  1. I wish they stay away from the old man jokes about Joe Biden. I know SNL has a history of making fun about every president from Gerald Ford to Biden, but it seems like these jokes are very much in poor taste. And it's not SNL doing it. It's other talk shows as well. I mean, they made fun of the previous president constantly. I don't think Joe needs to saddled with old man jokes. That's just me. A little light humor, but these old man jokes are just tasteless. They could do so much better.

    I was also confused at first but from their conversation  I realized it was not Frankie. To quote from Reddit:

    pacmanlad0607: No, that's Tommy from season 1. In the conversation Cathy & Tommy were having, Tommy mentions how she's holding up after what happened to Frankie & not letting the kids know. Tommy's head is shaven & he has a scar now.

    This seems to imply Frankie is dead (the actor playing him is now in the main cast of Debris, so I guess they had to disappear him:)

    That is really something. Thanks!

    I've been watching The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, which I recorded recently, but am not sure I can persevere to the end.  Vivien Leigh is compelling, as always, but the storyline is getting quite depressing and as pretty as Warren Beatty was.... he ain't no Paolo!  

    That was later remade by HBO production starring Helen Mirren in the 2000s.

    Ah, so the Gaetz floodgates are starting to burst open.  OK, Rach, you already devoted too much of the show to it — BUT you def provided great background.  Please, I beg you, Rach, control yourself & don’t spend the whole show (or even a half hour) discussing this nauseating character, please???

    Maybe she will discuss Manchin? He just wrote an op-ed on the Washington Post....I was shocked she was not there yesterday. Usually, she has a few good antidotes here and there.

  5. Well, it did happen for John Ritter when he died on the set of Eight Simple Rules and they were renewed for next season without him. Probably after this season is over, they would be renewed. It happened before on other shows. Remember the actor that played Coach on Cheers and that went on for how many seasons? Exactly.

    IMO a child should not be the sole supporter of a family. That's the parents' job. I remember reading about how pressured River Phoenix was to keep acting to help support his family. That's just wrong.

    I think it all started with that Children of God cult that brainwashed River at such a young age. Jesus, those scumbags...what happened to River was so wrong. 

  7. When the reporter mentioned Tom Selleck's relationship with the NRA, I was not surprised. If you want proof of Tom's stance, there is a very heated debate between Rosie O'Donnell on her old 90s talk show. She was definitely arguing at that point and I think it was his last guest spot from 1999! I remembered him saying over and over, "That's ridiculous!" So when that news included him among the celebrities that gave money to the NRA, I was not shocked.

    Well, I just don't really understand what there is to be so much more excited about, because a lot of the really important stuff they need to do can't even go in reconciliation, like that reporter was saying. Not voting rights, immigration reform, gun control, the minimum wage. Yeah, they're doing infrastructure and health care, but weren't they always going to do those with their second reconciliation bill anyway? So what does this really change? That it can be broken up and passed at different times instead of all at once?

    I pray voting rights is on the top table. Or get rid of the filibuster. That's the true option....all these Repubs in nearly every US states passing voting reforms is just too much. I hope there is a way.

    One thing that was a shock was seeing that shiny, bright, waxy orange makeup on Trump. For four years that was just a reality but looking back it just seems so absurd. It also contrasted heavily with all the natural complexions we saw in this documentary. 

    I was also shocked at the crudeness of Marjorie Taylor Greene's stump speeches. I'm familiar with her persona but I didn't expect all that foul language. And she says she's a Christian.

    Oh, that's one person I need to know less about. MTG.......uggggh. Anything she says I put on the mute button.

    I personally get why people want to see queer characters played by real queer actors, but I've never felt it was necessary. We also don't really know if the "straight" actor playing a queer role is really as straight as they are protraying themselves as. I do know that as soon as an actor comes out, they are almost immediately put into a box and almost never get a chance at leading movie roles. You can't tell me that homophobia isn't playing a big role into why Matt Bomer isn't enjoying at least a B-list movie career right now. He seems mostly stuck in tv mini-series and whatever Ryan Murphy might cast him in. His most mainstream movies were a supporting character in Magic Mike and a blink-and-miss-it cameo in the Magnificent 7 remake. It's ridiculous. 

    Actually, an old article  about Tom Hardy does make a mention of him having sex with men and he even confirmed that. This was when he made Inception.

    Maybe the pillow was inspired by the Japanese pillows with printed anime figures aso on them so that you can basically cuddle with them?

    Anyway, good job pointing out who is actually responsible for the US debt, and I completely agree with the conclusion that it always depends for what you actually use the money (to simplify, investments good, spending on already rich people not so good). Thus said, constant grow isn't sustainable, hence there is no reason to get crazy with debt.

    Absolutely. For them to be pointing fingers at the other party that saves the day, nice try. And to think it started with Reagan! That clip from Johnny Carson speaks volumes. Oh, my goodness!

    That was some impressive stunt work Ali did. Mighty impressive. I was wondering the same as others here, was he reading Rachel's script or was that cooked up on the fly? Either way, impressive.

    I can totally understand those who are sick of the Gaetz story, but I don't mind Rachel talking about it. The schadenfreude is just too delicious to resist!

    I know, but I wished Rachel would do a slow burn to the two defenders that believe Gaetz is innocent. What a missed opportunity, though.
