In a speech on Wednesday, June 23, 2021, Biden said, "If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons." Oh? Is that so, Joe? Well, I think someone has sent us an answer to that...

The terms Reboot and Remake tend to set people's teeth on edge, and with good reason. But I think it's time we take some of the bite away from these words. We're going to define them, examine them, and maybe find that, when applied correctly, with the correct intent, and skillful execution, neither a Remake or a Reboot need be something bad. In fact, they can be very, very good ("Can be" being the operative phrase here). And joining us tonight is subject matter expert Deleted Scenes!

Last year (or maybe it was sooner than that?!) I started a series within the Last Call topics exploring what I wish DC had done from the start, rather than all of their false starts, with their Cinematic/Shared Universe. Now, as DC is starting all over again in 2023 from scratch, it would seem, I want to return the "what could have been." This also comes a day after a number of us pitch our ideas, hypothetically, to DC on Mr. Matchstick's channel @MrMatchstick and his stream the night before this one: https://youtu.be/ZvCldDdYx3U My alternate universe branches from ours way back in 2001 with the release of Smallville, because every era and incarnation of the DC Universe should be built on Superman. Smallville had some great ideas and potential, but it wasn’t really building to anything. And then when they did decide to create their “Arrowverse” it wasn’t a spinoff of Smallville or directly connected. Neither did they try to spin Smallville UP to the big screen. But what if they did… FIXING THE DC CINEMATIC UNIVERSE MeWe group: https://mewe.com/join/fixingthedccinematicuniverse Canarble Wagon rolls regular time: 9 PM CST _______ As always, please subscribe to everyone who makes this stream happen behind the scenes … Guest Bartender - @sertorrhenclegane As always, please subscribe to everyone who makes this stream happen behind the scenes … Designated Driver - @AgedBoomer Bouncer - @NettersNetwork Buy me a drink: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thegrotshoppe Join the Discord and the MeWe group to stay up to date and keep the conversation going between shows: https://discord.gg/H27uJtYBtB https://mewe.com/join/fridaynightlastcall

Here's to the shows, those daytimes shows Where the plot will hardly ever go just how you suppose She murdered him out the window she shoved But he came back as a ghost thank goodness they're still in love... In a drunken ramble a few weeks back, I said something about memories of 80s and 90s ABC soap operas, and regular contributor, Ser Torrhen Clegane, thought it would be a good topic for full stream. And why not? It's my stream. Add enough alcohol, and everything's a good idea. But, seriously, I did love the ABC soaps; All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital. There were actually some great stories there, good writing and great acting - very underrated. And I think you'd be surprised how much of the pop culture and entertainment you enjoy today was influenced by these "daytime dramas."

How I have not had this guest on stream before is beyond me. I feel we are kindred spirits from opposite sides of the Pond. Maybe we'll discuss culture and Dr. Who and Hammer Horror and who knows what over some good drinks. But we will almost certainly talk about some 70s rock ... Is that redundant? What is music but a cornerstone of culture? Well, we'll see.

What? I'm OLD. I'm not so much celebrating getting older, so much as I'm celebrating surviving another year! That's not as easy as it used to be! Hell, we can't take it for granted as easily as we used to. Well, this is an excuse to drink. And chat. And drink.

This is the last Last Call for 2022, so I thought, "What do you do at the end of the year?" That's right - you get drunk! But besides that; I do that every Friday. Yes, we'll take a look back and talk about the past year, and maybe look ahead a little bit because, just like in a horror film, you don't walk into a dark room with your eyes closed!!

"The Little Match Girl" is a literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. First published in 1845, the story is set on New Year's Eve, so I thought it would be a nice, happy little story to share with you all as we close out 2022.

You voted for this; the 1983 Classic, A Christmas Story, based on Jean Shepherd's semi-fictional anecdotes in his 1966 book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash. I'll admit that this is one of my favorites because it really harkens back to the Christmases of my youth in many ways. Netter and I saw A Christmas Story Christmas this year and it made us really happy that this film tied with two other films.

On September 23, 2022, tropical storm Ian formed southeast of Jamaica, rapidly intensifying into a high-end Category 3 hurricane. It became a high end Category 4 hurricane early on September 28, 2022, while progressing towards the west coast of Florida, and made landfall just below peak intensity in southwest Florida on Cayo Costa Island. Meanwhile, on the mainland of Florida, one fearless YouTuber prepared to do battle with the elements to protect the people of his community. Aged Boomer, in his secret identity as a mild mannered civil servant, left his home and, rather than fleeing to safety, marshaled local civilians into a public shelter and stood watch. After the storm had cleared, it was days before the massive floodwaters withdrew to reveal the chaos they had wrought. It was days more before Boomer could reach his home again and assess the damage. Now, many weeks later, he is still not able to stay in his home, tough repairs are ongoing. This is his story... Joining us tonight is friend of the community, Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou (the public identity of @So Many Random Fandoms on YouTube), to provide some professional wisdom and insight on Hurricane Ian and severe weather in general. DISCLAIMER: Katie Nickolaou is an Emmy Ward Winning meteorologist with a very busy schedule, and it's entirely possible that this stream won't happen on the 9th*, so this is a TENTATIVE scheduling. If it doesn't happen on the 9th, we'll just postpone (and watch for another link for tonight, possibly on very short notice!) Either way, the Canarble Wagon rolls at 9 PM CDT. *The original date was the 2nd, so it's already rescheduled once. _______ As always, please subscribe to everyone who makes this stream happen behind the scenes … Guest Bartender - @So Many Random Fandoms Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou on Twitter: https://twitter.com/weather_katie Designated Driver - @Aged Boomer Bouncer - @Netter's Network Buy me a drink: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thegrotshoppe Join the Discord and the MeWe group to stay up to date and keep the conversation going between shows: https://discord.gg/H27uJtYBtB https://mewe.com/join/fridaynightlastcall

Next time on Last call, it’s the Hurricane Ian Retrospective, with special guest, Emmy Award Winning Meteorologist, Katie Nickolaou of WLNS channel 6 Weather, Lansing. We’ll be hearing the harrowing tale of Aged “Gone With The Wind” Boomer, who heroically cared for citizens in a public shelter for weeks, and we’ll find out what he came home to, and Meteorologist Katie will bring the science and perspective. Canarble Wagon rolls at a special time this week, one hour early at 8 Central/9 Eastern, right here on YouTube. https://youtu.be/JaYmaWghhe4

T.J. Manrique is a science fiction writer originally from Venezuela and he has chosen our humble stream to kick off the launch of his newest book, "Another Boring Day in Space." With as hostile an environment as space is, I suspect "boring" is used ironically here.

This Friday on Last call, Author T.J. Manrique launches his newest title, Another Boring Day In Space. “Murder is definitely not the way you want to break up the monotony of interstellar travel.” Like there isn’t enough to worry about in space, am I right? We’ll hear from the author himself, find out a bit about his history, his writing method, and especial about what inspired him to write about murder in space.

Fans of the channel who have been around for more than a year know that every year, as part of our Thanksgiving tradition, Netter and I watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles. (Netter: He MAKES me watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles every year!) Yes, yes. This is my video description, Netter. Thank you. Anyway, I'm making a slight deviation this year. Rather than actually watching it ON Thanksgiving Thursday, with a scaled back Last Call the following day, I'm going to just combine the two (Maybe I can leverage TWO days of drinking in this way!) (Netter: NO!) Well, maybe. (Netter: NO!)

Following the unexpected financial success and the cultural phenomenon of Star Wars (1977), a sequel was swiftly put into production. Negotiations began with Fox in mid-1977 . The studio had already given Lucas controlling interest in the series' merchandising and sequels because it had thought Star Wars would be worthless. The contract was signed on September 21, 1977 and filming had to begin by January 1979. Lucas began formulating ideas in August 1977, but the first draft wasn't completed until February 1978. Subsequent drafts ensued with the fourth on October 24. Meanwhile, Lucas (and the studio) were concerned about keeping the hype and (at least for Lucas) the marketing alive. So while all the pre-production work on Empire Strikes Back was happening, the idea for a holiday variety show on a shoestring budget was pitched and ... somehow ... it happened. On November 17, 1978, Star Wars Fans saw its first glimpse of a post Star Wars (sort of) sequel, and, as it would turn out the first "Expanded Universe" entry. The special is notorious for its extremely negative reception and has never been rebroadcast nor officially released on home video. But once a year, I bring it out to share with you! The version we will be watching I will be simulcasting on Kosmi (link pinned in the chat).

Almost a year ago, I reached out to Michael/RetroBlasting because I was streaming about the pending failure of the HasLab Black Series Rancor project (https://youtu.be/dCIFnW7edJU) and I actually got a comment back on that video from Michael saying he liked the video and had subscribed to the channel. I've wanted to book RetroBlasting as a guest ever since. RetroBlasting is the premier video channel specializing in humorous analysis and deconstruction of 1980s vintage toys and classic cartoons, as the channel's description states, but on a personal note, this channel is absolutely one of my favourites on YouTube. And this is not news to most of my regular viewers as you've all heard me talk about it so many times. Now, I just hope this doesn't turn into The Chris Farley Show...
