“Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) loses a bag of cash to a homeless man that belongs to the local mob kingpin”

Berlin’s a big city. There’s no way she can’t do better than that guy.

Lenny Bruce in Mrs. Maisel is played by Luke Kirby, not Jack Kirby.

It did. Spoilers, I assume- Post has the original idea for a toaster pastry, spends ages creating it, and then stupidly advertises it in a trade magazine, like, six months before it hits shelves (an eternity!). So Kellogg steals the idea, hits the lab, and gets to market first. And that’s why the movie is about…

Gravity Falls is on there.

It seems pretty generous to call it an apology. “It was a joke!” with a side of “sorry if anyone was offended” might technically reach the lowest apologetic  bar, but it’s on its tip-toes.

Napoleon isn’t just “the short dude from [Bill and Ted’s] history review.” He’s “the short, dead dude from [their] history review.”

Lucky you. I’ve never seen an episode, and I’ve still managed to absorb any number of character beats and plots points against my will.

I mean, he has been around more recently than that. He spent like a decade as the leading man on one of the most watched shows on TV (at the time. I have no sense of how many people watch Grey’s these days). He’s hardly Ralph Macchio.

Pink is Jewish and has a son, so I don’t think he chose her concert at random.

Actually, now that I think about it, they play a fair amount of Offspring, too. Four or five songs are in semi-regular rotation, that I remember. No Bad Religion, though. Bad Company, Bad English, but no Bad Religion. Not in their bailiwick.

East Coast, actually. NY/Canada border. So, small local market, but international audience; every station on both sides of the border here advertises as “We’re a two-nation station!” in the most chipper tone imaginable. So in addition to the usual classic rock standards, we get a higher than average percentage of…

Not to disparage your very scientific survey, but the local classic rock station I leave on pretty much all day (yay, working from home) generally plays a Van Halen song or two per hour. This hour’s selection was “I’ll Wait.” Earlier in the evening we had a mini-run of Sammy songs and then “Drop Dead Legs.” And…

If Eric Roberts can be counted by the standards of the list, so can Joss Ackland.

Thank you, I was going to say the same thing so I’m glad I checked first.

I think I’m going to have nightmares about that double feature, my god.

Charleton Heston did a Jackson movie called The President’s Lady (with Susan Hayward) that painted him in a far, far too positive a light. It’s not really about his presidency, though, so much as his marriage and the whole mess that was. So they cheat by making him a beleaguered man in love rather than a genocidal…

Heaven’s Gate opened in November, so it’s a winter movie flop, not a summer movie flop.

Once upon a time, the only dead people in comics who stayed dead were Uncle Ben, Barry Allen, and Bucky. I don’t think Ben’s come back in a “this is real,” main continuity version, but the other two certainly have, several times over.

It’s not like the shoes are new, though. They’ve been around since the S2 finale.
