The problem is time. I don’t get how you all have so much time for these shows.
I am watching 1923, though, and I think I heard @jodi !

And just barely in this shot behind Harrison Ford!

And why were you complaining about them getting a root beer?

If you're a fan of A Christmas Story then I think you'll like A Christmas Story Christmas. Very tender, with Peter Billingsley As Ralphie now all grown up, and back in Holman Indiana with brother Randy, freinds Flick, Schwarz, and even archenemies Scut Farkus and Grover Dill (all played by the same actors). Too bad Melinda Dillon didn't reprise Mom Parker.
Really enjoyable holiday entertainment for the whole family.

Nice work, it is time for the Academy to create a category for extras.

Yes. I was enjoying a nice whiskey while watching, but Jodi's performance made me feel guilty and I had to stop drinking...

Because she wasn't there to share it with you?

Jodi, many years ago I portrayed a local WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union) character in a fall historical Cemetery Walk event. Local high school classes worked on the character development and lines for each of us. I provided my own costume and props. This woman owned the dress and millinery shop in town, and the WCTU met at her shop. I had great fun doing the part, and played it up to the hilt, so much that some people in town thought that I was anti-alcohol. They assumed that because I put effort into portraying the character, that I must have the same beliefs and attitudes as the character.
The problem became evident when as a city councilmember I had to vote on city ordinanaces related to our local bars and other alcohol sellers. People were aghast if they saw me enjoying any alcohol beverage in public. It was all so ridiculous!
Three times I played various local residents from the past: the WCTU leader, the woman who gave her home to the local Women's Beautification organization (they cared for the parks and worked to improve the appearance of the community), and the mother of our local city historian.
As noted, the WCTU character showed how silly assumptions can be made from unrelated events. It took several years for that to settle down.
The philanthropist's home that she donated is very similar to my home. The city park adjacent to my home is named in her honor, so it was fun to 'get to know her' by portraying her. Holy cow, she was a wonderful crazy gal. She went to Florida every year for the winter season, having a driver take her there in her huge car, and she took a complete carload of things with her. She died due to an automobile accident on one of those trips, with a full china service for twelve around her in the back seat.
The local historian, the one whose mother I protrayed, was still alive at the time of that performance. Oh my, it was unnerving to see her in one of my audiences that day. There's no way to completely understand and protray another person, and to have the daughter of that person there to see your presentation ...... Well, I figured she would have much to correct and even criticize, because that was her nature, so I braced myself for it. To my amazement, she said it brought her mother right back to her. She said it was uncanny how similar we looked and acted. Wow. I never knew her mother, and just guessed how she might be based on what I knew of this daughter. Apple and tree FTW!

Yes! I hope you get to do this again, too. It's an adventure, and I bet your kids are going to brag about it for years.

I just watched the second episode - didn’t like it quite as much as the first. Not sure when the next city scenes will show up - perhaps not for another couple of episodes.

Kings of Pain season 2. Especially like the episodes with Orange Baboon Tarantula and Horrid Assassin Bug. Season 1 hilight was the Giant Asian Centipede.
Entertaining and macabre science.
Especially designed for teenage males.
Highly recommended.
