It wasn’t until I got to the part about Cathy and the kids that I fell on the floor laughing.

Now Playing: Natasha Lyonne in the Criterion Closet. Sometimes when I’m watching Nasty in a movie or on TV, I forget that she’s not just talking like that because it seemed right for the character.

Now Playing: BOB’S BURGERS. Season finale next week. I just thought I’d mention this in case I’m not the only one who had come to assume the current season had ended, since these are the first new episodes since before New Year’s.

Now Playing: COLUMBO, “The Greenhouse Jungle.” Guest starring Ray Milland, Bradford Dillman, and William Smith. 1972: a great year for movies, an excellent year for TV, and a near-extinction level event for men’s hair.

Now Playing: DYING FOR SEX. I’m about six minutes into this and don’t know where it’s going, but at a time when little victories can feel like a big deal, I salute the director for having found the best possible angle from which to show Jenny Slate, in slo-mo, mouth the words “OH! MY! GOD!”

My fantasy surrogate dad. Genuine redneck culture royalty. A remarkable and versatile actor who was sometimes underappreciated by really dumb people. Write an obituary tribute that includes the words “Mystery”, “Science”, “Theater”, and “3000”, and I will find you, and I will hurt you.

Now Playing: ANDOR. I’ve honestly felt that Stellan Skarsgaard has been coasting during stretches of this show, but now he really looks nervous. You think maybe they messed with him by suggesting bringing Lars in to direct an episode?

Now Playing: BEYOND THE GATES. The almost inexplicably hot mousey brunette who works at the hospital and her dumb-as-rocks boyfriend, who looks like every fireman who ever posed for a benefit calendar, squared, have finally moved in together.

Now on TCM: HOMBRE (1967), a Western, directed by Martin Ritt from a script adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel, of which I perhaps unreasonably fond.

New York Times headline: “Lawyers for Sean Combs Acknowledge Violence but Deny Sex-Trafficking Charge”. What’s the opposite of “I wish I had that guy’s problems”?

Now Playing: POKER FACE, S2E2. Nobody deserves to be reduced to their tabloid headlines, but I will confess to seeing a comedic aspect to casting Katie Holmes as a woman who is eager to divorce her older, somewhat crazy husband whose work involves restoring a healthy appearance to dead tissue.

Tomorrow, TCM’s schedule is rich in movies with a “motherhood” theme, so it’s nice that they’re going out of their way today to do right by Daddy.

“These Internal Documents Show Why We Shouldn’t Trust Porn Companies” is a very Nicholas Kristof headline. (Trust them to do what? Dunno, I’ll never read it, Nic Kristof wrote it.) Next week in this space: “Dude, That Stripper Is Only Pretending to Think You’re Really Funny.”

Now Playing: the season premiere of POKER FACE. Listen, I happen to think that more shows should launch their new seasons by showing what the SCTV version would look like.

Tonight on TCM: THE SWIMMER (1968), starring Burt Lancaster and this dame’s feet. It’s being introduced by David O. Russell, as part of the channel’s celebration (?) of Mental Health Awareness Month. Which might constitute a spoiler.

“Of the much-debated concept of installing cameras in the court, Justice Souter quipped, ‘Over my dead body.’” I guess we can agree to disagree over what constitutes a quip. It’s not like the fate of nations depends on it.
