Good Place Podcast, Jay & Miles X-Plain, and Guilty Pleasures

[shadowkat]

1. The Good Place Podcasts with Marc Anthony Jackson

Shawn is the head of the Bad Place. And he recaps each episode, and analyzes all of it, and invites writers and actors to help him. The above one -- has D'Arcy Caden (Janet), and the writers of the episode, Josh Seigal and Dylan Morgan. Must have for D'Arcy Caden fans --- come on, you know who you are. This is my X-mas gift or Hannuakha gift to you -- you can thank me later.

Reminds me of The Succubus Club for Buffy, but much better done. (Caveat, I don't like Podcasts. I can't just listen to something -- I have to interact with it or I get bored and start doing something else at the same time.)

2. The other fun podcasts -- if you are a fan of the X-men, is Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-men, Because Someone Has To .

3. Guilty Pleasures:

These are basically the cultural things that I find deeply comforting and entertaining, and have a life-long weakness for...but they tend to be non-mainstream and most people just don't get.

* X-men comic books and graphic novels ( I fell in love at the age of 18, and never fell out..)
* Romance novels -- specifically historicals
* Superhero television shows and movies and to a degree comics
* Daytime Soap Operas (fell in love as a pre-teen, I blame my mother)
* Japanese Anime
* Musical Theater and Musical films...often based on Musical Theater. (If it's a musical, I'll watch it, even if it is a bad musical)
* Star Wars movies
* Science Fiction/Fantasy novels and television series and films
* Rock Operas..

Re: Soaps

I forgot that...I would have made a similar mistake -- I thought she took over for Julianne Moore on ATWT for some reason.

Marisa Tomei also started on ATWT, as did Richard Thomas and I think Timothy Hutton?

That show had a lot of good actors on it. I really liked the actor who played Roger Thorpe on GL, he got more ambiguous during the 1980s. Then the actor contracted ALS and the show dealt with it poorly. The series went down hill from there -- so I gave up.

Yes, I knew about his ALS. Sad... Hopefully, actors earn their wings by providing so much entertainment in their lifetime.

I read about him -- he was very kind man and very generous to those around him. The exact opposite of the character he played. OLTL kindly gave him a role. (I was sort of glad OLTL outlived GL as a result.)
