I guess the most likely explanation that that Frasier never told Diane about who his father was. But yeah, the family and backstory retcon doesn't really square with the character we saw in Cheers. But I suppose spin-offs are infamous for creating glaring continuity errors. For example, in Homicide: Life on the Street,…

Can we call him "Uncle Blackie"?

It's not his biggest contribution to pop culture, but damn Phil Hartman was terrific in Small Soldiers as the smarmy neighbour guy. And the post-credits memoriam is a gut-punch.

At 42 years, Alan Young wouldn't even hold the record for voicing a cartoon character the longest. I don't know who is, but I know Mel Blanc voiced Daffy Duck for 52 years (1937-1989).

There was also a brief but poignant acknowledgement of Coach's death by Diane when Sam visited her (they were estranged at the time).

I prefer Frasier Crane being the only child offspring of an emotionally-distant scientist and an overly protective, batshit crazy mother. It was the perfect backstory for the character as portrayed in Cheers and I kinda hated how it was bullshitted away when he got his own show.

I could totally see Disney's RoboTrump spewing milky fluids and assaulting women a la Ash in Alien.

Ah, cool. Tagoe was also in The Dogs of War which had another couple of dudes who were in Raiders (Paul Freeman and George Harris).

Hey, yeah. Was Eddie Tagoe the security guard who got a blow-job?

"…the ugliest, most monstrous and horrible dead body that was ever seen, without any form or likeness of humanity… It was a revolting scene to look at that deformed, blackened corpse, prodigiously swelled, and exhaling an infectious smell; his lips and nose were covered with brown drivel, his mouth was opened very…

And the guy who spotted Indy is played by Eddie Tagoe, a.k.a. Chocolate Mousse in Top Secret! and Presuming Ed in Withnail and I. When are we going to get his Random Roles feature?

I love John Williams, but I also admire how Jerry Goldsmith tended to avoid rehashing the same themes when doing sequels. Goldsmith won a frigging Oscar for scoring The Omen but he re-used practically nothing from that score when he did Damien: Omen II . And Poltergeist II's music is largely different from the first…

Screw "The Raiders March," the "Desert Chase" cue is my go-to track from the Raiders score. The whole soundtrack is indeed great. Either Raiders or Empire is my pick for John Williams' best ever score.

Good points, all. I just hope whoever succeeds Trump doesn't launch a campaign of genocide against the Irish.

I think I have that website to thank for making me realise that the onscreen title of 2001: A Space Odyssey is actually 2OO1: A Space Odyssey. The letter O instead of the number 0!

He also co-wrote a bunch of Beach Boys songs with Brian Wilson and was an Olympic ice hockey player! (Okay, so those are all different Roger Christians…)

I can totally see Mike Pence as the Oliver Cromwell in this scenario. The Puritanical fucker.

That's not unlike his campaign strategy. Instead of saying or doing one stupid or offensive thing that would have sunk any other candidate, Trump said and did stupid and offensive things on a daily basis. He couldn't be held to account and hammered for any one thing because by then he had moved onto something else.…

…twice!

When do we get to see The Zod Couple, starring Terence Stamp and Michael Shannon?
