Not mentioned here but I’m very excited about the special episode of Screenwipe, called Antiviral Wipe, airing next Thursday.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more comedy from Charlie again. And hopefully a break from Black Mirror means he can appear on Would I Lie to You? whenever that starts recording again.

Wow, an article about Taskmaster. What a delightful surprise! This is probably my favorite task:

Wow, you can really tell from this trailer that all of the singing in this musical is going to be great.

I’d expect nothing less from the likes of Jesse Armstrong and Tony Roche.

Looking forward to watching this. I should mention, however, that that’s not a hairpiece. Cumberbatch did actually shave part of his head.

I’m guessing she never saw the Screenwipe segment on Hannah Montana:

Am I really going to be the first person to say that I’ll be spending all weekend playing that famous Persona crossover game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? I’m basically putting off both Christmas decorating and shopping (which I’m already behind on) and Katamari Reroll (which otherwise would have occupied my weekend).

But when is he bringing back You Have Been Watching?

He’s pretty well-known to be left wing. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild and was one of the actors who balked at having to perform 1776 for Nixon.

I recently finished my full blade New Game + playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. That meant getting all the rare blades and finishing out all of their quests. It was fun but it continues to frustrate me that there are so many people in this world that don’t seem to realize that blades lose their memories when…

Hey - Life with Louie was great show!

Which was also written by Paul Rudnick.

I don’t think there’s that much of a mystery surrounding what happened to Victor Jara. Still, he was a really interesting and amazing man and I hope this means more people will find out who he was. 

I finished the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC, Torna: The Golden Country. Overall, I really enjoyed. The characters are all pretty solid and they do a nice job of adapting the battle system so you still have come variety despite the limited blade selection. I would be really interested in hearing from people who play this …

It would be nice to actually have a version of Project Runway that isn’t 50% dramatic preview pre-commercial break/dramatic recap post-commercial break. Maybe we’d actually get to see them work.

Another great one!  Jonathan Pryce has the kind of resume where you talk to him all day and still only scratch the surface of his career. I was pleasantly surprised to see Curse of the Fatal Death, De-Lovely and Glengarry Glen Ross get a mention. Wish we could have heard from him about Evita, Wolf Hall, and Barbarians…

But it did produce a great opera:

To this day, I can remember clearly hearing about Phil Hartman’s death. I was already a huge NewsRadio fan. When I came home from school that day, the first thing my mother said to me was “That actor from that show you like was killed.” And then I watched the news and just became more horrified then more details I…

Always nice to see Robert Webb on here. Linking this excerpt from the Guardian as usual. Warning: there’s a very good chance that you will cry while reading this.

They’re definitely deserving of recognition. But Gwen Verdon was one of the greatest performers in musical theatre history. I doubt there’s anyone who would be able to do her justice.
