Happy birthday, Tracey Walter. Is he the premier “that guy” actor of his times? A case could be. It was made eloquently by Google when I asked it for a picture of Tracey Walter. I was first shown a picture of Eli Wallach and then one of a person,who might possibly be Tracey Walter,playing a Ferengi.

You don’t even want to know what the turkey Trump pardoned was convicted of.

Remember the time civil war broke out among the Avengers because Olivia Nuzzi was engaged to Captain America, and then he found that Adamantium strap-on in her underwear drawer?

Now Playing: PULP: A FILM ABOUT LIFE, DEATH & SUPERMARKETS. I assume we can all agree that this movie belongs to the lady on the street who asks the interviewer to remind her whether Joe Cocker is Jarvis’s dad or his uncle.

I feel that in everything being written and said about Olivia Nuzzi, people are skirting the really pressing issue, which is that Robert Z’Dar wants his jaw back.

Now Playing: PLURIBUS. Hey, Jeff Hiller! I can’t wait to see how they waste him.

Now Playing: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. I have hopes for this, but I always forget how long it takes Ken Burns to finish clearing his throat at the opening of any big project. The brother is an inspiration and guiding light to every podcaster whose show I start listening to at the 20-minute mark.

I am watching the latest Quimby-centric episode of THE SIMPSONS and thinking that a cartoon show with a strong appeal to children might not be a good place to fill up on Chappaquiddick jokes, so I guess I’m Helen Lovejoy now.

Now Playing: DEVIL IN DISGUISE, starring Michael Chernus as John Wayne Gacy. Some of Gacy’s victims were 14 and 15, so Megyn Kelly and Bari Weiss would tell you they were practically dead of old age by the time Gacy got his hands on them anyway.

Now Playing: BRAZIL. This was the first movie I ever saw in New Orleans, almost 40 years ago. Phyllis has never seen it. After a few minutes, she squinted at Jonathan Pryce and said, “Is it just me, or does he sound like River Cartwright’s grandfather?”

Now Playing: NOUVELLE VAGUE. Kind of fun that Richard Linklater’s commitment to capturing the look of the international art cinema of 65 years ago that he and I both probably discovered on VHS tapes 20-odd years later extends to white subtitles that are only semi-legible against white-ish imagery.

R.I.P. Todd Snider. This one makes’w feel the way Gore Vidal wrote Eleanor Roosevelt’s death made him feel: that’s it, we’re really on our own now.

Now Playing: Apple+’s civics-minded thriller THE LAST FRONTIER. In a surprise cameo, Senator John Fetterman stops by to lecture Jason Clarke on the essential function of the filibuster.

Just saw the trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic. I don’t know what the hell Paul Mazursky has to do with Michael Jackson, but I can hear Oscar knocking on Miles Teller’s door!

Just a random reminder that Kim Davis feeling the awesome power of the Lord is the single most off-putting sight in the world.

Now Playing: CRIMSON PEAK. Just so there’s no misunderstanding, all those times I have said that I’m not picky about stage accents and think that British actors trying to sound American generally sound fine, I wasn’t talking about Charlie Hunnam.

Now Playing: DEATH BY LIGHTNING, starring Michael Shannon as James Abram Garfield and Matthew Macfadyen as his assassin, Charles Guiteau. Shea Whigham and Nick Offerman are in it. Thank God. Their participation should be an ironclad requirement of any drama set before the advent of the safety razor.
