Rant: Monthly Dee-Lights (7/22)

Just a note of some of the funnest content I consumed last month (in no particular order): – The latest (eighth)* season of Celebrity Family Feud featured several teams of interest to me: Ep #8.2 saw a face-off between Salt-N-Pepa … Continue reading

Rant: “The Kids in the Hall” + “Comedy Punks” (2022)

Back in May, cult/classic/iconic Canadian sketch-show The Kids in the Hall returned for a new (sixth) season, after an absence of, uh, almost three decades now (not counting the 2010 mini-series, Death Comes to Town)! Thankfully the “Kids” themselves were … Continue reading

Plug: “Southland Tales” BR

I don’t generally get that excited about new releases, but for some reason I was hyped to see that Arrow Films are releasing a fancy Blu-ray edition of Richard Kelly’s flawed-but-fascinating mindf*cker Southland Tales (2006) next month!* The biggest selling-point … Continue reading

Applesauce 5: Paula’s Last Hurrah!

[Contains competing memoirs and SPOILERS!!!] After her glorious showing in the previous season, ‘Paula’ (Janeane Garofalo) only appeared in two measly episodes of the fifth instalment of The Larry Sanders Show (1996), prompting Garofalo to jump ship and join the cast of … Continue reading

Applesauce 4: Paulapalooza!

[Contains unsafe celebrity-themed night-lights and SPOILERS!!!] The fourth season of The Larry Sanders Show (1995) was the series high-point for ‘Paula’ and Janeane Garofalo alike… not only did they appear in the majority of the episodes here, but also scored … Continue reading

Valellientines

Now that we’re knee-deep into Valentine’s Month, I’ve decided to distract myself from the howling vortex of loneliness by contemplating which fictional lady-person I’d most like to go on a date with. Fun? Of course, I’m still crushing pretty heavily … Continue reading

Applesauce 3: Blondes Have More Screentime

[Contains a “divorce gun” and SPOILERS!!!] Although the third season of The Larry Sanders Show (1994) saw Janeane Garofalo appearing in more individual episode than she had in previous years, she was mostly employed as a minor ensemble player, and … Continue reading

Applesauce 2: A Paucity Of Paula

[Contains pissy power-plays and SPOILERS!!!] As I mentioned in a previous post, one of my main motivations for purchasing the complete Larry Sanders Show boxset (besides the seasonal discount), was the promise of some prime Janeane Garofalo cuteness and snark… … Continue reading

Applesauce 1: The Weaselling

[Contains contentious catchphrases and SPOILERS!!!] “Lightning deal” sales and strong red wine are a deadly combination, especially when I have prospective Xmas money burning a hole in my pocket… last year I impulse-bought the Borgias boxset, and this year it … Continue reading
