I heard an interview with Doug Jones where he expressed a desire to play a father in a Hallmark movie. He wanted to just wear a nice sweater and not have to do any prosthetic makeup for a change

and they still won’t give the actor any dialogue, even as a different character

There were parts of America in the early 90s where 80s chic wasn’t entirely gone. We were always a few years behind where I grew up. So I don’t consider anything in this episode too be anachronistic for whatever year it takes place.

He revealed his idea of putting Rambo in a different genre years ago when he did an interview/ chat with fans on AICN.

I hope there is a line of dialogue every episode this season about Choni’s Iconic Motorcycle Road Trip Across America. Don’t show it, though. Just let it fuel our imaginations.

Yeah pretty much.

Jacob’s Ladder is already available on there. I watched it last week. I’d never seen it before and thought it was pretty good.

still waiting for them to cast Li’l Ambrose

I liked FP giving Archie advice about how to keep it together inside is head  when behind bars. There was a brief moment where you saw Jug’s face and it felt like he was realizing a strength he didn’t know his father had.

I had a bootleg, too. I think we wore the tape out by the time we were able to get the uncut version on dvd.

Sad. Just learned about Russ Heath passing away earlier this week.

So it’s not going to be available on gaming consoles when it launches? It’s convenient just to have all this kind of stuff through my Xbox One.

Cassidy’s wardrobe in this episode is impeccable.

Deckerheads will never admit Tim paid to get into this film

I’ve only ever read or collected his work for Charlton. I like Charlton Horror, especially the 1970s stuff, where they would let the creators write or draw whatever they wanted. Fantagraphics did some nice editions of Ditko’s Charlton output.

I met Bob Burden at a convention not long before the film’s release. I’d been a massive fan of Flaming Carrot for years and was worried about this movie. I expressed my concerns to him and asked him straight up if it was going to be any good. He was like well, “they had a different take on it” or something along those…

favorite moment might have to be Iris not knowing her Star Trek and the look on Barry’s face

I got heavily into Italian crime years ago. This was way back when you had to rely on gray market dvd-rs and the few official dvds that companies like No Shame (RIP) or Blue Underground put out. Just about anything starring Maurizio Merli is essential.

It’s not too unheard of, though. Maybe Ronnie caught some episodes of Cheers.

The Andrews family opening their home to the Serpents was a classic, feel good Archie Comics moment.
