I agree. It's an entirely underrated 80s teen picture.

Or Electric Avenue.

When I rewatch it tonight, I'll pay particular attention to this point. Thanks for sharing!

Bless your Grandma.

Dang. I was like, is Jason Lee in this movie? It doesn't look like his sort of vehicle. <click> Nope.

That this honky tonk heaven really makes me feel like hell."
RIP Hag. One of the very best

Well, there's no greater 'wake-n-bake' program in the history of programs than the Joel MST3Ks. Gold standard stuff. And after hearing Allen Havey call Sting, Der Stingle, I've never called him anything else.

Hudsucker Proxy is my favorite Coen brothers movie. When I was sitting there watching Hail Caesar! on the second go round, I was struck by the Carter Burwell score. It was so beautifully reminiscent of the Hud's score, my heart swelled.

Gloria has crashed my 'favorite character' list in a big way.

Thank you for these excellent recaps and commentary, what a fantastic resource for this quasi-binger. I started watching Better Call Saul with its pilot episode and having never seen Breaking Bad was a bit underwhelmed. On a friend's suggestion, I started BB around the airing of the third ep of BCS, hoping to finish…

Bloodline is next for me after finishing a non-stop watching of Breaking Bad. I watched all of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt last Sunday, this show really picked up around ep 5 and finished strong. Also, I'm planning to watch the last ep of season 2 of Broad City for a fourth time tonight.
