Re:View - Nothing But Trouble

Jack and Rich discuss the cinematic disaster "Nothing But Trouble".



I first watched "Nothing But Trouble" out of curiosity as it's the cinematic debut of Tupac Shakur and the song he appears on "Same Song" by Digital Underground also happens to be his musical debut. I would emphasize that although the movie makes for GREAT discussion, it's not bad enough to be good and it's certainly not good.

Jontron - Weird Workout Videos

We are all human beings. I'm including myself in that, I am a regular carbon-based human. And so given that you are a human being and I am just as much a human being, not different in any way and certainly not an alien impostor, to the extent that I don't even know why I would bring that up... the point is that we humans tend to gain a little bit of weight around the holidays.

Fortunately, Jontron has some workout videos for you that you can use to maintain a regular, unsuspicious, human shape.

MST3K Renewed For Second Season

In case you missed the Turkey Day marathon, it was announced that Mystery Science Theater will get a second season on Netflix (and 12th season over all). Dampening my excitement is the fact that it took them way too long to renew the show - delaying the new episodes by half a year or so. It's unknown how long production will take and when the new episodes will premier.

Next year will be the show's 30th anniversary.

Late Late Show - Thanksgiving Roundtable

The Thanksgiving Round table was a gloriously bizarre idea with a terrifically random execution.

The premise was that Craig would have a Thanksgiving round table discussion with Rod Roddy (of The Price is Right fame), actor Martin Mull, tennis player Anna Kournikova ("live via satellite", of course) and Late Late Show writer Mike Grayson. Rather than eat, they would sit down and discuss the issues of the day (always hampered by a way-too-big table centerpiece).

The second video is my recording from another year where the full segment was divided into pieces and played throughout the episode. The first video is not mine.

Moonlight Serenade

I have a very strong sense of "Fall Music" when Fall rolls around. The appearance of Autumn usually means it's time to listen to The Band's Brown Album on loop for days.

But for some reason I want to revisit Summer instead, specifically Moonlight Serenade.

One thing people may not know about Moonlight Serenade is that it has lyrics. Glenn Miller wrote it as an instrumental (of course) but yet it has lyrics. And as far as I know, that's a common thing among Glenn Miller songs (and for all I know, it could be true of most songs of that era). That's always been a mystery to me, why go to the bother of adding lyrics to an instrumental? But recently I found the answer.

Moonlight Serenade has lyrics for Ella Fitzgerald.
