I love Woronov, and totally agree with Hollywood Boulevard - but Stallone (or, alternately, "The Real" Don Steele) is the one who is really giving his all in Death Race 2000.

In Canada you're legally required to eat the red ones last. Those who dare do otherwise are asked quite nicely to try again.

Papa's Delicate Condition and Krystallnacht almost trip over each other!
Get your bets in, gentlemen, because Batman: The Horse isn't waitin'
around for anybody! Nice 'N' Sticky says, "What about me, boys?" Next
up, Stinkfinger. Next to her, If Mandy Patankin Was a Horse comes in.
Bringin' up the rear, Ol' Felcher!…
The Newsroom might be the greatest thing Canadian television has ever produced.
I'm Canadian enough to answer this. A compilation of FRIGHTENSTEIN episodes were actually released on DVD, and I believe old re-runs ran regularly (alliteration!) on YTV throughout the 90s (I recall seeing it when I was home sick from school) and on Space (and maybe Showcase) in the early 2000s.
I actually really love this list, though wish it leaned a bit heavier on contemporary and less well known work. Perhaps just a limitation of the "currently available" label. But I'm equally enjoying the recommendations being made in the comment section - I just love seeing some great work uncovered that I've somehow…
The director of Delicatessen/City of Lost Children/Amélie directing a big-budget Alien sequel written by Joss Whedon should have been a sure thing. Hell, if they announced that TODAY I'd still get excited about it.
Meet The Feebles came before Dead Alive/Braindead (which featured the lawnmower scene mentioned).
It allows me to watch REAL GENIUS and WALK HARD whenever I want. So I can't be TOO anti-Crackle.

The Norm Macdonald video podcast was amazing, and made me love Larry King. There's a particularly tasteless joke that Norm tells that might be the funniest thing I've seen or heard all year long.
On a similar note, I've recently doing a retrospective on another lost 80s HBO anthology series; THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER. It's Canadian as fuck, but the first season features William Shatner, Jeff Goldblum and Peter O'Toole in adaptations by Bradbury of his short stories. It's really quite neat.
It didn't have the radio hits of Empty Glass, but "The Sea Refuses No River", "Somebody Saved Me", "Exquisitely Bored" and "Face Dances Pt. 2" are all pretty terrific - as is "Slit Skirts". And I prefer "I Am an Animal" and the title track on Empty Glass.
The main point is that Townshend continued to do interesting things in his solo albums in the 70s (from his Meher Baba albums through Rough Mix) and in the 80s (Scoop/Another Scoop, All The Best Cowboys, White City). Then the 90s arrived. There are a couple of tracks on Psychoderelict I'll go to the wall for, but the…
Love the "Save it For Later" cover on it.
I like the title track of Too Late The Hero, but the rest of the album is pretty dire. Outside of Whistle Rhymes, I don't much care for Entwistle's solo albums, though his Best-Of covers most of the best from them - like "My Size".
Rough Mix has a lot of great work on it - and Townshend's performances of "Heart to Hang Onto" have always since been done in tribute to Ronnie Lane. A really terrific song.

I think this guy is just a huge jerk. No. I'm kidding. He's great. Justified is awesome. And his father was a Canadian legend. RIP Saturday Night at the Movies.
