Damn, I had no idea that he'd had a career. Based on the batshit nature of the talking cat movie, I'd assumed he was just some bored millionaire who felt like making a kids movie one day and rounded up all his neighbors to be in it, sorta like any number of classic MST3K fodder.

That anecdote about how Corman casts his movies nowadays is fantastic. I can't blame Eric Roberts for taking him up on the offer.

Yeah, I think Bacon was one the major draws (at least when it came to getting this thing greenlit) and none of the other characters (with the exception of Purefoy's; he's the only one they can't do without) have made enough of an impression for me to believe that they could carry the show, but I can't help but think…

Having seen the first four episode (a regret, but I think I'll stick around for at least the first season, got a feeling Bacon is gonna get Ned Stark-ed), I agree with Todd's assessment, but I think providing some clips would have really helped persuade the commentariat. Just watch the last five minutes of any…
