In 1994, television gave us a criminally short-lived gem: The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.. Created by Carlton Cuse and Jeffrey Boam, the series ran for just one spectacular season—27 episodes of sci-fi‑tinged Western adventure that blended pulp thrills with tongue‑in‑cheek humor.The cast was stacked:Bruce Campbell as Brisco County Jr.Julius Carry as Lord BowlerChristian Clemenson as Socrates PooleFeaturing Billy Drago as the sinister John BlyKelly Rutherford as Dixie CousinsJohn Astin as Professor WickwireAnd John Pyper-Ferguson (a dual Whit Bissell Award winner) as the unforgettable Pete HutterThe story follows Brisco, driven to hunt down the gang who murdered his father (played by R. Lee Ermey), but it's far more than a revenge tale. With its mix of Western grit, sci-fi weirdness, and comedic charm, the show delivered equal parts fun, strangeness, and thrills. Billy Drago's chilling turn as Bly remains a highlight—an absolutely sinister performance that elevated the series.Gone too soon, Brisco County Jr. remains one of the most fun, inventive shows of its era. If you missed it the first time around, it's well worth rediscovering—you won't be disappointed.----------Matt has over 100+ lists for movie suggestions on ⁠Letterboxd⁠You can reach out on Bluesky: @MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under the alias arcus at ⁠⁠⁠⁠Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠.Follow who we follow:⁠⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠⁠

With This Ring #69: King of the Ring 2000   Ryan and Cindy roll on, looking at the 2000 edition of King of the Ring. In this edition we once again see a very stacked, although shoddily booked tournament along with some other big time matches. Among the topics we discuss: Lot of talk about the PPV and tournament in general and how only 3 matches in the entire 32 person tournament lasts past 5 minutes. How by rebooking only slightly, you could have a much better tournament with the same 8 guys, or subbing two guys from the Fatal 4-Way tag match. We look at the end of peak Too Cool. The quick appearance of Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) in WWF and somehow led to a Hardcore Evening Gown match between Brisco and Patterson. Kurt Angle being the proper choice for King and how it helped give me my AIM screen name.    The main event being a good enough Sports Entertainment ga-ga match. The night after-Raw where Vince says he's going away to be a genetic jackhammer and how it was probably time to lower our McMahons for a little while. Mick Foley making his comeback and the WWF finally getting a fan friendly authority figure and what it leads to.     All this and much more. Enjoy!
