Today I’m going to do a little something that’s different. It’s not exactly a movie or show even though this character has both of those. But with this article I want to highlight the character and why I've loved him so much from the beginning.
I’m not really into comic books. Meaning I don’t read them or buy them. So when I first saw Loki I saw him in the "Avengers" movie. Now, if the writing was supposed to make me hate him, then they failed because with me it’s the opposite. To me, Loki was always misunderstood, and I will argue that point with anyone.
I guess you can say I get a little overprotective with Loki. I’m the same way with Harley (do I really have to point out that I mean Harley Quinn?), but you already know that so back to my boy. If you’ve seen the Marvel movies you know and understand that Loki has been through a lot, and wasn’t who he seemed to be at first. Something like I said that I knew all along.
Now, "Infinity Wars". I don’t talk about the beginning of that movie, because I’ll get upset so let’s move on. My mood all changed when I found out what they were doing and giving Loki his own series on Disney+ and still played by the amazing Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki magnificently I might add. No spoilers for the series but again, just trust me that I was right about my boy all along and hopefully with the series you’ll see and understand that.

Yes I’m back with another old movie, that maybe you haven’t even heard of before. I know I hadn’t until it was recommended to me by Mels. She’s good about that. I guess it’s because she knows I like stuff that is different.
Well anyways this movie is called "Drop Dead Fred". It starts off about a little kid and her imaginary friend, and yes you guessed it, his name is Drop Dead Fred. An unusual name for an imaginary friend, but the main point here is that this friend of hers likes to get her into trouble. So much trouble that her mom gets fed up and tells her no more and locks Fred away.
Confused yet? Well you just might have to watch to understand what I mean by that. Don’t worry though, years later when she’s grown up, they meet again and trouble ensues. Fred doesn’t quite understand why his best friend looks different though, or what she could possibly need from him anymore since she is all grown up now. In the end they both learn valuable lessons and maybe that sometimes it’s alright to let go of childish things. Not because you want to but maybe because you no longer need them.

Oh where to start! I LOVED Drop Dead Fred but then I was already a huge fan of Rik Mayall back from his crazy "Young Ones" days where he played a punk rocker with a group of general drop outs and for whatever reason it just made me laugh. The Young Ones even did a charity record with a cover of Cliff Richard's song Living Doll WITH CLIFF HIMSELF (video below and pretty much most Americans will probably have no idea what I am talking about.
Drop Dead Fred takes this a character very familiar to Rik's role in the Young Ones but adapts it for children. What if imaginary friends were real and wanted to cause trouble? What if parents could lock the invisible friend away - only to have them reappear when the "prison" is opened but the child is now an adult? That's what this movie answers and it does it so well. Full of laughter, feels, and honestly something that almost everyone should be able to relate to, this movie is great for kids and adults alike. Some of the things might be a little dated, but the awesome messages remain!
Rik Mayall sadly passed away in 2014 so won't get to celebrate this movie's 20th Aniversary, but his comedy lives on. If you haven't ever seen this - do yourself a favor and check it out! You won't be sorry!

This is one of those movies that make you go what, when you first hear the title and yes, I’m talking about earth girls are easy. This is a movie you need to watch before you understand it’s not exactly what the title could mean. It’s fun and yes very cheesy but sometimes a little cheesy can be good.
This movie starts off with alien’s crash landing into no other place except the valley and into a swimming pool no less, found by two valley girls that then decide to help them blend in, they take them for a makeover and make them look more human, which works like a charm. Deciding they should all go out on the town for the night that’s when craziness ensues, and so does romance.
This movie might be one of those that you’ve never heard of before or like me, just came across by accident but trust me it’s definitely worth watching.

June 3 2001 Alan Ball, who went on to create the "True Blood" series, introduced us to the Fisher family in the most unusual way. The Fisher family business is a funeral home so we get plunged into that world with the death of the patriarch of the family on his way to pick up his son Nate (Peter Krause) from the airport. Nate and his brother David (Michael C. Hall) take over the family business. Lauren Ambrose, Frances Conroy, Rachel Griffiths, and Matthew St. Patrick round out the cast. Also appearing is Richard Jenkins as the father. Even though he dies the first few minutes, he recurs throughout the series in visions and flashbacks.
The very core of the series is the way it deals with death. It is more than just a business. It is a fact of life. The way it is handled, the way we grieve, the way we process. The cold open varies in many ways as each death is portrayed. You come to expect a death in every opening so the creators start toying with the viewer. You may see someone clutching their chest and thinking they are next but they end up fine and the death comes from someone unexpected and out of left field.
"Six Feet Under" is a little out of my wheelhouse since it’s a drama. Usually, I do horror or comedy. Usually, a drama would have to be quirky. Not just quirky but downright weird. Like "Twin Peaks" weird. Not that "Six Feet Under" isn't without it quirks. I guess a series based around a family running a funeral home can be considered odd. So, I guess that sets it just inside my genre specifications. And of course, nearly all shows nowadays have a little humor in them. This is no exception. Of course, it comes unexpected circumstances and times but that's all part of the Fisher Family vibe.
SFU lasted 5 seasons, totaling 63 episodes and one of the most profound, spectacular finales ever filmed. The acting and writing is top notch. The only bad thing I could possibly say about this series is there was one episode (one single episode) where things took a dark turn that I didn't like. It felt very out of its element and not like the rest of the series at all. Those who watched it can probably guess which one. The ones that didn't, well, I won't spoil that bit for you but you'll know it when you get there.
Admittedly, I was late to the party with this one. I didn't actually start watching until years after it finished. On the plus side, it allowed me to binge it all in a matter of weeks instead of taking 5 years to finish it all-- and that’s counting rewatching the episodes with commentaries! Isn't that much better? Do I have any more commentary lovers here? Be warned, these DVDs were made before they commonly released. So, a few have future spoilers. Watch the series before going back for commentaries.
If you haven't watched this show, what are you waiting for? I waited entirely too long to start it. If you have watched it, isn't it time for a rewatch?

Jenn -I’m not really big on horror movies, or horror anything honestly. That’s mostly Dave's forte, but for this article I want to talk about Chucky. I know-- horror, right? It’s crazy but this little killer doll I actually like and he doesn’t make me jump like other horror stuff does. So that’s automatically a good thing. I actually enjoy all the Chucky movies from the original through "Seed of Chucky". I didn’t see the remake, because honestly, I prefer the serial killer soul idea instead of a malfunctioning chip. I’m sure we’ve all seen or at least heard of the Chucky movies at this point. If not, the premise is its basically serial killer dies, and ends up in a Good Guy doll, a popular doll with little kids. The first three movies follow Andy and his adventures with Chucky, more like nightmares. "Bride of Chucky" is actually my favorite, not sure why but I love the idea of Tiffany and the thought there’s truly someone out there for everyone. Now "Seed of Chucky" was maybe the cheesiest. I mean a son really, but I still enjoyed it. Now, if you still by some chance haven’t seen or heard of this famous killer doll you should check him out, even if you’re not a huge horror fan. I mean, look at me. Also, as a side note, they’re working on a Chucky television series, not quite sure how it will turn out, but I’ll definitely give it a few episodes.

Jenn -One season wonders. We all know them and at some point, we’ve all loved them, including me. "Forever" was one of those amazing one hit wonders where I’ll be left wishing for just one more season. This show premiered some time ago (2014 to be exact) but just wow. I guess for its time it just didn’t grab the audience that I think it could have grabbed today. Ask yourself this- would you want to live forever, never dying and leaving everyone you ever loved behind. Well, this show explores that and before you say it’s been done and that’s boring, nope not "Forever". It actually did this whole living forever trope right. This story follows Henry, our chief medical examiner who seems to be obsessed with everything dying. I mean he even carries a journal of every way he’s ever died. He's trying to figure out a way to break his curse, as he calls it, and finally be able to die. That is what Henry wants, that is until he meets Detective Martinez, and seems to find a reason to live again after two hundred years. What happens to these two? And what kind of problems arise? Well, you’ll just have to watch this one season wonder and see. Because although this show is old, it’s one that few have heard of, so no spoilers here.

She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways. Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team! Dave -Take "Castle" and "Sherlock" and roll them together and you get "Forever". A cop and a medical examiner with a keen eye for details team up to solve murders. Some may be made to look like accidents or suicides, which the cops will want to close soon and blow off but the M.E. will look a little closer and see something most people would miss. He should. He has seen a lot in his 200 years of being alive. One mystery we have to tap into is what happened to his wife. We know she would have aged while he stayed young, or looking young, but there has to be more to it than that. And those layers will slowly be peeled back to reveal a little more as the story progresses. He can be a little more on the daring side even though he's not invincible. He can die. And has died. Several times. But then his body disappears and is reborn in water. That could make things a little harder to explain to his new partners. After all, if someone told you they have been alive for 200 years and died a bunch of times to come back again, wouldn't you think they were a bit crazy?

The One With Friends In The Spotlight - A Feature By Dave Christy and Melanie Newton (With Giveaway)5/27/2021
Dave -
"Six of One". "Insomnia Cafe". "Friends Like Us". All of these were early working titles for the hit sitcom "Friends". You could call it a comedic match made in heaven-- if heaven was a television set. September 1994 would bring a relative group of unknowns together for a new show. This unlikely bunch already had a handful of failed shows between them, so all bets were being placed against them since they were all involved in the same show. This little show that could had a very powerful motor as the driving force behind it. The Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions team had previously brought us a 6season run of HBO's premiere comedy series "Dream On". Being a big fan of that series, as soon as I read that in the new fall lineup edition of TV Guide I was immediately hooked. I knew I had to check it out.
Starting its run in the Thursday at 8:30 slot, sandwiched between "Mad About You" and "Seinfeld", "Friends" was off to a great start raking in over 20 million viewers. Episode 1x07 "The One With The Blackout" is the one that sealed the deal for me. I was tuning in every week anyway but this one remains one of my faves in part of the Blackout Thursday promotion that ran through 3 of the 4 NBC sitcoms that night. It bounced around the Thursday night schedule about halfway through the season moving to 9:30 with the second part of 2 episode arc before becoming the anchor of "Must See TV" to kick off its second season the following year.
Thanks to the juggernaut known as "Friends", Thursday nights at 8:00 became known as the place that shows went to die. If you have a veteran show that you want a reason to cancel? Put it here, ratings will drop like a lead balloon. I actually felt bad for some new series that would have had good potential if they were given half a chance. You can't try out a brand-new series up against that line up. Remember, this is the early and mid-90's. No internet, no on demand, no DVR. If you didn’t watch it live, you missed it. The only chance you had was recording it on your VCR to watch later.
Hey, you know I'm a bonus features guy, right? DVDs, making ofs, interviews, deleted scenes, commentaries, excitement! Well, one excellent thing the "Friends" DVDs did, which I really think more shows and movies should do, is featured extended episodes. Yes, you aren't just getting the same episodes you already watched all season. Some of them added footage back in that had to be cut for one reason or another. Sometimes it’s only a few lines sometimes it can end up being a few minutes. This is also helpful if you have only watched it in syndication. You know they trim those to make more time for commercials, right? "The One With the Thumb" ended up cutting the line "Maybe it’s like a contest? Collect all five." Very memorable line and sorely missed when I re-watched that episode in syndication. 10 seasons and well over 200 episodes later, it had a great run. Personally, I think it kinda started to lull a little bit around Season 7 or 8 but came back through on a strong note on the other side.

Friends is a HUGE deal in this house. Even though the show went off the air before when Emily was only 5, that hasn't stopped her from binging, and rebinging every season! We often reference various episodes, and not just the super common ones either ... I mean come on ... I think EVERYONE knows PIVOT - Friends fan or not!
I can't really say when I started watched it exactly because I was living in England when the first seasons aired and I can assure you it was even harder then to keep up with what was popular in the U.S.
The first season my best friend Helen acquired for some reason on VHS. I can't even remember why, but we decided why the hell not ... and sat down and basically didn't get up other than for snack and bathroom breaks until we were done. I guess on some level I have always been a binger lol. As Dave went over the history, I will pretty much leave it here - with the compilation video of the Friends Advent Calendar that we had on the live show last year - that we ran out of shows for - I think the video speaks volumes!

This show I found later, like WAY later. As in it had already been cancelled for a while later. "Pushing Daisies" was just wow. It never should of been cancelled! Wow, but you know how those things go. Mels first told me about this show and upon hearing about it I was like "What? How did I miss this?"
"Pushing Daisies" is about Ned, a pie maker, and the love of his life, a girl named Chuck. You’re probably thinking "oh no, not another romance". Well it is but with a comedic twist. Finding out as a boy that Ned could bring people back from the dead is shocking especially for a child.
Everything has a price though, right? And so does this. If he brings one person back then a minute later something close by will die. It doesn’t even have to be a person. Could be an animal-- bird, squirrel, fly, etc. There’s also the fact that if he touches them again, then they die again but this time for good. Confusing, right? Well not really but you just might have to watch the show to understand. Now, you’re probably wondering about Chuck, Ned's love right? Well my lips are sealed because spoilers! So if you’re dying to know more, than I highly suggest that you check out this underrated show because you won’t be sorry.

This one has been on my TBV (To Be Viewed) list for a while but I never got around to it Jenn submitted this article for me to review. Lucky for me, it was available a couple different ways on my Roku apps. It ran for 2 seasons but both are shortened seasons so it only totals 22 episodes, which is the length of a regular network season. So in a way, it could be lumped into the "one season wonder" category. I didn't catch it the first time around (2007-2009) because I don't watch a lot of tv, especially network tv. They get cancelled too soon. But that’s a rant for another time!
It really has something for everyone. This show has the comedy aspect, a murder mystery, crime show, and a little romance too. I would say its primarily a comedy/mystery since they have to solve a murder every episode. This small town also has quite a bit of secrets too so be careful who is lurking around the corner. They may overhear you.

Dave says-
A simple word - WandaVision. In my mind, (not a very simple place to place to live..... I overthink, overreact, over plan, and yes, I even overtype. Where was I again? Oh yeah.....) I always saw it as 2 meanings. Like television, but from Wanda -- WandaVision. Or simply as the 2 characters -- WandaVision.
I'm not going to go as into the whole plot in this one as I do with some other articles. There was definitely a lot of talk about this leading up the airing. Then there was a lot of confusion when it aired, especially after the first couple episodes. Also thrown in there, were a lot of mixed reviews. Some loved it. Some hated it. Some didn't know what to make it of it. The first 2 episodes were like contained sitcoms in 1950's style. This is actually one of the things that drew me in. Yes, I'm a huge Marvel fan anyway but I am also a movie/tv geek and loved watching sitcoms as a kid. So, I laughed at the classic sitcom gags and cheesy plots. Something a little different from the MCU but they did their research and teamed with all the right to people to make it happen and made sure it’s done right.
As the episodes progress, we learn a little more about what’s really going on but shhh. So much to say and so little time. Any Marvel aficionado with have an absolute joygasm over the well planted Easter eggs from the MCU and even from the comics. If you are more well versed in the comics history, you may already know how certain plotlines will play out. If you aren't that well versed and need a little explaining, there are plenty of videos on YouTube but since they explain things, they do give away a few things and plant theories which may or may not pan out also. So if you look things up as things are happening, you may get spoiled - and now you can't say you weren't warned.
WandaVision is a wild 9 episode ride, shot in front of a live audience for the sitcom parts. Pretty awesome, right? And actually, done with old school wire effects for the real 50's feel. Very cool! Yes, I am a giant nerd! After all is said and done, there is also the "Marvel Studios: Assembled" documentary on the behind the scenes to delve into. That’s only one episode but it’s nearly an hour long look into what was going on behind the scenes. Definitely a must watch for fans!

I’m always on the hunt for something different and "WandaVision" definitely fits that description. When I first heard they were doing this show I was excited, because boy do I love Wanda and Vision together.
**SPOILERS - This note added by Melanie but she also recognizes that this is her own fault because she refuses to watch the last two Avengers movies and is probably one of only 10 or so people that haven't lol ** When he died in the "Infinity Wars" movie, I could definitely feel my heart break along with Wanda's.
Now, I know what you’re all thinking. These Marvel shows are being overdone, and it’s the same thing again and again but NOPE! Well at least not "WandaVision". It takes a spin on classic series and makes it its own. Now I won’t say which series because that’s part of the fun with each episode trying to guess what old show they’re mimicking now. I also had fun trying to figure out what’s really going on and who’s behind it. But after a few episodes for me it was pretty much obvious, so let me know if you figured it out too!
If you haven’t watched "Wandavision" yet or on the fence about it, don’t be. Trust me this is definitely a series that you’ll enjoy.
