So they could slip the IHOP into a background?

I just got the worst mental image of Disney actually doing covid-themed park merchandise. Maybe a little picture of Mickey wearing a mask? The whole gang dressed up as doctors and nurses? I would not put it past them to do it.
Apart from his other gifts, he had the most beautiful speaking voice. He could make anything sound profound or meaningful.
I thought Satanic Panic was a much better, well, Satanic panic horror semi-comedy. This one was alright. It certainly gets more fun after the big reveal. Johnson is pretty wooden as the most sympathetic of the guys, though kudos to him for embracing that hairstyle. I think the very end makes no sense whatsoever…
Sad to see regular reviews leaving (and thank you for all of the writing) but this was an unexpectedly lovely episode to go out on - funny, grounded in character, with more of a first or second season pacing to it and genuine questions about what people want out of religion.
I’ve always been more bothered that they kept the guy who tried to assault Lorraine around. Like, I know it’s a cute contrivance to show how George standing up to him altered the future but would you really invite this guy around your kids?
I found Dotty disturbing. She seemed more like a character the Paddy's Pub crew would run into than a normal Brooklyn 99 eccentric.
The rights stuff with Henson creations is complicated but I believe that Fraggle Rock has always been owned by the Jim Henson Company. They took the word "muppet" off some of the home video releases.
Apparently using helium as a cooling agent in a nuclear reactor is an actual scientific theory. The fact that I took the time to Google this during the episode shows how I interested I was in the Homer/Cletus and Marge/Maggie plots. There were a couple of good jokes (I liked Lenny being panicked about having to sit…
I watched one of the Corman Poe movies the other day. I bet a Vincent Price/Hazel Court commentary track would have been delightful.
Yeah, vintage paperback horror has gotten expensive. A lot of it is on ebook formats now but it's not the same.
The funniest entry on this list has to be the Disney wildlife doc The Vanishing Prairie, banned for showing a buffalo giving birth. Truly the sort of prurient, subversive content that will destroy our moral fiber as a nation.
A bunch of horror, basically. Alan Baxter’s short novel The Roo, which started as a joke premise (giant kangaroo terrorizes isolated town) but is a gory treat with a fairly serious undercurrent about domestic abuse in Australia. Joe R. Lansdale’s “Christmas with the Dead,” a strange but fun little zombie story that’s…
All of the performances are good in this movie but Wilkinson is extraordinary at conveying how much is going on underneath the surface.
There are a lot of things I disliked about Batman v. Superman and Justice League but Affleck really wasn’t one of them. He’s fine. He’s clearly trying to play a more jaded, beaten down by life Bruce. The only “movie star” version of Batman that I think totally missed the mark was Clooney and I don’t really blame him.…
New podcast idea: Kevin and Raymond’s Guide to Appropriate Levels of Excitement While Bird Watching.
Oh god no. She’s just trying to distract us so that she can release that giant sea monster she played in Aquaman to destroy the surface world.
Truly in the Corman spirit of "hey, we've got this set for two more days, let's make another movie!"
The show is inconsistent but fun when it hits. If you liked the original movie or Tales from the Crypt, you'll probably enjoy it.
Well, as long as it's a big lawn so that we whippersnappers can socially distance.
