The next film that makes it into this category is the buddy cop sequel Ride Along 2, the sequel to the 2014 film where Ben and James attempt to bring down a drug dealer in Atlanta. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was on par if not worse than the first film, and it would finish with over $91 million which was a good showing though it was also less than the first film. The last film that makes it into this category is the horror film the Boy, a film about an American nanny who is hired to watch over a doll only to find out it is potentially possessed. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was too pedestrian despite the unique plot, and it would finish with over $35 million which was a fine showing for a horror film in January. While we did end up getting three films in this category, it does feel a bit disappointing given that a few films released this month should’ve done better as I will get into later.

January Losers: The Finest Hours and Jane Got a Gun

Normally, this category can have quite a good number of films make it during the month of January since the month is usually dominated by the December films, but this month bucks the trend a bit with only two films making it. Now it comes down to how bad the films did and if they were bad enough to drag the month down, but the fact that there were only two films is itself a plus for the month. The first film that makes it into this category is the action thriller film the Finest Hours, based on the true story of the U.S. Coast Guard rescuing the crew of the S.S. Pendleton in 1952. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it left a lot to be desired despite its commitment to accuracy, and it would finish with over $27 million which netted a fairly big loss for the film. The other film that makes it into this category is the Western film Jane Got a Gun, a film about a woman who recruits her ex to protect her family from a gang of outlaws. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt that the film wasted Natalie Portman’s performance, and it would finish with just over $1 million which was a poor showing for this film. While there were only 2 films that made it into this category, the fact that both did as poorly as they did is not a good sign for how the month will end up doing in the end.

The Surprise/Story of January 2016: The Revenant dominants Kung Fu Panda 3 and takes top spot of light January 2016

So as I mentioned earlier in the recap, January has become predominately owned by the big films that were released in December which holds serve here as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was the big money maker for the month. January also sees a couple of award contenders that were released limited in December come out wide here, and the Revenant was at the top of that as it would be the front-runner in terms of money made. When it comes to the actual January releases, the two with the most eyes were Kung Fu Panda 3 and Ride Along 2 and while both those films did fairly well, neither ended up coming close to the Revenant which would take the top spot for the month and pretty much carried the month for the most part.

Overachiever of January 2016: The Revenant

On paper, it seemed like the Revenant would only appeal to a certain section of the audience as it is a film that is pretty much carried by the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio and this film is coming just off the heels of another Western in the Hateful Eight. While the reviews for the film were fairly positive, there was still a belief that a Western had a ceiling and could only go so high, but somehow the Revenant would buck this trend by finishing with well over $183 million and that’s coming off a solid performance on the limited circuit. Coupled with the number of awards that was getting nominated for and you had the recipe for a great showing by this film, and there is no question that this film deserves to be the overachiever of the month and we will see how it stands up against the other overachievers of the year.

Underachiever of January 2016: Kung Fu Panda 3

Looking at the films released this month, coming up with a film that deserved to be in this category was a bit of a challenge, but I ended up deciding on the third film in the Kung Fu Panda trilogy which sees Po reunite with his biological father while helping the Furious Five and the panda village stop an evil spirit warrior. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a fine third film in the series, and it would finish with over $143 million which made the lowest grossing film of the series. One could say part of the problem was that this film was released in January as opposed to the summer which is when the other films came out, but you could also say that this was a prime spot for it to do well given the lack of family films out at this time. As a result, this film does end up being the underachiever of the month and we will see what happens with the Kung Fu Panda franchise if it continues or decides to go a different direction.

January 2016 Awards Watch: The Revenant, Dirty Grandpa, Room, Carol, Fifty Shades of Black, and the Danish Girl

As we come to the start of the year, we are hitting the home stretch of the awards season and it is during this time that the big contenders come out, and this year is no exception as we have multiple films from this month make it into this category. The first film that makes it into this category is the Revenant which would win 3 Academy Awards (Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography) while being nominated for 9 more (Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, and Best Visual Effects). The film would also win 3 Golden Globe Awards (Best Picture – Drama, Best Actor – Drama, and Best Director) while being nominated for one more (Best Original Score) which solidified its place as one of the top films of the year. The next film that makes it into this category is the comedy film Dirty Grandpa, a film about a man who takes his grandfather to Florida for Spring Break, and the film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was one of the worst of the year as it finished with over $35 million as it would be nominated for 4 Golden Raspberry Awards (Worst Film, Worst Actor, Worst Supporting Actress, and Worst Screenplay) though it wouldn’t win any. The next film that makes it into this category is the survival drama film Room, a film about a mother who escapes captivity with her son who was born while in captivity and she lets him experience freedom. The film would receive critical acclaim from critics who considered it one of the best films of the year and it would finish with over $14 million, and it would win one Academy Award (Best Actress) while being nominated for 3 more (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay). It would also win 1 Golden Globe Award (Best Actress – Drama) and was nominated for two more (Best Picture – Drama and Best Screenplay), and this would also solidify it’s spot as one of the best of the year. The next film that makes it into this category is the romantic drama film Carol, a film about an older woman going through a divorce and having an affair with a younger female photographer. It would receive critical acclaim from critics and would finish with over $12 million as it was nominated for 6 Academy Awards (Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Costume Design) though it wouldn’t win any. It was also nominated for 4 Golden Globe Awards (Best Picture – Drama, Best Actress – Drama twice, Best Director, and Best Original Score) which it didn’t win any, but again it showed how well it was received. The next film that makes it into this category is the parody film Fifty Shades of Black, a parody of Fifty Shades of Grey where a businessman introduces a shy college student to his idea of romance. The film was critically panned by critics who felt it was a terrible parody of a film that was already not well-liked and it would finish with over $11 million, and it would be nominated for 2 Golden Raspberry Awards (Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel) though it didn’t win either. The last film that makes it into this category is the romantic drama film the Danish Girl, based on the novel of the same name focusing on two Danish painters, one of them being a transgender woman. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics and would finish with over $11 million as it would win one Academy Award (Best Supporting Actress) while being nominated for 3 more (Best Actor, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design). The film would also receive 3 Golden Globe nominations (Best Actor – Drama, Best Actress – Drama, and Best Original Score) which it didn’t win, and it is fair to say this month racked up a lot of nominates though only a few wins amongst them.

Overall Thoughts of January 2016:

Overall, the month of January 2016 ended up being a fairly solid month that falls about right in the middle, and that itself is a very good showing considering how many previous Januarys have been absolute garbage. We are a far cry from Januarys like in 2007 and 2010 where they were just complete throwaway months, and while this year’s is not a top-tier month like other months in the year, it is still pretty solid. We did have 2 films make over $100 million which itself was strong given it is rare that we even get one let alone 2, and the rest of the films did fairly decent with only one or two major underperformers. After a strong end to 2015, this was a fine start to 2016 and we will see how the rest of the year plays out as on the surface, it doesn’t look like anything will match up to the Force Awakens. As for the month of January 2016, it is a solid enough month that wasn’t great, but wasn’t terrible either.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV

First, in 1988, the film Alien Nation was a theatrical release. That spawned this televised adaptation of that film. While only running for a single season, the franchise showed it had popularity and staying power, as televised movies and other forms of media appeared after this show’s demise.

Then, 30 years ago FOX shook up the TV landscape when they grabbed the NFL’s NFC television package from CBS. In the process, several CBS stations in NFC markets not wanting to lose out on football jumped ship to FOX and set up a domino effect around the country changing many TV viewers’ habits. Some of these changes are still being felt in various markets years later.

Ryan and Cindy start their fifth year of podcasting with a very…lackluster Pay Per View showing as we go down hill on the back half of 1999. We go to Charlotte or in one case Hell, for the WWF’s September PPV. Among the many topics:

The return of Vince McMahon proving that in 1999 gone forever meant approximately 7 weeks.
Vince winning the World title as the push Triple H as hard as possible campaign shows no signs of slowing down.
The referees unionizing and going on strike, for unsafe working condition, forcing SCAB referees.
Steve Blackman turning his murderous rage to Val Venis and then attempting to go after a conspicuous buxom EMT.
D-Lo Brown getting a measure of revenge on Sexual Chocolate.
Jeff Jarrett and Chyna having a lackluster match, that luckily gets some personality infused by Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah.
The New Age Outlaws reunite because…reasons?
A recap of the epic Big Boss Man/Al Snow feud and the Kennel From Hell that, well IYKYK and if not I recommend the Mick Foley/Kevin Kelly commentary from DVD.
The sudden exit of Ken Shamrock from the WWF and the shock that he never came back for even a cameo.
Chris Jericho’s WWF PPV debut in a good match with X-Pac that suffers from very late crowd heat.
The British Bulldog’s back and bigger than ever! We also talk about the previous Smackdown featuring 5 (!) Triple H matches.
The Six-Pack match kind of just happening for no reason, but it being kind of fun I guess
The night after featuring the infamous This Is Your Life Rock featuring Yurple, Mr. Rocko, and the Rock’s highschool girlfriend offering him a nice piece of that Poontang Pie!

August Winners: Guardians of the Galaxy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Let’s Be Cops, the Hundred-Foot Journey, If I Stay, and the Giver

We continue on through the year of 2014 as we come to the last month of the summer and unlike previous Augusts, this month had the potential to be great as there were quite a few major releases this month. With the box office still pretty hot for the majority of the summer, this was a good way to close out the summer on a strong note and we did have quite a good number of films make it into this category. The first film that makes it into this category is the next installment in the MCU which is Guardians of the Galaxy, which sees a group of extraterrestrial criminals battle an evil force over a powerful object. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a fresh outing for the MCU and it would finish with over $333 million which I will delve into later in the recap. The next film that makes it into this category is the latest reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which sees the four turtles team up with April O’Neil to battle the Shredder and his Foot Clan who look to unleash a virus on New York City. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a poor rehash of the classic characters, but the film would resonate with audiences as it finished with over $191 million ensuring the franchise still had some legs. The next film that makes it into this category is the action comedy Let’s Be Cops, a film about a pair of friends who pretend to be police officers and end up dealing with an Albanian gang. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt the film didn’t live up to the chemistry between the stars, and it would finish with over $82 million which was a pretty decent success for the film. The next film that makes it into this category is the comedy drama film the Hundred-Foot Journey, based on the novel of the same name of two rival restaurants in France battling for customers. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was slightly predictable and it would finish with over $54 million which was a modest success for the film. The next film that makes it into this category is the romantic drama If I Stay, based on the novel of the same name about a teenager who suffers an out-of-body experience while in a coma and struggles with whether to continue living after a tragic accident or move onto the afterlife. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a weaker YA adaptation and it would finish with over $50 million which was enough to get it into the top 5 of the month. The last film that makes it into this film is the drama film the Giver, based on the novel of the same name about a young boy who is set to become the Receiver of Memory and struggles with the concept of emotion. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it didn’t live up to the source material, and the film would finish with over $45 million which was still a minor success. This was a pretty strong month with the two blockbusters dominating while the rest of the films in this category provided good counter-programming, and we will see if they were good enough to carry the month to a high level.

August Losers: The Expendables 3, Step Up All In, and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

While the previous category had quite a number of films make it showing how well the month was doing, we did also have a few films make it into this category as there were a few films that cracked under the pressure. It would’ve been nice to see no film make it into this category for a month like this, but unfortunately there are going to be some films that don’t do well and these films are examples of that. The first film that makes it into this category is the third film in the Expendables franchise, and this film sees the group face off against their former co-founder who becomes an arms dealer and vows to destroy the team. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was on par with the other films in the trilogy, and it would finish with over $39 million which would be the lowest of the trilogy and it will be interesting to see if the franchise continues. The next film that makes it into this category is the dance film Step Up All In, the fifth film in the franchise where Sean Asa and his crew move to Los Angeles where they form a new crew to prepare for a competition. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who criticized the plot though praised the dancing, and it would finish with over $14 million which makes it the lowest grossing film in the franchise and ends it on a downer. The last film that makes it into this category is the sequel to Sin City with A Dame to Kill For, which sees several characters continue their story while intertwined with each other. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a step down from the previous film, and it would finish with over $13 million which was also a big step down from the previous film. While there were only three films that made it into this category, these films were fairly big losers and we will see how they end up affecting the month in the end.

The Surprise/Story of August 2014: The MCU continues its streak as Guardians of the Galaxy dominates surprisingly good August 2014

As I had mentioned before, August typically didn’t see a lot of blockbusters released as this month is usually a down month for the summer with most of the big films coming out in either June or July, and the few times that a blockbuster did come out this month, it was a moderate success though not enough to carry the month to a higher level. This month bucks that trend with two major blockbusters released this month with Guardians of the Galaxy and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and needless to say these two films dominated the month and nothing else that came out this month was going to come close to them. Ultimately, Guardians had the MCU momentum behind it which put it far ahead of the recognized property that were the Turtles, and with the rest of the films of the month doing just enough and nothing bombing, it would lead to a really great outing for this month.

Overachiever of August 2014: Guardians of the Galaxy

When the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was announced, the one film that caught everyone’s attention was Guardians of the Galaxy which was one of the more obscure groups that Marvel had done, especially given the fact that there were actually two versions of the Guardians with the MCU opting to go with the second iteration of the team. Adding to the fact that it was basically another origin story right in the middle of the phase where the other characters were fully established to this point, and it seemed like this could go the way of the Incredible Hulk and Thor: The Dark World as one of the weaker entries. However, buzz for the film began to grow thanks to the cast, the visuals, and the soundtrack, and the film would also get strong acclaim from critics who felt it was a fresh outing for the MCU while serving as a good introduction to these characters. In the end, audiences agreed with the critics and the film made over $333 million and is still regarded as one of the most popular films in the MCU which all but guaranteed the Guardians would get at least one more stand-alone film, and there is also no question that this film deserves to be the overachiever of the month and we will see how it stacks up to the rest of the overachievers of the year.

Underachiever of August 2014: The Expendables 3

Since the first Expendables came out 4 years ago in 2010, this franchise has tried to find its footing as a series featuring numerous action stars and providing a lot of action in each of the films. Sadly, critics have not been kind to the franchise as the first film was not well-received, the second film was more favored, but this third film ends up to this point being the worst-reviewed film in the franchise. The franchise has also struggled to connect with audiences as despite the first film making over $100 million, the next two films have clearly seen diminishing returns with the second film making over $85 million and now this film making over $39 million making it also the lowest-grossing film in the franchise. With the trilogy now complete, it will be interesting to see if they try to continue on with a fourth film or if they will just cut their losses and end it here. As a result, this film joins the ranks of the first film by being named the underachiever of the month and we will see how it ranks up to the other underachievers of the year.

August 2014 Awards Watch: Guardians of the Galaxy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Hundred-Foot Journey, and the Expendables 3

As we see during the month of August, we either have no award contenders or at least a few though we never have a large amount of films make it into this category, but this month we do have a decent amount with 4 films which might be the most for the month of August to this point. The first film that makes it into this category is Guardians of the Galaxy which was nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Makeup and Hairstyling and Best Visual Effects) though it wouldn’t win either, but it continues the run of MCU films getting at least one nomination. The next film that makes it into this category is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which would win one Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Supporting Actress) while being nominated for 4 more (Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, and Worst Screenplay), and it will be interesting to see if there is a sequel if that is better received by critics. The next film that makes it into this category is the Hundred-Foot Journey which was nominated for one Golden Globe Award (Best Actress – Comedy or Musical) though it wouldn’t win, and the last film that makes it into this category is the Expendables 3 which would win one Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Supporting Actor) while being nominated for 2 more (Worst Supporting Actor). It was basically half and half for this month with two films getting nominated for the good awards while the other two were nominated for the bad awards.

Overall Thoughts of August 2014:

Overall, the month of August 2014 ended up being a pretty great month that was slightly better than July and on par with June which is quite remarkable as August is typically the down month for the summer. As I mentioned earlier, August usually doesn’t have any major films released during it though as we see, clearly audiences will come out in droves for the right film as we saw here. We had two films cross over $100 million with one making well over $300 million and the rest of the films were solid to average, and there were no films that came out this month that ended up bombing or even really underdelivering. 2014 has been a pretty solid year to this point and the summer has been one of the best, and as we head into the fall we will see if the momentum stays or starts to die off going into the holiday season. As for the month of August 2014, it is a great month and is probably the best August to this date.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go back to school.

First, it’s time to go back to school for the next three installments! We start with someone who is teaching until he gets his big break in acting, hooking up with seemingly every single lady along the way. Nick Freno: Licensed Teacherbrought some realities teenagers went through (and still go through) at the time, in addition to being a light-hearted comedy.

Then, before Brian Griffin created a series about two oddball roommates on an episode of Family Guy, that premise was used in a short-lived NBC series which paired up a 14-year-old with an ex-Marine in his 40s in a college dorm. Ratings were amazing for the premiere episode, but the show still lasted only 8 shows. Find out why in this installment.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate the birthday of Susan St. James while also celebrating the 25th anniversary of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

First, the 1990s was a renaissance for George Foreman, between regaining the WBA heavyweight championship, and the creation and rise in popularity of what became the George Foreman Grill. Before those events, Foreman helmed a self-titled short-lived sitcom. Happy 78th birthday, Susan St. James!

Then, today (August 16th) marks the 25th anniversary of the premiere episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? on ABC. The gang shares their memories and expectations leading up to the first episode while looking at some of the questions from the premiere.

Some of the questions in the premiere seemed easy in 1999 while some questions that looked hard in 1999 would be considered easy in 2024.

In 1988, the U.S. Men’s basketball team finished with a disappointing bronze medal, after having won the gold in almost every other previous Olympiad. For that reason or because some teams had professional players, the Olympics opened the games to professionals. The United States loaded up their squad with 11 of the NBA’s best, plus Christian Laettner. The first game was against Angola which, to put it kindly, was slaughtered by the Americans.

“You’re all fools. Heroic fools. The brave are always the first to die.”

And with that, the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series comes to a triumphant, confident conclusion. In different circumstances, these 13 episodes might have instead served as the entirety of the series. The full production staff who worked their magic in crafting the show from the ground up, taking such care in maintaining fidelity to the source material while also telling original stories for a different medium, had fulfilled their contracts and largely parted company. They held no expectations of working on the series beyond the initial 13-episode commitment from Fox — or, indeed, of the series even continuing beyond that. With the benefit of hindsight, such a premature demise sounds utterly ridiculous given the show’s enormous success since its haphazard Halloween premiere. Against scheduling snafus, panic-inducing deadlines, animation errors, and tepid support from network executives, it became clear that X-Men would NOT be denied. By the airdate of this finale, the shoe was on the other foot with Fox scrambling to re-assemble their dream team ahead of an inevitable second season. As for the episode itself, it wisely dispenses with complex plot elements in favor of a straightforward rescue mission. Senator Kelly has been abducted, so the X-Men have a job to do. The interconnected, highly serialized series structure allows the story to lean on previous episodes to establish the stakes. Kelly’s assassination is destined to start a chain of events that sees the world plunged into a brutal dystopia under Sentinel rule. It must be prevented at all costs. With the quick pivot away from Magneto’s menace teased last episode in favor of the Sentinels’ return, all of the pieces are in place for that dark future to almost certainly be realized. In some ways, denying viewers a highly anticipated rematch between the X-Men and Magneto feels like a bit of a cheat, especially on the strength of such a dramatically effective cliffhanger. Nevertheless, this proves to be a shrewd act of discipline consistent with what we will more commonly see in Magneto’s presentation over the course of the series: conflicted antagonist at worst, and unlikely ally at best. It surprisingly proves to be a far more nuanced characterization as compared to the contemporaneous comics, which practically took him back to his stark-raving Silver Age roots. Controversial twist aside, “The Final Decision” is all the better for getting Magneto back into play. With the Sentinels almost immediately turning on their creator, the episode also manages to work in more commentary on the illogical nature of humanity’s prejudice against mutants. From there, the plot smartly lays out to let the X-Men simply fulfill their remit: protecting a world that fears and hates them. This allows for a slower pace, lingering on a number of quick but effective character spotlights, before ratcheting the action back up for an appropriately kinetic climax. Each team member’s individual decision in grappling with the question of whether or not to join what looks to be a hopeless mission, set to a dramatic, swelling score, is one of the finest, shining moments for the ensemble cast in the show’s entire run. It’s scenes like these that allow us to overlook some of the smaller, Saturday Morning Cartoon segments of unintentional goofiness (such as the Blackbird being packed with a comically enormous amount of explosives as Professor X flies it into Master Mold, or the goofiness of Master Mold’s evil master plan). All told, capping off this first season with a satisfying, energetic, decisive victory over the Sentinels offers perfect symmetry in calling back to the series premiere, resolving our heroes’ unfinished business and bringing a number of character arcs full circle.

The wait is over… the latest season of Talk’n Docs has arrived!

Last season Jenny, Logan, and Cowboy examined the twisted world of serial killers so it was time for a lighter note (no pun intended). To that end, the new season will focus on documentaries featuring a range of musicians spanning multiple genres.

The crew starts things off with a bang by taking a look back at 2018’s “If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd”

This excellent documentary follows the band from their humble roots to superstardom and, ultimately, tragedy and redemption. Woven in are all of the band’s major hits along with some excellent deep cuts.

Jenny, Cowboy, and “Simple Man” Logan Crosland give their thoughts across a gamut of topics related to the film and music. For any fan of the band or great documentaries, this is not an episode to be missed. Enjoy!

With their previous adventure offering a rare, decisive ending that didn’t propel our heroes headlong into their next conflict for a change, X-MEN uses this act break to try something completely different: a time jump, as part 1 opens without warning in the distant, bleak future of 2055. Of course, the episode’s title gives long-time comics devotees some idea of what to expect. “Days of Future Past” serves as the series’ first direct adaptation, employing not just common characters and plot points, but lifting its story and namesake right out of the source material. The production team will go to this well on several more occasions in seasons ahead — to varying degrees of success — but their placement of “Days” doesn’t coast on reputation alone. Though it is considered an all-time great, this story was ripe for the picking even so early in the run. Given the heavy emphasis on human-mutant relations and ever-present threat of the Sentinels, it stands as a logical extension of the ideas this first season has been most interested in getting across. Already, the X-Men have battled these mutant-hunting robots at home, abroad, and now, in the far-off future. The Sentinels’ specter of oppression seems inescapable, hammering home just how high the stakes have become in the fight for trust and acceptance.

Of course, like any effective adaptation, this teleplay takes some liberal departures from the original story in consideration of its audience, medium, and priorities. For the sake of simplicity (already a challenge for any tale centered around time travel as a plot device), absent are a number of characters not yet introduced within the universe of X-MEN: TAS. Notably, protagonist Kitty Pryde is nowhere to be seen, swapped out for Bishop as the mutant on a mission from the future. The specific motive, however, remains firmly intact, as made abundantly clear in part 2: prevent the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly at the hands of Mystique and her Brotherhood to avert a nightmarish future under dominion by the Sentinels. Popular then-rookie X-Man Bishop was always going to find his way into the show sooner rather than later, and appending his introduction to a classic comics saga lends the character a certain gravitas he might have otherwise lacked as a random walk-on guest (we’re looking at you, Colossus). While this necessitates changes to Bishop’s own backstory, the time travel conceit alone provides a logical rationale for his inclusion. What he brings to the lore isn’t entirely discarded, as the mystery of a traitor within the X-Men’s ranks is incorporated and woven into Mystique’s plan. It serves as an interesting addendum to the source narrative — not only does Mystique seek to murder Senator Kelly, she means to frame the X-Men in the process. It’s a strong example of the show’s finesse in weaving together unrelated, disparate plot elements, separated by more than a decade of publications (not to mention efficiently concluding a subplot that would persist throughout the comics for years to come, namely in the form of Bishop’s distrust of Gambit and efforts to identify the traitor). All of it coalesces on arguably the most brilliant cliffhanger the series would ever deliver. For all the production team knew, this 13-episode season was going to be their only shot at bringing the X-Men to life on Saturday mornings. With their penultimate story ending on a twist DESPERATELY in need of resolution, the stage is set for a monumental, can’t-miss finale.

X-TRA: The reappearance of Mystique in this 2-parter allows for the opportunity to do a little continuity patchwork. Comics fans disappointed by Rogue’s apparent lack of history with Mystique during their encounter in “Come the Apocalypse” were placated by the confirmation that the duo’s familial relationship from the comics is maintained within the series after all. The explanation for Rogue failing to recognize her own foster mother? Rogue simply knew her in a different guise, with Mystique’s natural appearance either previously unrevealed to Rogue OR a byproduct of Apocalypse’s handiwork.

“I AM my powers. And the good they can do. For my friends, and for the whole world. I reckon maybe I can live with that after all.”

Experts Jenny, Tim, and Keith are back with another double feature and faced with the question: what if the physical condition of mutation could be removed, rendering a mutant indistinguishable from their baseline human peers? This thought experiment has offered some of the richest concepts for exploration across all of X-Men media and drives the central conflict of our two-parter. Would such a mutation “cure” be selfish to pursue? After all, the Spider-Man Principle teaches us that with great power comes great responsibility; that is, a commitment to use said power to the maximum benefit of all. But does such a responsibility exist in a world that would just as soon see its self-appointed protectors erased from existence? Furthermore, wouldn’t it be selfish or irresponsible for certain mutants, due to the nature of their powers, NOT to seek a cure if such an option was available? Possessing a dangerous, “always on” power that she cannot consciously control, Rogue is the one main character who represents the best argument in favor of a mutant cure. Her mutation is perhaps the cruelest of all – invisible on the surface, allowing her to easily pass as “normal,” yet posing a risk to anyone within arm’s reach. To counter this, Rogue must deprive herself even the most fleeting, casual acts of human intimacy. For all the good she can do as a member of the X-Men, it’s hard to deny that the removal of her powers wouldn’t be a net benefit: not only to Rogue individually, but society at large. There are others who view their mutations very much as gifts and intrinsic to their identities. This is where the series starts to touch upon the concept of mutant pride, and feels ahead of its time in doing so. While a number of X-Men stories can be boiled down to “good” mutants vs. “bad” mutants and the humans caught in the middle – or, the human response to living among mutants – another important dimension to consider is how mutants feel about themselves. On the one had, it would be easy to present the characters with superficially cool, wish-fulfillment powers completely under their control (itself an interesting type of privilege rarely brought up within the franchise) as being dismissive of the cure. Yet as with most things X-Men, the dividing lines are not so clear cut. In the end, the purported cure turns out to be a cautionary tale, with those who volunteered to go through with it ending up far worse off for the experience. Taking the cure off the board in this way may seem a cop-out, but to some extent the show has a moral imperative to do so. After all, there’s no cure for any of the real-world stand-ins for mutation that make people “different.” And even if there was, the onus isn’t on the oppressed to change who they are for the satisfaction of their oppressors. The conclusions drawn and options available are much the same as where we leave this pair of episodes: there’s no changing who you are, but you can change the way the world sees you. However unfairly, that burden is laid at the feet of the vulnerable communities most in need of such change. So it goes in life as it does in fiction, with the X-Men persisting in fighting for acceptance by a world that fears and hates them.

X-Position X-TRA: Dr. Adler – presumably the real Dr. Adler – can be seen in a photograph alongside mutant inventor extraordinaire Forge in episode 4 (“Lifedeath,” pt. 1) of sequel series X-Men ’97. Forge goes on to explain that he worked with the scientist while in the employ of the U.S. Department of Defense. He stopped short of outright developing weapons against mutants, but Adler had no such qualms. Adler used Forge’s research and prototypes to create the power-blocking inhibitor collars first seen on Genosha (in “Slave Island”). This same technology was utilized in the development of the neutralizer gun Storm was de-powered by in episode 2 (“Mutant Liberation Begins”). (Also pictured with Adler and Forge, albeit partially obscured? None other than Bastion, leader of the anti-mutant taskforce Operation: Zero Tolerance. The doctor traveled in extremely mixed company.)

Costner on the Horizon

by Paul Bernardo paulieb2003@gmail.com

More and More we are seeing Hollywood’s elite making their own movies, with their own money on their own terms. Coppola with Megalopolis and now Kevin Costner is doubling down with what he hopes is a four part epic: Horizon: An American Saga. At the moment though, only chapters 1 and 2 are shot and completed. I believe Costner is looking for financing to finish off chapters 3 and 4.

Costner shot through the stratosphere once again recently starring in the immense hit show, Yellowstone, created by Taylor Sheridan. Taylor went off to create many spinoffs and a small production empire, and Costner focused on making his magnum opus. Something he has been working on for over 15 years, and which he feels needs four chapters to tell it properly. We know it’s around the time of the Civil War, and the expansion of America. Costner has a lot of experience with this era, starting with his Oscar winning directorial debut, Dances With Wolves, to the more recent acclaimed limited series, Hatfields and McCoys. Costner seems infatuated with this era of American history and seems to think that he has much more to say on the subject. Both projects were immense critical and financial successes, so he might be onto something there.

The fact that no major studio would back him up on this, given his legendary track record of success specifically in this genre, is disheartening and perhaps a hint at the future of Hollywood. Warner Bros has signed to release the film’s chapters 1 and 2, but that company did have some very hard times recently. Perhaps the studios are too caught up in the cookie cutter ease of financial gain from the DC and Marvel Universes. After all, they did make a lot of money from those brands. Signing stars to multi-picture deals cheaply right from the start, no fuss, no mess. Scripts pretty much all alike, board rooms agreeing on everything. Limited gambles to the say the least. No big risk, no big new ideas, no gut feelings, no instincts. Just more of the same, and guaranteed profit. If Hollywood won’t gamble on lifelong hit makers like Costner or Coppola, then who will they gamble on? Will they ever gamble again or just go with remakes, reboots and sequels?

Big names in Hollywood just don’t seem to matter anymore. Billy Crystal begged the studio to make Parental Guidance 2, but they refused, saying that there was no merchandise to sell won’t make it worth it, and focus groups say there was no interest. Yet they make 6 Mad Max movies, and 5 Thor movies, and 11 Fast and Furious movies. Hollywood is making the art of film in the path of least resistance. Which as we all know, is how you make the worst art possible, of any kind. Then they wonder why box office numbers are so low, maybe they should ask why the quality of product is so low instead.

At an interview in Cannes, Costner was asked about the amount of his own money he had invested in Horizon: An American Saga. Rumors say it was 20 million dollars. Costner then said the real number was closer to 38 million. He then went on to say he was knocking on doors, and boats all over Cannes looking for financiers and donors to help him complete the massive four chapter epic. I guess Hollywood had turned their backs on him and wished him good luck. Even after Dances with Wolves, even after Hatfield and McCoys and even after Yellowstone. If that’s not taming the wild wild west, I don’t know what is.

As it stands now, Chapter 1 is being released in theaters June 28, and Chapter 2 is being released August 16.

Ryan and Cindy continue their trek through 1999 WWF but take a bit of a detour. Due to the horrible incident that happened at Over the Edge 1999 it was decided to skip that show, and instead look back at the Smackdown Pilot, and then selected segments from Raw in May and June of 1999. Among the topics:

How and why Smackdown was being formatted and how a wrestling pilot show looks.
The Corporation/Ministry of Darkness merger and their soon to follow theme song mash-up.
Talk of how the 1-2 punch of May 3rd and 10 Raw running unopposed helped make the chasm between WWF and WCW grow into the Grand Canyon.
One of Vince Russo’s favorite tropes factions with silly acronyms, the Union or Union of People You Oughta Respect Shane, UP YORS forms and takes shape
The Stooges beginning their epic feud with the Mean Street Posse, including setting the at the time, mark for most watched wrestling match on cable TV.
The end (for now) of Sable’s run atop the Women’s Division and WWF in general
Shawn Michaels turn as a hot cop and how he helps push along the Corporate Ministry against Austin, Rock and friends
We discuss Over the Edge what happened, why it happened, why the show continued and Raw the next night
We then look at Raw on May 31, where Jeff Jarrett wins the IC title, Triple H injures Mankind and the Higher Power reveals himself to Steve Austin
We then watch the beginning of the next Raw with the reveal of (25 year spoiler alert) Vince McMahon as the Higher Power and how it went over as a fart bomb, but at least it’s given no time to breath and immediately get Linda McMahon’s new CEO announcement to set the stage for the next few weeks

Enjoy the Show!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue with Pilot Month 2024.

First, 1982 was a time of flux at NBC in the daytime. Game shows were out earlier that year minus Wheel of Fortune, replaced with soaps and sitcom reruns. NBC had a pilot that was part-game, part-psychological analysis with Let’s Get Personal, hosted by a familiar face to NBC game show watchers, but also with an acting troupe of three big names around these parts.

Then, as we have said in the past, Jay Wolpert is the master of the overly complex but unique game show format. In this show, two people build a team of players with the end goal of winning that captain $10,000 and making some fast friends. Apparently NBC passed this up for a show that John Davidson predicted would be on for a very long time.

Presenting: The LAST Talk’n WCW! That’s right, the rumors and innuendos are true. For various reasons, as you will hear in full transparency, the time has come to wrap up the show. We’re making every effort to go out on a high note, however, by paying tribute to WCW’s most decorated tag team: Harlem Heat! First up, an energetic Nitro opener against frequent rivals with their freshly-won World Tag Team Championship at stake. Then, a surprisingly competitive contest pitting the Heat against a main event tag team and taking them to the limit. Finally, we send the show out in style by way of a turbulent tornado match for the ages, which only the commentary trio of Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan, and Dusty Rhodes may have possibly loved more. All that and Sherri too! Whether they were turning in reliably strong TV performances week after week, mixing it up in the midcard with some of the wildest PPV brawls, or holding their own against the biggest stars of the day, Booker T and Stevie Ray unquestionably raised the roof on tag team wrestling in the ’90s! Jenny, Tim, and Greg extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of the listeners who have supported us over the years. We have received nothing but encouragement and positive feedback along the way, so it is with extremely mixed emotions that we bid you farewell. Signing off, for now if not forever, this has been Talk’n WCW.

The first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs have come to a close (some earlier than others), so what sense is there to make of the second round, with so many Hall of Famers already gone fishin’? Well, fear not, because Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are back in town to discuss the four match-ups! The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first playoff series without LeBron James since the 90’s, but how much of a threat can Donovan Mitchell’s crew really be against the mighty Celtics? It’s the Knicks and the Pacers again, but why is all about offense instead of defense as the Pacers try to outscore the magnificent Jalen Brunson? Can the young, athletic Oklahoma City Thunder swat away the savvy superstars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in Dallas? And after one game already being played, is it possible that the West will be won between Minnesota and Denver? All this, draft lottery talk, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 304 with the NBA-Team!

The Flash (2023) 2hr 24m

Dir: Andy Muschietti

Writers: Christina Hodson; John Francis Daley; Jonathan Goldstein.

Starring: Ezra Miller; Michael Keaton; Sasha Calle; Michael Shannon.

By Paul Bernardo paulieb2003@gmail.com

Lots of talk about this one. I finally got my hands on it, because I was not paying for this, tell you that right now. The Flash flat out bombed in so many ways when it was released, and honestly, deservedly so. This thing is a trainwreck. I am pretty sure one of the writer’s kids wrote it. It literally seems like an 8 year old wrote this script. So many holes, so many questions, so confusing and it just does whatever it wants, it’s ludicrous.

For James Gunn to say this was the greatest film he has ever seen in his life, proves he will say whatever his boss’s tell him to say. Shame, because that wrecks his credibility and integrity. He’s like the Trump of the movie world now.

So let’s start with the very obvious – the CGI or the VFX or whatever you call it – is used horribly here in this film and is used entirely way too much. You can tell when the characters become the CGI versions of themselves. You can visibly and easily see when Batman becomes a videogame, when Flash becomes a videogame, when Supergirl becomes a videogame – it’s insanely bad. I mean, we know they become CGI when they do crazy stunts, but this was the worst I’ve ever seen on camera, that was NOT a videogame.

Then the timeline scene where you see all the Supermen, for some reason, and not all the Batmen, or all the Wonderwomen or all of the Aquamen and whatever. Somehow they just chose Superman, and that looked incredibly bad. Like a videogame just beginning who had no funding at all.

The Flash battle scene looked ridiculous and was written even worse. “I’ll disarm them, you go around punching them”. Again, an 8 year old would say this and write this. Yes, Barry, let’s go punch the Kryptonians. Great idea. They won’t just get back up or anything. I mean it was so childish and void of any common sense.

Speaking of common sense – let’s get to the biggest problem of all. Barry fixes everything in the beginning and starts to go back to his time and his place in the universe. Something comes out from behind whatever and literally punches Barry in the face so he falls out of the time loop thing and into reality somewhere. Well, if you get punched out, why not just start running again and go back in? Obviously this was not your timeline, and if you see yourself in that reality? It’s really not your timeline. Barry should have just turned around, and started running again to get back into that time loop and go home. Why does he stick around to talk to himself? He knows there can’t be two of him! Why stay and have a chat? And so what the other Barry doesn’t have his powers, maybe that’s not his future at all.

Anyway despite all this garbage and ridiculous story – Barry stays with his himself, why we don’t know, until he loses his powers and can’t go back. Duh. We all saw that coming.

Now it’s a buddy movie – but there’s only one guy. So we have a buddy movie with the same actor. Fantastic. Anyone see Jack and Jill by Adam Sandler? That’s what we got here. One guy, playing one character, with different haircuts. At least Adam Sandler had the guts to wear a dress.

So there is no Superman, no Aquaman, no Wonder Woman, yet – there is a Batman. Why? We don’t know. The 8 yr old only likes Batman I guess. Oh and it’s the Michael Keaton Batman. Why? We don’t know. The 8 yr old must like Keaton. Aquaman’s father married someone else, and that’s the only thing that is explained. Keaton is indeed Batman here, why, we don’t know. So he decides to help find Superman, because Zod has arrived.

Wait – no one else is alive but Zod? Weird. Yea, but the 8 yr old likes it. So Zod is still exactly the same in this universe, even though no one else is. I mean no one else is. Why? Well you get tired of asking that every 3 minutes in this movie, so you just go along with everything at this point.

Keaton helps find Superman for Barry to kill Zod again. But wait – they found him in Russia. How did Russia capture Superman? We don’t know. They go, and it’s not Superman, it’s Supergirl. So how did they track Supergirl to Russia and how was she caught? We don’t know. So Barry saves her anyway and she is still powered by the yellow sun, so that’s good. She will go and kill Zod for them.

Things don’t work out and Barry and Barry 2 keep going back in time to fix things and keep going back to fix things and keep going back – just like an 8 yr old would write, until they give up. Then Barry goes back to his time and sees George Clooney as Batman – so now we are all confused and it ends.

So you are pretty much left scratching your head for 3 hours, and leaving the theater even more confused. I don’t see how James Gunn gave this movie such high praise, unless he was paid to do it. That is bothersome that he can’t even speak his mind anymore.

This script was beyond horrible, the CGI and VFX were even worse. I did laugh though – so the 8 yr old is good with jokes, and Ezra is good at delivering them. Beyond that, this movie is a complete dumpster fire that no fire department can put out.

If I had worse rating to give other than thundershowers, I would. This thing is a typhoon!!

August Winners: We’re the Millers, the Butler, Planes, and Instructions Not Included

We continue on through the summer of 2013 as we hit the month of August, and typically August can be a hit-or-miss month depending on how well the films released this month end up doing. Since there is usually not a major blockbuster that comes out this month, the films that do come out have some pressure on them to deliver and we did see a few from this month that did. The first film from this month that makes it into this category is the comedy heist film We’re the Millers, a film about a pot dealer who convinces his neighbors to pose as his family to bring in a shipment from Mexico. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt the film didn’t fully live up to the potential it had, but the audience felt otherwise as it would finish with over $150 million which was a major win for a film released in August. The next film from this month that makes it into this category is the drama film the Butler, a film loosely based on the true story of a White House butler who served for 34 years and through numerous presidencies. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt the film was carried by the strong performances of the actors, and it would become a surprise hit by making over $116 million which I will delve into later in the recap. The next film from this month that makes it into this category is the animated film Planes, a film about a crop duster who dreams about being a racing plane. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was a weaker entry from Disney, but it would finish with over $90 million which was a solid win and we will see if this ends up spawning a franchise. The final film from this month that makes it into this category is the comedy-drama film Instructions Not Included, a film about a Mexican playboy who finds out he has a child and travels to California to find the mother. The film would receive mixed reviews from critcs and would end up finishing with over $44 million which was a solid win for this foreign film amongst bigger films. These four films did pretty well this month even against some of the blockbusters of the summer still lingering around, and these four films did what they could to try and lift the month up to a fairly high level.

August Losers: Elysium, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and Paranoia

There were some films that were released this month that were looked at to be major hits and coming out in August seemed like the right move since August doesn’t typically have a big blockbuster, but sadly the films that end up in this category wound up falling flat and now the question was how bad did they do and how far down does the month drag because of them. The first film from this month that makes it into this category is the sci-fi film Elysium, a film about a parolee living on an ravaged Earth who works with a hacker to reach the artificial world Elysium. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a fine entry for director Neill Blomkamp though they said it was a step down from District 9, and the film would end up with over $93 million which was a disappointment given some of the hype behind it. The next film that makes it into this category is the next installment in the Percy Jackson franchise with Sea of Monsters, a film which sees Percy and his friends travel to the Sea of Monsters to retrieve the Golden Fleece to save their home. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a step down from the previous film, and it would finish with over $68 million which was another disappointment and in essence killed any potential to continue the franchise. The next film that makes it into this category is the fantasy film the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, based on the novel of the same name of a teenager who discovers a group called the Shadowhunters while learning about her own heritage. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was a weak attempt as starting a new YA franchise, and it would finish with over $31 million which would put an end to any potential sequels going forward. The last film that makes it into this category is the thriller film Paranoia, a film about a corporate employee who is ordered to spy on his boss’ former partner under threat of arrest. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was too cliched and unoriginal, and it would finish with over $7 million which made it one of the bigger bombs of the year. Given that most of the films in this category were expected to do really well, the fact that they made it into this category is not a good sign for how the month will end up doing even against how well the winners did.

The Surprise/Story of August 2013: “We’re the Millers” wins bloated August 2013 to end the summer on a tepid note

August typically is a dumping ground for films right as we get to the end of the summer and the school year is about to begin, and this month in particular was bloated as we had a grand total of 16 films come out this month which is an insane number even for a summer month. There were several films that came out this month that were pretty anticipated and looked to end the summer on a strong note, and coupled with a few of the July blockbusters still making money it seemed like the summer of 2013 would end on a high note. In the end, We’re the Millers ended up being one of the sole highlights of the months along with the Butler while the rest of the films either slightly underdelivered or flat out bombed, and as a result the month does end up being a bit more average than expected and it ended the summer on a somewhat tepid note. This was about one of the more average Augusts that we’ve had as we haven’t seen an August overdeliver though we have had a few that have not been well, and it will be interesting to see going forward if that changes and if a major blockbuster can make the difference.

Overachiever of August 2013: The Butler

Going into this month, there were plenty of films that had a lot of eyes on them and the Butler was clearly under the radar for the most part, and also coming out in the middle of the month also seemed like a bit of a death slot with nothing else major coming out that same weekend. However, the Butler would end up resonating with audiences who felt it was good counterprogramming to the other films coming out that month, and it would also have a strong showing over Labor Day weekend as it was a good film for adults to see while their kids were starting the school year. Bolstered by positive reviews from critics and the underwhelming performances of some of the other films coming out this month, this film would exceed even the modest of expectations and easily deserves the title of overachiever of the month though it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the other overachievers of the year.

Underachiever of August 2013: Kick-Ass 2

Back in April 2010, the first Kick-Ass came out and while I did name it the underachiever of that month, it would end up gaining a cult following and now over 3 years later, we get the release of the sequel which sees Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl try to live normal lives while also being part of a superhero team and an old rival seeks revenge. Unlike the previous film which did receive positive reviews from critics, this film received more negative reviews who felt the film fell short of replicating the magic of the first film. The film would also fall flat out of the gate going up against the Butler in its opening weekend and it didn’t get better as it would finish with over $28 million which was short of the first film and even that bar was low, and this film would even finish in the top 10 for the month and all the goodwill the first film had built up was squandered here. As a result, any hopes for a third film to complete the trilogy were dashed and much like its predecessor, this film ends up being the underachiever of the month and it is easily a bigger underachiever than the first film.

August 2013 Awards Watch: Blue Jasmine, Jobs, and Getaway

When it comes to award contenders, the month of August usually only sees a handful of films make it into this category and sometimes they have no films make it, but this month does see a few films make it into this category. While it is only a few films and not that many, the fact that there were a few that did make it helps prop this month up a bit. The first film that makes it into this category is the comedy-drama film Blue Jasmine, a film about a New York socialite who falls on hard times and moves into her sister’s apartment in San Francisco. The film would receive critical acclaim from critics who consider it one of the best of the year and it would finish with over $33 million, and it would win one Academy Award (Best Actress) while being nominated for two more (Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay). The film would also win one Golden Globe Award (Best Actress – Drama) while being nominated for one more (Best Supporting Actress), and if anything this was more of a showcase for Cate Blanchett in what many consider one of her finest performances. The next film that makes it into this category is the biographical film Jobs, a film about the life of Steve Jobs and the creation of Apple. The film would receive negative reviews from critics who felt it was a weak adaptation of the life of a legendary figure and it would finish with over $16 million, and it would be nominated for 1 Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Actor) which it wouldn’t win. The last film from this month that makes it into this category is the action film Getaway, a film about a former race car driver who finds out his wife has been kidnapped and he must save her. The film would receive harsh reviews from critics and it would finish with over $10 million, and it would be nominated for one Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Actress) though it wouldn’t win. It is interesting that of the three films that made it into this category, one film was on the positive side and the other two were on the negative side and it will be interesting to see how the month of August delivers in future years in terms of award contenders.

Overall Thoughts of August 2013:

Overall, the month of August 2013 ended up being a pretty average month as there was nothing standout about the month, but there was nothing completely terrible to drag it down. The summer of 2013 was so hot that it was inevitable that August was going to be a bit of a letdown due to the lack of a major blockbuster, but fortunately it wasn’t too bad that it killed off all the momentum that the summer had going in. In August’s defense, we did have two films that crossed the $100 million mark though there were quite a few films in this month that did bomb, and the rest of the films did just well enough that it kept the month hovering at average. 2013 has been an interesting year to this point as it started fine, really peaked with May and June, and now as we head into the fall we will see how the next two months play out before the loaded holiday season. As for the month of August 2013, it ends up being a fairly standard month and falls in line with past Augusts of note.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Dir: John Francis Daley; Jonathan Goldstein

Writers: Jonathan Goldstein; John Francis Daley; Michael Gilio

Starring: Chris Pine; Michelle Rodgriguez; Rege-Jean Page; Hugh Grant.

by Paul Bernardo paulieb2003@gmail.com

Hey guys – welcome back to my page. This week I would love to talk about a movie that was a popular game and a really bad ass cartoon in the 80’s that I was absolutely addicted to when I was a kid.

So I was hoping for something, anything like the cartoon, but that didn’t happen, and that’s okay. What did happen though, is really not okay.

First off, Jonathan Goldstein is a pretty good director, so I don’t know what happened here. He directed Game Night, which I liked, and he wrote Horrible Bosses, which I liked, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, which I liked. So I pretty much like his stuff – which makes me think he really could not do what he wanted here, or was hired to save the day. One or the other.

What makes me think about him saving the day is John Francis Dale somehow also got a Director credit – and he’s never directed anything before. So maybe he got in over his head? Maybe Jonathan was hired to save the project and finish it ? I don’t know, I’m just spitballing here.

Here’s what I do know – this movie is horrible. Chris Pine plays Chris Pine. The guy with the charm that has no idea what he’s doing but everyone listens to anyway? Like the Star Trek films, and Wonder Woman and every other film he’s in. So Chris is playing a character we are tired of already – nothing to do with D&D either, by the way.

Michelle Rodriguez, whom I adore – plays a Drax inspired character. She bulked up a bit, looks great and is all about violence and one liners, like Drax from Guardian of the Galaxy. So somebody threw in the towel there, and just said, “can you make her like Drax?”

Then you have a weak magician, like the cartoon but not as likable or funny or even young. This is no teenager, this is a guy who should know his magic by now.

Rounding out the cast is a shapeshifter of some kind, I believe she is a tiefling druid. Her name is Doric, and everyone likes her.

Ah – but the star of the show – the man who carries this whole movie and is head and shoulders above the rest is Hugh Grant! Yes Hugh Grant! Hugh plays the villain, and deliciously so. The screen lights up when he is in it – which proves how bad everyone else is in this thing. Hugh plays Forge. An old friend of Chris Pine – gone bad.

There is also a story about red witches that want to end the world – blah blah. I know – we hear it twice a year, every year – which is why this movie fails so badly. The main story is so old and cliche you could close your eyes and not miss a thing.

The acting is very tired, except for Hugh Grant who has a ton of fun being the bad guy. The plot is old hat, the CGI is normal, no big plot twist, nothing interesting. These guys took a beloved franchise hoping they would pack the seats with D&D fans. Maybe they did – but word spread real quick that this is not D&D quality. Not in terms of fun, fantasy, or imagination. It is just old, boring and more of the same, and I’m glad I watched it on a streaming platform instead of wasting money on popcorn and Jujyfruits.

If you love Chris Pine doing what he does, go see it. Otherwise skip it. Not worth the 2hrs and 14 mins this rambling boring movie happens to be. I mean 2hrs and 14 mins? For a horrible story? Why? Well that’s just one of the many things wrong with this.

Who has ever come out of a 3hr movie and was like, “wow! I wish this was longer!” If you can’t tell your story in 90min or 2hr, that means your story is to convoluted, complicated and confusing. I think this is a proven fact, I could be wrong. It’s definitely the majority.

Since 1939 there have only been a handful of 3 hr movies that were good. Gone With Wind, Godfather I&II, Scarface and Titanic. So that is 5 (more or less) films in 83 years. Not a good record – so you should probably shoot for the normal 2 hour mark. Thanks for reading – see ya next Thursday folks! Write me with any questions or comments!

CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship

We continue on through the summer of 2009 and the feud between Hardy and Punk was starting to really heat things up as coming out of the Bash, the emotions between the two were running extremely high. After their first match ended in some controversy, Hardy was more determined to become champion again while Punk was starting to display some arrogance as he claimed to be better than Hardy simply because of his lifestyle. There was however an interesting point going on behind the scenes in that Hardy might be on his way out the door, so if you figured they were going to get this feud to end at Summerslam, it was going to be interesting to see if this match ended in another screwy finish or if they were going to actually have Hardy win the title and have Punk get his rematch at Summerslam. Either way, you knew that this was going to be a great match and they were going to build off what they did at the Bash, and that no matter what happened that it was going to lead to what could be an epic at Summerslam.

On the 7/3 Smackdown, Punk cut a promo about what happened at the Bash and Hardy’s attack after the match as he demanded an apology from Hardy, and GM Teddy Long came out and announced that Hardy would get his rematch at the PPV as he forced Hardy and Punk to team up later that night. Hardy would come out and Long got between them as Punk told Hardy to “Just Say No”, and later that night they would lost to Edge and Chris Jericho as Hardy would fake an eye injury after the match. On the 7/10 Smackdown, Hardy came out with an eye patch on and said that he didn’t fake injuries like Punk only for Punk to cost him a match against Kane, and later that night Punk cut a promo as he pulled out prescription pills and said this was the only foreign substance he would put in his body as he brought up Hardy had two strikes while he didn’t nor ever had to go to rehab. On the 7/17 Smackdown, Hardy cut a promo bringing up what Punk said last week as he said that he hasn’t failed a test in a year and never had to go to rehab, and Punk came out and said that was nothing to brag about as he said he was scared by the number of Hardy shirts in the crowd and said their hero would become another statistic. Hardy shoved him to the mat and Punk rolled out of the ring as he stayed at ringside until Hardy left, and later that night Hardy and Rey Mysterio defeated Jericho and Dolph Ziggler by DQ when Punk got involved and he would watch as Hardy was trapped in the Walls of Jericho. On the 7/24 Smackdown, Hardy defeated Jericho and cut a promo on facing Punk at the PPV, and later that night Punk cut a promo and challenged the fans to say no to their vices like alcohol or tobacco as Hardy came out and confronted him only for Punk to say he was going to say no as he walked away. Later that night, Punk lost a match to Mysterio when Ziggler got involved and Hardy would make the save only for Punk to give him the Go 2 Sleep. The build has been really hot with Punk bringing up Hardy’s personal issues while pushing his straight edge beliefs, and now it was going to come down to whether Hardy would get his win or again if the match would end in a screwjob.

Punk cuts a great promo early in the night as he confronts the fans in the arena for cheering Hardy and he put the blame on the parents for not raising their children right, and Punk would get a mixed reaction from the crowd though he got more boos than cheers while Hardy got a big pop from the crowd. The two men square off to start the match as Punk gets a kick in and they jockey for position with Punk getting another kick in, and they lock up with Punk hooking a headlock and he goes around Hardy repeatedly before shoving him away. They lock up again with Punk going back to the headlock and he grinds down on Hardy who whips him off and Punk knocks him down, and Hardy leaps over Punk who blocks a hiptoss attempt as he hoists Hardy onto his shoulders though Hardy slides off. He gets a kick in only for Punk to block the Twist of Fate and Hardy hits a pair of clotheslines before ramming Punk into the buckle, and he rams the shoulder into Punk’s ribs repeatedly in the corner and pounds on him before whipping him hard into the other corner. He hoists Punk up only for Punk to hook a sunset flip for a two count and he goes back to the headlock, and Hardy fights to his feet and breaks the hold as Punk reverses a whip and avoids a crossbody as Hardy falls to the outside. Punk looks for a suicide dive only for Hardy to avoid it and Punk lands on the floor as Hardy throws him back into the ring and gets a two count, and he hits a neckbreaker on Punk and goes up top only for Punk to roll outside and he avoids a crossbody from Hardy who hits the barricade. Punk rolls back into the ring and wants the ref to count Hardy out though Hardy makes it back into the ring, and Punk gets a two count and rams the knees into Hardy’s back repeatedly for a two count before whipping him hard into the corner. He kicks at Hardy repeatedly for a two count and hits a low dropkick for a two count before hooking a surfboard submission on, and Hardy escapes the hold as he falls on top of Punk for a one count and Punk kicks at him before pounding on his back. He puts Hardy on the top rope and continues to pound on as he goes up himself only for Hardy to hit a sitdown front suplex, and they trade blows with Hardy taking control as Punk counters a whip only for Hardy to hit a hooking clothesline. He knocks Punk down twice and hits an atomic drop as he trips Punk up and hits a legdrop to the groin, and he hits a low dropkick on Punk for a two count and rams him into the buckle as he goes up top only for Punk to crotch him on the top rope and Hardy falls to the mat. Punk hits the running knee in the corner only for Hardy to block the bulldog as he sends Punk into the corner, and Hardy goes up top and hits Whisper in the Wind on Punk for a two count before hitting a front sitdown suplex. He goes up top again only to miss the Swanton Bomb and Punk hits a double underhook backbreaker, and he hooks a modified dragon sleeper on Hardy who reaches the rope to force a break and Punk kicks and pounds on him. Hardy ducks a shot and hits the Twist of Fate as he goes up top only for Punk to get his knees up on the Swanton Bomb for a two count, and Punk rolls out to the apron and attempts a springboard only for Hardy to catch him coming in with a kick. Punk escapes a Twist of Fate attempt and hoists Hardy onto his shoulders as he hits the Go 2 Sleep for a series of two counts, and Punk rolls outside and grabs the belt as he heads up the aisle only for Hardy to roll outside and he nails Punk from behind. He throws Punk back into the ring and pounds on him before hitting another Twist of Fate and he goes up top, and he hits the Swanton Bomb on Punk which gets the three and we have a new champion as he celebrates with the title and we go off the air.

The match itself was great as both men worked hard and put on a really fun title match that was much better than their match at the Bash. Punk was really gaining steam as he was still somewhat of a tweener though he was clearly leaning heel, and Hardy was at his peak by this point and these two built on their chemistry from the previous match. Going in, it seemed like Hardy was finally going to get his revenge and win the title, but again there was the rumor that he was going to be leaving soon so it always left the possibility open for Punk escaping with the title by some nefarious means. However, they do give Hardy the feel good moment by winning the title and you now know that they are going to continue this feud to Summerslam, and you figured that Punk was going to throw more gas on the fire as he continues this slow heel turn burn. The crowd was red hot for the whole match and popped big for Hardy when he won. Hardy gets the win over Punk and is once again World Heavyweight Champion, but this issue isn’t over yet.

In the forty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston & Jon Keselica to discuss which 70’s Comedy Movies deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Blazing Saddles a no-brainer? What about The Muppet Movie? Does Monty Python & The Holy Grail grab a spot? Does National Lampoon’s Animal House or The Jerk deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 70’s Action Movies will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Dirty Harry shouldn’t get a spot? Will The Warriors be included? Is Star Wars in the conversation? What about The French Connection & Shaft?

CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship

We continue on through the summer of 2009 and things have changed quite a bit since our last PPV as Punk went into One Night Stand as Mr. Money in the Bank in this random feud with Umaga, and he left the PPV as the new World Heavyweight Champion. Not only does he become the first man to win the MITB match back-to-back, he is able to cash in back-to-back years successfully and become champion though this year feels much different than the year before. For one thing, he cashed in on Edge the previous year while this year he cashed in on Hardy which felt even bigger given that Hardy just went through a grueling war to finally defeat Edge to become World Champion, and with the pops for Punk starting to fade a bit it made sense that he would cash in on someone greatly loved like Hardy especially if they plan to turn Punk heel though he played it off very well going into this show. Also, instead of being lost in the shuffle like he was a year ago on RAW, Punk now feels like one of the top guys of Smackdown and this was a feud that was going to be highly anticipated even if they stay with the face/face dynamic though it seemed unlikely they would.

On the 6/12 Smackdown, Punk cut a promo defending his actions at Extreme Rules and said no one complained when he cashed in on Edge a year ago as he promised to bring honor and respect back to the title, and Hardy would come out and said he wouldn’t complain though said Punk didn’t earn the title and he wanted a rematch that night. Edge would come out and said he was first to get a rematch as Hardy knocked him to the floor and gave Punk the Twist of Fate, and Teddy Long announced Hardy and Edge would face off in a match with the winner facing Punk that following week on RAW. In the main event, the match ended in a no contest when Punk got involved as Hardy gave Edge the Twist of Fate and Punk gave Hardy the GTS, and Long would announce that Punk would face both men on RAW in a Triple Threat match. On the 6/15 RAW, Punk defeated Edge and Hardy in a Triple Threat to retain the title as Long announced Punk would face Hardy at the PPV, and on the 6/19 Smackdown Hardy cut a promo as they reviewed what happened at Extreme Rules and RAW that previous Monday. Punk came out and said there was no rule preventing him from cashing in on Hardy and he did what he had to do to win on Monday, and Josh Matthews tried to get the audience to applaud both men though they would cheer Hardy and boo Punk. On the 6/26 Smackdown, Hardy and Rey Mysterio lost a cage match to Edge and Chris Jericho with Punk as the guest referee, and after the match Punk mocked the fans by telling them to cheer for Hardy as he held up the title. This was a pretty solid build for the short amount of time they had as it was clear they were steering Punk towards turning heel and we would see if they did another quick title change or kept the feud going.

Hardy gets a big pop from the crowd while Punk got a mixed reaction from the crowd that was more boos than cheers. The two men lock up to start with Punk backing Hardy into the corner and he gives a clean break, and they lock up again with Hardy hooking a headlock and Punk escapes as he turns it around and hooks a headlock on Hardy. Hardy whips Punk off and Punk knocks him down as he goes behind Hardy who turns it around, and Punk again goes behind Hardy as he works the arm until Hardy goes around Punk and takes him to the mat with the headlock. Punk tries to whip him off only for Hardy to keep the headlock on as Punk struggles to escape before taking Hardy to the mat with a headlock, and Hardy fights to his feet and whips Punk off as Punk knocks him down and Hardy leaps over him. Punk blocks a hiptoss and hoists Hardy onto his shoulders though Hardy escapes with a crucifix for a two count, and Hardy gets a kick in and looks for the Twist of Fate only for Punk to escape and Hardy backdrops him over the top to the floor. He hits a slingshot plancha onto Punk on the floor and rams him into the barricade as he leaps off the steps only to miss a dive as he hits the barricade, and Punk rolls back into the ring as the ref counts Hardy who barely makes it back into the ring before the 10 count. Punk gets a two count on Hardy and he kicks him in the back repeatedly before hooking a submission on, and he drives the elbow into Hardy’s head repeatedly for a two count and then he hits a backbreaker for a two count. He hooks the submission back on Hardy who reaches the rope to force a break and Punk hits a slam on Hardy, and he goes up to the middle rope only to miss the elbow though he recovers first and Hardy avoids a charge in the corner. He hits the Whisper in the Wind on Punk for a two count and hits a trio of clotheslines before hitting an atomic drop, and he trips Punk up and hits a legdrop to the groin before hitting a low dropkick on Punk for a two count. He hits a sitdown front suplex on Punk and goes up top as Punk rolls outside to regroup and Hardy hits a clothesline off the apron, and he throws Punk back into the ring and hits a dropkick to the back that sends Punk into the corner. He attempts the springboard low dropkick only for Punk to catch him on his shoulders though Hardy holds the top rope, and Punk puts him down and gets a kick in as he hits the running knee in the corner and a bulldog for a two count. He kicks at Hardy repeatedly and pounds on him until Hardy ducks a shot and hits the Twist of Fate, and he goes up top only to miss the Swanton as Punk looks for a suplex and Hardy hooks a small package for a two count. Punk kicks Hardy in the head and hoists him onto his shoulders though Hardy slides off as he gets a kick in and hits the Twist of Fate, and he goes up top and hits the Swanton which gets the three and we seemingly have a new champion only for the ref to see Punk had his foot under the rope and the match continues. Hardy argues with the ref as Punk gets to his feet and Hardy looks for the Twist of Fate again, but Punk counters and hoists Hardy onto his shoulders though Hardy escapes with a series of back elbows. Punk appears to have injured his eye as he stalls in the corner and the ref keeps Hardy back until Punk kicks the ref in the back which draws the DQ and Hardy wins the match though Punk retains the title. After the match, Punk takes the title and heads to the back only for Hardy to confront him on the ramp as Punk says he couldn’t see, and Hardy fires up on Punk and throws him back into the ring as he continues to pound on him on the mat. Officials come out and hold Hardy back only for Hardy to again knock Punk to the mat and pound on him, and the officials again hold Hardy back as Punk rolls outside to regroup with another official helping him to the back.

The match itself was pretty good as both men worked hard and put on a solid match that was only hampered by the weird ending. Both men were hitting their stride by this point and they had good chemistry as Punk played it straight for the whole match and it was a pretty clean match, and they had a solid 14 minute match though you could tell that they were clearly setting up for the future and more matches down the line. As I said, the ending was a bit weird as they do the Dusty finish with Hardy seemingly winning the title though Punk’s foot was under the rope, but it was confusing because it was hard to tell that Punk even had his foot under the bottom rope. On top of that, we then have the fairly weak DQ ending as Punk is clearly overselling the eye injury, but if anything it gave Hardy more sympathy as he once again gets screwed and he shows it after the match when he attacks Punk. The crowd was into the match and Punk, but are pissed first with the Dusty finish and then with the DQ ending as they were ready for Hardy to win. Hardy gets the win over Punk by DQ though Punk escapes with the title, but this issue isn’t over yet.

If you thought “Hotrod” Roddy Piper was only worth watching in the WWF, well we’ve got a REALITY CHECK for you pal! Before reaching the heights of national superstardom as the most charismatic villain of the ’80s, Piper was tearing it up in Crockett Country. That era serves host to two signature matches on this edition of Talk’n WCW! First up, we detail how the crafty Saskatchewan Scotsman stacks the deck against a resolute champion in a match “wrestled with purpose” in Mid-Atlantic! Next, the Hot Scot cements his legendary status early in a brutal televised bout from a historic 1983 feud that was “just getting warmed up.” Then, despite flash-forwarding to 1996, it’s a blast from the past for Hollywood Hogan, as WCW gives Piper a shot in the arm in the twilight of his career and Piper gives the fans a rare feel-good moment during the peak of nWo dominance. Even when he isn’t making movies or making moves up North, look no further for proof that sooner or later, everybody pays the Piper. And as Captain Lou Albano would (probably, maybe) say, “He’s-a one-hip wrestler!”

Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)

Disney +

Starring: Alexander Molony; Ever Anderson; Jude Law; Jim Gaffigan

Dir: David Lowery

Writers: David Lowery; Toby Halbrooks; JM Barrie

by Paul Bernardo (paulieb2003@gmail.com)

Alexander Molony is a voice actor for Disney Junior projects. He is also a British theater veteran at such a young age. He has done musicals like South Pacific to MacBeth in the Royal Shakespeare Company. So he is seasoned and knows what he’s doing – but he looks and acts NOTHING like Peter Pan!! This is a major problem – and if you can get passed this huge mistake – this movie still stinks. I mean it’s horrible.

David Lowry has directed The Green Knight (2021) and Pete’s Dragon (2016). The horrible Pete’s Dragon, not the good one that everyone loves. Now, Green Knight I saw in theaters and the production value was just horrible. David does not know how to glorify things or make things look good. Pete’s Dragon looked cheap, Green Knight looked cheap and now Peter Pan is just God Awful.

I don’t want to blame Alexander, because judging by his credentials he obviously can act, but I think maybe the fault is with Lowry. Peter Pan here, has no bravado, is not exciting, is not thrilling, daring, funny, spontaneous, nothing. It is quite disappointing.

Let me tell you who did have fun in this movie – Jude Law as Hook. Jude Law relished this role and made it fun for us to watch him. Jim Gaffigan as Smee is a huge swing and a miss, but we all know how funny Gaffigan can be. So again, I think Lowry just did not know what to do with his material.

Something tells me that this was just a throwaway for Disney. You got Directors and Actors already in house, you got a famous beloved story – send it straight to streaming. Keep it cheap, make it fast and turn a buck. That’s what I think happened here and it shows greatly.

No magical wonder in this film, no fun, and no excitement. It’s like a very cheap, bad British play. The only one who remembered that this was for kids was Jude Law, and I praise him for keeping it fun. If you want to see Peter Pan, watch the cartoon, or watch Hook with Robin Williams. Those are the ones that make the kids and adults smile.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we hack some computers right before we start Pilot Month 2023.

First, in the early 1980s, one of the most popular pieces of electronics was the home computer. (Spoiler: It’s still popular to this day!) In the era of the movies Tron and WarGames came the show Whiz Kids, which may have hit a little too close to home for adults.

Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for! Pilot Month 2023 starts now! Over the next month or so, we will cover 11 pilots. The first pilot is an American adaptation of a popular British game show. Alison Sweeney and a judge from 25 Words or Less take their shot at Pointless.

The Traders continue mining Marvel’s ’80s output on this 5th excursion! What we unearth is not so much a hidden gem as an overlooked curiosity: the pre-teen super-team known as Power Pack! This original and largely self-contained series made in-roads with younger readers even while exploring darker themes and prominent social issues of the day, and ultimately served as a gateway to the wider Marvel Universe through its participation in the decade’s biggest crossover events. In this examination of the first five issues, topics include: the background of the concept along with creators Louise Simonson and June Brigman; an introduction to the central characters; new additions to Marvel’s interstellar alien races; talking space ships; an origin story rather similar to that of another iconic character; weird powers; anti-mutant hysteria; horse grandpas; later appearances of the Power family, and attempted revivals; a dreadful 1991 TV pilot; and plenty more. As for our review of the story itself, well… let’s just say this has proven to be our most DIVISIVE outing yet! Covering Power Pack (vol. 1) #1-5.

April Winners: 42, Evil Dead, and Pain and Gain

We continue on through the year of 2013 and after what ended up being a solid March, we now have to see how these films would end up doing and if we have any momentum going into the summer. Looking at the list of films from this month, there was nothing that looked to be a major breakout film though there were a few films that did good and made it into this category. The first film from this month that makes it into this category is the biographical sports film 42, a film about the early career of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a faithful re-telling of Robinson’s journey, and it would finish with over $95 million and easily took the top spot for the month which I will delve further into later in the recap. The next film from this month that makes it into this category is the horror film Evil Dead, a re-imagining of the 1981 film of a group of five people who come under attack by a supernatural entity at a remote cabin. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a solid remake and it would finish with over $54 million which was a good haul for the horror film, especially coming out in April which isn’t typically a big month for horror. The third and final film from this month that makes it into this category is the action comedy film Pain and Gain, a film loosely based on the Sun Gym gang who are convicted of numerous crimes including murder. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was uneven in parts though praised the performances, and it would finish with over $49 million which was a good haul for the film and got it in the top 5 for the month. The fact that we had 3 films from this month make it into this category is a plus as April usually doesn’t have this many, and we will see going forward if this continues or we go back to only having one or two winners from this month.

April Losers: Oblivion

To this point, April usually doesn’t have many major blockbusters come out as they are typically reserved for the summer starting in May, but it seems like that trend was looking to change with this month as we did have a film that looked to be a surprise hit come out. That film was the sci-fi action film Oblivion, a film about a technician who lives on Earth years after it was ravaged by aliens and he finds a survivor that makes him question the truth about the war. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt the visual effects were great and they praised Tom Cruise’s performance, but they felt parts of the film were clunky and the script was weak. Despite some good expectations, the film would finish with over $89 million which put it at the number two spot for the month and while that would be a great showing for any other film, it was slightly disappointing for this film that was seen as the one to carry the month. It also ends up being the sole loser of the month as it wasn’t a bomb, but it was below what it could’ve and it was another major disappointment for Cruise. Fortunately, it was the only film from this month that makes it into this category and that is another help for the month of April.

The Surprise/Story of April 2013: 42 steps up to bat and hits a home run as it takes the top spot of April 2013

Going into the month of April, there looked like there would be no film that would be a major breakout and it seemed like the month would be in a holding pattern until we hit the month of May. But these films did have some intrigue going in and an interesting note was that there were no films coming out this month that were geared towards families, and with a mix of different genres represented well this month it was going to be interesting to see which ones would do well and which ones would fall flat. In the end, 42 would take the top spot for the month fairly easily even though it just missed hitting the $100 million, and aside from a decent showing from Oblivion the rest of the month was fairly average with nothing doing very well though no films really bombed either. Usually, the month of April is a tepid month between March and May though there are times when it can overdeliver or underdeliver, but in this case it was right on par with what we are used to seeing with the month of April.

Overachiever of April 2013: 42

Going into the month of April, 42 had a lot of eyes on it given that April is the start of the baseball season and there is no question that Jackie Robinson is one of the most influential players in the history of baseball. Being the first African-American players to play in the Major League to the point that the number “42” was retired in 1997 by all teams, there is no question that he is one of those players that deserves to have a film about him and to do it properly. Thankfully, 42 does that well thanks to great performances by Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford, and while the film does take some liberties which is common for biographical films, this film was seen as a faithful telling of Robinson’s early career and breaking the color barrier. Coupled with as mentioned the start of the baseball season and no other film this month that looked too promising, and there is no doubt that 42 deserves to be the overachiever of the month though it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the other overachievers of the year.

Underachiever of April 2013: Scary Movie 5

In 2000, the first Scary Movie came out and was a major success as it is still considered one of the best parody films ever released, and it would spawn a franchise as Scary Movie 2 and 3 also did well and seemed like it would cap off a successful trilogy. However, it ended up continuing with Scary Movie 4 in 2006 and while it did well, it seemed like the spoof genre was lagging a bit given the glut of parody films that were coming out during that time. In any case, we do end up getting yet another Scary Movie this year with Scary Movie 5, a film which sees a couple adopted 3 children who are possessed and they work to free them. The film would be panned by critics who felt the franchise had become stale by that point and with this film being the first to not have either Anna Faris or Regina Hall, it was clear that it needed to be put out of its misery. Coupled with the fact that it would finish with over $32 million which makes it the lowest grossing film in the franchise pretty much all but confirmed the franchise was dead, and as a result this film ends up being the obvious underachiever of the month and brings a sad end to what was one of the better parody franchises in history.

April 2013 Awards Watch: Scary Movie 5

We are now into the new awards season and April typically is pretty hit or miss with award contenders, and we can have only one or two films make it into this category though there are times when we do get a bunch of films that can make it into this category. This year, we only have one film that makes it into this category which was Scary Movie 5, and it would be nominated for 3 Golden Raspberry Awards (Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Screen Combo, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel) though it wouldn’t win any of them. This was a case where the films released this month weren’t really award contenders and we will see how the summer does in terms of the contenders.

Overall Thoughts of April 2013:

Overall, the month of April 2013 was a fairly tepid month that did have one good success in 42, but the rest of the month was pretty dull coming off a solid March and it was clear everyone was looking forward to the month of May. While this April was a step up from last year, it still was pretty low in terms of Aprils of the past and it might be one of the dullest we’ve seen to this point. As mentioned, we didn’t have any film from this month break the $100 million mark though 42 did come close, and the rest of the films from this month did fine though nothing broke out while nothing was a major bomb either. 2013 has been an interesting year to this point and while May 2013 didn’t have anything highly anticipated like the Avengers last year, there were some high expectations going into this summer. As for the month of April 2013, it was a below average month and now it’s up to May to regain some momentum.

Goodbye Tucker Carlson!

by Paulieb2003@gmail.com

Tucker Carlson and FOX NEWS “agreed to part ways” on April 21, 2023. Tucker was a host for the network since 2016 and was the highest rated cable news program for the 8pm weekday hour.

Fox News Tonight with Brian Kilmeade took his place for that hour and still managed to win the time slot, once again. Although the network did lose about a million viewers, their 2.6 million loyal fans were enough to beat out the competition.

Joe Scarborough Presents on MSNBC had 1.5 million, and Anderson Cooper at CNN had a low 728,000 viewers. Makes you wonder why they even pick the guy to do the New Years Eve thing.

Where did all those viewers go then? If not to MSNBC and CNN, then where? Newsmax. It seems when FOX is not to their liking, this crowd will jump there. Newsmax tripled their audience since Tucker left – going from 145,000 viewers to 540,000 viewers for Monday at 8pm. So it seems that audience will never shift sides, just find another hole to crawl through.

Will Tucker go to Newsmax? That’s what seems to make the most sense here. They seem to have the same audience and same opinions.

Tucker’s show regularly drew over 3 million viewers every night. As you can see from above, that is far and away the biggest audience for a nightly cable news program. Poor Anderson Cooper can’t even reach one million.

Tucker is now the only show host to be fired from 3 major news cable networks, MSNBC, FOX and CNN. So I doubt he will return to one of those. Most likely Newsmax makes the most sense for him. It’s his demographic, it’s his kind of viewers and they could really need the help.

Carlson and FOX parted ways after the huge settlement FOX had with Dominion, the voting machine company whom the network slandered on the air many times. Now did the settlement have anything to do with the departure? Well no one knows for sure – but there are more lawsuits on the horizon and perhaps firing Tucker would help lessen the blows of those settlements. After all, they can always bring him back. He wasn’t banned or anything, just fired.

We shall see. Any thoughts on the matter? Email me and I’ll post it here. See ya next Thursday!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re Shaqtin’ a fool while going places at the top of the heap.

First, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: “Write what you know.” Two Hollywood writers did that & after that didn’t work, they turned it into a family sitcom. That didn’t work either. See what happens when four actors spend 19 weeks… “Going Places”.

Next, spin off your network’s most popular show? Makes sense. Spin off your network’s most popular show with characters who have made only a few appearances, and they weren’t memorable? It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Top of the Heap was the bottom of the barrel material.

Finally, In the past, we have paid respects to Hulk Hogan commercials, Ric Flair commercials, and our annual favorite of hometown commercials. We add another legend to the commercial family with Shaq commercials. Grab your Reeboks and a Pepsi, and prepare for almost 30 years of ads featuring Shaq Diesel.

CM Punk vs. Umaga in a Samoan Strap Match

We continue on through the year of 2009 as we hit the summer and going into this show, this random feud between Punk and Umaga continued on after Umaga got the surprising clean win back at Judgment Day. Obviously with Punk losing at the last PPV, you figured that he was due to get his win back against Umaga and it was also interesting with the stipulation that they picked for this show with the Samoan Strap match even though it was pretty much just a normal strap match called Samoan to seemingly give Umaga an edge. Given that this match did have a stipulation on it, you figured that Punk was going to win to bring an end to this feud though the question after this would be how much longer would it be until he cashed in his MITB contract as he did it around this time last year. On the flip side, if this was the end of the feud, you did wonder where Umaga would go after this if he would move up the card as a title contender or if he will be a fixture in the midcard as a gatekeeper heel for faces to move up.

On the 5/22 Smackdown, Punk defeated Chris Jericho by DQ when Umaga attacked him with a strap and he would speak for the first time as he challenged Punk to a strap match at the PPV, and on the 5/29 Smackdown Umaga lost a match to John Morrison by DQ when he assaulted him with the strap until Punk made the save and he hit Umaga with the briefcase twice before cutting a promo on the PPV. On the 6/5 Smackdown, Punk defeated Umaga clean in a straight match to build momentum for this match, and it was a bit strange they had Punk beat Umaga 2 nights before the PPV though now this in essence makes this match the rubber match and you figured for sure this would be the end of the feud.

Punk gets a big pop from the crowd while Umaga had solid heat as a heel, and the match would work like a normal strap match where the first man to touch all four corners in succession would win. The two men jockey for position with the strap to start as Umaga pulls Punk into him and Punk pounds on him, but Umaga shoves him away as Punk gets a kick and pounds on Umaga who shoves him into the corner. Punk catches him with a back elbow only for Umaga to hit a back elbow and he touches two buckles until Punk hits the running knee in the corner, but Umaga shoves him off a bulldog attempt only to miss a diving headbutt and Punk kicks at him twice before touching two buckles. Umaga uses the strap to whip Punk into the corner and he hits a Samoan drop as he whips Punk with the strap, and he kicks Punk to the mat and continues to whip him with the strap as he hits a headbutt and a jumping headbutt on Punk. Umaga rolls outside and drags Punk to the corner by the strap as he pulls him into the post and he rams the arm into the steps twice, and he hoists Punk up for a suplex and drops him on the top rope as he hits a superkick that knocks Punk to the floor. He touches two buckles as he drags Punk onto the apron only for Punk to get a kick in and he hits a springboard clothesline, and he tries to hoist Umaga onto his shoulders only for Umaga to slide off and he hits a spin kick on Punk. Punk avoids a charge in the corner as Umaga hits the post and Punk crotches him with the strap as Umaga rolls outside to regroup, and Punk uses the strap to pull Umaga into the post as Umaga rolls back into the ring and Punk hits a second running knee in the corner. He hits the running bulldog on Umaga and touches three buckles only for Umaga to pull him into a spinning slam, and he touches three buckles though Punk holds the ropes to prevent Umaga from touching the fourth and he pulls the top rope down as Umaga tumbles over the top to the floor. Punk touches three buckles only for Umaga to pull him to the mat and he knocks Punk down before going up top, but Punk uses the strap to slam Umaga to the mat and he touches three buckles as Umaga tries to keep him away from the fourth. He looks for the Samoan Spike only for Punk to hoist him on his shoulders and he hits the Go 2 Sleep before hitting the fourth buckle to win the match.

However, Punk’s night is not over as at the end of the night, Jeff Hardy would defeat Edge in a ladder match to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, and Jim Ross would attempt to interview Hardy only for Punk to come out and announce he is cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase. The match begins as Punk hoists Hardy onto his shoulders and hits the Go 2 Sleep though only gets two as Hardy nearly surprises him with a small package for a two count, and Hardy fights to his feet only for Punk to kick him in the head as he hoists him up and hits a second Go 2 Sleep which gets the three and Punk is the new World Heavyweight Champion to close out the show in a shocker.

The match itself was pretty good as both men worked hard and put on a solid strap match. These two men showed that they still had good chemistry though it didn’t seem like they used the strap to its fullest advantage at points, and they did play up the story well of whether Punk would be able to get Umaga around to touch the corners. Going in, you figured that Punk would win this match after Umaga won the match last month, but again with Punk winning their match on Smackdown 2 nights ago there was always a chance that Umaga could win though in the end Punk does get the win. But ultimately, this match is in essence forgotten as Punk ends up cashing in his briefcase at the end of the night and becomes World Heavyweight Champion, and that was a unique decision as he cashed in on a heel last year only to cash in on a face this year and we will see how that plays out. The crowd was into the match and popped for Punk when he beat Umaga, but they are left stunned when Punk defeated Hardy and there were even some boos as well. Punk gets the win over Umaga and also ends the night as World Heavyweight Champion, but his issues with Hardy are just getting started.

Final Grade: ***

Originally published on The Jenny Position, this episode of Talk’n Pop is part of the Flash’n Back series right here on NoSo! I will be sharing these intermittently throughout the year to relive some of my favorite shows. Enjoy!

It’s time for another “on the couch” edition of Talk’n Pop as Jenny and Tim have an intimate chat with the man known only as (for public purposes anyway): Cowboy! Pull up a chair while Cowboy regales us with tales on how he entered our immediate circle of friends, the origin of his celebrated nom de guerre, party fouls, and unconventional fan communities. Cowboy has quite the “eclectic” personal history and has emerged from the other side as a rather different person – with plenty to say and no punches pulled about the work it took to get there.

Highlights of our talk include:

– The philosophy of saying yes to everything

– Top five human being Dave Bautista

– Political extremes in reality vs. social media

– Alcoholism and recovery

– Juggalo culture

– Four Loko-fueled rickshaw decisions

– Being ejected from bars in various cities

– Farting on supermarket intercoms

– Feet

As is basically always the case, the conversation took some unplanned and unexpected turns. By the end, we were left with an education… and a lot to consider. We felt closer to our friend through this podcast and hope that you will likewise enjoy getting to know the Cowboy a little better.

Personality Crisis: One Night Only (2023)

on Showtime

Dir: Martin Scorsese & David Tedeschi

Written: David Tedeschi

Starring: David Johansen

by Paul Bernardo paulieb2003@gmail.com

Intercut with a great set by David Johansen at New York’s Cafe Carlyle literally 2 months before Covid shut down Broadway, this documentary shines the light on one of the most influential New York artists in this or any other generation.

David Johansen is now 73 year old. This man has seen it all, and started it all, never got really rich and famous from it, yet still is not bitter about any of it. I consider him and Lou Reed to be the real OG’s of New York art and New York music. These guys started it all in the very early 70’s. They made the punk scene, they made the art scene, they made art galleries popular, they made crack houses popular. I mean they went through it all.

David was a founding member of the most influential New York punk band, The New York Dolls, and Lou Reed was founder of Velvet Underground. The Dolls directly influenced The Ramones, KISS, Aerosmith and many others. The Dolls talked the talked, and they walked the walked. They were gritty, unapologetic and just kicked ass on stage at The Mercer and many other gritty New York clubs. They wore mascara and sweat and feather boas and they were a damn good time that brought in a terrific punk rock era for America. The Dolls were admired by many, though they only made two studio albums. They appeared on tv shows over in England and here in America. For some reason, they never caught on and made it to mainstream, though everyone knew who they were.

The English musician Morrissey was President of their teen fan club. He adored them, and still does. His reasons for them not making it to mainstream were because they wore women’s clothes, had make up like street hookers and called themselves the feminine term, Dolls. With this look and style, what white suburban kid is going say they like them, much less say they heard of them. So to be a fan of the Dolls, in 1972, you had to be as tough as the Dolls. Not many were, but they all jammed to their tunes and saw them in concert everywhere they went.

This doc is great and very revealing and I”ll tell you why. All the interviews are done on David’s property. Either on his couch, lawn chair, garden, backyard, dining table, etc., so he is completely literally at home. And all the interviews are done by his daughter, Leah Hennessey. So you can tell she is actually interested in his past, and of course, what father doesn’t love explaining his past to his kids? Leah brings out his old notebooks, and scrapbooks, and we get the joy of seeing this family go through the past together. It really is wonderful to see. It is honest, and genuine, and Leah is not just reading off questions, she engages in conversation and David is very happy to go through everything with her.

The Cafe Carlyle set is fun. David is in a brilliant suit and in top form. Blondie’s Deborah Harry is in the audience, as is a lot of New York music icons. The set was shot on his birthday, so it feels a little more endearing. The room is small with white tablecloths and candles so it is a warm intimate setting. David talks and tells jokes in between sets and it is truly remarkable the amount of history this man has lived through.

David talks a bit about the guy who sang “Hot Hot Hot”, Buster Poindexter. Who was also the taxi cab driver in the classic Bill Murray Christmas movie “Scrooged”. Buster is his alter ego, and they cover why he was created and what his purpose was. Again, like most things, Buster was a fluke and was never meant to go mainstream. So many wonderfully honest moments from a true punk rock icon who still likes to rattle the cages when he can. This doc is very unique and special. I mean really, it is a family affair. His daughter chats with him at home, and then we get to go to his birthday party. This movie treats you like family, welcomes you with open arms and gives you a good history lesson if you pay attention.

On the 33rd edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Mirandia Berthold, Andy Atherton, and Steve Riddle answer the call of the wild as they discuss the 1999 film, Tarzan. Join the trio as they discuss the importance of Phil Collins to the soundtrack, the motherly love that Kala shows to Tarzan, Tarzan struggling to discover who he really is, Sabor as a scary villain, Disney conspiracy theories, if Jane is a Disney Princess or not, the suave and dubious nature of Clayton, Terk and Tantor as great companions to Tarzan, the quirkiness of Professor Porter, the amazing cinematography of the jungle, Tarzan wanting to impress Kerchak, the intense climax of the film, how this compares to other adaptations of Tarzan, and where it ranks amongst the other Disney films. So join Mirandia, Andy, and Steve as they swing from the vines and surf the branches while bringing an end to the Disney Renaissance.

-Who on the roster at that moment stays/goes? Who is added from other places, even WWF?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we solve crimes with our three ex-wives before we present you with an afterschool special.

First, We’ve talked about this for over 3 years. Now we’re finally talking about the extremely short-lived summer series about a detective and three of his ex-wives solving cases. I Had Three Wives ran for a month before it and CBS went their separate ways.

Then, April 15th marked 76 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. We mark the occasion by watching an afterschool special from 1978 about the bond a young boy makes with an older man over their shared love of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson.

In the forty-second episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston, Scott Grimes & “Cowboy” Roger Morrissette to discuss which NFL #1 Overall Draft Picks deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Peyton Manning (1998) a no-brainer? What about John Elway (1983)? Does Terry Bradshaw (1970) grab a spot? Does Bruce Smith (1985) or Bo Jackson (1986) deserve a place? After that, they discuss which NFL Draft Pick Busts will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Ryan Leaf (1998) shouldn’t get a spot? Will JaMarcus Russell (2007) be included? Is Brian Bosworth (1987) in the conversation? What about Tony Mandarich (1989) & Reggie Bush (2006)?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re pushing daisies and crabs in outer space.

First, Star Trek: Voyager was a success for UPN. So was Moesha. The powers that be thought, “Why not combine the two? It’ll be a hit!” Spoiler: It wasn’t. It did give us The Space Hoopty, for what it’s worth.

Then, for our Easter 2023 episode, we’re not talking about cutesy-wootsy bunnies this year?! We’re talking about someone who can revive the dead. Pushing Daisies was a critical darling but it couldn’t come back from a fate worse than the death of a scripted show in 2008.

Finally, in 1984, the San Francisco Giants needed something to get fans’ attention away from their poor play on the field. Enter the first ever anti-mascot a crustacean mascot which drew heat from not only the fans, but the Giants and the opposing teams as well. It’s all immortalized in one of the best baseball commercials ever.

CM Punk vs. Umaga

We continue on through the spring of 2009 and it seems like Punk is in a major holding pattern as they weren’t ready yet for him to cash in the briefcase so they have to put him in these random feuds to keep him busy. On the flip side, it’s been a long time since we last saw Umaga as he has been out with an injury and any of the momentum that he had seems to be long gone. He still seemed like a guy that could be a solid hand and putting him with Punk was a fine way to get him back into the swing of things, and after losing the feud to Kane last month at Backlash this seemed like the wrong feud to give to Punk as he needed a big win to get back on track and they still obviously saw something in Umaga to put him in this feud.

On the 5/1 Smackdown, Punk defeated Edge in a non-title match and looked to cash in the briefcase only for Umaga to come out of the crowd and attack him before heading back through the crowd, and on the 5/8 Smackdown Punk again defeated Edge in a non-title match only for Umaga to attack him afterwards and give him the Samoan Spike. On the 5/15 Smackdown, Punk came out after Edge’s match with Chris Jericho and tried to cash in the briefcase again only for Umaga to go after him again though Punk hit him with the briefcase and they brawled around the ring. Again, this seemed like a really random feud for Punk to keep him busy for a while and while it was good to see Umaga back, you did have to wonder how much he had left as a potential top guy.

Punk gets a good pop from the crowd while Umaga still had solid heat as a heel, and this was an interesting choice to have open the show. Punk ducks a shot and kicks at Umaga’s leg to start the match as he gets another kick in and pounds on Umaga, but Umaga shoves Punk to the mat only for Punk to avoid the diving headbutt and he kicks at Umaga repeatedly. Umaga gets a knee in and Punk catches him ducking with a kick only for Umaga to catch him on a springboard, and he hits a spinout sidewalk slam on Punk and stomps on him as he pounds on him in the corner. Punk tries to battle back only for Umaga to hit a back elbow and he kicks Punk in the back before whipping him hard into the corners, and he pounds on Punk and hooks a submission on as Punk fights to his feet only for Umaga to hit a headbutt. He keeps the submission on Punk who reaches the rope to force a break and Umaga slams down on Punk’s arm, and he rams the shoulder into the post and hits a snapmare before going back to the submission on Punk. Punk tries to escape with a series of kicks only for Umaga to hit another headbutt and he continues to grind down on Punk, and Punk fights to his feet only for Umaga to get a knee in and he maintains control before tossing Punk to the mat. He drops a knee on Punk for a two count and Punk rolls out to the apron as Umaga pounds on him, and he hits a big foot that knocks Punk off the apron into the barricade and Punk climbs back onto the apron. He gets a shoulder in twice and attempts a slingshot sunset flip though Umaga holds the ropes to block it before sitting down on Punk, and he hits another sitdown splash on Punk only for Punk to block a third one with a pair of boots to the face. Punk attempts a slam and gets Umaga up only for Umaga to fall on top of him for a two count and he goes back to the submission, and Punk fights to his feet and breaks the hold as he pounds on Umaga who catches him with a shot. He goes up to the middle rope only to miss a diving headbutt and Punk fires up on him until Umaga shoves him away, and he charges only for Punk to pull the top rope down as Umaga tumbles over the top to the floor. Punk hits a slingshot plancha onto Umaga on the floor and both men roll back into the ring as Punk kicks at Umaga repeatedly, and he hits a running kneelift and a dropkick on Umaga who reverses a whip into the corner and Punk catches him with a boot to the face. Punk avoids a charge as Umaga hits his head on the post and Punk hits the running knee only for Umaga to shove him off a bulldog attempt, and he splashes Punk in the corner only for Punk to avoid the running hip slam as he goes up to the middle rope and hits a bulldog on Umaga for a two count. Umaga reverses a whip and sends Punk over the top with Punk landing on the apron and he gets a kick in, and he hits a springboard clothesline on Umaga for a two count though he can’t hoist him onto his shoulders as Umaga hits a Samoan drop for a two count. Punk avoids the Samoan Spike and kicks at Umaga repeatedly before hoisting him onto his shoulders though he hurts his back, and Umaga hits a superkick and the running hip slam in the corner on Punk before hitting the Samoan Spike which gets the three and he wins the match.

The match itself was pretty good as both men worked hard and put on a solid match to open the show. Punk was hitting his stride by this point and while he had been gone for quite a bit, Umaga was still really solid in the ring as he looked like he hasn’t missed a step and they meshed well together for the 12 minutes they got. As random as the feud felt, it was a good feud to get Umaga back into the fold and also to give Punk something to do until he cashes in the briefcase, but it was a bit weird that Punk lost clean as that’s now two months in a row that Punk has lost a match that he probably should’ve won. But unlike the match last month with Kane which was clearly a one-off, it seemed like this feud would continue and Punk would have a chance to get his back while keeping Umaga strong. The crowd was into the match and Punk, but are not happy when Umaga wins. Umaga gets the shocking win over Punk though this issue isn’t over yet.

Final Grade: ***1/4

March Winners: The Croods, Olympus Has Fallen, and the Call

We continue on through the year 2013 as we head into March where the first of the big blockbusters of the year come out, and there were a few big films that were released this month and looked to stake their claim in earning a lot of money. While there weren’t as many winners as I thought there would be just based on looking at the numbers at face value, we did have a few big winners that do make it into this category. The first film from this month that makes it into this category is the animated film the Croods, a film about a prehistoric family who search for a new home while the patriarch is threatened by a charismatic inventor. The film would receive positive reviews from critics who felt it was a fine entry from Dreamworks though doesn’t quite reach the heights of their previous franchises, and it would finish with over $187 million which was a major win and opens up the probability of a new franchise being born. The next film from this month that makes it into this category is the action film Olympus Has Fallen, a film about a former Secret Service agent who must save the President from a North Korean militant group who takes over the White House. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was unoriginal though was carried by a strong performance by Gerard Butler, and it would finish with over $98 million which was a huge win for this film and we will see if it impacts another film coming out later this year with a similar premises. The third and final film from this month that makes it into this category is the crime thriller film the Call, a film about a 9-1-1 operator who attempts to help a teenager girl who was kidnapped by a serial killer. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a fine thriller that was hampered by a poor ending, and it would finish with over $51 million which makes it the most successful film for WWE Studios though the bar was pretty low to begin with. Even though it does seem like a bit of a disappointment that there were only 3 films that made it into this category, these 3 films did very well and helped carry the month above the previous two months.

March Losers: Jack the Giant Slayer

This category is always an interesting one as when it comes to the month of March, we can have either a few or even no films that make it into this category though there are times where we could have numerous films make it. This is one of those occasions where it is the latter as we only have one film from this month that makes it into this category though it could be one of the bigger bombs of the year. That film that makes it into this category is the fantasy adventure film Jack the Giant Slayer, loosely based on “Jack and the Beanstalk” where Jack must save a princess from a race of giants. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt it was a unique re-telling of the classic story that was weighed down by its special effects, and it would finish with just over $65 million which was just enough to put it in the top 5, but it was still one of the bigger bombs of the year. While there was only one film that made it into this category, the fact that it was such a bomb doesn’t help the month out and keeps it from getting a bit higher than it could’ve potentially gotten.

The Surprise/Story of March 2013: Audiences return to the Magical Land of Oz as “Oz: The Great and Powerful” takes the top spot of March 2013

Going into the month of March, there were a few films coming out this month that had potential to be major blockbusters and at the top of the list was the fantasy film Oz: The Great and Powerful, loosely based on the “Oz” novels which sees a struggling magician named Oscar Diggs travel to the Land of Oz as he looks to resolve the conflict between 3 witches. The film would receive mixed reviews from critics who felt that while it was visually stunning, it lacked the same heart that “The Wizard of Oz” had though they did praise the performances of James Franco and Mila Kunis. The film would end up finishing with over $234 million which was a major win for the film and it easily took the top spot of the month, and coupled with strong performances by the Croods and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and the month of March had some good successes and brought some much needed juice to the box office for 2013.

Overachiever of March 2013: Olympus Has Fallen

Going into the month of March, most of the focus was on the major films like Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Croods, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation and how well they would end up doing, and the remaining films from this month had either modest to low expectations. On paper, Olympus Has Fallen looked like another generic action film especially given the reviews it was getting, and similar to the situation with Armageddon and Deep Impact back in 1998, there was another film with a similar premises coming out in the summer called White House Down that looked like a far bigger film than Olympus. However, Olympus ended up being good counterprogramming to the bigger films that came out this month and came just shy of hitting the $100 million which was a major feat for this film, and despite the mixed reviews from critics the mainstream audience liked what they saw and did prop it up against some of the other smaller films that came out this month. As a result, it wouldn’t be that much of a surprise if a new action franchise is born out of the success of this film, and because of that, there is no question that the film deserves to be the overachiever of the month and has a good chance to be a contender for overachiever of the year.

Underachiever of March 2013: The Host

As we have seen the last couple of years, there always seems to be the need for the next big YA film to fill the void that is left behind by other franchises wrapping up, and at this point Harry Potter ended about a year and a half ago while Twilight finished up back in November of 2012. Even though the Hunger Games launched successfully one year ago, there was a need to have another one and after a few YA films released this year have failed, the next big one that had high expectations was the romance sci-fi film the Host, based on the novel of the same name of a group of aliens who take over the human race and one girl’s consciousness battles back against the “Soul”. Coming from the mind of Stephanie Meyer who struck gold with the “Twilight” series, it seemed like this film could be the one to be the next big hit especially after getting a prime trailer spot before the Hunger Games a year ago, and despite the negative reviews from critics there was a feeling it could still do well much like the Twilight series. However, that did not come to fruition as the film ended up finishing with over $26 million which was a major disappointment as it didn’t even debut in the top 5 of its opening weekend and it wouldn’t fare much better after that especially against the bigger films released during the month. As a result, there is no question that this film deserves to be the underachiever of the month and we continue the search to find the next big YA film adaptation to fill the void left behind.

March 2013 Awards Watch: The Croods, Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, and the Call

As we get to this month, the previous award season has officially ended and now we kick off the new award season as we see which films manage to make it into this category. March is usually a hit-or-miss month in terms of the number of award contenders that come out, and this March ends up having a decent amount of films that do end up making it into this category. The first film from this month that makes it into this category is the Croods which was nominated for 1 Academy Award (Best Animated Film) which it wouldn’t win, and it was also nominated for one Golden Globe Award (Best Animated Film) which it wouldn’t win and it was a good nod for the film to get the nomination though it was a case of bad timing which we’ll discuss later in the year. The next film that makes it into this category is the romantic drama film Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, based on the play of the same name about a married woman who becomes tempted by a billionaire. The film would receive negative reviews from critics and finished with over $51 million, and it would win one Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Supporting Actress) while being nominated for one more (Worst Director). The third and final film from this month that makes it into this category is the Call which was nominated for one Golden Raspberry Award (Worst Actress), but it wouldn’t win and it is fairly obvious that the month of March had a few more films that were not well-regarded as opposed to ones that were.

Overall Thoughts of March 2013:

Overall, the month of March 2013 was a pretty solid month that saw a good amount of successes, but it does feel like the month was held back a bit and didn’t hit the full potential that it had. As I mentioned, March is usually when the first big blockbusters of the year come out and while the blockbusters that came out this month did well, the rest of the films that weren’t blockbusters had a mixed range of success to failure. We did have three films this month make over $100 million with one making well over $200 million which you don’t see a lot of in March, and the rest of the films ranged from very good to below average with at least one major bomb. 2013 has been an interesting year for the box office as it started on a bit of a weak note, but it did definitely pick up thanks to this month and we will see how the next month does right before we get to the summer. As for the month of March 2013, it is a solid month that is so far easily the best of 2013 though was a bit of a step down from 2012.

Final Grade: B-

We’ve reached rarified air in the GWWE Revisited countdown.Every wrestler in this group except for Bruno Sammartino appeared on all 33 ballots. What should come as no surprise is Roman Reigns climbs the highest in this group, as he finished #40 in 2017, but voters acknowledged the Tribal Chief in this voting. Chris Jericho fell five spots from 2017, the biggest tumble in this group. Three wrestlers in this group received #1 votes (Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Bruno Sammartino.) Bruno was redeemed from the shame of having one voter not name him by receiving the most #1 votes in this group with four, lifting Bruno to a nice finish two spots higher than 2017.

Lucky Hank (2023)

Created by: Paul Lieberstein; Aaron Zelman

Starring: Bob Odenkirk; Arthur Keng; Haig Sutherland

Airing on AMC

by paulieb2003@gmail.com

So here is what we are dealing with here.

Paul Lieberstein produced The Office, Bernie Mac Show, Drew Carey Show and King of The Hill.

Aaron Zelman helped produce Law & Order, Criminal Minds and Silicon Valley.

Lucky Hank also has some heavy duty help from the legendary Peter Farrelly who directed some episodes here and I’m sure has some input. Peter did Shallow Hal, Me Myself and Irene, Dumb and Dumber, Green Book – I mean he is the best of the best. Bob Odenkirk is no slouch either – so you know this is top notch stuff.

These guys are all master storytellers having full control on a basic network tv channel. I am sure AMC would have said yes to anything Bob Odenkirk wanted to do after the immense success of Better Call Saul.

Lucky Hank is about an English professor at a very mediocre college. In fact, he is the Chairman of the English department, and not by choice. Hank was voted out of the chair position, got his wife to agree to think about moving to another city and starting over. Then through massive dysfunctionality, as is the case in most workplaces, he was voted back into the chair position. Hank told his wife to forget it and that they were staying put for at least another 3 years until his position is up for grabs again.

Hank Devereaux Jr, is an English professor and writer who has a legendary father in the field. Hank Devereaux Sr has not talked to his son in 15 years, and Hank Jr believes his father’s success is the only reason why he has a job and the only reason why his book was ever published. So Hank Jr, has a bit of a self-esteem problem. He thinks he’s not good enough to hold any job in his field, and on top of that – his daughter keeps hitting him up for money and she is dating a complete moron of a boyfriend which Hank Jr absolutely can not stand. So there’s that.

The dysfunctionality of the college is subtle and brilliant. Teachers teach against each other, have their favorite students who spy on other teachers for them and of course, they are all holding grudges for reasons they can not remember. If you remember your workplace before Covid – you recognize this.

Hank has friends, business colleagues, a loving understanding wife who also has a career and a daughter who has moved out and trying to find a life of her own, while still asking for help as often as she can.

So Hank is handling his midlife crisis before us, and it is subtle humor about what you should have done, what you actually have done and what your parents had to do with it, or not had to do with it. I am a big fan of Bob Odenkirk, and his past projects, even his movie Nobody, I enjoyed. So I might be biased, but I love this show. It is funny, quirky and rings true. Something only masterful storytellers can accomplish, and this show is full of them, in front of and behind the camera.

Join Mirandia and Bianca as they go down the rabbit hole and enter Wonderland! This month’s episode is all about Alice and a few retellings that both of the girls enjoy. Mirandia also addresses how audiobooks make an impact for those who may have trouble with the written word.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV it’s our third annual Lost in Translation week.

First, the concept of home videos shows originated in Japan in the late 1980s and branched out all around the world. In 1992 in Australia, a show aired which used footage deemed too racy or of questionable taste, titled Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos. It didn’t make it through one airing. Fast forward to 2019, where a similar version was tried in America, titled Videos After Dark. At least that ran for the full airing.

Due to language and questionable content, listener discretion is advised.

Then, we continue with Lost in Translation week with a small show whose promotion was equally small and, not surprisingly, whose audiences and ratings were just as small. Small Fortune didn’t last long in the UK, yet it was still imported to the States where its run was equally short.

CM Punk vs. Kane

We were now out of WrestleMania 25 and continue on through the spring of 2009, and CM Punk was on an interesting path as the first man to win the Money in the Bank match two years in a row. In addition to that, he had been drafted over to Smackdown which was a good move as he was not likely to be moved back up to the main event picture on RAW and a change of scenery was good for him as it gave him some fresh matches. On the flip side, Kane was also sent to Smackdown and doesn’t seem like he has much going forward, so having him go after Punk given that he was the last one Punk fended off to win the MITB match made some sense. It would keep Punk busy for a month and also gave Kane something to do, plus they had not feuded before so it was a fresh matchup as well and seemed like it could be an interesting clash of styles between the two.

On the 4/6 RAW, Punk teamed with John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, and Ricky Steamboat to defeat Kane, Edge, Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho, and the Big Show in a 10-man tag match, and on the 4/13 RAW both Punk and Kane were drafted to Smackdown. On the 4/20 RAW, Punk defeated Kane in a match and on the 4/23 Superstars, Kane teamed with Show to defeat Punk and Mysterio in a tag match as it was announced Punk and Kane would face off in a rematch at Backlash. On the 4/24 Smackdown, Kane and Matt Hardy defeated Punk and Jeff Hardy in a tag match, and the build for this match has been fairly basic though you figured they would still be able to deliver a solid match at worst.

Punk gets a good pop from the crowd while Kane had solid heat as a heel. The two men square off to start as Punk gets a pair of kicks in and avoids a shot before pounding on Kane in the corner, and Kane backs Punk into the corner and gets a knee in before pounding on him and he whips him hard into the corner. Punk catches him with a boot to the face and goes up to the middle rope as he grabs the arm and hooks a submission on the ropes, and he releases the hold and goes up top as he drives the knee into Kane’s shoulder and kicks at it twice. He pounds on Kane who shoves him back and Punk hits a dropkick that sends Kane through the ropes to the floor, and he attempts a slingshot plancha only for Kane to catch him coming in as he grabs him by the throat and attempts a chokeslam only for Punk to grab the ropes to block it. He gets on the apron and breaks Kane’s grip as he kicks at him and hits a clothesline off the apron, and both men roll back into the ring and Punk stomps on the arm as he hooks a submission on and rams the knee into him twice. He kicks at Kane twice and Kane reverses a whip into the corner as he sends Punk back first into the post, and he hits a baseball slide that drives Punk’s back into the post and he falls to the floor as Kane rolls outside as well. He rams Punk’s back into the corner again and throws him back into the ring for a two count as he hooks a body scissors on, and Punk hits a series of back elbows to the arm to break the hold and Kane avoids the running knee in the corner only for Punk to catch him with a back elbow. Kane hits a clothesline for a two count and stomps on Punk in the corner before pounding on him, and he hits a backbreaker on Punk and hooks another submission on as Punk pounds on the arm again to break the hold. Kane stomps on Punk who catches him ducking with a kick only for Kane to grab him by the throat though Punk counters the Chokeslam with an armbreaker, and he kicks at Kane’s legs and pounds on him until Kane rams him into the corner only for Punk to avoid a charge as he hooks a modified Tarantula on Kane. He releases the hold and hits a springboard clothesline to the back of Kane’s head only for Kane to hit a big boot, and he goes up top only for Punk to catch him with an enzurgiri and Kane gets crotched on the top rope. Punk puts Kane on his shoulders though he can’t keep him up due to his back and he hits the running knee in the corner, and he hits a running bulldog on Kane for a two count and rolls out to the apron only for Kane to catch him coming in with an uppercut for a two count. Punk escapes a tilt-a-whirl and takes Kane to the mat as he hooks an armbar on though Kane fights to his feet and hits a sidewalk slam for a two count, and he looks for the Chokeslam only for Punk to catch him with a kick to the head and he kicks at him repeatedly. He pounds on Kane who blocks a kick and grabs Punk by the throat before hitting the Chokeslam which gets the three and he wins the match.

The match itself was pretty good as both men worked hard and put on a pretty solid match. Punk was really starting to hit his stride by this point while Kane could still put on good matches when put with the right guy, and despite the lack of a real feud between the two, they were still able to go out and put on a good match. As I said earlier, given who was involved you expected a solid match at worst and that’s pretty much what we got as it just went under 10 minutes which was a good length and they had some pretty good chemistry. The only thing that puzzled me was why Kane won the match clean considering Punk was Mr. MITB and this seemed like a good opportunity to keep him strong going into his eventual cash-in, but for some reason they had him job here to Kane who was really going nowhere at this point and it didn’t make much sense. The crowd was into the match and Punk, but they are not happy when Kane won though he did get a few cheers to be fair. Kane gets the surprisingly clean win over Punk and both men move on.

Final Grade: ***

In the second episode of Play While you Listen, host Scott Shifflett and his guest Justin Shifflett go over Justin’s history of gaming, name their top five games all-time, and talk about what they are playing right now. Then they also go over the biggest news of the month in the video game industry, such as Lance Reddick passing and the delay of Justice League and starfield release date. And then conclude the episode by going over the new releases that are coming out in April.

Among the topics the guys discuss are: the building hard-hitting feud between Ilja Dragunov & JD McDonough; the ongoing saga of the Brooks Jensen & Kiana James romance; the insertion of Tyler Bate into the Chase U. – Schism feud; the fallout from the breakup of Toxic Attraction; Pretty Deadly’s continued attempts to stay in the tag title picture; Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre’s increasing momentum towards the women’s tag titles; Tatum Paxley’s long-teased heel turn; the excitement of Wes Lee’s open challenges for the North American Title; the show of respect between Carmelo Hayes & Bron Breakker as they build towards their NXT Title match at Stand & Deliver & Roxanne Perez’s “injury” that lead her to vacate the NXT Women’s Title and what the future for that championship will be.

Welcome back to the reveal of the Greatest WWE Wrestler Ever. As you’d expect as we climb higher on the list, more wrestlers appeared on every ballot, including Rey Mysterio, Triple H, Eddie Guerrero and Andre the Giant. This project seems to have far more wrestlers appearing on every ballot than previous projects covering wrestlers or matches. Many of the wrestlers in this round appear very near where they finished in 2017, which makes sense as we get closer to the top. Exceptions would include the Ultimate Warrior who climbed 14 spots from his finish in 2017, Randy Orton who jumped 17 spots and CM Punk who fell 8 spots. Interestingly, Daniel Bryan finished in the same #17 spot that he finished at in 2017 despite his return to the ring in 2018 and his second run. Let’s get to it.

Originally published on The Jenny Position, this episode of Talk’n Pop is part of the Flash’n Back series right here on NoSo! I will be sharing these intermittently throughout the year to relive some of my favorite shows. Enjoy!

Last time, we reset, but now the hotseat is BACK: it’s the return of the Talk’n Pop interview! Cultured sophisticates Jenny and Tim boldly welcome noted thespian and celebrated playwright Aaron George to the show as a true bucket list guest. And no quarter was asked, no quarter given for the Quebecois superstar who divulges all! While our discussion is centered on Aaron’s… shall-we-say, dramatic vocation, it proves to be a whirlwind journey in true TnP fashion. To no great surprise, we also landed squarely in some existential musings, exploring the supposed nobility of pursuing one’s passions, goal fulfillment, and what comes next when you’ve got a lot of living left and ambition to spare. We were positively delighted to talk all this frou-frou bullshit with our friend Aaron and proud to share that conversation with you!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we teach you many life lessons in this very special compilation.

First, three years after the end of Full House and nearing the end of the original TGIF lineup, ABC brought back The Olsen Twins as tweens in this one-season vehicle, whose legacy lasted well beyond its one year.

Then, did you ever notice some people have some shows essentially omitted from their resumes? We had never heard about Charles Nelson Reilly on Uncle Croc’s Block until Mike went down a rabbit hole one night. And after seeing this and its associated cartoons, you can’t blame CNR from forgetting this misstep.

Finally, we watch a very special episode that we have referred to on and off throughout the podcast. Find out why drugs are bad when Robbie gets hooked on thornoids on Dinosaurs. Remember you can’t say steroids Friday nights on ABC in 1993.

In the forty-first episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston to discuss which Underrated Songs deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “What It Takes” by Aerosmith a no-brainer? What about “Wheel In The Sky” by Journey? Does “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits grab a spot? Does “Never Say Goodbye” by Bon Jovi or “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Overrated Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “Fly Away” by Lenny Kravitz shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Stairway To Heaven” by Led Zeppelin be included? Is “Paradise City” by Guns’n’Roses in the conversation? What about “Imagine” by John Lennon & “What I Got” by Sublime?

Oscar Winners 2023

by paulieb2003@gmail.com

So let’s state the obvious, there were no slaps or assaults on comics or anyone else. So that’s good news.

Everything, Everywhere All At Once basically swept the major categories. Banshee, Fabelmans, and Tar were shut out. Shame because I really loved Banshee. I know it wasn’t a widespread love affair, so I get it. Most females hated it because it made no sense to them and a guy chops his fingers off. So that left half the voters out right there. Still a fantastic movie but honestly, this was Brandon Fraser’s moment. It was the right vehicle for him, and the right time for him. The guy is beloved and has done a lifetime of fantastic work. Banshee could have won Best Picture though – I thought it had a real shot at that.

EEAAO swept and it is a very well deserving cast, crew and movie. It is bold, original and has a lot of talent of a forgotten cast. China has always been a big part of Hollywood, behind and in front of the camera, so this is kind of like Hollywood’s big thank you.

So EEAAO wins Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Lead Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Director.

Michelle Yeoh wins Best Actress. She has proven herself to be the most versatile talent in Hollywood for many years. She has excelled in comedy, drama and martial arts films. This was her chance to claim the brass ring and it happened. Very happy for her.

Ke Huy Quan wins Best Male Supporting Actor – Short Round was beloved in Goonies and Temple of Doom – then lost work. I don’t know what happened, but he took jobs of all kinds to stay around the business. I know he was even a stunt coordinator on a film or two. So he really just tried everything, which is weird as he was such a big hit and worked with legends in the business. It was weird to see him hug and smile at the legends of Hollywood who didn’t help him when he was struggling. Well that’s Hollywood I guess. Now this film gave him a stage as an adult, and let’s see what he does with it. Hopefully he’ll get a Short Round series.

Jamie Lee Curtis is crass and outspoken and yearns for attention wherever she goes, especially when she’s not working. Remember all those times when she said she could not get a job, Hollywood was sexist, and discriminated against her age, and all older women? On and on she went about how this business is horrible and hates old women, and just women in general? Well now that she won, everything is okay. I guess she was just kidding. Angela Bassett is class, and is a way bigger talent than Jamie, but the squeaky wheel always gets the grease, right? Angela is too classy to whine and complain like Jamie does. It was sad to see the wrong girl win the big prize.

Best Original Song goes to RRR with “Naatu Naatu” not Nanoo, Nanoo, like from Mork and Mindy. This is interesting because it is America recognizing India, and the force of nature that is Bollywood. Will more of their musicals come over here and be big hits? This certainly makes things easier and probable.

It was very gratifying to see Gaga perform her song from Maverick, and Rihanna perform her song and everyone seemed to think the Oscar was a battle between these two women. Gaga had her people and her producers tell the press there was no way she can perform, she is entranced in her role for Joker 2, and can’t possibly be expected to perform. Well she somehow managed to get out of character, and sing her song to the Academy. Wow, what a trooper she is. A shocking, surprise performance, even though they scheduled her in and she rehearsed it. Gaga was miraculously able to free herself and her schedule at the “last minute” to come and join Hollywood. Gaga knows how to play the game, that’s for sure. Most people would just show up. Gaga made us think like she was doing us a favor by singing her song at the Oscars. This woman is drama personified.

I’m glad the voters went with RRR. Hopefully it humbled those two egomaniacs at least for one night, and opened the door to more international songs being recognized.

Best Actor went to the lovable Brandon Fraser for The Whale. This guy deserves it and had just an astounding career. Everyone loves him and this was a culmination of all his hits, flops. love and laughs that he gave us through the decades.

Spielberg shut out at the Oscars? YES! I told you before his nods were purely political. All of his work buddies told him to make the picture about his life and so it had to be acknowledged by the Academy, because it’s Spielberg and his life! So that just had to be done and was pure formality. This is how powerful Spielberg is. His work gets nominated solely because he did it. This Oscars was a good one. It was peaceful, it acknowledged the global presence of cinema, of good cinema with Bollywood and China getting awards in major categories. I hope this opens the door to more international talent. Ireland being present, India and China, is a very good thing. Maybe this business can grow and get more lead actors rather than having Kevin Hart, Samual L Jackson and Brad Pitt be in every single movie we go and see. As Jack Nicholson said in Burton’s Batman: “Let’s broaden our minds!”

On a special episode of Pop Goes The Classics, Andy Atherton rides solo to do a live watch of 2011’s Cars 2. Originally broadcasted live on Stream Lounge, he gives his thoughts on the casting of Michael Caine as Finn McMissle; spy movie tropes; Spy Hunter the video game; the tribute to Doc Hudson; Tonka Trucks; electric cars; NASCAR vs. Indy Car; eating too much wasabi; Japanese bathrooms; Mater’s Tall Tales; informants; cars that are lemons; the value of dents; downhill race courses; the different settings for the races; voice activation; Mater the case breaker & funny bumper stickers.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we discovered that some originals should not be messed with.

First, hey hey, everybody is familiar with The Monkees, who have entertained people since the late 60s. They had a resurgence in popularity in the mid-to-late 80s, which gave someone the idea to create a new version of the band. The powers that be tried to make fetch happen, but the new version fizzled after 13 episodes.

Then, That 70s Show was getting good ratings, so it was inevitable a spin-off would happen. But that show was less of a spin-off and more of its own separate unrelated entity. That 80s Show was gone as quickly as it arrived. Bummer, dude!

That wraps up this round. Next week, we’ll start with the top 50.

On this episode of Traders of the Lost Arcs, the Basement crew looks at a story from 1981 that would shock those that only know the Marvel Cinematic Universe vs. Comics versions of Hank Pym & Janet Van Dyne, “The Trial of Yellow Jacket.” (Collecting Avengers Vol. 1. #212-213, 217, 224, 227-230. )Topics include; The “slap”, Hank Pym’s inferiority complex and bad choices, Jim Shooter dialogue cringe, the main villain choice of Egghead, Tony Stark and Janet’s love affair while Hank is in jail, chauvinistic Hawkeye, the debut of some now well known MCU characters, did this story change the course of the Ant Man in the movies, the lack of “avenging” and so much more! If you are an MCU fan and have never read the comics or even if you have read the comics, do not miss this one its a shocker!

The Mandalorian S3
Creator: Jon Favreau
Starring: Pedro Pascal; Carl Weathers; Chris Bartlett

by paulieb2003@gmail.com

So The Mandalorian S3 has begun and I could not be more thrilled. Watching this, after only one episode – I am reminded why I fell in love with Star Wars so much.

This series continues to be the only Star Wars project that evokes the spirit of the Star Wars we all fell in love with. Why no other series, cartoon or movie can accomplish this, I have no idea. Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni know, so why doesn’t anyone ask them?

The very first episode we are treated to deep rooted tradition, honor respect and redemption. Mando wants to know how to redeem himself, where and how to be accepted into the order once again.

Then we get action, humor, cute puppets, simple bad guys who want to make trouble in alien make up. I mean this is all in the 1977’s classic. It is fun, it is a western, it is wanting to belong and believe. It is about making a difference – all of this is why the world fell madly in love with Star Wars. Cute critters trying to fix things, robots doing weird things, robots that we need to fix to get our lives back in order. Star Wars is not about rebellion and sticking it to the man like all these newer creations think it is.

It’s about creed, honor, belonging, hope, friendship – all things we cherish as people. Plus some goofy muppets to make us smile while we go through these feelings and some simple battles to keep us entertained.

This series is what the 1977 Star Wars is all about, if you want to smile again like a kid, enjoy this series, I know I am going to.

On a special episode of The Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational Podcast, to mark the completion of reviewing all of the episodes from Season 1 of The Muppet Show, Mirandia Berthold & Andy Atherton do a live watch of The Muppet Movie from 1979. They discuss a wide range of topics, including: the large amount of cameos from some of the biggest stars at the time; the all-time great song, Rainbow Connection; bike riding; the El Sleezo Café; rough crowds; Doc Hopper’s evil plot; learning the meaning of the word probosculate; country fairs; Kermit and Miss Piggy’s love montage; cheap wine; holding on to your hats; frog mind control; patriotism and drive-in movie theaters.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we solve mysteries with a kitty and then chill in a giant mansion with Madame.

First, Detective shows were big in the early 80s, see Cagney & Lacey, Simon & Simon, Magnum P.I., Hill Street Blues, and others. But what if one of them was a witch? Tucker’s Witch tried that. In the end, CBS made it disappear.

Then, it’s time for Mike’s annual Money in the Bank selection. This year, he went with a comedy set around a puppet, her life, and her TV show. Madame’s Place was racy and had big guest stars. But when you’re going up against late night fare like Carson, it won’t end well.

It’s Friday, and you know what that means! Jordan and Andrew are back to talk AEW in the 39th episode of You Know What That Means!

But while they look ahead, they also look back and LIVE WATCH a Dynamite before Revolution 2020, featuring Cody Rhodes in the main event (my how things have changed) and a tag team battle royal for a title shot (my how things have stayed the same)

Along with offering their predictions, they sing the praises of Kommander, SPECULATE about Kenny Omega, continue to begrudgingly enjoy Jeff Jarrett and come to grips with the fact that Ruby Soho still has a job.

All this and more on the 39th episode! Tune in and listen!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we look to find lost loves but not before we got slapped by Mr. Spock.

First, with Valentine’s Day having just passed we’re talking about a real-life finder of lost loves, who became the main character in this drama from 1984-5. The series is loaded with guest stars, which is unsurprising since this was an Aaron Spelling production.

Next, we’ve reached another milestone, with the release of episode 350! The Slap isn’t known for much more than the titular slap, delivered by Spock?! What the hell Zachary Quinto?

Finally, in honor of Presidents’ Day we at It Was a Thing on TV present another example of someone trying to make fetch happen.

When the US Treasury Department launched the new golden dollar coin in the year 2000, they commissioned the father of our country to help promote the new coin along with getting Batman himself Michael Keaton to voice him.

Oscar Nominations 2023

by paulieb2003@gmail.com

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, but you know, holidays and all that. Welcome to February! I heard the groundhog saw something so we might be in for a doozy! But I doubt it. Below are the nominations. Let me just tell you, Spielberg is only in this race because it was about his own personal history. Otherwise, this film is extremely mediocre and should be no where near this list. People literally thing Spielberg invented movies and the things they give him credit for, day in and day out makes my head spin. I swear some people think he invented air. I mean it’s ludicrous.

Anyway – Banshee and Maverick are two movies that should win – they are what movie making is all about. Maverick brought people back into the theaters in a big way – and also showed Hollywood the right way to do a sequel. You don’t just rehash the same story again, you progress the characters and put them in a new story to show what they have learned and how their lives progressed. That is how you do a sequel. Not just the same story with same characters and the same blueprint. I’m glad Tom Cruise is still around to show these punks how it’s done. I weep for the future.

I will give you my favorites and my pics next week – so don’t worry – plenty of more Oscar talk to come!

The Royal Rumble match

We are now into a new year in 2009 and going into the Rumble, CM Punk seemed to be a man without much of a direction. He had quite the 2008 as he was ECW Champion, Mr. Money in the Bank, the World Heavyweight Champion, and a World Tag Team Champion, and now going into this show he had added the Intercontinental Championship to his collection. However, given that he never really got a chance to become World Champion again after having it stripped, he feels like he is at a point where he is fully now in the midcard of RAW and was not in the works to get back to the main event scene. It is unfortunate and now you wonder if possibly a move to Smackdown would be in his best interest as he had done almost all he could on RAW, but we have awhile before we get to that as you just hoped that he would have another good showing in the Rumble like the last two years.

On the 12/15 RAW, Punk and Kofi Kingston lost their rematch to John Morrison and the Miz for the World Tag Titles while William Regal and Layla watched from the entranceway, and on the 12/22 RAW Punk lost a match to Chris Jericho who earned a chance to fight for the World Title at the Rumble. On the 12/29 RAW, Regal cost Punk a match against Cody Rhodes and would give him a running knee after the match, and on the 1/5 RAW Punk received his title shot against Regal and won by DQ when Regal grabbed the ref. On the 1/12 RAW, Punk received a rematch with the stipulation that Regal would lose the title if he was DQ’ed though Punk would end up losing by DQ, and on the 1/19 RAW Punk defeated Regal in a no-DQ match to win the IC Title. The rest of the build was fairly basic across the three shows with the biggest moment coming on the 1/19 RAW when Randy Orton punted Vince McMahon in the head when he attempted to fire him. Obviously, a lot of the focus of the match was going to be on Orton and how he would do, but we will see how Punk ends up performing especially coming off winning the IC Title.

We get the reunion of Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler as they are on the call for the match, and Rey Mysterio starts at #1 to a big pop while John Morrison comes out at #2 to some good heat.

He knocks Punk down and nails several other guys until he catches Punk with a back elbow and pounds on him, and Dibiase pounds on Punk and tries to dump him out though Punk battles back with back elbows and he tries to throw Dibiase out. RVD comes over to help him as the Big Show comes out at #30 and Rhodes nails Punk and RVD to save Dibiase, and everyone waits as Show gets in the ring and shoves Punk to the mat before having a staredown with Taker until Kane gets a shot in. Show pounds on Kane and hits a headbutt until Duggan pounds on him and tries to dump him only for Show to knock him down, and he tosses Duggan over the top and eliminates him as Punk kicks at Taker repeatedly and pounds on him before trying to eliminate him. Taker sends Punk over the top though he hangs on again and Show pounds on Truth before hitting a headbutt, and Punk regroups on the mat as Show presses Truth up before tossing him over the top and eliminating him. Taker tosses Rhodes over the top though he hangs on as Punk pounds on Show who tosses him over the top, but Punk rolls back in and kicks at Show repeatedly until he sends Punk over the top again though Punk again hangs on as he goes up top. He comes down and hits a clothesline on Show who no-sells it and sends Punk over the top again though Punk again hangs on, but then Show hits the knockout punch which finally eliminates Punk as RVD pounds on Orton and Show knocks Kane down. He comes up behind Finlay as they send Knox and Mysterio over the top and eliminate both of them, and Hornswoggle comes out from under the ring and gets in the ring as he stands over Kane who grabs him by the throat. Finlay comes over and Kane grabs him by the throat until Hornswoggle hits a chop block before sliding back outside, and Finlay ducks a shot only for Kane to backdrop him over the top and eliminate him as Show hits a headbutt on RVD. Taker pounds on Legacy in the corner as Kane tries to dump Jericho and RVD rakes Show’s eyes, and Jericho hits the Codebreaker on Kane as RVD hits a springboard kick on Show and Orton tries to eliminate Triple H. Show pounds on RVD in the corner and Orton hits a hanging DDT on Triple H as Taker and Show have another staredown, and Taker pounds on Show until Jericho nails Show from behind as RVD kicks Orton in the head. He goes up top and hits the 5-Star Frog Splash on Orton until Jericho tosses RVD over the top and eliminates him, and Taker hits a headbutt on Jericho who catches him ducking with a kick and he hits the Codebreaker only for Taker to send him over the top and eliminates him. Kane pounds on Orton until Dibiase and Rhodes come up from behind as the three men eliminate Kane, and with only 6 men left everyone regroups in a corner with Legacy coming together while Triple H, Taker, and Show stand alone.

Show pounds on Triple H in the corner as Legacy surround Taker and pound on him in the corner while Triple H battles back on Show, and Show grabs Triple H by the throat and hits the Chokeslam as Orton whips Taker into the corner only for Taker to clothesline Rhodes and Dibiase. He grabs Orton by the throat and hits the chokeslam as he then does the same to Dibiase and Rhodes, and Taker and Show have another staredown as they trade blows with Show taking control and he whips Taker into the corner. Taker catches Show with a boot to the face and ducks a shot before hitting a clothesline on Show and he hits a big boot that sends Show over the top though he hangs on, and Taker pounds on Show as Orton sneaks up behind him only for Taker to counter the RKO by tossing him to the mat. Show grabs Taker and pulls him over the top as both men grab each other’s throats until Show breaks free, and Taker gets a shot in as Orton hits the RKO on Show on the top rope and he falls to the floor and is eliminated. Taker nails Orton and grabs Dibiase and Rhodes by the throats only for Show to pull him to the floor and eliminate him, and Taker ducks a shot and pounds on Show as he sends him over the barricade and they continue to brawl into the crowd. Now with only 4 men left, Legacy stalk Triple H who gives them the crotch chop and they swarm him with Triple H trying to keep his distance, and Orton pounds on Triple H while Dibiase and Rhodes hold him and Triple H crawls to Orton only for Dibiase and Rhodes to grab him. Orton taunts Triple H who blocks the RKO by sending Orton into the corner and Rhodes and Dibiase pound on him, and Dibiase checks on Orton as Triple H catches Rhodes ducking with the facebuster and he hits the spinebuster on Dibiase. He kicks at Rhodes and sets up for the Pedigree as Orton charges and Triple H backdrops him over the top though he lands on the apron, and Triple H hits the Pedigree on Rhodes and eliminates Dibiase before eliminating Rhodes only for Orton to dump him out from behind and eliminate him which means Orton wins the Rumble.

The match itself was great as all 30 men worked hard and put on a really fun Rumble. There were a lot of good stories going into this match and the field itself was pretty strong as there were a good number of guys that had a good shot at winning this. A lot of guys got to have some good runs in the match and there were times that the ring was pretty full, and we had some cool surprises with RVD and Duggan as well as Goldust though he was pretty much back full-time by that point. Props to Morrison and Kane lasting over 15 minutes, Punk lasting over 20 minutes, Jericho, Knox, Finlay, Rhodes, and Taker going over 30 minutes, and Mysterio, Orton and Dibiase for lasting over 40 minutes with Triple H being the Ironman at 50 minutes. We also had a dubious distinction of Marella breaking the record for the shortest time in the Rumble at just 1 second which will probably never get broken. As for Punk, he did have a good showing lasting over 22 minutes and he also got an elimination by dumping Regal to put the final bow on that feud, but for the most part he hung in the background and didn’t do much before being eliminated by Show and this might be his worst showing in a Rumble to this point. The ending was pretty hot too as Triple H nearly survives Legacy only for Orton to eliminate him in the end, and while I did say that there were some good choices to win, it seemed pretty obvious Orton would win especially after what happened with Vince. The crowd was red hot for the whole match though they are not happy when Orton wins. Orton wins the Rumble and is on the Road to Wrestlemania which will have some crazy twists and turns along the way.

Final Grade: ****1/4

It might be hard to close out the year 2022 the way Luka Doncic did, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, will do the podcast version of closing out the year and ringing in the new one. Was Aaron Gordon’s wild dunk on Landry Shamet in overtime the Dunk of the Season so far? Where the panic meter on the Hawks, Bulls, and Timberwolves? When will the Nets lose again? Riche and Adam also talk about expansion cities, historic marks by superstars, and the real “R.O.I.” (Return On Investment) now that the Suns were sold for $4 billion. So suit up and take it out in episode 262 with the NBA-Team!

CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

We now come to the final PPV of 2008 and it has been quite the year for Punk as he started as ECW Champion, won the Money in the Bank, became World Champion, was World Tag Champion, and now has a chance to become Number One Contender for the IC Title. His year has been a rollercoaster ride as he has had a lot of highs, but even as World Champion he was never viewed as the top guy to the point that he ended up having the title stripped from him at Unforgiven and he never really got a shot to become champion again. On the other side, Mysterio has had a solid second half of the year since returning from injury and looks to win one of the few titles that he hasn’t won yet in his WWE career. On paper, this was a pretty low key dream match and these two seemed like they would have good chemistry, and going even further you could see the two having a feud down the line though right now they face off here in a one-off.

On the 11/24 RAW, it was announced that a tournament would be held to determine the Number One Contender to the IC Champion William Regal with the finals taking place at the PPV, and that night Kofi Kingston defeated Kane while Punk defeated Snitsky to advance. On the 12/1 RAW, John Morrison defeated Finlay and Mysterio defeated the Miz to advance and on the 12/8 RAW, Punk defeated Morrison and Mysterio defeated Kingston to advance to the finals, but the night before at a house show Punk and Kingston lost the World Tag Team Championships to Morrison and Miz. This was an interesting final as it could go either way though with Punk now coming in without the tag titles, it may seem like a given that he was going to win though Mysterio winning would’ve made sense too.

Both men get a good pop from the crowd and they are pretty split for the whole match, and William Regal and Layla come out and sit at ringside to watch the match. The two men shake hands to start the match and they lock up with Mysterio working on the arm as he takes Punk to the mat, and Punk escapes with a crucifix for a one count and they lock up with Mysterio hooking a rollup for a one count. They tease a test of strength as Punk goes behind Mysterio and trips him up before hooking a submission on, and he floats over into a front facelock as Mysterio escapes and goes back to the arm before going behind Punk and he hits a drop toehold. He floats over into the front facelock on Punk who escapes and works the arm before hooking a headlock, and he knocks Mysterio down twice for a pair of one counts as Mysterio trips him up for a one count. He trips Punk up again and hooks a rollup for a two count as Punk gets a kick in and Mysterio counters a whip, and Punk slides under Mysterio who hits a drop toehold that sends Punk into the ropes and looks for the 619 only for Punk to hit a pair of armdrags. He hoists Mysterio onto his shoulders and Mysterio escapes with an armdrag though Punk backdrops him over the top to the floor, and Punk hits a slingshot plancha onto Mysterio on the floor and throws him back into the ring for a two count. He hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Mysterio for a two count and hooks a submission on before hooking a rollup for a two count, and he kicks at Mysterio’s leg and whips him into the corner as he catches him on a leap and sends him over the top with Mysterio landing on the apron. Mysterio gets a pair of shoulders in and pounds on Punk before going up top only for Punk to crotch him on the top rope with Mysterio falling into the tree of woe, and he kicks Mysterio in the back twice only for Mysterio to avoid a running knee as Punk hits the corner. Mysterio sets himself on the top rope and hits a moonsault on Punk for a two count as he kicks at his leg, and Punk catches Mysterio ducking by whipping him into the ropes and he hits a powerslam for a two count. Punk hooks another submission on Mysterio who reaches for the ropes only for Punk to transition into another submission, and Mysterio finally reaches the ropes to force a break and ducks a kick attempt as he hits a headscissors takedown into an armbar on Punk. Punk reaches the ropes to force a break and Mysterio goes out to the apron as he gets a shoulder in and he kicks at Punk, and he hits a springboard dropkick that sends Punk to the outside before going up top and he hits a crossbody onto Punk on the floor. He throws Punk back into the ring and hits a springboard seated senton before ducking a shot and he hits a springboard crossbody for a two count, and he leaps onto Punk’s shoulders and hooks a victory roll for a two count as Punk rolls through for a two count. They exchange kicks until Punk catches a kick attempt and shoves Mysterio into the corner only to miss the running knee, and Mysterio charges only for Punk to launch him into the corner and he hits the running knee and bulldog for a two count. Mysterio escapes a suplex attempt and Punk hits a back elbow only for Mysterio to flip him to the mat, and he hooks a rollup for a two count and Punk gets a kick in only for Mysterio to send Punk throat first into the ropes. Punk avoids the 619 and hoists Mysterio onto his shoulders though Mysterio counters the Go 2 Sleep with a hurricanrana, and Punk falls into the ropes and Mysterio hits the 619 only to miss the springboard splash. Mysterio recovers and hooks a crucifix for a two count as he catches Punk with a back elbow and leaps onto his shoulders, but Punk counters a hurricanrana and hits the Go 2 Sleep on Mysterio which gets the three and he wins the match. After the match, Punk helps Mysterio to his feet and they embrace out of respect as Mysterio heads to the back and Punk celebrates while Regal applauds from ringside.

The match itself was really good as both men worked hard and put on a bit of a hidden gem of a match. You knew that we were going to get a good match when these two made it to the finals and as I said, this was a bit of a low key dream match and you hoped that they would be able to mesh well together. Sure enough, they did as they had great chemistry together and the match was perfectly timed at 12 minutes which was just the right amount of time for them, and while it seemed fairly obvious that Punk would win it wasn’t a sure thing as a Mysterio/Regal feud could’ve been fun as well. After having a couple of rough months, this was a big win for Punk to get him back on track while Mysterio was bulletproof and wouldn’t get hurt by the loss, and now the only question was would Punk end up being the one to end Regal’s reign or if he will just be another challenger that falls short. The crowd was hot for the whole match and popped big for Punk when he won. Punk gets the win over Mysterio and is the Number One Contender for the IC Title as he now sets his sights on Regal heading into 2009.

Final Grade: ***3/4

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)

Written & Directed: Martin McDonagh

Starring: Paul Gleason; Colin Farrell; Kerry Condon.

by paulieb2003@gmail.com

Martin McDonagh is a force of nature. The man wrote and directed Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri previous to this film, and I really enjoyed that film too. In fact it won a few Oscars in 2017, including Best Picture. So this guy is no slouch, and let me tell you – as much as I enjoyed Billboards – I enjoyed this film even more.

Billboards brought Oscars to Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand – and I believe Inisherin will bring Oscar nominations to Gleason and Farrell.

A simple movie set on a fictional small island off the coast of Ireland. They are close enough to the mainland to see the bombs explode from the civil war, but far away enough to complain about nothing all day.

This thing is so great because it’s not about the hustle and bustle in life – in fact – it’s about the exact opposite and what we do to create problems in our life. Boring men, their beloved pets and their stupid egos and their own weirdness.

Gleason’s character, a musician, says he will chop off one of his own fingers if Colin’s character talks to him again. Well that’s crazy, right? Just don’t talk to the guy! But it’s a small town, there’s only one pub everyone goes to – and is the guy even serious about cutting his own fingers off?

So this one simple thing becomes a big thing and as usual the female in the scenario, Colin’s sister Chevon, played brilliant by Kerry Condon, is the only one making sense in all this mess.

We all know how stupid guys can be in social situations – well on we go and it’s a wonderful set of characters in this very small simple town, set in 1923.

They all have wonderful Irish brogues, the set pieces are fantastic and the film is simple and gripping, just like the Billboards movie.

You feel like you’re part of the town, the acting is great, the dialogue is sharp and clever, it’s the stupidest of ideas, yet we have to navigate around it somehow. When all you got is your friends on a small simple island – the small things become big things.

If you like Ireland, and great smart, whimsical simple movies that grip ya and don’t let go – this movie is a pleasure to watch.

The acting by both lads is tremendous. Paul Gleason is spot on perfect – but it is Colin Farrell that really brings the goods. His transformation of this poor character who only wants to be loved throughout the movie is simple and powerful. It’s a simple plot mind you – but what happens because of it is not. Such a great relief a picture like this is, in the modern era of super heroes and Avatar and who can make water flow smoothly in CGI. They all forgot the human element in movies – something this film has in spades.

On the forty-fifth episode of Laugh-In Theater, Andy Atherton is joined by Shawn Kidd & Logan Crosland do a live watch of the 1983 comedy, A Christmas Story. The guys discuss the relatability of the story; the movie Kidco; their favorite Christmas movies; bratty kids; snow suits; triple dog dares; bailing on your friends; the sham by Little Orphan Annie; winning major awards; foods that you hated growing up; electrical fire hazards; dealing with bullies; saying the “f” word; selling out your friends; family controversies; no selling The Wicked Witch; present wrapping etiquette; boozy MILFs on Christmas morning & going to Chinese restaurants on holidays. So remember: you’ll shoot your eye out kid.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we take the good and we take the bad from what we got at the slot machine.

First, The Facts of Life is one of NBC’s big hits from the 1980s and a true sitcom classic. But there was a time where not only was it unbelievably different, it was in danger of being canceled after the first four episodes! Join the guys as they talk about the first season and how & why half of the cast were forced out of Eastland Academy.

Then, traditional daytime TV shows were on the decline in the early 1990s, in an era ushered by Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, and Jenny Jones. The Joker’s Wild in 1990 tried to rejuvenate a show which showed its age in the mid-80s, in an era where it was handily beaten by Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! The core of the game drastically changed but kind of reverted to its original format, but it was too late.

Finally, we present the second of our two live shows that we did back in October as Greg and Chico look at the MCU special presentation of Werewolf by Night on Disney+.

Unfortunately, like a certain Lord of the Blackpool Combat Club, Jordan Duncan had to step away from his co-hosting duties for “family time” (which, based on rampant speculation, could be that he got paid more money to reboot Rank and File), but for the third time this year, Steve Wille (COVID-free and Scott-free!) fills in to talk to Andrew Riche about all things All Elite Wrestling! Is it possible that William Regal having the OPTION to get a better gig by bouncing back and forth between AEW and WWE is actually a good sign for professional wrestlers? Why is the biggest ROH fan ever not excited AT ALL about Final Battle this Saturday, and could it be an afternoon delight or a total afterthought?

Then the two talk about Winter Is Coming and the soon-to-be-legendary MJF/Ricky Starks promo on Dynamite before they dive in on the main topic: The AEW Pay-Per-View/Special Event Eliminator (That’s a mouthful!) We determine the greatest ever, the worst ever (ROH is mentioned again), and take some trips down Elite memory lane before we finish off with some random questions!

Don’t Worry Darling (2022)
Dir: Olivia Wilde
Writer: Katie Silberman; Carey Van Dyke (story); Shane Van Dyke (story)
Starring: Florence Pugh; Harry Styles; Chris Pine; Olivia Wilde

By paulieb2003@gmail.com

Katie Silberman was one of the writers on Booksmart, also directed by Olivia Wilde in 2019. Booksmart was released to some acclaim, so I guess Katie is now Olivia’s writer forever.

So this crazy half-baked story comes from the minds of somewhat Hollywood legends: Carey and Shane Van Dyke. These two are the grandchildren of the dearly beloved, legendary Dick Van Dyke, and nephews of the late great Jerry Van Dyke. So I have no doubt Olivia went crazy when she had the chance to work with Hollywood royalty, and that perhaps influenced her in the wrong way, because this story is terrible. Olivia seemed to do everything in this movie for social status. She took bad ideas from the Van Dykes, because they are Van Dykes – then she went ahead and casted her lover at the time, the hotter than lava, Harry Styles. I mean at the time he just sold out 15 concerts at MSG – so he was “it”.

Unfortunately this move, purely for social status, backfired on Olivia as well. Harry Styles is in a movie that is way over his head. In fact – I think this whole movie was phoned in from beginning to end. The only presence that I enjoyed in this film was Chris Pine, and since WW84, he is not on my good side. I adore Florence Pugh, but her performance here seemed a bit over the top and forced, like she wasn’t on the same page as Olivia or they were in some kind of riff and not communicating with each other very well.

The story is half baked and the acting is half baked. I think maybe Olivia was too concerned about something else than making a good movie. This movie really is a radio show, or a play. All of it is dialogue and monologuing. It is just incredible boring, and the painful fact is, this story is The Matrix but for Barbies. Instead of being in a computer program, you are in a Barbie world playing Barbie House. So it takes a brilliant idea from 1999 and feminizes it into women playing house.

So instead of wearing cool clothes the women wear 1950’s house dresses and pearls. Instead of Agents trying to keep order you have men in red jumpsuits (which are never explained). That’s another thing – there are no explanations to any of this. How it’s done, why it’s done, what the rules are, nothing. One person does manage to say, “if a man dies here, he dies in the real world too.” So at least they managed to copy that part and put it in the film.

It seems to me the Van Dyke brothers said, “Let’s do The Matrix, but for women, and they are trapped in a Barbie like world!”. Olivia maybe said “ok, great! I’ll get Katie right on it!” and this horrible thing came out. \

There is nothing here. No layers, no rules, no humor, no excitement, no honesty, no inspiration – I mean nothing. It’s just Chris Pine and Florence spewing out dialogue until the end.

On the forty-fourth episode of Laugh-In Theater, Andy Atherton is joined by James Gruenberg do a live watch of the 2016 comedy, Office Christmas Party. The guys discuss companies going cheap on parties; being guilted into donations; break room politics; expensive cans of soda; street pretzels; bad first dates; breaking wind during meetings; the farty cheese lady; Jennifer Aniston’s post-Friends resume; Jib Jabs; pre-gaming; The Snow Titan; awkward co-worker conversations; ways to prepare salmon; ice block luge; sumo suits; stealing someone’s Cinnabon; annoying Uber drivers; naughty 3-D printers; tasing people; sisterly love; Hacker College; cronuts aka “the bastard pastry” and waking up in weird places. So remember: drinking is medicinal.
