We present our The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie review!The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is a 2024 American animated science fiction comedy film produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Directed by Pete Browngardt in his feature directorial debut, it is the first fully-animated and theatrically released film in the Looney Tunes franchise based on entirely original material. The film is spun-off from the Looney Tunes Cartoons series developed by Browngardt and features the voices of Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, and Peter MacNicol. The film follows Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they try to save Earth from an alien scheme.In 2019, while working on Looney Tunes Cartoons, Browngardt was asked if he had any ideas for a new Looney Tunes feature film. Browngardt eventually settled on the premise of a "sci-fi B-movie from the '50s," starring Daffy and Porky. He took inspiration from features of the era and shorts starring the cartoon duo. Warner Bros. Animation, alongside several vendors, provided the animation for the film, of which its character designs were modelled after the style of animator Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. Joshua Moshier, who previously worked on Looney Tunes Cartoons, composed the film's score.Upon its announcement in 2021, The Day the Earth Blew Up was originally set to be released on HBO Max and the "ACME Night" block on Cartoon Network. The film however premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, 2024 and had a limited release in the United States on December 13, 2024 by Ketchup Entertainment, before expanding wide on March 14, 2025. The film received positive reviews from critics, and has grossed $5.6 million worldwide against a budget of $15 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Este pasado verano, se nos quedó pendiente de publicar este episodio con el que retomamos el género de fantasía con una película de espada y brujería que, a pesar de sus múltiples virtudes, entre las que destaca el fabuloso dragón Vermithrax y la banda sonora de Alex North, no es tan recordada como otras similares de la época. Y eso que fue precursora de muchas de ellas. “El Dragón del Lago de Fuego” (81), dirigida y co-guionizada por Matthew Robbins, es toda una joyita por descubrir. Nominada a dos Óscar por los efectos visuales y la banda sonora, co-producida por Paramount y Disney, pertenece a esa “edad de bronce” o “edad oscura” de la compañía del ratón, en la que se permitieron ser más arriesgados y valientes, sin que los resultados gozaran del reconocimiento en taquilla que muchos de estos productos se merecían. Basándose en cuentos antiguos, en la mitología existente, en otras películas anteriores y en la literatura previa, con especial mención a la obra de Tolkien, Matthew Robbins y Hal Barwood construyen un cuento oscuro con magos, campesinos, reyes, guerreros, princesas y, por supuesto, un dragón. Un dragón que surca el cielo, animado con avanzadas técnicas de stop motion y go-motion, construido con enormes animatrónicos y con una ambientación y escenarios de lo más efectiva. A lo largo de este episodio, desarrollamos todos estos aspectos, al tiempo que desglosamos la trama de la película y reflexionamos acerca de diferentes cuestiones que se derivan de la misma. Por supuesto, sin olvidarnos de hablar del elenco, mezcla de veteranos y nóveles, con un curtido Ralph Richardson y un debutante Peter MacNicol, como duplo ganador, escoltados por una joven Caitlin Clarke y con la presencia de Chloe Salaman, ejerciendo de trágica princesa Disney. Para iluminarnos en esta tarea, contamos con un highlander especialmente erudito y versado en las artes místicas, el historiador Manuel Jesús Segado Uceda. Asimismo, el paladín Óscar Cabrera aporta su voluntarismo y torpe pasión, mientras que el regio Juan Pablo Molina, nuestro videoclubsero, ruge y brama contenidos.

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast. Are you ready for some recommendations? This week, I am focusing on films that are perfect for anyone looking for some Dungeons & Dragons inspiration. I have got four fantastic picks: "Hawk the Slayer" (1980), "Dragonslayer" (1981), "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982), and "The Dungeonmaster" (1984).First up is "Hawk the Slayer." This 1980 fantasy film directed by Terry Marcel is a great watch for those who enjoy classic sword and sorcery adventures. The story follows Hawk, played by John Terry, on his quest to defeat the evil Voltan, portrayed by Jack Palance. The film stands out for its creative use of special effects, particularly for its time. It's a cult favorite and a prime example of low-budget fantasy done right.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support our work.Next, we have "Dragonslayer" from 1981. Directed by Matthew Robbins, this movie features groundbreaking special effects that earned it an Academy Award nomination. The story revolves around a young sorcerer's apprentice, played by Peter MacNicol, who sets out to slay a dragon. The dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative, remains one of the most impressive and realistic dragons ever put to film. The combination of practical effects and CGI was ahead of its time, and it's one of my favorite fantasy movies."The Sword and the Sorcerer," released in 1982 and directed by Albert Pyun, is another gem. Lee Horsley stars as Talon, a mercenary with an AMAZING three-bladed sword on a mission to rescue a princess and reclaim his kingdom. This film has some action-packed sequences and impressive low-budget practical effects. Lastly, we have "The Dungeonmaster" from 1984. Directed by several directors, including Charles Band and Dave Allen, this anthology-style film follows Paul, a computer programmer who must face various challenges set by the evil Mestema, played by Richard Moll. The film's blend of fantasy and sci-fi elements makes it unique. Each segment of Paul's journey showcases different styles and imaginative scenarios that keeps it fresh.These four films offer a great mix of fantasy adventure, imaginative storytelling, and unique special effects. They're perfect for anyone looking to get inspired for their next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy these classic fantasy films.

Cartoon Brew contributor and animator Vincent Alexander constructed a piece back in April around the most influential filmmakers and examples of their work that you could trace back to the guys behind the Looney Tunes. In this episode, I'm joined by Vincent and we touch upon a few of those directors and their films. Some may blow you away!   Looney Tunes in the News! The Day the World Blew UP! A Looney Tunes Movie made it's WORLD PREMIERE AT ANNECY! In the world of animation, few names evoke as much nostalgia and admiration as the Looney Tunes. With iconic characters like Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, these beloved cartoons have entertained audiences for generations. The recent premiere of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' at the Annecy Animation Festival has reignited interest in these classic characters, showcasing their enduring appeal in a modern context. A Stellar Premiere at Annecy The unveiling of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' at the Annecy Animation Festival was nothing short of spectacular, drawing a crowd that was visibly moved by the charm and wit of the Looney Tunes legacy. Under the directorial guidance of Pete Browngardt, and brought to life by the talented voice work of Eric Bauza as both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, Candi Milo as Petunia, Fred Tatascior as Farmer Jim and Ghostbusters 2 actor Peter MacNicol as The Invader; this feature-length adventure captured the hearts of those in attendance. The event itself was a vibrant celebration of animation, with 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' standing out as a highlight of the festival. From the moment the lights dimmed and the first scene rolled, the audience was immersed in a world filled with laughter, nostalgia, and the unmistakable zaniness of the Looney Tunes universe. Each joke landed with precision, eliciting hearty laughs, while the emotional beats of the story brought the crowd on a rollercoaster of feelings. The film's cleverly crafted narrative and beautifully executed 2D animation showcased the enormous effort and passion poured into its creation by Browngardt and his team. As Daffy and Porky navigated through their hilarious and often precarious journey to save Earth, the connection between the characters and the audience was palpable. The inclusion of scenes detailing the duo's upbringing and their comedic struggles with employment added layers to their personas, enriching the viewer's experience. Moreover, the portrayal of their friendship and resilience against the backdrop of an alien threat highlighted the timeless appeal of these characters, making every moment on screen feel both fresh and familiar. The Annecy premiere served as a powerful reminder of the magic that the Looney Tunes can bring to the big screen. It was a night where animation enthusiasts, critics, and newcomers alike were united in their appreciation for a franchise that continues to evolve while staying true to the heart and humor that has defined it for generations. A Return to Form for Looney Tunes In an era where digital animation dominates, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' emerges as a beacon of classic animation prowess, masterfully marrying the age-old antics of Looney Tunes with contemporary storytelling finesse. This film is not merely a nod to the golden age of Warner Bros animation but a robust reaffirmation of its timeless appeal and relevance. By weaving a narrative that is as emotionally engaging as it is uproariously funny, it marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Looney Tunes, showcasing the adaptability and enduring charm of its characters. The genius of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' lies in its ability to harness the quintessential elements that made Looney Tunes a household name—dynamic slapstick humor, sharp wit, and a knack for chaos—while infusing them with a modern sensibility that appeals to today's audiences. Daffy Duck's irreverent humor and Porky Pig's endearing stutter are complemented by a storyline that pits them against challenges that are both fantastical and surprisingly relatable, ensuring that the humor resonates on multiple levels. The movie excels in leveraging the rich history of its characters, providing them with a depth that adds a new layer of enjoyment for fans and newcomers alike. The exploration of Daffy and Porky's backstories and personal growth throughout their adventure adds a layer of complexity to their characters, making their triumphs all the more satisfying. By striking an ideal balance between the slapstick comedy that fans expect and the narrative depth that modern audiences crave, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' revitalizes the Looney Tunes brand. It demonstrates the potential for these iconic characters to grow and thrive in the contemporary media landscape, ensuring that their antics will continue to entertain and inspire laughter for generations to come. This film does more than just revisit the past; it propels the beloved antics of Looney Tunes into the future, proving that some classics only get better with time. The Art of Blending Humor and Heart 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' masterfully intertwines the laugh-out-loud humor characteristic of the Looney Tunes with deeply touching moments, creating a rich cinematic tapestry that speaks to a wide array of emotions. The filmmakers ingeniously use the comedic escapades of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig not just as a vehicle for humor, but also as a means to explore themes of friendship, resilience, and determination. This dual approach ensures that the audience is not only entertained by the antics on screen but also emotionally invested in the characters' journeys. At its core, this film is a testament to the complexity of the Looney Tunes characters, who are capable of eliciting both belly laughs and tender moments within the span of a single scene. The dynamic between Porky Pig and Petunia Pig, for example, offers a glimpse into the more nuanced aspects of the characters' lives, enriching the narrative and providing a counterpoint to the high-energy comedic sequences. This delicate balance between humor and heart is what sets 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' apart, making it not just a comedy, but a story with soul. The effectiveness of this blend is further highlighted by the movie's animation style, which employs expressive character animations and vibrant visuals to enhance both the comedic and emotional impact of the story. By doing so, the film pays homage to the legacy of Looney Tunes animation while also pushing the boundaries of how these beloved characters can connect with contemporary audiences. Through its artful combination of humor and heart, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' invites viewers to laugh, empathize, and perhaps even see a bit of themselves in the animated antics of Daffy, Porky, and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang. Critical Acclaim and Audience Reception Upon its unveiling, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' quickly captivated critics and moviegoers, securing its place as a standout addition to the Looney Tunes' storied legacy. Critics have lauded the film for its inventive storytelling, seamless blend of classic and modern comedic elements, and its ability to weave heartfelt moments amidst uproarious laughter. The animation's quality, vibrant and expressive, received particular acclaim, highlighting the skill and dedication of the artists behind this project. Audience reactions mirrored this enthusiasm, with many expressing delight at seeing their favorite characters on the big screen in a narrative that felt both fresh and faithful to the essence of Looney Tunes. Viewers of all ages found themselves enchanted by the dynamic duo of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, whose adventures brought not only nostalgia but also a sense of novelty that resonated with contemporary sensibilities. Social media buzzed with positive feedback, from tweets praising specific comedic sequences to Instagram stories capturing the joyous atmosphere of theater screenings. This wave of approval underscores the film's universal appeal and its success in reaching a broad demographic, from lifelong fans of Looney Tunes to a new generation experiencing the antics of these characters for the first time. The palpable excitement and commendations from both critics and audiences underscore the film's impact, reinforcing its status not merely as a successful animation but as a significant cultural event. This reception is a testament to the movie's quality and its role in the ongoing legacy of Looney Tunes, affirming that the charm and wit of these characters remain as vibrant and compelling as ever. The Implications for Future Looney Tunes Projects The enthusiastic reception of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' heralds a potentially wide future for Looney Tunes, showcasing their potential to captivate modern audiences while retaining the essence that has made these characters beloved for decades. This film's success could pave the way for Warner Bros. to reassess their locked away film, Coyote Vs. Acme which is a live action/animation hybrid film starring Wile E. Coyote and John Cena. This film has had it's share of publicity and with a large push from 'Earth' it's possible the film could see the light of day. The industry's response and the public's embrace of this latest offering reinforce the idea that there's a keen appetite for content that marries nostalgia with innovation. As we look ahead, the question isn't whether there will be more Looney Tunes projects but rather how these characters will evolve to meet the expectations of a new generation while delighting long-time fans. The possibilities are as limitless as the imaginations of those at the helm of future projects, suggesting that the legacy of Looney Tunes is not only secure but set to soar to new heights.

I'm tired and lazy so here's the first few paragraphs of the movie from Wikipedia. Baby Geniuses is a 1999 American family comedy film directed by Bob Clark and written by Clark and Greg Michael, from a story by Clark, Steven Paul, Francisca Matos, and Robert Grasmere. It stars Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, Peter MacNicol, and Ruby Dee. The film has the distinction of being the first full-length feature to use computer-generated imagery for the synthesis of human visual speech. 2D warping techniques were used to digitally animate the mouth viseme shapes of the babies which were originally shot with their mouths closed. The viseme shapes were sampled from syllables uttered by the babies on the set. Baby Geniuses was almost universally panned by critics, who lambasted its acting, humor, special effects, writing, and directing, but it grossed $36.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $12 million. In 2004, it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which was a box office bomb, and received even worse critical reviews, receiving a nomination for Worst Picture at the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Well after the highs of season 5 of 24, we are now at the dreaded season 6 as we continue our recap series. But is this season really that bad? Can we defend it? And how will we survive covering it? Let's find out by starting at the very beginning by recapping episode 1 of season 6, 6am-7am! Why are we heavily invested early on with some of the storylines? How many plot holes can we already nit pick about? Why did Kiefer apparently only find out that this was a good show in this episode? How excited are we to talk about Peter MacNicol and Marisol Nichols, as well as the returning Eric Balfour? Is there a contender for a top 5 scene already in this episode? What do we think of Fayed as a villain? Do we like Kal Penn as a villain? And why is vampire Jack the one scene we've all been waiting for?

POP ART, WHERE WE FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE.   That's right, it's episode 100. I've reached a milestone.   WHAT A DRAG: Join me and filmmaker and podcaster Donald McKinney, III (The Real Short Box, The Blue Beetle) as we talk The Flight of Dragons and Dragonslayer,two films about young people fighting dragons.     “All hail Casiodorus Rex, dragonslayer!” Look. Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's super…No, it's a…dragon?…   Sounds like it's time for Episode 100 of Pop Art. Yes, you heard that right. This is the 100th episode of my podcast. Huzzah, huzzah. I can't believe I got here, but here I am. It's the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie/foreign side of cinema with a connection to it.   Today, I am happy to welcome as my guest, filmmaker and podcaster Donald McKinney, III, who was my very first guest on Pop Art and who showed me the ropes. Donald has chosen as his film the animated The Flight of Dragons, while I have chosen the more SFX spectacular Dragonslayer, both films about young people who have to battle a dragon.   And in this episode, we answer such questions as: What is it about dragons anyway? What are our favorite dragons? Nudity in a Disney film? What was it about the sexualization of teens in the 70s and 80s? Why was Flight of Dragons banned on Israeli TV? What does "Vermithrax Pejorative" translate as? What are the differences between the book The Dragon and the George and the film Flight of Dragons? What is the connection of Dragonslayer to the Star War series? What is a George? How did Peter MacNicol get this role?   Meanwhile, check out The Real Short Box on most streaming platforms like Apple, as well as on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+real+short+box   Donald's website Rumblespoon Productions as http://www.rumblespoon.com/wp/index/   The web series The Blue Beetle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6a-L7kUfdE   Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/   My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howard-casner/support

In episode 2 of April Fools, Brent, Kate, and Nate get their heads stuck in the turkey that is Bean (1997) starring Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNicol, John Mills, Pamela Reed, Harris Yulin , Burt Reynolds, Richard Gant, Larry Drake, Sandra Oh, Danny Goldring, Johnny Galecki, Chris Ellis, Andrew Lawrence, Peter Egan, Peter Capaldi, June Brown, Peter James, Tricia Vessey, and Tom McGowan.

In this episode, we launch into our first theme block of the year placing our focus onto Fantasy films. Which, as Jason is keen to add, includes a bit of specific focus on medieval style fantasy. It all kicks off with Jason's pick as we check out the influential Dragonslayer from 1981. Dustin struggles to overcome his bias for Peter MacNicol as Janosz in Ghostbusters II. Jason plants his flag on the hill declaring Vermithrax Perjorative as the all time greatest dragon ever put to film. But before all that we do our usual whirlwind overview of the genre and highlight some iconic fantasy flicks across the decades. And so much more!

This month we ring in the New Year by spraying GHOSTBUSTERS 2 with a copious amount of positively charged slime! Join us as we defend the often dismissed but more than worthy sequel that struggled to stay afloat in a typhoon of blockbuster sequels. We'll compare it to more recent series entries, extol the genius of Peter MacNicol and provide a PSA on the dangers of Hardees' deadly Ghostblasters toy. So warm up the french bread pizza and straighten your Slinky as we cross the streams and vaporize all GB2 critics from this dimension!

We are closing the year by talking about Ghostbusters 2! Join us and hear us discuss whether this movie can hold the candle to the 1984 original, if Vigo is a better villain than Gozer, whether the chemistry between the boys is still there and if the comedy lands the way it did. We also discuss the thematic relevance of the brand, the logistics of having the Statue of Liberty become a Godzilla for one hour, argue over Peter MacNicol's vibe and openly disagree about one particular joke!

We're watching another Mel Brooks movie. This time it's the no-so-classic "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995. It's a fun little movie with a lot of the cast of "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" but with only like, half the laughs. But it's all ok because Leslie Nielsen is there and that's always a treat. We pair the movie with Vampire Pinot Noir. It's the rare occasion where we found a wine first and then divined the movie based on the wine label. The wine? Delicious.Tomatometer: 11%Movie Sync Notes: We rented the movie on Amazon Prime Video because it's just easier. We start "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" 12:59 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:13:33 into the pod.

It's time to turn the Thanksgiving tables on the colonizers, practice your tango, and think about Debbie's needs as we get all together ooky with Barry Sonnenfeld's Addams Family Values (1993). Should we give the incomparable Joan Cusack most of the credit for making this sequel better than the original? Or does it go to the incredibly precocious Christina Ricci, who might be the best child star of her generation? Are Angelica Huston and Raul Julia the ultimate relationship goals on-screen couple? And is Uncle Fester's O face in this movie even creepier than Dan Ackroyd's in Ghostbusters? All we know it that we want to find the kind of loving acceptance the Addams Family bestows so easily. 

Happy Halloween, everyone! On this dim, sanguinary Night of Fright, in the year of our gored 2022, Chris does the unthinkable and voluntarily hosts a vampire movie episode. But this isn't just any vampire movie—in fact, according to Wikipedia, it's "currently the latest film" directed by 96-year-old comedy icon Mel Brooks! That's right, it's Leslie Nielsen vehicle Dracula: Dead and Loving It, co-starring Peter MacNicol, Amy Yasbeck, Steven Weber, and Mel himself. Prepare yourselves, folks, because few things are as spooooooky as an unfunny comedy!

In the thirty-first episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by fellow cinephile Derek Paranay and fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann to discuss the mixed bag of impressive special effects and a typical hero's journey narrative that makes up Matthew Robbins' look at dark ages magic, religion, and superstition in Dragonslayer (1981).

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! Josh and Ryan pack their bags for Transylvania to hunt Dracula: the one, the only, the terrifying and... hilarious? Join us for this week's romp in the later catalog of Mel Brooks where we explore the tropes, the themes and the comedy of the world's most famous vampire. Do you feel unusually uptight? Are you feeling suffocated by Victorian repressiveness? Don't try an enema. Just listen to this episode! "Dracula Dead and Loving It" was released in 1995 and stars Leslie Nielsen, Mel Brooks, Amy Yasbeck and Peter MacNicol

In a post Gozerian world, the ghostbusters have reduced to mundane jobs, like cable access TV host, or high finance. But when the old subway lines are flooded by the hand soap of evil, the mayor, and lady liberty know who to call. The guys (Ben, Bracken, Brant, and Nate) review this follow up to the most successful comedy of all time. Is this film Exceptionally Bad or just Bad? This movie stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Peter MacNicol, and Wilhelm von Homburg.

Baby Geniuses is a 1999 American family comedy film directed by Bob Clark and written by Bob Clark and Greg Michael and starring Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, and Peter MacNicol. The film has the distinction of being the first full-length feature to use computer-generated imagery for the synthesis of human visual speech. 2D warping techniques were used to digitally animate the mouth viseme shapes of the babies which were originally shot with their mouths closed. The viseme shapes were sampled from syllables uttered by the babies on the set. The film grossed over $36 million worldwide on a $12 million budget. In 2004, it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which was a box office bomb, and received reviews even more critical than the first film, getting nominated for Worst Picture at the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards. This...was an experience for all of us. Nate picked this one as he enjoyed the film during childhood. Does it hold up today?  Here for the Reels is a part of the SnackStudios podcast network.

Best selling American author, TV actor in roles such as CHIPS and The Pander Heart, and Mel Brooks approved, Mr. James Bailey joins Joshua T Berglan for an inspiring interview and a lesson on why we should NEVER give up on our dreams. James Bailey was born James Michael Bailey in Arkansas City, Kansas. In the early 1980s, he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting. He got his start in 1981, appearing as "Billy" in comedy film Back Roads, starring Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones. The same year, he was seen playing the role of "Mervyn" in the baseball player Leroy "Satchel" Paige's biopic Don't Look Back: The Story of Leroy 'Satchel'. The character of Satchel was portrayed by Louis Gossett Jr. In 1981, he also appeared in minor roles in two episodes of John Patterson-directed hit television series CHiPs: episode "Crash Course" in January and episode "Concours d'Elegance" in December. After appearing in a supporting role in A Gathering of Old Men (1987,) Bailey landed one of the key roles in Lou Antonio's television drama film The Outside Woman (1989.) Bailey was last seen on TV in 2001, portraying the character of "Mr. Peacock" in the TV drama The Ponder Heart, starring Peter MacNicol and JoBeth Williams but his dream to make it in Hollywood still burns on as he sells one book at a time to inevitably reach his life long goal of being a major actor.

Tread Perilously's Women First month concludes with an episode Ally McBeal called "Story of Love." When Ally kicks another woman while she's down, she ends up defending her in court on a previous assault case. The eerie parallels to her own dilemma concerning sometimes client George Madison (guest star John Ritter) and Elaine are purely coincidental. Meanwhile, Cage is training his frog, Stefan, for the upcoming regionals. But when he ends up flushed down the toilet, it is up to the rest of the office to both let Cage know and help him grieve the sudden amphibious loss. But is this story meant to be as whimsical and funny as Ally's plot? Erik and Justin finally watch an episode of Ally McBeal and come away with some surprising takes. The coward David E. Kelly is once again tried for his crimes. Peter MacNicol proves a favorite. Justin notes the way Ally McBeal disappeared from television history. Erik recalls the years he stopped watching TV. The brief moment of Natasha Gregson Wagner gets examined, as does the phenomenon of "Hooked on a Feeling." The pair also debate the merits of Courtney Thorne-Smith's presence in film and television and Bing Crosby emerges as a villain.

In this episode we answer the question of “Who are you gonna call? “It's all about Ghostbusters in this two-part episode. In honor of the recent passing of the great Ivan Reitman (we recorded this on 2/21/22) we dive deep into a movie series and franchise that left an impact on all of us, and we couldn't do it with big time Ghostbuster's fan and returning guest Josh Bernhard. In this first part we talk about our first memories with Ghostbusters and talk about the first two movies, with a little Real Ghostbusters thrown in here and there. If you are a fan of this show you should also check out Josh's podcast “Trash Compactor: A Stare Wars podcast” https://www.trashcompod.com/ 00:00 James introduces the show and we move into talking about when we all first were introduced to Ghostbusters. 10:00 Josh talks about the unique tone of the first Ghostbusters movie. 15:17 We talk about the grounded story telling of Ghostbusters and move into thoughts about the first Ghostbusters movie. 21:00 We start talking about Bill Murray's role in making Ghostbusters what it is and how it would have been different then if Belushi had been a part of it, the subtle things that Harold Ramis does as Egon, 28:30 We talk about the importance of New York as a character in the movie, Josh notes how the movie could be seen as a metaphor for cleaning up the city during the era the movie was made and we come back to Venkman being the person who helps the Ghostbusters navigate New York. 35: James brings up how quoting Ghostbusters brought him and Chris together as friends, this leads us to talking about how masterful the actors were at improving the most memorable lines in the movie, we then just start quoting Ghostbusters. 39:31 We talk about the Stay Puff Marshmallow man. 43:28 We move into talking about Ghostbusters 2 start with our impressions and thoughts on how we feel about the movie today. 51:41 We talk about the character growth of each character between the two movies. 56:33 We talk about the role Rick Moranis plays in both Ghostbusters and once again start quoting Ghostbusters, we move into talk about Annie Potts also and about The Real Ghostbusters again. 1:00:55 We talk about Vigo and the great comedy acting of Peter MacNicol. 1:04:50 Josh talks about how a behind the scenes shot of the museum model used in Ghostbusters 2 got him inspired about film making, it got Chris into Jackie Wilson, started James thinking about canon and continuity. Then we start talking about The Real Ghostbusters again.

Pick up your proton packs and watch out for that moody slime, it's time to get the band back together for the campy cash grab that is Ghostbusters II. Who else has a soft spot for sequels? Was there no such thing as workplace harassment training in 1989? (No need to answer that, we know there wasn't.) Is there any scene that Peter MacNicol does not steal? (No need to answer that one either.) How did everyone forget that the city was attacked by a giant supernatural marshmallow man five years before this? The only thing we make sure you know in this ep is that we're all New Yorkers. Read Randall's full episode notes at yourenofun.com.And follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter.

It's Slime Time! In this episode all about Ghostbusters II (1989), Nick and Rip speculate how Bobby Brown wrote “On Our Own,” rave about how great Peter MacNicol is, and confirm whether or not Slimer has an ass.
