Extra Hot Great

Recommended Posts

The Frankenstein play staged by the National Theatre and screened for cinemas was directed by Danny Boyle. Jonny is Danny's favorite actor, apparently.

Also, I hope the Extra Hot Great Team catches up on the Irene Adler/Moriarty arc of Elementary. The Moriarty is totally a dark-hearted Brit on this show!

Clarifications:

1) I only re-normalized the files so all rounds were better equalized. Original normalization and clipping was mostly done by Geeks Who Drink. I did minimal extra clipping.

2) Geeks Who Drink is pub quiz network, not a podcast. BUT HOLY SHIT THEY SHOULD BE A PODCAST. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. (Find them at www.geekswhodrink.com)<== Not a paid endorsement.

I'll make a small defense of Jonathan Frakes' acting abilities here. In a fifth-season episode of Criminal Minds called "The Uncanny Valley,"

he plays the father of the episode's baddy who is so vile that I've seen people confuse who was the actual criminal on the episode. His character is a child psychiatrist who is a serial child molester, starting with his own daughter, whom he had subjected to electroshock therapy at the age of 10 to cover up his abuse. Frakes plays off of his officious authoritarianism in a very creepy way in the part.

 

It's probably my favorite post-Season 4 episode of the series, so I highly recommend watching it--it works well as a first-time viewing episode for series newbies.

You guys should definitely watch The Adventures of Pete & Pete! It's a great Nickelodeon show that you would've seen if you were a kid in the 90s. I was actually considering submitting an episode to the canon, but might rethink if it's not something you've seen before.

Hey Previously.tv crew,


Liv's Sunflower Lion from the Face Off Report was too fun an idea not to draw a quick sketch. Extra Hot Great keeps me company on long nights drawing comics and I thought, why not draw something for you guys. Thanks for the show and keep up the great work!

Love this so much. We are going to show it to Liv during the next report record.

The Irene Adler/Moriarty arc was my favorite thing Elementary did. Not only did it involve one of my favorite current actors (Natalie Dormer, who's great), but I like it when a Sherlock Holmes adaptation is willing to mess with things a bit.

So glad you liked my Nonac submission! I just wanted to add that, although I also loved Allison's take on Jonathan Frakes, I think it's also clear that he was way more comfortable, starting in Season Three, when Picard and Worf started carrying the storylines, and Riker got to the be wiseass lobbing sarcasm at other people's plans, or when he was a sort of generic authority figure who just had to show up and metonymically represent Star Fleet ("First Contact," "Lower Decks"). And I suspect the fact that he seemed more comfortable at the back of the bus is also why he eventually became a director. But yes: I wish, at some point, he had tried to outsmart Columbo.

Loved this episode, listening to it this morning made for a great start to the day.  Awesome Nonac submission, WordboyDave!  You should do another sometime, I liked your style.  And fun gametime, Andrew R Juhl!  I enjoyed hearing the "Adventures of Pete & Pete" clip, I hadn't thought of that show in forever but instantly recognized it.

SyFy is a bunch of mansquito droppings, for sure, but I have really enjoyed Defiance. Lots of suspension of disbelief necessary for all the humanoid aliens, and the Wig Cop would make her citation quota on the first episode, buy definitely fun.

Royal Bandits (Once Upon a Time): What happened between Charming waking Snow up and them winning her kingdom back. Since we haven't gotten any story on this in-show. It could also show us what's up with folks on their War Council and future/present Storybrooke characters prior to the original curse. Of course, the next half of the season could negate this part of my post.

 

A slightly different kind of prequel: The span of time between Wonder Woman in World War II and when she returns to it in the 70s. Simply called Diana, it explores what she did in Man's World and why she felt she needed to return. It doesn't have to get too dark--burning out on crime happens all the time to normal cops-- but it doesn't have to go straight back to Paradise Island either. Granted, we don't have Lynda Carter to actually play Diana, but maybe Hippolyta, her mom, the queen? 

 

Diana could wander around the globe during the 50s and 60s and the culmination puts her in a headspace where she takes a break from our world. The end of the series is when a jet crashes of the coast of Paradise Island and Diana and the Queen share a look of bittersweet recognition.

That sunflower lion is AMAZING. I love it.

 

I sounded like I hate Jonathan Frakes/Riker. I really don't! But that is how perfect WordBoyDave's Nonac submission was -- I was truly overwhelmed by the awfulness of that clip show.

Home, Sweet Samuel (Mike & Molly): Samuel, the waiter at the diner Carl and Mike eat at, doesn't spend all his time chasing women with Carl and serving food and quips. He volunteers to help immigrants find jobs and houses. The show can use dramedy to highlight the absurdity of current immigration system and also housing situations. Highlighting that there is humor as well as frustration in relocating to a foreign country, Home, Sweet Samuel  shows us how our immigrant past is still present and a proud cornerstone.

 

From the mothership, in guest spots: Vince, trying to hawk whatever he's got this week, be it ostriches or Viagra; Carl and Mike, in diner scenes or advice scenes; Molly, who is a freelance journalist between novels,helps Samuel out with some fact-finding when she can.

An hour-long cop show set in the 1970s, but starring the young version of Andre Braugher's Captain Holt. Like Mad Men, where he's dealing with racism and homophobia and hilarious fashion and even more hilarious facial hair. Basically I'm asking for those flashbacks to be spun off into their own series.

I just recently saw that ST: TNG and I had to watch for a few minutes to make sure it was as horrible as I remembered. It was possibly even worse. The inside info shared here that they didn't even know which clips would be inserted explains some of it. But it's still beyond awful for all the reasons presented and discussed. Thank you for validating my hate for this episode! (And I may need to make that orchestral masterpiece into my ringtone.)

The Joy Luck Club-- He was an executive producer, but it could be soapy goodness! We can have flashbacks and fabulous period clothes for them too!

 

eta: It can be four other families, if there is a problem getting the movie's cast, or they could be special guest stars with ties to the newer families.

REGULAR WARM GOOD: The true tale of how two young fish-out-of-water Canadian power couple Tara and Dave move to the big city and get together with saucy roommate Sarah, and wacky neighbor Joe as they start to build their media empire.

Hey guys, this was my mini topic suggestion. Thanks for answering ("Hey, Ray Wise, go get us some sandwiches." // slaps dat ass)

Sarah was correct that I did not intend for the character swap to be a transition storyline, but I liked her answer of Raul Esparza. The man can do anything. The dialogue on SVU has gotten so overripe and awful it's astonishing, but he completely sells everything he's given. He was particularly entertaining just eye rolling his way through this week's ep on the falsely accused rape suspect. He deserves a purple heart for getting through the latter seasons of this show with his dignity intact.

But wait, would you like it better if I told you it was an Aaron Sorkin show, and you all have suspiciously prescient insights on the pop culture issues of the recent past?

"You know guys, I'm beginning to suspect that JJ Abrams doesn't know how to end Lost."
