Link Tank: Frank Oz is Not Happy With the Current State of The Muppets

New DVD release, , , ,
The voice of Fozzy Bear and Miss Piggy himself has some choice words when describing the recent Disney additions to The Muppets. “Frank Oz has brought iconic characters like Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and Yoda to life. Having worked with Jim Henson to bring us some of these childhood favorites, he hasn’t been a part of the new era of The Muppets or Sesame Street, and his absence has surely been missed. As someone whose favorite Muppet is Fozzie, Oz has been an iconic part of this series from the jump.” Read more at The Mary Sue Shang-Chi and the…

Danny Pudi Is Happy You Enjoyed “Larry, I’m on DuckTales”

New DVD release, , , ,
Flash back to late December of last year, if you will.  The holiday season is approaching and it’s a particularly dour one. The world is still in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic and large gatherings are discouraged, scuttling many people’s chances to see their family in person for the first time in months. We all needed a win. The Internet, as it so often seems to do, came through. From the depths of TikTok and Twitter re-emerged a little-seen clip of a February 2020 interview between actor Danny Pudi (Community, Mythic Quest) and legendary broadcaster Larry King. King wanted…

Fargo Season 4 Episode 10 Review: Happy

New DVD release, , , ,
This FARGO review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 4 Episode 10 Fargo did itself a disservice with last week’s episode. By successfully presenting a small-scale, mostly self-contained story, it’s made this season’s sprawl and lack of focus more obvious. “Happy” is the penultimate episode of the season which means the season’s many threads need to start coalescing or ending, but unfortunately this doesn’t happen particularly gracefully. The timing on many of the episode’s plot points, like the introduction of the titular character Happy and Ethelrida’s reintroduction into the main story, feel like they are occurring far too late to make a…

Why Happy Death Day 3 Hasn’t Happened Yet

New DVD release, ,
Back in 2017, Blumhouse scored a big hit with writer/director Christopher Landon’s Happy Death Day, a sci-fi/horror comedy in which an excellent Jessica Rothe played a college student who keeps waking up to relive the day on which a serial killer slaughters her. A sort of hybrid of Scream and Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day was acclaimed by critics, earned $125 million at the box office and was followed two years later by Happy Death Day 2U, which continued the story but emphasized a more sci-fi angle to the tale as Roth’s character found herself in an alternate dimension.
