Marvelous Media for Mrs. Maisel

A very amusing Variety article about one woman's somewhat frustrating experience in trying to snag some of the promotional deals on Maisel Day in various L.A. locations.

Thanks for sharing that. As intriguing and cool as Maisel Day sounded, I assumed it would end up the way it did for the author. Good for her for getting as much accomplished as she did, and good for the other folks who stuck with it too.

Lot of reviews out today (seems like the critics were given 5 of the 8 eps): Hollywood Reporter, Vanity Fair, EW, TV Line.

A clean studio version of Darius de Haas/"Shy Baldwin's" One Less Angel is now out. I think I prefer the broadcast version with the soldiers singing along.

I know it's been mentioned in various threads on the forum that Brian Tarantina, the actor who plays Jackie, had passed away last month. The cause of his death has been released. I hope he's now at peace. I enjoyed his performance on the show.

Yeah, that one seemed a little odd to me.  It was just Jane Lynch...being Jane Lynch.

I wish it was Jane Lynch being Jane Lynch. It was her strangled behind her "Sophie voice" - the primary distinguishing characteristic she chose for her off-stage persona. Outside costume and the rest, it's just the speaking voice and composed demeanor, nothing else. I don't know what the hell happened there.

I know that not all exercise has to be high impact aerobics but it's been amusing to me for three seasons that the women in Midge and Imogene's exercise class think that they're getting in shape by doing some of these exercises.

I realize people were smaller then, the obesity epidemic hadn't hit, and fast food was in its infancy, but would it have killed them to have a few people who were not quite so trim with great musculature? I mean in the exercise classes; I credit them with casting Susie and Sophie and Joel's mother and secretary as other than small.

Thanks for the link to the article. It really helped explain what she's doing with Joel.  I can get behind a story that shows two exes evolving together in the sixties. I wish, though, that they would cool it with the plot lines that tease them getting back together like the Vegas remarriage. Yuck. 

Also, I thought they made Joel seem irredeemable in the first season what with stealing jokes, pimping his wife's brisket, and beating up on a drunken heckler, all of which made it hard to believe him as a sympathetic character.

This the kind of exercise they would have done back then.  They didn't "invent" aerobics and more vigorous exercise programs until later in the 60s and 70s.

Season 4  has started filming in NYC and the article speculates that we may see Season 4 in December 2021.  For being basically a puff piece it's a decent article with a lot of pictures from Rachel's Instagram.  No spoilers on the season, just confirmation that all of the regular cast are definitely coming back and none of the guest actors have posted anything one way or the other.

This article (but not the text of my post) contains spoilers, so you have been warned.

https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a30221053/marvelous-mrs-maisel-season-4-news-date-cast-spoilers/

When season 3 ended it was around 1960 wasn't it? I thought I remembered a discussion of the 1960 election. I was trying to figure out where the show was in relation to Lenny Bruce's life and career.

[Sarah 103]

There are new teaser trailers that all have songs from Gypsy in them. Could this be a clue that the new season will start/be set during 1962? The teasers contain clips from the new season, so be warned. These clips contains spoilers for the season that starts next year.

February 18th!!!!!!!!!   Thank goodness for a show that isn't "Summer 2022" (Stranger Things) or "November 2022" (The Crown).  

Oops, forgot about Cobra Kai coming in late December of this year.  

But in general, the way they're stringing out these shows is driving me crazier than the pandemic already has. 

[argrow]

I know people love their binge watching, but I'm glad this will be released two episodes a week over four weeks. More time to savour each episode and I don't feel like i have to marathon through the whole season in one weekend.

Today must have been the review embargo for season 4, as quite a few were published. None are super enthusiastic, although it seems critics were only given the first two episodes. Here are some: Hollywood Reporter, AV Club, Decider, Paste, Oregonian, Slash Film, The Wrap.

“'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' joins the '60s”   
Kate Feldman, New York Daily News 
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-marvelous-mrs-maisel-joins-the-60s/ar-AAU8jPA 

Some insightful interviews with cast members who grew up in the 60s:

Quote

…Caroline Aaron, who plays Midge’s ex-mother-in-law, Shirley Maisel, tells of her mother’s friend realizing her own value. 

“She was almost in tears, and she said to me, ‘don’t ever do volunteer work. No matter what you do when you grow up, don’t ever volunteer. Make sure someone pays you for whatever work you do,’” 69-year-old Aaron told The News.

Rose, when the season kicks off, is getting her matchmaking business off the ground, a revolutionary idea for a woman whose business card for her entire life had read “daughter, sister, wife, mother.” Shirley, on the other hand, is less excited to branch out. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” doesn’t make a judgment call on which woman is right.

“For Shirley, it’s going to be a real tug-of-war. I think she’s going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the new world,” Aaron told The News.

“I saw that when I was growing up among my mother’s friends, the ones that thought all of this women’s lib stuff was hooey and they should be dressed for dinner and they should wait on their husbands, they should put themselves second. And they thought there was nothing wrong with that. Shirley’s going to be one of the last ones to sign up because she likes her life.”

Yes Midge and Lenny in past were smouldering too...less tension this time but still good. I forgot about the "maybe someday..before I'm dead " line at the end.
