Dr Z’s description of Carrot Top - “Your starting to look like Vicki Lawrence’s reflection in a puddle and it’s terrifying the children”- (S2E7) was equally accurate and hilarious 😂

I watched Svengoolie back when he waz the Son of Svengoolie. I feel old typing that.

[@pandemicentitlements5198]

Dr. Z, you're like Peter Ustinov, Richard Pryor and Peter Fonda rolled up in a rug, all trying to get out. Loving it!

[@noisepuppet]

Throw Joanne Worley in there, and you've got a party! Did I tell you about the time over at Merv's when Orson took a swing at Peter? Years later, Orson said nobody else could break two of your ribs while begging your pardon in three different languages. They loved each other like brothers. Like Cain and Abel, those two, I swear.

🎶 When you’re watching tv, 1973, that’s Svengoolie. When the world seems to shine, 1979, it’s still Svengoolie. (Svengoolie) Horror, scream, science fiction dream… 🎶

Dana sent me down a rabbit hole with the reference of Ernie Anderson then that lead to the WTF interview of Paul Thomas Anderson.

[@ibtaba]

Rusty is spot on with his choice of horror movies, I would also add “Little big man”

Looking back on that list. Hmmm, I haven't seen _any_ of those. Except LBM, recently. Now, a mug with those titles, as a list would be totally marketable. Go for it. MUGS

Did ya know that Mighty Joe Young (1949) was played by a first cousin (twice removed) of Dr. Z, sadly he was uncredited for his role.

The greatest horror movie is obviously My Dinner with Andre. What's even more terrifying is that they're making a franchise reboot called, My Intermittent Fasting with Gwyneth Paltrow.

[@stevereber3358]

I flip channels too much, I must have watched 6 or 7 snippets of "My dinner with Andre" before I realized it was NOT a comedy, (and after the Princess Bride I kept waiting for Andre the Giant to show up)

[@danielnugent6545]

​@@stevereber3358Well if it was André the Giant, the dialogue would've been mostly unintelligible. Which... actually fits with the woo-woo theater person talk nobody else can follow.

Eeyeahhh, that last one, in the Jason Alexander episode, kinda stopped the show dead in its tracks. Reaching for an awkward pause is a tricky proposition at best, a near death experience at worst. It's a little meta and a luxury for this little show.

This was really good. Even with the TV deal it was really good. I would have liked to have seen this go for a half hour. Just killing it! I still don’t know what to feel about Rusty. I know he’s the sad sack second banana but there’s a tension there, like he might snap at any moment. Maybe he just needs a bar stool… Well done!
