I dunno, the hard-drinkin' horndog Jonathan Frakes gimmick from the old ST:TNG reviews was pretty solid.

The Sleeper! Immortalised in the old 60s Captain America cartoon.

I loved Roger Stern's Hobgoblin story arc where Jonah was blackmailed because of his financing of the Scorpion, and he published a full confession rather than give in to the Hobgoblin's demands. Which reminds me of a total missed opportunity - had Sam Raimi been allowed to make a fourth Spidey film, it would have been…

Is Joe Robertson the most underrated character in comic book history? Like you said, he had a position of authority that would have been unlikely for a real-life African-American at the time. Plus he was a fatherly mentor to Peter and a trusty ally of Spidey, and was grounded and level-headed but totally willing and…

John Byrne is not just an asshole, but an ignorant one. He once commented upon the Troubles in Northern Ireland by saying Britain should bomb Dublin. 'Nuff said.

…and Mark Patton, who starred in ANOES2, featured prominently in Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean . I'm not sure how many other Freddy Krueger films featured Altman alumni.

I *would* admit that if I could actually remember the end of the film. I'll take your word for it though!

My favourite Rommel is the casino-owning Rommel from the "Hitler's Golden Murder Palace" episode of Danger 5.

I was thinking about using that TCM flashbulb sound for my phone when I get messages. Then I realised I don't want to be scared shitless every time I get a message.

"…and introducing Susan Joyce and Nancy Reems!"

Pointless trivia: Pet Sematary is the favourite book of NBA legend Robert Parish!

The Spice Girls, "one of the best groups of all time"?

"Ralph Macchio" almost sounds like an amalgam of "Ralph Malph" and "Scott Baio."

Mentioning Purple Rain in the same context as The Karate Kid reminds me of the 1984 issue of MAD magazine in which both movies (as well as Ghostbusters) featured in a triple-parody of reviews by "Gene Sissy" and "Roger Ebore."

Can you imagine the likes of Bob Woodward or Doris Kearns Goodwin or Rick Pearlstein writing a book that mentions the Mooch, Pickle, covfefe, the Bowling Green Massacre, "Grab 'em by the pussy," Spicer hiding in the bushes, sex talk with Boy Scouts, etc, etc? The Trump Presidency volumes are going to represent a…

Shredder wouldn't appeal to conservative Americans. He's an Asian guy with the voice of a Black guy. I imagine the Bible-thumpers would be totally cool with a disembodied talking brain from another dimension, though.

America would be far better off with Dick Dastardly and Muttley than Trump and Pence.

Trump would dig Clapton's 1976 racist meltdown though.

Yeah, if there's a Tom Wolfe book that's been filmed once before but needs to be remade as a miniseries, it's The Bonfire of the Vanities.

Is your sister the bridesmaid who had it off with Sonny Corleone?
