Prime Video strikes again. I don’t envy TV creators relegated to that app, because it always seems to act in reverse. If people find their way to your show, then… maybe… they’ll give you a marketing budget. I was thrown for a loop when I saw the poster for Malice, a new series hitting the…

This series came to life as an outlet to talk about my acting and music fixations. I’m shameless when I fangirl. And really, that’s still true. We’re just jumping a lot further back in time. Full disclosure… I’m a sucker for mid-twentieth century ventriloquism. I feel obligated to admit this, because, yes… there will be…

I declared to myself this year that I want to start taking time to spread more joy. I’ve spent so much time attempting to prepare deep historical examinations that I got away from what I loved. There’s time for that. However, sometimes I just want to talk about what excites me. What inspires me. This…

As part of an ongoing George Nader deep-dive, Kim talks about the delightful (and notorious) Robot Monster. In this house, I will accept no Ro-Man slander.

As I recently came clean on in another blog post, Miss. Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is one of my latest obsessions. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Thank goodness for Netflix.

Scottish actor John Hannah burst onto the popular Hollywood scene in the 1999 Stephen Sommers remake of the horror classic, The Mummy. This was also the film which first propelled Rachel Weisz onto the fast track to the Hollywood A-list. In the movie, Hannah appears opposite Weisz and Brendan Frasier, back when the actor was still…

Fluff piece alert… So I stumbled on Ethan Embry‘s work in the most random way possible. Does anyone out there in the ether remember Dragnet? It is also known as the show that kept Ed O’Neil busy for a bit before Modern Family premiered. In a move more hipster than I care to admit, I started watching…

When I tuned into the Russell T. Davis, Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood, I initially went for John Barrowman (who I’ve fangirled over since his stage days). As I watched through the first series of the sci-fi show, I found myself taking notice of the actor playing Owen. Burn Gorman is a smaller actor, not conventionally…

My latest Amazon UK splurge came in the mail last week, and it was Jon Richarson’s second stand-up special Nidiot. I stumbled onto Richardson’s work when I was watching old YouTube episodes of the UK television series, 8 out of 10 Cats. (May or may not have been during my Jimmy Carr phase). Richardson is still a relative newcomer in…
