Episode 922: To My Fans, the Audience
Emory Bass, Mr Best, and 1776.
Episode 923: Probably Her
In which I identify myself as the only member of the Mr Best fan club.
Episode 924: Pretty Woman
To a discussion about the native regions of various actors, I discuss John Lasell of Vermont and Lara Parker of Tennessee.
Episode 925: The Wolf of Wall Street
In which I hypothesize that they threw in a reference to Freud to appeal to any adults who might still be watching what has become very much a show for children.
Episode 926: The Shark, and How to Jump It
Why it wouldn’t have helped to show the monster.
Episode 928: Another Day in the Uncanny Valley
I praise Christopher Bernau’s work on The Guiding Light, where he spent his time imitating Jonathan Frid, and lament his work on Dark Shadows, where he spent his time imitating Jack Benny.
Episode 933: King Kong vs Godzilla
A remark about H. P. Lovecraft.
Episode 934: The Pet Detective
In which I remark on the fact that Christopher Bernau is playing his character as Jack Benny.
Episode 938: The Dunwich Cuckoo
In which I say that watching Dark Shadows always of necessity involves rewriting Dark Shadows. I also list cast members in common with 1776, so it’s not all fancy-pants theory.
