Well it is getting better and the list is growing past the usual older, well established actors. There are quite a few (Gil Birmingham and Julia Jones from Wind River are my current favorites but also Martin Sensmeier, Adam Beach, Irene Bedard, Gary Farmer, Tantoo Cardinal, to name a few) used as rotating cast in…

I know what you are saying but I don’t agree. Your eyes see the outside and make the determination; I don’t see him pigeonholed one way or another. Good character actors have an ability to be a Chameleon no matter their appearance or what the role requires. This guy has been working, what, 10-12 years and has done…

Genius as a parody of the Company doc, so well done, but also the flavor of what those style of musicals were like in the past. 

I wish I could say it was one generation or demographic but it happens so often across the board I am surprised when someone tells the truth. I don’t blame the confused mentally ill, elderly or people who have memory issues, etc., but when patients or family play a version of “Daddy Don’t Drink” it really puts them at…

I am a Theater Nerd so a little biased, but Waiting.... was also great. Cate Blanchett not only played it perfectly, I had to keep remembering this was not an actual Doc  (as you probably know, was a send up of Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present) She played it straight which was fascinating to watch but…

As far as their faux Docs go, Co-Op is my favorite, with Mulaney and Killam standouts. I will listen to the Cast Recording now and again—Paula Pell singing “I Gotta Go” is a favorite. A fun quick playlist on Spotify.

For us it is either “I don’t know” or 50 different issues, none of which has to do with the admitting diagnosis. 

He even called him on the fake coughing “You were able to announce all week on your radio program, screaming and yelling—but you only cough here in the courtroom?” Yeah, between the facial expressions and the Judge and Prosecution slamming him again and again, it was a joy to behold and will watch it again just for…

Yeah usually I just have them skip the story! 

I worked as an ICU travel nurse for a decade and did a few months at an assignment in Albuquerque (which I affectionately call “I’ll be quirky”) and had a great time checking out Sopapillas and Rellenos everywhere from Taos to Las Cruces, some excellent finds (and yes, a few duds) and having green chili sauce offered…

It is refreshingly rare when they tell the truth...

Yeah I have several places locally and only one is consistent with the end result. 

I understand, many programs use this method, but would like a little upgraded change of writing style every so often.

As an ICU nurse I’ve actually seen patients start pushing a coughing fit when an MD or RN calls them on something. “You say you never drink but your blood alcohol level at 5am this morning was 347.” *Sputter-Sputter-Cough-Cough—Hold on this is serious! Cough sputter, cough, cough” I’m not saying he isn’t really…

I have some very minor quibbles with the writing—always going back to the well of 20th-21st century jargon/catch phrases, references, musical memories, movies, Pop Culture mentions, even make-up/hairstyle and clothing, as if nothing ever happened or was significant/imitable between now and far in the future. However, I…

The yeast raised Glazed Donut. So many get this wrong. One of the newer places locally just glop thick icing stuff on top—I have a sweet tooth but even my tooth is saying NOPE.

Chile Rellenos for me, from the cheese being nicely melted but not dissipated, to a chile with bite still present, the coating done correctly and evenly but especially the sauce, not too thick or thin, nicely seasoned—4 simple components often not in place or poorly executed tells me how much pride is put into the…

Wow, I forgot the freakout, thank you! He still has it hanging so it must not bother him but messes with everyone else. 

Aw, Farley could have played the shit outta this guy, even had the strangled boozy/cig voice down pat. 

There is always Bob Loblaw...
