And then they did a throwback to it in season 7 with a new song for Anya, “I’ll be Mrs.”

Mrs. Anya Lameass Made Up Maidenname Harris.

Yes and no. There’s a new crime each week usually a murder but it’s not a mystery as we are shown who did it at the start. Also there is a kind of thread. It’s a bit Columbo, a bit Murder She wrote and a whole lotta Natasha Lyonne.

Oooo this looks nice. I’ll give it a go

If you’re enjoying the show, their rewatch podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends is fantastic. Glad you’re enjoying.

It gets MUCH better and I totally agree with you! Best starwars film / media ever

John is great, Zack and Donald have been doing a rewatch podcast and John was on a few and hes always amazing to listen to

Same, my absolute favorites

> Scrubs was a fairly popular show that ran for quite a while yet is still underrated.

It really is, and I know Im a Scrubs fanboy, but how many shows blend comedy and drama as well as Scrubs did?

Well, it’s preferred form in its lair in the sewers under Derry is of a massive female pregnant spider, but it’s true form is the Deadlights, which don’t exist in our universe, plus Pennywise is inherently male. Assigning gender to a shapeshifter is always a tricky thing, especially when IT is actually a malevolent ball of pulsating light.

In 11/22/63 Jake goes back in time to stop the Kennedy assassination using a sorta portal in time a friend of his found years before, however the moment you get sent back to is fixed. It’s always August of 1958, so before committing 5 years of his life to save Kennedy he needs proof that you can truly alter time. He does this by saving a family in Derry that gets murdered by their father on Halloween. (except for one son who Jake knows in the present, which is how he knew of the event.)

Derry is a violent town even when Pennywise is “asleep” it’s a part of the symbiotic relationship that the town and creature have with each other, just every 27 years or so it skyrockets even further. The point being that Jake hates it there, he spends two months waiting in Derry for the event (meeting Richie and Bev at one point) with the cover story that he’s in real estate looking for a location for a hidden buyer. To put off any suspicion that he isn’t there for that job he drives out to the old Ironworks (where Mike had his first encounter with IT) while there he notices several animal bones at the base of a fallen smokestack and then hears a voice in his head beckoning him to walk inside and forget about his mission and the past, that maybe there’s another portal in here that’ll take him somewhere even newer. It’s worth noting that Jake is there only a short time after the Losers beat IT during the 57/58 cycle. So Pennywise is in its less active state.

Jake would later hear that voice again when he heads to Dallas while looking at the Texas book depository where Oswald would shoot the President in a few years time and several decades before for Jake.

King makes several allusions about Dallas and Derry being extremely similar in nature, with a malevolent nature about them. That’s not to say that there’s an IT in Dallas too, but Jake thinks at one point that he wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a portal in Dallas similar to whatever was in that smokestack.

I know this one gets brought up a lot, it is a great episode, but my My Lunch/My Fallen Idol is my favorite followed shortly by My No Good Reason/My Long Goodbye are my favorites. They pull at my heart so much for different reasons.

But yes after that My Screw Up ranks with it and pulls at me too

I think scrubs is one of the best shows ever, I have not come across another show that blends comedy with serious drama and characters who grow like scrubs. The way it can be silly, then dead serious and it doesnt feel forced or uneven, it just works

I guess Slovakia is western europe now.

It is There come on.

Just like NBC wants to make it the 90s again through science a or magic

sounds like prequel to derry girls

>Finally some positive news. For all the groaning that streaming is a bust Zaslav has actually got HBO Max close to profitability in less than 9 months in charge.

Warners prior to Discovery was trying to expand HBO Max through big ticket spending, of course he was able to cut costs significantly by completely abandoning that strategy.

That isn't some brilliant idea. He just gave up on building a big streaming service.

Thanks for the details which I missed on delivering! I only noted Allen as part of the whole mix, as he was a fellow stop motion guy who pretty much retreated to direct to video stuff right after Twilight Zone.

That’s Bill Lawrence’s podcast!

Is this like a new mystery each week kind of show?

Do not befriend Charlie Cale.

You should watch homicide.

Danny Devito Shitting in a trash can he got stuck in, while tripping on acid at some school in Bucks County, PA.

Not television, though the effects were felt on television, but I still haven’t forgiven Joe Quesada for breaking up that marriage,

What a shame this is unavailable anywhere outside of the US

Rob McElhenney as Mac in “Mac finds his Pride”.

THe character started as a womanizer, before eventually coming out of the closet after about 12 seasons. In the episode I’m talking about, he decides to tell his imprisoned father that he is gay, by doing an interpretive dance for the whole prison, as well as Danny Devito’s character.

Anyone familiar with the show might be waiting for the joke, but there isn’t one. He and his partner do a five minute uninterrupted dance, in water, representing the storm swirling inside the character, as a catholic man coming to terms with his sexuality. It’s really beautiful and powerful.

Iirc Rob spent the better part of a year training and practicing for it. It’s pretty surprising coming from a show with an episode called “who pooped the bed”.
