Hey, remember CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, the movie about a check forger caught by an FBI agent who then later rescued the forger from prison by hiring him to catch other check forgers? Did you enjoy it?
A. Yes? Great. There's a television show just like that now.
B. No? Too bad. There's a television show just like that now.
Carol and I tackle yet another example of the intricate emotional back and forth that is the buddy cop relationship.
Starfish!
(you'll understand after you watch the video. which you should do now.)
This week I signed up for ABUSE FROM A FRIEND 101 when I asked Donald Glover, star of "Community," to help me out with my weekly Television Without Pity video. Apparently, he's very sensitive to the fact that I have a unique appreciation for more arcane expressions and manners of speech. No need to worry though. We're still the best of friends. Sure, he doesn't return my calls...but neither do my parents. All I'm saying is, let's not read too much into his silence.
This is how I feel after I finish editing one of my NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE videos...
Hey! You know what? Speaking of NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE, I just made my 50th episode for Bravo's Television Without Pity.
The big FIVE OH. Can you believe that? I can. You know why? Because I'm at home watching "Iron Eagle" on AMC right now, which, let me remind you, stands for American Movie CLASSICS. And the sort of person who makes vlogs for a living probably also watches something like "Iron Eagle" each and every time it appears on television. Each and every, people. Nevertheless, here are two relevant questions:
1. How did "Iron Eagle" become a classic? 2. Where is Lou Gosset Jr.?
All I can hope for is that he has the decency to please please please remake this music video originally created as the mind-bogglingly-hilarious-hair-band-companion to the classic cinematic event "Iron Eagle."
I don't care about remaking the movie. I just want to see an updated version of this video. I'm hungry for awful but by awful I mean wonderful. Thank you, Youtube. If you do remake it, Lou--can I call you Lou?--may I recommend shooting the video with this hit band from the 80's...NAUGHTY TOWN.
I'd also like to point out that I play on an ice hockey team that includes a number of comedian friends, including Patrick Borelli, Dave Hill, Barry Rothbart, and the (did you know this?) Lou-Gosset-Jr.-obsessed Eric Slovin. Now you know.
