I think you could show this to your kids as homeschooling, so they learn all about finances

I was stoked to see Johnny Burnette. Another one of his train songs went on to be covered by The Yardbirds and when Jimmy Page left that group and started up Led Zeppelin, they'd also cover it in the early days before they had enough songs to do. Legend is, it's actually the song the four Zep guys played when they first got in a room to meet.

I would like to add to my own fake category. “does Mario Lopez shave his chest?” From “Holiday in Handcuffs. 36 minutes in.

According to Wikipedia: So, it looks like Freed was trying to make him a "thing." It does look like he *just* died which is kind of sad.

That's the one thing I liked in this was the music. There was some artist I didn't recognize at all. Was Jimmy Cavallo a big name in early rock? Or was he one of those "big for the month this movie was filmed so he lucked out being in this". Was he friends with Stan Freed (or a payola person)? I had at least heard of almost all the other bands in this. It seemed strange that Jimmy Cavallo got a couple songs in this movie.

That whole number was uncomfortable as all get out.

I'd there's one thing kids these days like, it's this rock and roll music. If there's two things kids like, it's banking!

If you’re wondering why there aren’t any sour patch adults maybe you should stop eating their young.

Sorry, I’m late. Homeschooling... We watched;

I wish Paul would start a podcast called How Did We Get Scheer. The premise would be simple: Paul sits down with a guest who is given a one-sentence description of Paul's past exploits and the remainder of the show is the show is the guest asking follow-up questions as Paul's story unfolds. Paul F. Thompkins would be the first guest interviewer.

We got four more to watch!

From IMDB: "This early rock and roll feature, the 3rd in a series of 5 starring Disc Jockey and Rock N Roll impresario Alan Freed".

Could Alan Freed have been a less-inspiring salesman for this? He even "sang" the lead in one song and I was cringing the entire time.

How do you think she got the name Mrs. Silky? She was all smooth up front but would go medieval on your ass if needed. She must have been the only dressmaker in town at this point. "Nice dress shop you've got here. Shame if something happened to it."

I’m taking this 1/2 hour at a time, possibly to preserve what little sanity I have left. Observations on the first 1/2 hour: I think I have forgotten the names of the songs either (a) on purpose (b) as a side effect of the terrible lip-syncing (I swear at one point Chuck Berry’s Mouth DID NOT MOVE while he was singing. An astonishing feat)! Will what’s-her-name get the prom dress? I’m torn—don’t want spoilers but cant stand the suspense. Will she stay on-budget? I liked the reaction shots to the TV. The dad REALLY got into it, then went back to the paper. I don’t like speaking badly about children but that musical number with the girl was fucking awful. it seems EVERY musical number was performed over the director screaming, “Less movement, goddamnit! Stay locked in place!” Lingering question: So was this film’s sole existence to promote a TV show? I don’t think I’ve spent so long in a movie watching TV.

Dammit of course the moment they decide to release Valerian I now can't find it on any of the streaming services I pay for. It has been staring me down for months and I hate watching bad movies unless I know I'm going to listen to the podcast that same week .

Yeah. Both parents? That seems like some overkill.

Why is Mrs Silky such a fucking narc?

For sure! (on both counts) I'm not sure where "Ladies of the Eighties" came from...

Just say you’d like corned beef on your sandwich and stop describing it as rubinesque.

Ugh! Double Post!

-Best Jason Shutting An Audience Member’s Shit Down (aka, “Hey, Bro...?”) -Best “How Did We Get Scheer” (Tales from Paul’s Past). -Best June Just Not Having It.

Paul's childhood stories have to be its own category. How many nominees are we allowed for that? (Kissing his mom from Jaws 3 is my fave. Also giving first girlfriend a ring, I think that was Holidays in Handcuffs. Seeing Superman in the theater?) Maybe best Jason Statham impression could be its own category. Whose was better Paul, Jason or Ike? There needs to be some kind of Jessica St. Clair category. Faberge eggs, dumpster fires, her beef with Mario Lopez? Oh! Oh! What about Best Use of Google -- Naked Ken doll from Mannequin 2 -- Alyssa Milano Pants from Double Dragon -- Scientific Research from the Secret I had another one that I now forgot.

Off the top of my head, maybe: 1) Best Celebrity Impression (although I suspect a certain British Angeleno will win that) 2) Best Tangent 3) Best Anecdote from Paul’s Harrowing Childhood (This might fall under “Best Tangent,” but I feel like there are enough to warrant its own category.) 4) Best 2nd Opinions Song
