And Van Helsing will be completely different in style and tone from what Stoker had described. And they'll hint that he's in some sort of sexual relationship with Dracula.

That was the theme of episode 5 - 45 minutes of Kyle MacLachlan pretending to drink out of an obviously empty paper coffee cup.

There is a theme to each episode.

Sure. Psychiatrists and therapists are also in it for the money.

Yup. Travolta plays a character with the same name. That's the only real connection.

I saw Staying Alive when it came out - I was 6, I guess. I was bored out of my mind. I saw it again few years ago, and boy does it stink. Saturday Night Fever is a great flick, though.

Frank Stallone didn't direct Staying Alive. Sylvester did.

Yup, sure have. Thanks for providing an example.

Churchill, FDR, JFK and Einstein.

A betrayal of who she is?

MitM was a whole other beast. His hammy style worked well in a sitcom like that. Drive? Sure, you're right, but his part was so minimal in both time in the movie and words spoken, he didn't have a chance to really do his Cranston thing.

Cranston was obviously brilliant on Breaking Bad… but, honestly, he is a terrible actor otherwise. Anyone see Trumbo? Ooof - that was as bad as it gets.

Who the hell wants a boner lasting 6 hours or more?

Dan does not come up with the acronyms, no. That's why many end with something like "can't think of a clever name here."

I wouldn't rewatch it if I were you. The pilot is great, and many, many parts of the following episodes are good. But the show - even the first season - is wildly uneven. The second season becomes a parody of itself.

I'm 40.

I watched the entire series over a weekend maybe 6 months ago. I don't know which one it was, but the one with Jeremy Irons and Sam Jackson was the best one.

I like Die Hard, too, but these film dissectors try to make so-so action/horror flicks from the 80s into works of art. They're fun, for the most part, but they're not masterstrokes.

Yup. And Who Let the Dogs Out was a hit, Monster Energy Drink is consumed by a lot of people and Donald Trump is the POTUS.

All. of these. . . film breakdowns. . . have the same. . . cadence. And the narrators inflect on. . . words. . . that need no. inflection.
