• What Did You Watch? 2025-03-19 (Wednesday)

    From Ubiquitous@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 20 04:30:41 2025
    I watched:

    Several YouTube videos, including

    POP CULTURE BREAKDOWN | SNOW WHITE 45% ON RT | AWFUL STAR WARS RUMOR | DAREDEVIL | FRENCH CONNECTION
    POP CULTURE BREAKDOWN returns as we discuss (mock) the RAVE REVIEWS coming
    in from Disney's handpicked critics for Snow White...and the awful reviews starting to come in from dissenting critics (and a few regular moviegoers)! We'll discuss all the empty theaters for Snow White, with new reviews of Daredevil Born Again and Reacher Season 3, a discussion of the new Star Wars rumor I just posted a video about, and the movie we love this week is The French Connection!

    What did you watch?

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    SHIFTING GEARS S01E10 “Kiss”
    The season and I most sincerely hope series finale

    Jenna Elfman is back and now she’s the owner of the dance studio adjacent
    to the auto restoration shop and Kat Denning’s boss; neither of these
    things was mentioned last week. I get the feeling somebody decided she had
    to have a more important reason to be around.

    Kat’s worthless husband returns and has been offered a two year gig with
    the Foo Fighters all over the world. Somehow, this means wealth and
    success, although I don’t know why anybody is assuming wealth because he never says that. He does say that part of the deal is they’re giving him a house right next to Tim Allen’s so they can all live there and be a family.
    I have no idea how that works since he’s going to be on tour for the next
    two years and I assume when he finally gets back, he won’t have a house anymore.

    Jenna Elfman backs into her parking space so she can intentionally open her door into Tim Allen’s classic car.

    Kat accuses Tim Allen of fixing up her car to try to get her to not move in with her worthless husband even though it’s just the next day. He admits
    this is true even though it’s just the next day. Just none of this makes sense.

    Kat decides not to move in with her worthless ex-husband so Jenna Elfman
    throws her a big party at the dance studio to celebrate… I’m not sure what exactly. This culminates with her kissing Tim Allen who is old enough to be
    her father.

    There is a hot female character named Frankie, who apparently works in the
    shop and is credited in four episodes although she never has any lines. She just stands in the background watching the others perform. Sweet deal if
    you can get it.

    A couple really lame episodes of PASSWORD, PLUS where it was all
    celebrities playing the parts of their current TV shows. So Carol Burnett (really good player) and Vicky Lawrence were in costume and character as mama’s family and McLean Stephenson and Joanna Gleeson were their
    characters from hello Larry, which of course, just sort of looked at acted
    like themselves. Poor Allyn Ludden kept getting confused as to who was
    supposed to be whom.

    If she's the one who plays the lesbian, she's had lines in previous ep's.

    Yesterday is generally my "half-day" workday. But, once again, TV
    viewing has not been my focus, so I just got through soaps:

    DOOL - Fri's ep. Roman slips up, and Johnny forces Kate to reveal the
    secret - that Johnny's conception was a result of EJ's "coerced" sex
    with Sami (everyone calls it rape, but Sami later ended up marrying the
    guy, so...), and Johnny is irate... As predicted, Belle again falls into
    bed with EJ, but then realizes that EJ likely staged the whole thing to "convince" Belle to drop the charges against him!... Dumb Tate shares
    all his romance troubles with NuSophia (what a dummy! why would you do
    this?!), and it looks like NuSophia wants to bang him again, while
    preggers! Also, as predicted, Holly The Brat wants to steal the necklace
    back from Melinda Trask, but Doug III says "no" (at least for now!).
    GH - Mon's and Tue's ep's. These were convoluted... With Valentin
    lurking outside the hotel door, Carly is poisoned before NuJack Brennan realizes what is going on - Brennan rushes her to GH where she's treated
    by new Dr. Isaiah and Willow the nurse. The WSB figure out that it's
    Polonium poisoning - but the way this was written it was clear that GH's writers have no idea what Polonium poisoning actually is or how it
    works! - and conveniently Anna's daughter Robin (off-camera) delivers
    the "antidote" (IRL, there isn't one!!) and saves Carly. But later, when
    caught by Sonny, Valentin claims that there's a professional assassin
    after Sonny, so I'm not sure if we're supposed to believe that the
    hitman poisoned Carly, or Valentin did. (Separately, Lucas is having
    some kind of affair in Florida with a guy I am pretty sure will turn out
    to be the assassin!)... Brook Lynn confesses everything to Chase, who is floored (negatively) by the news that Dante is the father of the baby
    Brook Lynn had as a teen, and wants Brook Lynn to tell Dante the truth,
    but she pretty much refuses... Sasha appeals to Jason to keep the ruse
    going, lest Willow get the ammunition she needs in the custody case
    (more importantly it would allow Willow to take down Sasha!)... Tracy
    has Martin Gray arrested, and deported to [Schwarzenegger:]Call-ee-fornia!

    Otherwise, I ran an errand and later played a video game yesterday.
