Been rewatching Oz which is unfairly left out of the “Golden Age of TV” conversation.

Man, this show had a weird relationship with timelines. People commit prison murders and are convicted and executed in a few weeks within the timeline of the show. Then it leaps into science fiction halfway thru its run and they invent an “aging pill” and prisoners can choose to take it in lieu of serving their sentences: just take a pill and be fifteen years older and closer to death instead of sitting around for fifteen years. Wild shit.

If you can strain credulity though, most of the show holds up.

Continuing thru my rewatch of Oz, I caught Mark Margolis, the guy who played Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, making a multiple episode turn as an Italian mobster. A quick IMDBing reveals he’s neither Hispanic nor Italian, he’s Jewish and the child of a Russian father and a Polish mother.

Our greatest living actor or a true testament that even the slightest base tan will allow you to fool 99% of white Americans?

I always thought it was pretty obvious he wasn’t Hispanic but if that wasn’t clear to everyone, further evidence  on my “white people are fooled by the slightest tan” theory.

Hes just a giant phony who is culturally appropriating multiple racial identities and he had to pay. Not sorry.

Doppelganger edition:

Hutch does an amazing job playing Logain in The Wheel of Time Season 2.

I really wish to be cast as a Kramer-like character on some show. Sometimes I find myself ranting at home and thinking to myself “God I sound and feel like Kramer!”

I also have an idea for a teleplay for a streaming series but haven’t gotten anywhere with it….unfortunately I can’t tell you about my idea because it’s brilliant and I am worried someone will use it

Bill maher is coming back…but
not doing a monologue, desk piece, New Rules or editorial, the written pieces that I am so proud of on Real Time

the irony is he is 'supporting the strike' by showing he can do the show without the writers

He stated the show won't be as good as with his writers. Like Maher, i'm sympathetic to many of the WGA/SAG goals but also think it's admirable to provide work to those not part of those unions who are losing paychecks due to productions being shuttered.

Honestly, I'm conflicted as a Union supporter
I kind of think what he is doing is anti-strike and hurting their cause
He says he 'supports the strike' but has said some stupid shit about it and how it impacts him

He has his live dates and his Club random if people want to hear/see him  (of course, not as much as his HBO crowd)

in the end, I'm still a fan and going to listen to him, but of all the stupid things he's said/done, this is near the top

Fargo - Season 5 in November

Jon Hamm stars

Missed this news Monday

Bill Maher on Monday also said that production for his late-night show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," would also remain on pause.

BREAKING: The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have reached a deal that will bring the 2023 writers strike to an end.

Monster Inside (hulu) is cray

The Little Richard and Albert Brooks shows on HBO were both fantastic and both a must watch

All that great live footage of little Richard throughout his career was amazing.
