Good to hear that you're feeling better. A few additional movies to add to the queue: Poltergeist, The Lost Boys, and The 'Burbs. Recently I rewatched Stephen King's 'Storm of the Century.' It's from 1999, but still a good watch.
I noticed all your congestion/plugged descriptions revolved around food! Fudge, guacamole, oatmeal and my favorite, pudding in your eustachian tubes! As a nurse, I understood your reference immediately and was very impressed that you came up with that term! 😊
You sounded sort of normal, to me anyway, at least within a reasonable range thereof, and who defines normal anyway? I reckon "litany" is one of those words that could use some aditional usage. Now I want some chocolate pudding (but not in my ears).
Not sure your voice was really all that different. Perhaps it’s just your ears and you hear yourself differently. Good show as always, great to have you back.
Whenever I hear a child screaming while the aeroplane is landing, I empathize fully with the poor child. I usually protect myself with a decongestant pill and several hits of dristan before landing, whereas the poor children don’t have a clue what is happening to them!
I must say, the headphones do effect an air of professionalism! 😎
Great job, as usual. Hope you're feeling better. Check out "Lady in White"...very quirky and atmospheric...Alex Rocco, Len Cariou and Katherine Helmond from 1989. "Thinner " is kind of fun too.
Ah, a blast from the past with Jennifer, Dr Johnny Fever and the beautiful Bailey Quarters! Thanks for that. I have a serious Q for U. Who decides in the sophisticated and cultured hierarchies of making the TeeVee shows whether or not to add a laugh track or Live Studio Audience? (FYI: laugh track and studio audience is the same thing to me.) One of the reasons I find Corner Gas such a great repeatably comfort watch is the lack of both. And in full disclosure I absolutely hate both laugh track and studio audience as I find them intrusive and annoying. I can't even bring myself to rewatch some of my all time favorites because of them including WKRP. Thanks for not burdening Corner Gas with that meddlesome noise. But seriously who makes that awful decision?
Talk hole. That one got me. Make sure that talk hole is front and center at the mic. Thanks for the ramble, Brent. You always make one of my work mornings a week entertaining. But today is the first day in our new office. We moved from one where I had my own office to one where we're all sitting in a giant open space so I have to listen on headphones. When I burst out laughing at "talk hole", everyone looked over at the crazy guy laughing to himself in the corner. And all I did was look back at them and say "talk hole". Who knows, maybe I'll get time off for disability if they think I'm losing it. Have a great rest of your week, all.
I met Adrienne Barbeau at a Comic Expo last year. She was incredibly sweet and very tiny. I shared with her that every hetero male I knew on high school had the biggest crush on her then. She told me, "Honey, you have no idea. I'm fully aware." She signed a Creepshow poster for me with, " Oh, Patrick! Where would you be without me to take care of you? Love, Adrienne "
So, Creepshow for sure is a great 80s horror classic.
I'd also suggest An American Werewolf in London, The Thing, Gremlins, Evil Dead, The Shining, Pet Semetary, Aliens, The Fly, Fright Night, Children of the Corn, Hellraiser, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Dead of Winter, and Predator. There were a lot of great horror/thriller films from that era.
LOVED Fright Night!!! Can you imagine how thrilled I was to learn that the cinematographer we hired for my movie NO CLUE was the same cinematographer?!?! Jan Keisser!
Nerd on! Love your show.
You said “honkin’”!!! I use that adjective a lot. I was so delighted to hear it, I shouted the word aloud. 😃
Glad your nose cleared. It’s the best when cold symptoms abate. 👍🏻 Thanks for the Rambler!

Oh yes, The ‘Burbs was god one.
What I think you need is more clean family movies like, like Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. It's not horror, it's a fantasy musical.
Full disclosure, I discovered this movie today, and can't wait to share it with everyone.
Saturday the 14th and April Fool’s Day are a couple good movies. I really liked The Fog. You sounded ok to me. Love the MWR. Thank you

Try Tourist Trap for a really over the top 80s horror. I think it might be Canadian! The first 15 minutes alone are mental.
Duly noted! Thanks.

Perhaps a Q to be A'd in an upcoming MWR.
Thanks!

On my screen; your microphone is green, not grey, olive drab green.
Yes, I refer to the colour as 'boiled olive'.

That's very cool. I'm sure he had some cool stories. Especially working with Roddy McDowall. Who I just realized was also in Dead of Winter.
"Fudge and guacamole" is my new favorite clean curse.
