  1. I want Piper and his boyfriend to become regulars. Also, I want a spinoff with Frost and Ralph once this show ends.
  2. Hate to say it, but I just don't know what to make of this episode. Maybe it's because I don't know much about Brenda and Marc Fasteau. I do think Brenda ended her fling with Jules because she was afraid of how the rest of the movement would see her. Given Betty's views on homosexuals, she'd be pushing for Brenda to be kicked out rather than giving naysayers "proof" that the ERA movement is made up of "angry lesbians". Also, I was watching this episode with my mother and right off the bat things were awkward with that x-rated grotesque cheap ass "play". So Gloria Steinman had two lovers. Interesting. Don't anybody tell me how this is going to blow up, please. I wanna be surprised 😉 That scene with Phyllis and the guy who returned her son's wallet was actually a bit chilling. He knows where they live. Who's to say he won't show up again for a little more "gratuity" for returning that wallet. And as much as I didn't like the implication, I found her veiled "quitting smoking" story impressive. She didn't reject her son but she knows...and knows what damage will happen to her and her movement if he is found out to be a homosexual. And I could understand the anger Phyllis had at her husband. She wants his respect but being called "submissive" on national television was a huge blow to her and her intelligence. All she wants, ironically, is for intelligence to be respected but she'll never get that in the kind of world she's in. Can someone explain to me what was going on when Phyllis showed up at the office and found out Fred moved to another office? Was he demoted or something? Margaret leaving Ms. felt like an afterthought to me. Maybe because we didn't get a whole lot of time with her. She just seemed brushed aside. And what the hell was up with that lady with the megaphone?
  3. I was wondering when they were going to get to the lavender elephant in the room. Yeah, I'm not a Freidan fan. I'm less of a fan of hers after that "pedophiles" comment. I mean, it was probably written for dramatic effect, but I wouldn't put it past her to make such a comment. But we're finally getting to the hypocrisy of the ERA movement - the near total exclusion of black women and the total exclusion of lesbians. Despite what I think of Berry Friedan, I am in love with Tracy Ullman's performance of her. She'd better get an Emmy nomination...and win. And as much as Schlafly was not a good woman, she was smart. Her thinly veiled comments about Freidan's husband leaving her was Savage with a capital S. And I loved the shot of her when she realizes her son is gay. Just a look of serene dawning devastation.
  4. Not much of a Jane Russell fan except for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Her acting like Marilyn Monroe was a hoot. But these other movies of her just stink, I'm sorry to say.
  5. Is there a reason Judging Amy isn't on any streaming service or DVD? I mean, even Early Edition got DVD releases (though good luck trying to get them).
  6. Just curious but do cartoon characters count?
  7. Archer should have ended after season two. Season three was when things started to go downhill despite the train to Canada episode and "The Ellllllegant Dinner Party".
  8. Three episodes in my mom and I are all in. Loving the acting for the most part and the women are fascinating. Schlafly was not a good woman but she was smart and organized and knew how to mobilize. I was amazed how fast she was able to turn things around with the Southern women on the fly like that. Compare that with how the Women's Rights leaders are doing. They're constantly needling each other, bickering with each other, and being undermined by political forces they are unprepared to deal with. Were they really so politically unsavvy? I can't go further into this because I'm sure to put my foot in my mouth and I'm sure I will given I don't know the whole story behind this. I do find it fascinating that Schlafly hasn't even reached the national spotlight yet and the ERA is already floundering. To me, it's obvious that Schlafly didn't need to do much. Abzug, Steinman, and Friedan were fine at torpedoing things all by themselves.
  9. I have no desire to see The Good Place (despite me liking Kristin Bell and Ted Danson). It's right up there with Community with annoying over hyped, over rated, over gushed, and over troped sitcoms that aren't that damn popular.
  10. He wouldn't. He'd do everything to make sure Cartwright would live to face Gotham City "justice". Kate doesn't have that qualm, however. And I'm not going to condemn her for it. I mean, who wouldn't snap if they found out a psychopath was keeping a family member's head in the freezer, especially if it's your mother's.
  11. Well, Rachel Skarsten brought her A-Game this episode. Loved the part where Beth stopped being Beth and became Alice by flame broiling the old hag. Shouldn't have kept her mother's head in the fridge...or repeatedly scald her hands...or stole those earrings. Well, Mouse is loose now. Wonder how that's going to play out. Whoops. Kate killed someone. Don't know if this makes her an anti-hero considering she wasn't in costume at the time. Still, this is going to have ramifications. Wonder what those will be?
  12. Well, thanks for a great night, guys. It was fun. This cheered me up immensely.
  13. Now I have to see Parasite. And Joker. And Bombshell. And Little Women. And 1917. Good for Parasite, though. It's great when an underdog story happens in real life.
  14. It made a shit ton more money than all the nominated movies combined, that's for sure.
  15. That's nice for Renee but I was hoping for Scarlet. Has anyone seen Judy? How was it?
  16. Well, I'm sorry, Joaquin. I am actually allergic to nature and I like milk.
  17. Yeah, it was going to go to Joaquin but I was holding out hope for Leo. But, A COMIC BOOK MOVIE WON SOMETHING AGAIN AND YOU'RE MOVIE HASN'T, SCORSESE! HA HA HA HA HA!
