Taskmaster is my current special interest. This new season looks like it could be a good starting point for Americans. (I have been recommend Series 4 to start, after which I suggest watching 11, then 16 or 19)

An index card hand-lettered by my grandfather in the 1960s? Or what my brain is yelling silently ALL THE TIME

Another day, another instance of Apple Music hallucinating that "Sincere" by The Buffalo Bills (Original Broadway Cast) is the same as “Sincere” by The Buffalo Bills (Motion-Picture Soundtrack). Madness.

“Unfortunately for patriarchy, its foundations are set deep in a morass of horrible unsustainable lies, while feminism's foundations are set on a bedrock of deep and sustainable truths.”

Song of the Day: “I May Never Get to Heaven (1961)” by Wanda Jackson. Patsy Cline is of course the queen but one croaked half syllable (at 1:31) might make me place this one recording above Cline’s entire catalog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-0S...

In 1943 my dad was living free in San Diego, with a government-issued ID saying that despite being of Japanese descent he was exempted from being interned. ICE would have snatched him up without a second thought.

SCTV is on Internet Archive if you'd like to enjoy the early work of Catherine O'Hara and her fellow sketch comedy gods. S1: archive.org/details/sctv... S2: archive.org/details/sctv... S3: archive.org/details/19-m... S4-5: archive.org/details/66-s... S6 + Cinemax: archive.org/details/sctv... #TVSky

I saw AFTER HOURS (1985) nine times in the theater. Scorsese’s only Cannes win for Best Director. Catherine O’Hara’s laugh should have won her an Oscar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsKa...

Catherine O’Hara came in to our office to guest on @bullseye.maximumfun.org years ago. I don’t think I’ve met a more delightful person. Hilarious, beautiful, wild, sharp. Just everything you’d wish. An absolute genius who will be dearly missed. youtu.be/TLQeJceRaJk

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

Catherine O’Hara as Brooke Shields on the Farm Film Report. (Just before blowing up real good)

Song of the day: “Sucker Punch” by Sigrid www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uHt...

Although I mostly remember Out of Africa winning the Oscar for Art Direction over The Color Purple, Ran, and BRAZIL.

Old enough to remember The Color Purple’s 11 Academy Award nominations
