| Comments | Blaine: I really enjoyed this Val Kilmer/Elisabeth Shue movie when it first came out. It was also my first exposure to the character, and I’ve since learned it wasn’t representative of the source material. I wonder if I’d still enjoy it as much today because of that. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “If you have a way to play 4K movies, Psycho feels like my pick for the week. Otherwise, I had fun watching Godzilla vs. Kong on HBO Max, and I have pretty much the rest of the Legendary Monsterverse so…” Blaine says, “I concur that Psycho is the best title out this week.”
We’ve had reviews of a few of these picks, including Psycho, Radioactive Dinosaur vs Great Big Ape, cult classic Don’t Look Now and, yes, even Rosemary’s Baby (a brilliant adaptation of an impressive novel, however one handles the subsequent history of its director).
Complete series recommendations include (apart from Supernatural) the NSFW Game of Thrones and the family-friendly The Waltons. The first seasons of The Waltons hold up remarkably well. Later seasons of the show depart so much from the premise and any sane recreation of the times that they almost become alt-history SF. Jonathan Frakes turns up in a few season seven episode, so maybe there’s field for study or fanfic there.
I’ve watched the 2005 film Kinky Boots, but not the subsequent musical or the film listed here, a movie based on the stage musical inspired by the movie that took its cue from a true story.
I found the 2005 movie amusing.
I’ve learned I enjoy musical theater, and Hamilton was a huge hit in my house, and I like Cyndi Lauper, so I think I will check out Kinky Boots.
Any geek who loves Hamilton needs to see this:

Also, this has nothing to do with Hamilton, but it’s similarly awesome.
