We’re not leaving Castle Rock just yet. Because there’s a new store in town. And Sheriff Alan Pangborn has a feeling something isn't quite right. Ed Harris plays Pangborn in the 1993 adaptation of Stephen King’s Needful Things, directed by Fraser C. Heston. And for Coconutdaddy, the Sheriff is the man we’re following this time. [en.wikipedia.org] , [imdb.com] Pangborn is trying to make sense of a peaceful little town that suddenly seems determined to tear itself apart. And standing quietly in the middle of it all is... Mr. Leland Gaunt. Oh, what a name. And OH, what an actor. 🎩 Welcome to Needful Things Max von Sydow plays Leland Gaunt, the mysterious proprietor of a newly opened antique shop called Needful Things. His merchandise seems almost impossibly tailored to the deepest desires of each customer. [en.wikipedia.org] , [imdb.com] You want it? He has it. Can't afford it? Oh, don't worry. Mr. Gaunt is very reasonable. Just pay a little money... And do him one tiny favo...

As promised, Hoot’n & Holler’n is going back to Disney World and those wonderfully ridiculous 1990s sitcom episodes that convinced us a family vacation to Disney was practically a supernatural event. The episode description puts it perfectly: apparently one episode wasn’t enough for all the lies '90s sitcoms told us about Disney World. [youtube.com] This time around, the gang skims through Boy Meets World, whose Disney adventure has shades of the Family Matters trip, except without a supernaturally powered Urkel running around making the Magic Kingdom even more magical. But then Matt gets into Full House... Ohhhhhh boy. 😂 Continuity? What's that? We get inconsistencies, fourth-wall-breaking weirdness, and Disney characters wandering into sitcom reality as if Mickey Mouse had always been a perfectly normal member of the Tanner family's extended social circle. And that's what makes revisiting these episodes so much fun. You can almost hear the writers saying: ...

Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are back behind the microphones with more hilarious, unfiltered Hollywood storytelling in Hizzouse #8. The show itself is built around the longtime friends talking comics, Hollywood, family and whatever else wanders into the conversation, with basically “no format, no guests, no plan.” [youtube.com] And honestly, that’s exactly why it works. One of the stories this time involves Jason Mewes recalling a real-life confrontation involving Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire. 🕷️😳 For longtime View Askew fans, though, there’s another layer to listening to Mewes and Smith together. Mewes has been remarkably open over the years about the difficult periods of his life, so hearing these two old friends sitting together today, laughing and swapping stories, gives the comedy a little extra heart. And, of course, Coconutdaddy remembers Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The wild adventures of Jay and Silent Bob may have looked like complete lunacy on the movie screen, b...

There are movies you remember because they’re masterpieces. There are movies you remember because they changed cinema. And then there are movies like Spies Like Us . You remember it because Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd are wandering around the Cold War apparently proving that the United States government will hand anybody a classified assignment if the comedy demands it. Directed by John Landis, the 1985 spy comedy teams Chase with Aykroyd as Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge, a pair of thoroughly unprepared government employees who find themselves being used as expendable decoys. [en.wikipedia.org] , [imdb.com] 🕵️ With Spies Like These... The joke is wonderfully simple. Take two guys who probably shouldn't be trusted with the office coffee machine. Send them on a secret mission. Point them toward the Soviet Union. And hope civilization survives. That puts Spies Like Us squarely in the grand tradition of the Cold War comedy, where generals are suspicious, bureaucrats are incom...

In a story that quickly captured attention across the internet, security cameras recorded an intruder breaking into a family home in San Diego's Sherman Heights neighborhood.
