I haven't seen this film since its original video release, but from what I recall, this review is spot-on.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, this is one of two films that made me squirm from the sound effects of "disposing of the body," even though the act itself isn't seen. (Matt Dillon's A Kiss before Dying is the other.) …

Those old game shows are also a gold mine of up-and-coming comedians. David Letterman appeared on the Gong Show, and Steve Martin appeared on the Dating Game and Hollywood Squares.

I think my favorite thing about this show is how arbitrary the demons' powers are. There seem to be literally no rules about how they behave (which kind of ports over from the movie series).

Since Lost, serialized TV has become too much of an Easter Egg infested scavenger hunt. Ash v. Evil Dead throws all that out…

Yeah, I keep telling myself "if this doesn't get better…." And it's not.

I logged in to make this same comment. The way Kolchak finally got him turned out to be pretty silly. But up to that point, it's one of the more atmospheric of the episodes. And his actual identity remained a mystery.

When I was a Star Trek obsessed kid, my dad got me the entire series of James Blish's novelizations of the Original Series. At that point, I had not yet seen "Catspaw" in syndication, but Blish's short story version was terrific and quite scary. The actual episode turned out to be a huge disappointment.

Aziz Ansari was also (very briefly) one of the interns until he jumped to Parks and Rec.

They can't use Robin Williams' voice? But who else can pull off those Arsenio Hall references?

I think that also goes to Cameron's use of rear screen projection, which doesn't result in the noticeable matte lines you see in other films of the era.

I can't stand the Director's Cut. All the stuff added back in was superfluous in my opinion.

I certainly liked Short Round a lot more than Willie Scott. I remember being disappointed that Ke Huy Quan was given so little to do in The Goonies.

Still, Aliens is by far the best example of Cameron using his Roger Corman upbringing to his best advantage. I remember reading that he only had enough money to build four Aliens, not including the queen. So that "horde" we see was pure movie magic.

Slight clarification. The movie Starship Troopers wouldn't have existed without Aliens, but the movie Aliens wouldn't have existed without the novel Starship Troopers. The term "bug hunt" comes directly from Heinlein's novel.

As much as I loved Aliens, I remember being upset that it probably precluded ever getting a…

I have a feeling this may turn out to be the key to the whole show. So far, we haven't met anyone that had a close significant other on Earth. That could change, of course. But I'm betting connecting with your chosen soul mate is what gains you entrance into the real "Good Place."

Jason constantly sneaking waffles during the brunch siege was great.

Thanks! That's been driving me nuts for years.

It's funny, when you search The Most Interesting Man in the World on Bing, Jonathan Goldsmith comes up, not that second-rate pretender.

Fun fact: Jonathan Goldsmith was a character actor and extra for years before appearing in the ad campaign, and he appears in an episode of the original Star Trek, "The Corbomite…

Leaving the empty beer bottle on the bookcase was such a Gilfoyle thing to do.

During the Florida newscast, I half expected a quick cutaway to Perd Hapley doing a remote about the puppy drive through. It would have made a perfect parody even better.

Since Disney is rebooting everything, I'm holding out hope for a Middleman movie. Unfortunately, I doubt they'd use the original cast in a big-budget film, but Chris Hemsworth and Ariana Grande would work. (Her Jennifer Lawrence impression on SNL shows she has real comedy chops.)
