We just watched the first episode tonight. I liked the comedy and the chemistry so far. The only weird thing that took me out of the story was Kristen’s character wearing the gigantic fur coat. It just seemed so dated. No one wears fur coats anymore. She seemed to be the only one wearing a big coat even though they gave the exposition of saying that it was cold.

I’ve seen Nate in person before and the story he told in his monologue is one that normally happens mid-set so it has other things leading up to it. I think the monologue time and his admitted nervousness didn’t give him a chance to get into the rhythm needed to land the jokes of this story. It was much funnier in person. I wish he would have had a chance to write something new just for this show. Also, I saw a clip where Nate spoke about accidentally reading Heidi’s lines the last time he did the show because he’s color blind (I guess each actor’s lines are in a different color) Maybe this contributed to his nerves.

Another person who probably should have been interviewed about all of this is Nick Cannon. He began working as a writer for All That at a young age and he later was the head of Teen Nick around 2009. He had to be aware of some of the stuff that happened.

Anyone else catch that when they last showed the bracket before this match it had a spoiler about who won? Oopsy.

I’m wondering if they changed the storyline midway in case NBC decided to not give them another season? Ben and Addison time traveling together is as close to a happy ending they could give while still allowing for the possibility of a renewal. They were really going for the Doctor Who references by saying that time is a river and that he (Ben Song) and Hannah would never meet up again in their timelines. The same thing happened with the Doctor and his love River Song. IIRC, they’ve never specifically said that Hannah is dead in the modern timeline. She’d be in her 90’s, but it’s still theoretically possible for her to show up.

I’m not understanding how Kathy giving Ronnie the tea set makes up for her taking thousands of dollars from him and committing vandalism on Dana Sue’s business. If she was really sorry she should have returned the money after apologizing and then left town. Are the creators downsizing the cast for next season due to budget cuts? They just 86’d Maddie’s Mom, the guy who works at the spa, and potentially Bill all suddenly.

If a person is in a relationship where they have to shut out their best friends who has always had their back and best interests at heart then that relationship is unhealthy. Also, why are they styling Pastor June like Helen this season? They’ve changed her hairstyle and clothes to resemble Helen’s style. It’s a weird choice. I’m all for the ladies having extra friends, but everyone can have their own style.

Kim Matula (former Hope) will play Jane Curtain in a movie directed by Jason Reitman about SNL’s opening night. https://deadline.com/2024/01/snl-1975-jane-curtain-laraine-newman-gilda-radner-1235805534/amp/

It left me wondering what the ultimate payoff was for Oliver. Did he want the house and or money or just the destruction of these people? Is he really going to be satisfied going forward? Sure he was dancing around naked, but then what? Can he really maintain that large house long term plus, it’s not likely he would be accepted by people at that level of society. None of the staff or other family members thought these deaths were suspicious, especially when Oliver inherited everything? The family didn’t protest the will? I know, it’s just a movie and I’m overthinking.

My husband and I watched this tonight. We were not impressed. The two hours felt like 57 and as my husband commented, “This is all just the recruitment phase.” Townspeople: We need an army to save us. Kora and Farmer Guy: We’ll go round them up. Then they return with 4 other people and trample their cash crops along the way. Apparently Irish people are not thrilled with Charlie Hunnan’s accent. I saw a headline describing it as “space Belfast”.

Kim Matula (former Hope) will be in a new Hallmark Christmas movie that will air this Friday 10/20. It’s called Checkin It Twice.

I think the 3-D effect was in how the print lined up on the pants. I’ve had a few days to think about Brittany’s collection. I think for her personally it was a step forward in growth. Then I began to consider the question of can an athleisure line also be couture. The most direct line for consideration would be Beyoncé’s line Ivy Park. I think the argument could be made that they did manage to bring couture to an athleisure line. I think at its prime, the same could be said for Kanye’s Yeezy line. Brittany’s closest thing to couture looks were the printed pants and the dress that Mimi wore. While her line was fun, I don’t think she made the pieces look expensive. So I think it was theoretically possible for her to have won if she had created pieces that did that. Is it harder to make athleisure look expensive? Sure. That’s the path that she chooses to take. I think she just didn’t quite nail it yet. For those complaining about Mimi, did anyone catch Coco Rocha closing out Christian’s NYFW show over the weekend? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-wRt-R0tj/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I think the purple suit lost it for Laurence, as well as maybe the green outfit on the plus sized model. The CFDA guy asked her to show range beyond just leather. I’m sure his comments were given to the judges since they were providing the prize. When she didn’t deliver that had to count against her. I’m happy for Bishme. I would totally wear the two piece outfit that had a black off the shoulder top and knit skirt. I think he can do both couture and ready to wear.

Matt Barry’s show Toast of London now has a U.S. version Toast of Tinseltown on the Roku Channel (It’s a Roku Original). Kayvan Novak makes a cameo in the first episode. It’s interesting to hear him talk without his Nandor accent.

For those of you that enjoyed this movie, there’s a new movie out on Netflix called Hunger with a similar vibe (obviously a different kind of plot though) as this movie. It’s based out of Thailand, but we watched it in English with subtitles.
