Movie Time: The Mandolorian & Grogu

Last week, I did a Movie Time post on a movie type thing that was suppose to be a TV series, Good Omens 3: The Finale.

Well, looks like we're doing it again. 

As we venture off to a galaxy far, far away....

As we follow an armored warrior and his young protege to bring evil doers to justice....

As we write another blog post of...

It's Movie Time!

Directed by Jon Favreau and starring (mostly/kind of/sort of) Pedro Pascal, it's The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Andrea really wanted to see the erstwhile "baby Yoda" on the big screen.  

The movie is just like the Mandalorian TV show but it's bigger, louder and I can't fucking turn on the closed captioning.  

The bounty hunter Din Djarin, also known as the Mandalorian, and his foundling Grogu work having a steady gig going with the New Republic, hunting down Imperial warlords. 

Commander Ward has a new warlord in the crosshairs of the New Republic, the mysterious Commander Coin. No one knows where he is or what he even looks like.

It seems, however, the Hutt Twins have some intel they will share. 

In exchange for someone rescuing their dear nephew Rotta, son of Jabba the Hutt.  

Ward's mission is for Din Djarin to do just that.  

So it's SOP for the Mandalorian.  To do one thing (capture Coin), he needs to do another thing (save Rotta). There never seems to be a straight line between points A and B for Din Djarin.   

So it's off into space with a new Razor Crest ship to the planet Shakari where the Mandalorian finds out Rotta has been consripted by the crime lord Janu to fight in his gladiator games.

Unlike super blobby Jabba, Rotta is one jacked Hutt. 

Rotta is also one reluctant Hutt.  He doesn't want to go back home. Aunt and Uncle Hutt aren't concerned for his safety. They want to kill him themselves and take over Jabba's criminal empire.   

And he's actually enjoying the gladiator games. Rotta gets to kick butt to the approving roar of the crowd.  

Din Djarin discovers that Janu has no intention of letting that go on and has arranged for Rotta's next match to end in Rotta's death.

So....

Either the Mandalorian does NOT rescue Rotta and he dies due to Janu's treachery. 

Or...

The Mandalorian DOES rescue Rotta and he still dies due to the Hutt Twins' treachery.  

But Din Djarin catches a break and discovers Janu is Commander Coin. 

So that'll save a step, eh?

In a knock down drag out battle with a bunch of alien beasties, the Mandalorian and Grogu (who has gotten really good with using the force) rescue Rotta and capture Coin and everyone returns to the New Republic base. 

Ward isn't happy. The Hutt twins will be pissed.

The Mandalorian doesn't care. The ultimate objective was to find and capture Coin and he did that. 

So there! 

But....

The Hutt Twins are indeed pissed and things go very badly for Din Djarin.  

Captured by the Hutts, stripped of his helmet (Hey! Pedro Pacal IS under there!) and cast into a pit with a very large (AND poisonous) white snake (like the goddam King Kong of snakes), can the Mandalorian survive his ordeal? 

Can Grogu save the his mentor, his erstwhile father, from certain death?  

The rest of the film is the Mandalorian's struggles to take survive and take down the Hutt Twins and kill them.

They saw him without his helmet. They must die!

And rules are rules, man! 

And Grogu is charming (and so CUTE!) as he wordlessly flits about doing various Force tricks to keep his daddy alive.  

Din Djarin may think he's a protective dad for the little baby Yoda but Grogu spends as much time saving the Mandalorian from shit. Sometimes Grogu has the nearly exasperated expression that he's gotta step in and save Din Djarin's ass again.

Ward shows up with a New Republic squadron to take on the Hutt Twins's forces to give us a good ol' fashioned Star Wars dogfight. Stuff blows up real good! 

Everything wraps up with the Mandalorian on the Razor Crest teaching Grogu how to drive.  That's so cute! 

The "It's That Person Who Was In That Thing" Department

Wait! I did NOT see Martin Scorsese in the opening credits, did I? Yes.  Yes I did.   

The legendary film director provides the voice of Hugo Turant, an alien shopkeeper on Shakari who would really like to just keep running his business and NOT lose his head so he really wishes the Mandalorian would stop busting his balls for intel on what's going on.   

NERD CRUSH ALERT!  From the Alien franchise and Ghostbusters and Galaxy Quest, it's Sigourney Weaver as Commander Ward of the New Republic.   

There has been some criticism that The Mandalorian and Grogu was nothing more than episodes of the TV series strung together for a movie. Nothing of significance or importance happens.

I beg to differ: The Mandalorian teaches Grogu how to drive.

One reviewer I saw observed that maybe the episodic sructure is the point. After all, the original Star Wars also had an episodic plot structure designed to emulate classic movie serials.   

Basically, The Mandalorian and Grogu provides some good ol' dumb fun in service to kick ass action sequences with weird alien monsters. 

As best I could see.

I will make the complaint that with so many sequences taking place at night or in a cave or in a cave at night, this movie can be bloody hard to see.  

The movie has a distinctive soundtrack from composer Ludwig Göransson who provided music for the TV series.  Göransson uses some classic symphonic bombast coupled with proto-Western themed music cues as well as some kooky 1980's style electronic music. 

SIDE NOTE: Is that really Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin AKA The Mandalorian?

Well, it's his voice so that's consistent but the body on screen is sometimes Brendan Wayne or Lateef Crowder who both get screen credits for their role in bringing the Mandalorian to life.

All in all, I do agree that  The Mandalorian and Grogu is perhaps too lacking in depth and importance to be brought from our TV sceens to movie screens.  But it is a solid outing of action and adventure. It's fun and stuff blows up real good! 

And Grogu is just TOO! DAMN! CUTE!!!

Star Trekking: McKinley Station

What pray tell is McKinley Station? 

McKinley Station is the space dock in Earth orbit where the Enterprise was repaired and refitted after damages sustained fighting the Borg in "The Best of Both Worlds".

McKinley Station is also my way of saying Star Trekking is taking a bit of a rest. 

Coming up later this morning is a bonus Movie Time post on The Mandolorian and Grogu.

What? Did I, an avowed Star Trek nerd, lower myself to watch a...a... Star Wars movie?

Yes.  Yes I did.

I blame my wife. Andrea loves Grogu.

And I gotta say, he is just too gosh darn CUTE!!!

But never fear. Even as I tread into the valley of the shadow of George Lucas, I will alway  root for the home team.

Next week, Star Trekking returns for the 7th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. 

In couple of hours, I will venture forth to a galaxy far, far away.

And if anyone has a problem with that, in the immortal words of Wil Wheaton, "Live long and suck it!" 

Movie Time: Remarkably Bright Creatures

What drives me to watch a particular movie?

Any number of factors may pique my interest such as the plot, the themes of the movie, the genre or a specific actor.

Or in the case of today's film:

The octopus.

It's...Movie Time! 

Last Saturday, Andrea and I decided to take in a recent release called Remarkably Bright Creatures.  Based on a book of the same name from 2022, the movie star Sally Field and Lewis Pullman as well as Alfred Molina...

As the octopus. 

Marcellus is an octopus who resides in an aquarium in Sowell Bay, Washington.

Add the word "relunctantly" in front of "resides".  

In the opening narration, Marcellus bemoans his fate, counting down his days in captivity, forced to live next to fish he does't like and barely tolerating the noisy children who bedevil him through the glass.  

Of all the inferior humans he is forced to put up with, he supposes he minds the cleaning lady the least. 

Tova Sullivan is an elderly widow who works as a night janitor at the aquarium.  Tova is a misanthrope of sorts, preferring solitude and quiet to noisy bothersome people. 

She never recovered from the loss of her son Erik from years before and the recent death of her husband has made her even more withdrawn from people.

Tova does talk to Marcellus.

One night while Tova saves Marcellus from an escape attempt gone awry, she injures her ankle and needs to take time off. Someone will need to fill in for her as the night janitor.

Which brings Cameron Cassmore into the story.

Cameron arrived in Sowell Bay the day before in a rattling rust bucket of a van that has decided this picturesque community on the Pacific Coast is a lovely place for an old van to die.

The van and all it's debris is all Cameron has left of his mother who recently died.  He's on a quest back to her home town to find the father he didn't know he had.  

Cameron also doesn't have the money to fix the van so he needs a job.

Luckily the aquarium needs a night janitor.

Although she's supposed to be staying off her foot, Tova goes to the aquarium at night to check on Marcellus.  

Cameron is freaked out when Marcellus makes a new escape attempt.  Tova helps Cameron return the octopus to his tank and begins mentoring him on how to do the frickin' job of night janitor.  

Marcellus recognizes that both Tova and Cameron are broken people and thinks he can help them. In the time he has left.

Marcellus is dying and wants to die in the ocean he came from.

I am not going to begin to summarize what happens next as the lives of these two people continue to intersect with each other and with Marcellus as they fumble their way to something resembling recovery from their respective losses.   

There's a lot of sweet moments as the pair bond. Tova actually goes out among people to support Cameron at a local tavern's open mike night where Cameron sings and plays guitar. 

There's a funny bit where Tova uses Cameron's phone as a PHONE to CALL a prospective girlfriend to set him up on a date. Young people and their texting, am I right?

Cameron and Tova form a near familial relationship that takes a turn to the very real.  It's a plot twist that is rather contrived but damn, by the time it lands, both this young man and this elderly lady have earned their closure.  

The "It's That Person Who Was In That Thing" Department 

Lewis Pullman as Cameron Cassmore was in  Thunderbolts* as Robert "Bob" Reynolds AKA The Sentry. Man, it is weird how much Lewis looks like his dad, Bill Pullman.    

Look, Miles O'Brien from Star Trek has gotten old. When did that happen? Colm Meaney is Ethan Mack, the proprietor of a Shop-Way grocery store in Sowell Bay. Colm's Ethan is such a chill, affable soul and threatens to steal a movie that has Oscar winner Sally Field (and an octupus) in it.

A word about Sally Field. It's disconcerting to see her playing an elderly woman but she clearly still has the spark she had in such films as Steel Magnolias, Soapdish, Mrs. Doubtfire and Smokey & the Bandit. Her performance as Tova is simply wonderful, navigating humor and tragedy, joy and sadness.  

I hope this movie is remembered at the end of the year when awards season rolls around because Sally Field deserves be recongnized for her work in as Tova Sullivan.

And we can't forget the octupus.  Aldred Molina's performance as the voice of Marcellus is remarkable. Molina conveys Marcellus' smug sense of superiority as well as the growing depth of his fascination and concern for the cleaning lady and her new friend.   

I suppose Remarkably Bright Creatures can be said to tell a story we've seen hundreds of times before.  Two vastly different people who are actually not that different, both broken, both discovering in each other the means to some form of healing.  

But this well-worn tale is well told with great performances and a very unique perspective, that of the octopus.  

Marcellus concludes the film and his narration with this observation:  "Humans, for the most part, are dull and blundering, but occasionally, you can be remarkably bright creatures."

More Movie Time with some new stuff from the Star Wars universe! 

Your Friday Video Link: We Got Our Boy Back!

Yesterday afternoon, I logged into You Tube to find some music or a podcast to listen to while I was working and immediately saw this video.

Wait! John Reardon, Charlie Hudson his own bad self, is back on Hudson & Rex?

Really?!?!

I wanted to believe it but I didn't want to be suckered in by some AI shit.

Excitedly, I showed the video to my wife.

"Andrea! Look at this! Tell me if you think this is real?" 

She thought it looked real but like me, she's wary of being taken in by AI.

A quick Google confirmed what we were looking at was real. 

Various reputable sources (Hollywood Reporter, TV Insider, etc) were all reporting the news: John Reardon would be returning to Hudson & Rex for season 9 this fall.  

Our son Dean heard the news and texted us, "You got your boy back!"  

We lost our boy at the start of season 7 when John Reardon had to take time off to receive treatment for throat cancer.

Charlie Hudson was written out of the rest of season, off on a mission to save his brother in South America.   

While John Reardon finished his treatment and made a full recovery, the show's producers decided not to bring him back.

Season 7 ends with news that Charlie was shot and he fell in a river.  His body was not recovered and was presumed dead.

Sarah was devastated.

She and Charlie were living together in domestic bliss and making all the Hudson & Rex fans feel mushy inside.  We shipped them as "Charah".  

Here's a clip of Charlie and Sarah being all warm and cozy at home while Charlie teaches Rex how to gamble.

How did Hudson & Rex go on with out Hudson?  Most of season 7 saw Sarah, Jesse and Joe doing field work, filling in for the absent Charlie Hudson.

Season 8 brought on Luke Robetrs as (I am NOT making this up) Detective Mark Hudson.

Not related to Charlie. Just a coinkiidink that his last name is also Hudson.

After running on Canadian TV last fall, season 8 will be available to American audiences on UP TV starting June 11th.

Andrea and I have no intention of watching this. 

Apparently this was a sentiment shared by a lot of Canadians who made their dissatisfaction known.  

We don't want "Marah".

WE WANT "CHARAH!"

And it looks like, as Dean said, "we got our boy back!"  

In fhe mean time, here's a bonus Your Friday Video Link which looks at the Art of Dog Acting.

Dogs don't know they're in a movie?

That is that for this week's Your Friday Video Link.

We're back tomorrow for Movie Time as we go from dogs to sea creatures.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another. 

Dave-El's Spinner Rack: Action Comics

One of my comic book buying indulgences is sampling facsimile editions of old comics.

These books do not just reprint stories but present the whole package as it originally appeared with ads and letter columns.  Other than the much higher price point, these books appear exactly has they did back in the day.

Normally these facsimiles are done to spotlight something of siginficance such as a first appearance by a character.  

So I imagine my surprise when I saw this facsimile book on the shelves at Acme Comics a couple of months ago.

The book in question is  Action Comics #454. I posted about buying this issue off the rack over 50 years ago.  

The lead story is "Superman's Energy Crisis!" by Cary Bates, Curt Swan and Tex Blaisdell.   

The Toyman is running around on a crime spree rampage which shouldn't pose much of a problem for the Man of Steel.

Except...

The dude is tired.

Not like emotionally or spiritually tired, like "Man, I can't deal with the Toyman's shit" levels of tired.

No, he's physically exhausted and is forced to consume mass quantities of food to just try to stay awake

And that's just not cutting it! 

Man, I know how you feel, Supes!

But why are you feeling this way?

It seems there's some wonky shit going on at the center of the Earth that's eating up solar energy.

I still have a question: why of all comic books in their vast library did DC Comics deem Action Comics#454 worthy of a facsimile edition?   

Maybe the distinguishing feature for this book is the Atom back up,   "The Campus That Swallowed Itself!"

A sci-fi doo-dad causes Ivy University to be choked by out of control ivy.

Until the Atom saves the day.  

This slight trifle by Marty Pasko and Jose Delbo is not the motivating factor in producing this facsimile edition.

Why Action Comics#454? 

My search of the internet found a lot of people asking the same question but with no real definitive answers.   

The best guess I found was the facsmile was released on April 1st and the abusrdist cover by Bob Oksner was apropo for April Fool's Day.

Speaking of fools, I have spent YEARS referting to artist Bob Oksner as Bob Oskner.  I am only NOW after more than 50 years that I've been foolishly getting his name wrong.  

My apologies to Mr.Oksner.  

Doctor Who Does AND Does Not Return

It's been a minute since I did a Doctor Who post.

For the first time since leaving HBO Max, there will be a new streaming home for modern Doctor Who.

Starting June 11th, the series that ran from 2005 to 2022, ranging from Christopher Eccleston to Jodie Whittaker will return to AMC+.   

This does NOT include the series from 2023 to 2025 which for now is still on Disney+.    

I also do not know if this will include any of the ancillary Doctor Who series such as Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

But the main thing is modern Doctor Who finally has a platform for streaming.

AMC+ was having a sale to subscribe for a whole year for $30 so I went ahead and signed up while that discount price was available.  

No Doctor Who yet but I've caught up on some Law & Order UK which features Bradley Walsh (13th Doctor companion Graham) and Freema Ageyman (10th Doctor companion Martha Jones).  

AMC+ also has the classic HBO series Tales From the Crypt which I've sampled some episodes.  That's been a weird nostalgic trip back to the 1980's.  

As for Doctor Who, another question I don't have an answer to is will AMC+ get any new episodes?

Perhaps a more pertinent question: with there be any new episodes?

The internet began blowing up yesterday with tales of woe regarding any new Who.

Ostensibly, there is supposed to be a Christmas special for this year.  

Unless the rumor mill is on to something and it's being delayed to Easter 2027.

The source for this rumor is the British tabloid The Sun so a generously sized grain of salt is called for.

The Radio Times shared news of this report but has received no confirmation from the BBC.  

Speculation runs amuck as to why this Doctor Who special would be delayed from Christmas 2026 to Easter 2027.

One reason is money.  

Without a production partner, the BBC will have to pay for the whole thing.  

Is it a matter of the BBC's coffers being light or whatever plans Russell T Davies has for special are just too big or both? 

The main obstacle, according to The Sun, is finding someone to play the Doctor.  

Whoever Billie Piper is supposed to be, it's not the 16th Doctor.

I could see getting any actor to sign up to play the Doctor now would be tricky given all the uncertainty surrounding the franchise.

Starting with who's in charge.

RTD is point man for the special but will he continue with any kind of series that follows?  There's been some dissatisfaction with Russell's leadership of the franchise during the Disney+ years.  

But if not Russell, then who? Who would want to come in to run Doctor Who without a secure commitment from the BBC on what's to come next, with or without a partner?  

In the current television production environment, can the BBC deliver a solid Doctor Who series without help?   

We don't know nothing, man! 

But we do know that Chris, David, Matt, Peter and Jodie will be available once more on AMC+ starting June 11th.

Classic Doctor Who is available on Tubi, the streaming channel via Roku and Amazon Prime and there are select episodes on You Tube.

So while the future of Doctor Who is uncertain, it's past has a home.   

Tuesday TV Touchbase Too: The Boys

And we're back with the Tuesday TV Touchbase Too! 

We've got another series finale to write about, the end of The Boys.

I will cover some specifics on the final episode so be warned:

SPOILERS! 

The series debuted in 2019 but I didn't catch up to season 1 until the next year. It was 2020, I was stuck at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic and I was laid off from my job. I had time on my hands and used some it to catch up on some TV shows.

The Boys is about the real implications of living in a world with super heroes.  The concept of super heroes intersecting the real world had been done before in DC's Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons as well as Marvel's Squadron Supreme by Mark Gruenwald.  

But what The Boys did was push the boundaries of ethics, morality and good taste past their breaking points.

In the world of The Boys, super heroes are not at all heroic but are micro managed and monetized corporate resources.  These Supes (as they are called) spend more time making movies and music videos than they do in any actual super heroic activity.  

Supes are on a downward spiral of selfish greed and hedonistic pleasure. Some plot and scheme their way to elevated levels of political and even spiritual power.

Take Homelander, a Superman expy with over the top Capt. America branding. Over the course of the series, he becomes more and more obsessed with his image as an elevated avatar of superiority, his growing disconnect from humanity.

By the 5th season, Homelander thinks he's God and he's gonna make people believe it or they can just die. 

Meanwhile, he has taken a special Vought compound called V1 that confers immortality. Which just adds to his god complex.

Billy Butcher, the profane misanthropic leader of "the Boys", grows ever more disconnected from his humanity in a ruthless quest to destory Homelander once and for all.  Even if he has to kill all the Supes to do that.

Even the super powered Annie and Komiko who are on his team.

As the final episode begins, the Boys are dealing with the loss of one of their own. Frenchie was killed by Homelander in the previous episode.  Frenchie died protecting Komiko.  

The gang has gathered around to bury Frenchie.  Hughie reads from Frenchie's will.  Frenchi used the word "asshole" in his will like a lot. 

Komiko was the subject of a radiation experiment to augment her powers with a special energy burst that will strip a Supes' powers.

It's their last and only chance to stop Homelander.

The super intelligent Sister Sage, now on the run from Homelander, starts talking shit about Frenchie which pisses Komiko off and triggers her energy burst. 

The power blast works and now Sister Sage is as stupid as a regular human.  So she leaves to go to Harry Potter World in Orlando. 

The Boys have one chance to take out Homelander.  He's scheduled to make an address to the nation from the White House Oval Office on Easter Sunday to announce he is God.

The Boys have a plan to infiltrate the White House and attack Homelander.

This being The Boys, the plan is all fucked up from jump and heads straight into the shitter.  

Luckily, unknown to the team, they may have an ally in the White House.

Let's talk about Ashley Barrett for a moment. 

Right from the very start as an executive for the Vought Corporation, she has been an obsequious toady in service to the company and the Supes, perpetually apprehensive that any single misstep will get her killed.  Somehow she survives to Season 5 and in a bizarre sequence of events has become President of the United States.

She also gained super powers that manifested like this:

• her hair fell out.
• on the back of her bald skull, a second face grew.
• that face has telepathic powers.

Ashley and her 2nd face do not get along.  Ashley has been such a snivelling syncophant for so long now and her 2nd face complains that Ashley should grow a pair and do the right thing for once.

SPOILER: Ashley does the right thing and surprisingly does NOT die. Although there will be consequences.

ANOTHER SPOILER: elsewhere, Annie throws down with the Deep where she blasts him into the ocean where he is eaten by sharks. Sea life is pissed at the Deep for allowing a leaky oil pipeline to kill millions of fish. It's a fate the Deep really deserved.  

Anyway, Homelander is giving his nationally televised speech, bringing good tidings of great joy that he is now God.  

Someone had written a nice speech about Homelander being a loving, benevolent god but Homelander can't stay on script and would rather talk about those that will not believe in him and how much he's gonna smite them, etc etc.

Threats are more fun than promises, am I right? (Li'l Donnie knows what I'm talkin' about.)   

Billy Butcher and Komiko make it to the Oval Office as does Homelander's super powered son, Ryan.  

Ryan has picked a side.

And it ain't dear ol' dad's.

With the cameras still rolling, we get a knock down drag out in the Oval Office before Komiko can unleash her energy burst.

Caught in the blast radius, Billy and Ryan lose their powers.  So does Homelander. 

It's so funny when Homelander squints real hard to make heat vision happen and it doesn't. 

Or when he hops up weakly expecting to fly and doesn't. 

Billy has the moment we've waited 5 seasons to get: he beats the unholy shit out of Homelander. 

A lot.

The cameras are still rolling with a battered and bloodied Homelander begging Billy Butcher for his life, promising anything not to be killed.

Including sucking Billy's dick. 

Whatever my expectations for the series finale, I only had one that was non-negotiable.

1) Homelander needs to die.

2) It needs to be a really gross death.

3) And he dies in abject humiliation.   

Billy obliges with a crowbar jammed into Homelander's forhead and prying open his skull, shredding brains everywhere.  

Across America, everyone walks away from their TV sets, totally disavowed of their hero and would be god.

Homelander died alone, powerless and unloved. 

But we're not done yet.

Even with his revenge on Homelander complete, Billy Butcher is not satisfied.  Stan Edgar has returned to lead Vought once more and Billy knows the next Homelander will inevitably rise up and all this shit will start up again.

Billy Butcher prepares to unleash the Supe killing virus.

Hughie Campbell shoots Billy who dies in Hughie's arms.  

I never expected Billy to survive this series.

And kind of thought it would be Hughie who would need to take him out.  

The gang gathers for another funeral, this one for Billy.  It's hard to come up with nice things to say about the departed.

Billy Butcher's tombstone sums him up best:

The episode's coda gives us some happy endings:

• Komiko with a poodle in her lap enjoying some beignets at a Parisian cafe as she had hoped she would do (with Frenchie) when all of this was over. She smiles wistfully. 
• M.M is reunited with his wife and daughter with Ryan along as an adopted son.
• Hughie and Annie are a couple, working in his dad's old computer tech store and she's pregnant, 8 or 9 months from the looks of it.   

Series finales are hard to pull off but I think for the most part The Boys checks off enough boxes to deliver for me a mostly satisfying conclusion.

No matter what, Homelander needed to die as he did and really, I knew Billy Butcher would not survive this.  Even Billy himself did not expect he would.

The rest of the internet seems divided with assessment ranging from "spectacular" to "pathetic".

Elon Musk said he didn't like the ending, then admited he hadn't watched it but from what he heard about it, the ending sounded "fake" and "gay".  

Elon, try to follow this: Homelander was NOT the hero of the story. He was the BAD guy.  You see?

...

...

No, Elon doesn't it get it.  

There's a scene where Homelander flies a white nationalist tech nerd billionaire into space...without a space suit.  Gee, I wonder who that was supposed to represent?

Hey, Elon, what did you think about that scene, eh?

...

...

...

No, Elon doesn't it get it.  

That is that for this Tuesday TV Touchbase.

Next week: the series finale of Hacks! 

And a Tuesday TV Touchbase Too with Taylor Tomlinson.   

Until next time, remember to be good to one another and try to keep it down in there, would ya? I'm trying to watch TV over here.  

Oi! Fuck off you c***ts!
