    In the C&O department, they kept referring to the British actress (and her character, who was apparently named Laura) as "Fiona" Hughes, but it's actually Finola.

    Yeah! That bugged me when I listened to the show, but forgot to mention it here on the forums.

     

    Fun Fact: I only know Finola Hughes from the "Generation X" made-for-TV movie. She played Emma Frost. I like comic books.

    Here's a couple of things that came into my mind as I thought about the movie:

     

    1.) Going off the idea that Jackie is the protagonist of the movie, a good tagline would be: "She provides moral support...to a man with no morals."

     

    2.) The gang talked about the scene where Jackie's singing a song, Tony motions her over, and she leaves the stage to talk to him, while the song is still being performed. Then Tony gets mad because Frank Stallone keeps looking at her from onstage. But the look on Frank's face isn't one of sexual attraction, it's more frustrated. Tony never even considered the idea that maybe Frank just wanted her to come back and finish the damn song !

    This was glorious. I agreed with just about everything said about Tony being a horrible monster and Jackie being the true protagonist of the film.

     

    BUT, as much as I (geniunely) loved the music of Frank Stallone, Tommy Faragher's "(We Dance) So Close to the Fire" really stuck with me and I felt I had to download it after the movie was over (I know I mentioned this in the mini-sode's thread last week).

     

     

    Also, one of the new wave girls Tony rejects early in the movie was played by Joyce Hyser, star of the classic Just One of the Guys.

     

    EDIT: Staying Alive was on TV just last night (Movieplex, specifically), and I seriously considered watching it again, even though it was, like, 3 in the morning.

    I just watched Staying Alive, and, other than Tony's chauvinism being off-putting as hell, I actually kind of loved it. I should tell you now that I have never seen Saturday Night Fever. But I love montages and synth-rock (downloaded Tommy Faragher's "(We Dance) So Close the Fire" after it was over), so this was right up my alley.

     

    Um...I'm sorry?

    And Mookie. He's Mookie. The best. I still go back and listen to that scene where Mookie launches into the pitch perfect crazy ranting guy voice from the youtube video. Legendary.

    I think my all-time favorite Mookie scene is the Indian man who gets turned on watching women eat mangoes.

     

    But yes, this episode was great. And I also wish Gil was on the show more. He's hilarious.

    I've only gotten through the trailer supercut, and had to pause to come on the forum and say that I am grinning from ear to ear. This is already awesome!

     

    I'm surprised they skipped "Ophelia Powers" from Catwoman in the awful names category. I remember Jason's mind in particular being boggled by that corny name.

     

    June STILL debating spaghetti robots! OH MY GOD!

     

    It sounds like Paul's "Wrap It Up" music is the sad piano theme from the Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk show.
