44 People You Didn't Know Were Siblings Because One or Both of Them Is Not Famous

It's a source of endless frustration that Ira Glass doesn't look how I picture him.

The scene where Cohan comes to see his father on his deathbed is an absolute CRUSHER. Fantastic performance from Cagney. And the songs are infuriatingly catchy. Although I would say this is one of the tiny handful of black and white films that could benefit from modern colourisation techniques. I think I read that…

You had me at Shelby Foote.

It was impossible to hear Norma's pained kiss-off to her asshole husband without thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Wasn't that actually Jimmy Buffet? In any case, it got a laugh from me. Finally, a dinosaur attack reaction that speaks to ME.

I was just clicking through the synopses of some of his films I haven't seen and, wow - he is the rejected second lead in literally all of them. The only time he came up trumps appears to be in 1935's The Healer, where he cures a paraplegic Mickey Rooney AND gets to actually reject one love interest for another…

Oh trust me, I know the Ruth/Connie backstory like the back of my hand, it just seemed too complicated to get into. But they were very firm about the idea that now she could be free because they were in separate forms:

I love Hank, and I think his voiceover talent (and physique) is incredible, BUT you can ALWAYS tell it's him. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it does set him apart from Shearer, who - to my ear, at least - blends seamlessly into his characters.

"Dis yere is Soapy, dis is Hunky, dis is Bim. Say hello, ya joiks!"

Yeah, either character could have been played by Ralph Bellamy.

One thing that stands out about Enid Blyton's work (I only skipped through St Clare's, but I was an avid Malory Towers fan), is that she was obsessed with 'form' (school grade) hierarchy. I remember a passage where a girl who has been held back a year tries to visit her twin sister in the next form's dormitory and is…

Hahaha, I recall that also happened with the French voice cast of Friends. There was some kind of contract dispute (they were earning absolute peanuts considering the show's success), and they ended up ditching three of the six in either season 8 or 9. Just replaced them like it was no biggie, which was ridiculous…

Yes, I haven't seen much of the newer seasons (not particularly through deliberate avoidance, I just tend to catch the ruruns which are usually pre season 16 or so), and when I do catch a more post-2010ish episode, the voice change is VERY noticeable. Apart from the Simpsons themselves, who sound more or less the…

Today's story is about a baseball player. His name was Kirby Kyle, a lean southpaw from Tennessee. He played for the old St. Louis Cardinals. He threw fast, and he had a good curve ball and all the hitters knew it. He was a kid with a great future. But one day, he went hunting. He loved to hunt, just like his father…

Every single time an American mentions a school grade, I automatically remember the end of this episode and think 'Lisa - 2nd grade - 8 years old' and then add or subtract to match the grade with the student's age. This episode has really proved exceptionally useful over the years.

Calling it now - Fassbender.

As a Little Women enthusiast (those books were pretty much to me what the Koran is to a madrassah), this is very exciting. I find it somewhat odd that Di Novi and Swicord are being signed up essentially to reprise the roles they played in the 1994 production, but I can dig it. Small touches in the script convinced me…

The classic era was a weird time for non-European Hispanics in the media. Mexican American stars like Ramon Navorro and Lupe Velez were all the rage during the 30s, usually in romantic pairings with white actors, but their star faded in the 40s, when Hollywood's image of 'glamour' grew narrower. Latin lover and 'spicy…

'Fun fact, in the early 1900's, it was not uncommon for Jews living in high rises in the cities to hire gentiles to press the button for them on the elevator during Shabbat, because it was considered "kindling a fire". '
