TGIF

#114: Thank something its Friday with episodes of Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers and… ahm… Going Places (?)

GOO GOO DOLLED OUT

I embarrassingly just had an emotional break down to a Goo Goo Dolls song. Not because of the Goo Goo Dolls song .. it just happened to be on… and at the right length to cover most of my shouting. Angry, angry ANGRY shouting spawned from some deep sobs that have been gripping in my chest for two weeks. Holding back from coming out. Sort of like my fandom for this Goo Goo Dolls song.

POP CULTURE APOCALYPSES

#113: A socially distant discussion on 12 Monkeys, Night Of The Comet and … somehow … Waterworld.

ALL THE PETTY THINGS

“Last Dog And Pony Show” isn’t available on Google Play. “Night Of The Comet” is streaming on Tubi, but that’s with commercial interruptions every 30 minutes. I downloaded the Marvel Unlimited app for reading old issues of “Dazzler”… unless those issues number past 12. These digital limitations that would have seen like conjurer’s magic as recently as 2009 sure are disproportionately frustrating.

CAROLINE INDISCRETION

It’s hard to write this post with an episode of ”Caroline In The City” playing in the background. Its from season three, which is discernible by the hairstyle of Caroline’s Best Friend Who Is In Cats. As this friend enters the apartment, her first line is greeted by a sarcastic retort from that Actor Who is Not Chris Eigeman from Last Days Of Disco.

COMING TO TERMINOLOGY

We have a lot of terms in pop culture (maybe too many) to identify entertainment as it occurs. “Reboot”. “Branding”. “Binge watching”. We’ve also had “Trekkies” and “Deadheads,” and “Larping.” Terms are how we relate what we do to people who maybe don’t screen 8 episodes of Inhumanoids in a week.
