Wonder Woman is 2020, isn’t it?

OLP is still heavily played on Canadian rock radio, or at least in southern Ontario. The radio in my kitchen is tuned to a Kingston station (I’m in northern NY), and I’m guaranteed to hear one of their songs every hour and a half or so. Makes surprisingly good dishwashing music, though.

Sure, that’s the point. It’s not a case of the actor being incapable; Mehcad could rise to the occasion if allowed. The writers just never give him anything to work with. James is good and solid and very, very dull, and there’s no reason for it. He could be good and solid, but also funny and weird, like Brainy or Wynn

unintentionally damning asides like a joke about how the Hays code banned depictions of “white slavery (but other kinds of slavery were cool),” implying that O’Meara is not aware that “white slavery” is an early-20th-century term for what’s now referred to as sex trafficking

He was funny, charming and interesting on Necessary Roughness, one of the only bright spots on a thoroughly mediocre show. And he almost never gets to be any of that here. It’s such a waste.

It does seem odd, which makes me 500% more interested in this character than I otherwise would be.

The Good Witch- the first three seasons are on Netflix, and Four, Five and some of the the movies are on Amazon, though not the “included with Prime” kind (booo).

Well, remember how young Stephen Miller is. Some of these schmucks have demonic contracts signed in crayon.

There are two shows called The Librarians, actually. One about magical artifact-hunting librarians who are based- sort of- in Portland, OR. And one about a Catholic, racist, incompetent Head Librarian, played by Robyn Butler, having library adventures in Australia.

$40K for high school?! And then you still have college to look forward to? Jesus. That’s deranged. I just can’t imagine any version of my life (or my parents’ lives, really, at that age) where that would have been a feasible option.

Not a hallucination- the HP Lovecraft Historical Society did make a silent Call of Cthulhu with mostly minor changes to the story and some very stylish effects work, considering how tiny their budget must have been. They followed it up with a b&w 1930's-style version of The Whisperer in Darkness, which is mostly

Heh, I was going to say Foghorn Leghorn myself, and decided to read the many, many comments first. I listened to a ton of classic radio comedy shows in high school (my parents introduced me to shows like Suspense and The Shadow when I was a kid, but skipped the comedies), and I was really startled when I first hit

I usually see it as ~1984, but I guess either way, if the ‘90's teen horror cycle starts in ‘96 (Scream), it catches the older part of Gen M.

Weren’t Millenials in grade school, or jr. high at most, in the 90's? It is a very good book, though.

Dan Neilan is literally a professional writer. You might not think he’s any good at it, but your opinion doesn’t affect the reality of his employment.

Megan Fox’s attempt at a Southern accent.

Yeah, “very few” is an exaggeration.

Lucky you. My in-the-sticks local library doesn’t. Of course, significant swaths of my county don’t have broadband yet (ever?), so keeping the lights and furnace going probably strike them as a greater priority than Kanopy.

Crazy, right? Who would have thought?
