When you realize in the last 30 minutes of a show that your suspicions were right about an actor playing a murderer because there’s no way THAT actor would play a role that throw away.

Tonight! Practical Magic is a film that I saw in theaters, but was too young to really understand. I’ve watched it twice in the last few years and it gives me all of the 1990s rom-com warm and fuzzies. Thoughts coming soon.

In the last two days, I’ve seen two articles positioning both Jack Lowden and Dan Stevens as unknown actors. Either certain writers or certain audiences need to get out and watch more movies.

Was I expecting this weird little quirky take on The Wizard of Oz? No, not at all. I walked out with an epiphany, though. We do not deserve John Slattery. His work in Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass might be one of my favorites of the year. 📽️ 🎬

I have a Richard Carlson bias. I admit it. Miyoshi Umeki, meanwhile, appears in this episode of The Virginian just five years after her Oscar win, in what would end up being one of her last on-screen appearances. These are performers who deserved so much more in their respective careers.

The Invite felt, to me, like a relic of the 1970s in the best way possible. Just imagine Frank Langella in the Ed Norton role. It works. I think Wilde had Cassavetes and Altman on a hypothetical production mood board and I very much vibed with it.

The word “genius” gets overused, but it’s fitting in the case of James Burrows. He changed the face of television and is responsible for the tone/feel of too many iconic sitcoms to name. Rest in peace.

I dove head first into Peter Scolari’s filmography a few years ago and Goodtime Girls was a series that has always escaped me. The idea of this single season sitcom has always fascinated me. It seems the critics of the time did it really dirty.
