Agreed. I watched it this year for the first time in decades. Absolutely love it.

Seconded: what a STRANGE fucking movie. I haven't seen it over twenty years though, and I'm not sure it's something to revisit.

Oh man. I've been meaning to revisit Fairie Tale Theatre. I repressed all that till recently but all of those tellings are burned in my brain.

I think it was their live-action fare that did it. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Parent Trap and all that.

Poltergeist is fucking PG. Ratings systems have changed a bit, thankfully.

Ooh, good call.

Name…that…Punky!

Yes!

Do it, it's fantastic!
Here's a good gateway for anyone.

I'm with you. This episode felt like a slight dip from the first two. Mostly Skip's last scene bothered me; it felt clunky. As mentioned elsewhere, why wouldn't he just let himself be shot? The behavior all over that scene felt unnatural like the writing was only serving the selected method of murder.

That was just a dream.

I'm an occasional NNF listener and plan on hearing that one. I've heard rumblings about that story. Beverly's an overtly racist character so if that's not understood I can see there being some trouble.

I'm a heterosexual white goy, not their typical audience. My first three relationships were with Jewish girls though. And their mothers.

After a middling advice episode, Ronna and Beverly were back with a guest, Phil Rosenthal, only their second middle-aged straight Jewish male (after Kevin Pollack.)

Phew!

Melodramatic would be "they're the 9/11 of music."

Okay, no, I'm not listening to the last minute of this.

They're the M. Night Shyamalan of music for my generation. So much potential and goodwill are squandered.

God dammit, I just got into Married over the weekend.

That's a presumptuous thing to say, and asking an answering your own question is repulsive.
