Genuinely surprised at that news. Oliver Farnworth was great on both Corrie and Hollyoaks, so he's a welcome addition.

Request: Lila Lee - Her IMDb and Wiki state she was in soap operas, but doesn't mention any by name. I don't know if you'll find anything, but if you do I'd be curious to see.

If anyone knows who Austin Wolf is, he's finally had his day of reckoning having been arrested for child porn.

The great Martin Mull has passed away. Personally, I loved him best from Roseanne and Clue. May he rest peacefully. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/martin-mull-dead-clue-arrested-development-1236057168/

This show will do anything but tell an actual story.

Something of Value (1957) - This awfully generic title has no business being put upon this striking, horrifying film about the Natives of Kenya fighting back against their colonizers. The movie doesn't waste time showing you the ugliness of racism, having to concede that Britain bought the land "fair and square." Sidney Poitier is overwhelmingly soul crushing in his performance, and Rock Hudson is a strong, beautiful lead. It's the film's heavy emotional stakes that keep you invested, especially the relationship between Hudson and Poitier's characters. The horrors of war are not shied away from, but shown even more brutally when in a more suburban setting. There's a raid scene where Wendy Hiller's character comes down the stairs bloodied that revolts you, but none more than the ending which makes you want to throw up, exasperated.

A one-hit wonder, but the song's chorus is one of those I randomly remember every now and again and it instantly takes me back to a certain, more innocent time being 11 years old when it came out. Shifty Shellshock, Crazy Town Frontman and ‘Butterfly’ Singer, Dies at 49

Damn, those Morrow genetics run deep. Crew is beautiful.

A lower bar could not be reached.

Katey Sagal basically made that joke at the Roseanne roast, but it was more specifically about their characters.

At the top of my head I've only seen him in the infamous film Hush, where he was gorgeous. One of my guilty pleasure films for various reasons. Good for him for still looking damn good.

I think it's a cute coincidence that from the time The Gates was first announced to when it'll debut is roughly the same time frame of a baby's birth (9-10 months). Someone with more expertise of the gestational period could probably make a thoughtful comparison when all is said and done. What I do know is (ignoring I'm an atheist), since the show will be on CBS it's a comfort that wherever Aretha Franklin is, she'll be watching!

Thanks for doing this. Much appreciated!

Regarding Buffy, Angel season 1 would be happening the same time as Buffy season 4, so just enjoy those early Buffy seasons first.

You could wait until it goes down to 3, 20 minute episodes per week, so trying it out then wouldn't be a big commitment.

It's plot driven soap opera on crack. It can be entertaining, but never for too long. Plus, major story is usually only given to the same tired characters ad nauseum.

She was getting in people's good graces when she was praising vacationing in some BC town I forget the name of, then she turned a corner into this and lost it all.

The article I read on DS said it'll be worldwide.

Looking it up, it was based on a very successful comic strip that lasted from 1953 all the way to the year 2000! The close up of Pop was strange, but the worst choice was to not end the episode with the reaction from the show's namesake for the series' first cliffhanger. That's just bad soap opera.

I loved reading @Matt's For Now and Forever, which took place in the 30's and was "cast" with classic Hollywood actors. I remember he was admitted some soap writer contacted him through email to try and help him get in the door of actually writing for the soaps, but he ended up turning him down. Matt, feel free to repeat the anecdote again with more accuracy if you feel so obliged!

Paul Wesley used his surname, Wasilewski.

Request: Dabney Coleman (R.I.P.)

The only good thing about this for me are getting the free hours of my week back, until The Gates returns of course!
