UPDATE: As we were getting ready to drop this episode, Trump-supporting domestic terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol. This episode and page were created before the Jan. 6 incidents.

Bye Bye 2020

I looked up 2020 on Giphy and this is what comes up.

via GIPHY

We still have a long road ahead, but it felt good to put 2020 behind us.
It was just the two of us this year (duh), but we did get cookies from Ritchie Cunningham and Oprah, some cool gifts from fam and friends, added new ornaments to the blue tree, and ate and ate and ate!

Impostors

We watched a LOT of movies. Mostly older movies we had missed the first time around or hadn’t seen in a long time. But, we did start binging one show. Imposters! It’s “dramedy” about the long con, kind of like The Sting, only not so light and kinda like Grifters, but not so incestuous!
Imposters stars Inbar Lavi, Rob Heaps, Parker Young, Marianne Rendón, Stephen Bishop, Katherine LaNasa, Mel Harris, the always great Mary Kay Place, Ray Proscia, and Uma Thurman.
But the most exciting surprise for us was a major character, Brian Benben, who plays Max!!!!


Both of us were huge Dream On fans, and we were surprised when we looked up Brian Benben; it was barely mentioned.

So, while we definitely recommend Impostors, we STRONGLY recommend Dream On.

We can’t find it anywhere (legally), but we will keep searching and pestering HBO MAX on Twitter.
UPDATE: Travis found Season 2: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told
With David Bowie as a Sir Roland Moorecock. Full episode!!

We’re three episodes in, four by the time you listen to the show. How do you think they are doing? This was one of the series we were most excited about all year. We’ve talked about it in previous episodes and put a huge link at the bottom of every page to help you get a free trial of CBS All Access too.
This week we finally dive in and discuss casting, time jumps, and give lots of love to Greg Kinnear! He is a stand out on The Stand!
As promised, here is a compilation clip of our dear friend Mike, a young writer on Later with Greg Kinnear! (He also worked on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno )

Revisit of the Week

This week we revisited Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Directed by a young  Roman Polanski, from the novel by  Ira Levin and with stellar performances from  Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, and Ruth Gordon.
Worth the Prime rental!

Then we found the awful sequel on Youtube! Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby (1976) (TV Movie) Full movie on Youtube (free.)
