Rad Is Being Re-Released To Theaters

 

On October 14th In The Year of Our Lord 2021, "Rad" will be shown in theaters in celebration of it's 35th Anniversary!

  From the website:

"In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the 1986 BMX racing film, Rad returns to theaters for one-night-only. Featuring a new 35th anniversary restoration, the film stars Bill Allen (Cru Jones), Lori Loughlin (Christian Hollings), Talia Shire (Mrs. Jones), Jack Weston (Duke Best), and Ray Walston (Burton Timmer), along with 1984 Olympic gymnastics champion Bart Conner (Bart Taylor).

As part of the Rad 35th Anniversary event, fans will see for the first time “A Rad Documentary – Inside the BMX Movie That Changed Everything.” Featuring never-before-seen interviews with the cast and crew and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary gives audiences an inside look into the making of the film that helped catapult the extreme popularity of the 1980s BMX fad."

The Trailer:

  I've already bought my tickets - $27,000 worth. Don't get left out! I'd run right over to that stand and buy as many as you can!

Late Show - The Dr. Phil Trilogy

 Over the past week and a half I've released my own "Dr. Phil Trilogy" to youtube. I don't expect it to perform well - I think people see "Dr. Phil" and think "who cares?"

But this was a fun era in David Letterman history. For months they isolated clips of Dr. Phil out of context and played them for comedy on the show (Video #1). And then Dr. Phil agreed to come on the show and implied that it may come to violence (Video #2). Then the actual interview (Video #3) was actually combative (in a playful, jokey way).

I have no particular opinion of Dr. Phil but the whole saga was fun and funny. I wish I had more "Dr. Phil's Words of Wisdom" clips but it was a daily segment and I felt overwhelmed. Also, someone started a website where you could read through them all and I figured that was good enough, not thinking that anything like youtube would ever exist.

All of this was a stepping stone, I think, toward getting on Oprah - and, for all I know, it worked.

Sidenote: The youtube algorithm is an interesting thing. The Norm Macdonald clip that I posted 2 weeks ago has over 60,000 views. The Conan clip that I posted a week later is at 127 views.

Star Trek Acid Party

 

I have a goal. My goal is to watch the whole thing. I don't know if I'll make it but that's the goal.

Seinfeld Movie References

 

I consider myself to be pretty much a movie aficionado but I have to say there are tons of references that I didn't spot.
