i watched arrival again. and the day the earth stood still because i couldn't easily watch contact. let's see if it filled enough cracks caused by s5e22 to get through this.
Tumblr media
supernatural s6e1 exile on main st. (w. sera gamble)
"you okay?" "yeah, i'm good :)" then immediately🙁also, hello licensed music, old friend. beautiful loser, ouch. you realize you just can't have it all, indeed. montage of all the pale replacements for life with sam. heavy sigh.
now i feel bad for always ragging on the score, i feel like i need to pay more attention. is this interesting? is it creative?
is someone sending him on wild goose chase slash scavenger hunt
Tumblr media
this jacket, his hair being a little swooped to the side different. who are you? so my question will be, once he's back in business, does the hair revert as well as the clothes? sammy gets to change his hair up, let dean live a little.
this is a lot of dean. lying to lisa now too. oh how i wonder how her character is handled when he leaves. i'm guessing not well!
SAM You finally had what you wanted, Dean. DEAN I wanted my brother, alive!
Tumblr media
gather this is the dreaded (by me, specifically) robosam. this is awful! he's also occasionally sounding like a frat boy/stoner/skater i dunno what the white boy youth sounds like anymore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
parker lewis can't lose (1990-93) corin nemec as parker lewis
🎶 i do not want this 🎶 (two feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place)
well i went ahead and read the wiki to see when the soullessness gets discovered and fixed and ugh this is a lot of episodes with him like that. were the red flags not flying with i dunno, the year he refused to contact dean, his very chill reunion with dean, literally everything about the way he's acting. dean's a smart cookie, he knows that man inside and out, like he's not going to be majorly concerned day 1 (after a minute to get over the shock of it all).
i feel the base level suspiciousness and paranoia to live in their universe with his life experience is gonna outweigh his blind desperation slash theoretical happiness that getting sam back may cause. i call shenanigans! though we'll see what sera is up to, she catches me out sometimes.
what did i say about this show (and by extension us, the audience) being merely a vessel for dean's pain? oh yeah, bobby knew too, for a year.
fuck that noise.

I was wondering if anyone of you have ever heard or watched the TV show called Parker Lewis Can’t lose. It ran from 1990-1993. I have actually never watched this show but i heard about it recently and was wondering what it was like.

Ally McBeal Vibes...
She Hulk seems to be Ally on steroids; erm gammaroids?
I don't know how much She Hulk will lean into whatever density/layers that I think Ally McBeal had but the first episode was both chuckle and laugh out loud funny to me.
Maybe a Ally McBeal/Parker Lewis Can't Lose love child?
Another micro-genre for Marvel to play in is a good thing; plays to a diverse audience... like any other media network would (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc).

2023 Northeast Comic Con Spring Edition Wrap-Up
Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to cover the Northeast Comic Con (read my coverage here), a fun cool convention for lovers of comics, pop culture, and collectibles. Last Summer, I attended their 2022 Collectibles Extravaganza and it was my first convention since 2019. Felt good to be back!
Here is my lightning round of guests I got to speak with at this year’s con:
Tumblr media
Roger Kabler is a funny comedian and in the last few years he has been doing the Robin Williams Experience, where he does his excellent Robin Williams impression. I spoke with him last Summer and he had just finished making an independent film Being Robin about his experience of returning to comedy after Robin Williams died. His film is doing some screenings and it’s worth checking out. See details here.
Tumblr media
Cowboy Mach Bell is another celebrity I spoke with last Summer. He was the singer for the Joe Perry Project from 1982-1984 among many other bands and he has written some books about his experiences as well. Since last time I saw him, he has suffered some health issues, but I’m happy to say he’s back singing and his new band Mach Bell Experience are playing Geno’s Rock Club in Portland, ME this Sat. 3/18.
Tumblr media
Melanie Chartoff is someone who has popped up in all corners of pop culture: acting, voiceover, author, coach, theater, TV, and film. I was a big fan as a teen of TV’s Parker Lewis Can’t Lose and she was so good as Principal Musso. A decade earlier she was a cast member on the sketch show Fridays along with Larry David, Michael Richards and more. But probably the funniest thing she did IMHO was the episodes of Seinfeld as Robin, George’s single-mom girlfriend. In “The Fire” episode, George attends the birthday for Robin’s son and upon the fear of a fire, he pushes everyone out of his way. I asked Melanie how she managed to keep a straight face in that episode and she replied “well, you know, I’m an actress, right?”. Well put! Robin later returned for the finale when Jerry and his friends were on trial.
Tumblr media
Charlie Schlatter has been a highly prolific actor and voiceover since the 80s. I first became aware of him when he was the lead in 1988′s 18 Again, where he and his grandfather (played by George Burns) switch brains. It was actually one of my favorite brain-switcher movies of that era. I asked Charlie about making that film and he said “working with George Burns, to this day (I’m an old man now), but it was one of the best experiences of my life. He was the most generous and gracious human being you can imagine. It was like working with my true Grandfather everyday.” In 1990, Schlatter played the title character in the TV adaptation of Ferris Bueller. I told him I was a big fan of that TV show (it lasted 13 episodes) and he said “You were the one?” [laughs]. I was a big fan of the John Hughes movies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which was showing the character on a day off, but it was cool to have a TV series that showed what the character was like in school on a typical day. He was very appreciative I enjoyed that show.
Tumblr media
I first met Samantha Mathis at the 2015 Rock and Shock festival. She and I have a mutual friend in common and I reminded her at the Northeast Comic Con. In 2020, when I tweeted about the anniversary of Pump Up the Volume, which she starred in, she liked it on Twitter! She has appeared in tons of gems including that great episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where she sat next to Larry on the plan. This time I saw Ms. Mathis, I was excited to talk to her about working with John Woo on his 1996 film Broken Arrow. I mentioned that I actually made a film To Be John Woo (a tribute and parody of John Woo films). She was congratulatory when I told her Mr. Woo sent me a Christmas card the following year after he saw it! On working with Mr. Woo, she said “I was in awe of being in John Woo’s presence. It’s no secret that Quentin Tarantino heavily lifted from John Woo in the beginning of his career. So, I was just in awe of watching how he shot things. There was a sequence where he must’ve set up ten different cameras at different angles. I had just never seen someone use the camera that way before.” That movie was one of Woo’s early Hollywood movies and there’s some phenomenal action sequences in it.  
This convention is always a fun time! Big thanks to Gary Sohmers and his team as well as my friend comedian Ken Reid of the TV Guidance Counselor podcast (I was a guest in 2015) who hosted several panels at this year’s fest.
