Last Call

It's here! Let's get into it. I title pretty much says it all.

This is old - doesn't really qualify as "news" anymore - because I kind of dragged my heels on it (It's hard to run in heels, I hear). But this comment from Bryce Dallas Howard about being pressured to lose weight really got me thinking about all the other actors who have undergone some really serious physical transformations for rolls. There are way more than I covered here, it's not just men gaining and losing weight, either. Yes, I'm being snarky. Someone who makes $8 million dollars, complains that this is $2 million less than her co-star, and then also complains about feeling "pressured to lose weight" for the role kind of has some snark coming, IMO. But don't let that stop you from going full troll in the comments. I invite the engagement.

Yes, Geeky Geezers is on my channel this week. Keep Aged Boomer in your thoughts and prayers; Hurricane Ian has done a real number on his area of Florida, and he is without internet and electricity for the foreseeable future and can't even get home because of flooding. Meanwhile, Netter and I are gonna step in and cover a few news items just to keep his slot warm for him.

She's Sassy Southern belle and a "Boujie Boozer" which, I think, makes her SO on brand for Last Call! I've really wanted to get her on the channel for a long time, but had to work up the never. Then, during my stream with @Justice FATS Seagal, my buddy Jack (Daniels) gave me the courage to ask her and, here we are! We're gonna talk about some of my favorite topics: Booze, relationships, men and women, fandom, booze, YouTube and booze. So pour yourself a glass - it doesn't necessary have to be booze - and remember, there are ladies present, so be on your best behavior.

YouTubeing is hard. Really; if you've never done it, I know it looks like it's just as simple as flipping on the camera and broadcasting yourself talking or ranting or gaming, or whatever else you would be doing anyway, but there is SO much more to it than that. No, this isn't going to be rant secession ... well, maybe a little ... but really it's a great peak behind the curtain and you might be fascinated by what you learn. My panel will be a handful of my favorite YT channels that I credit with whatever success I have garnered thus far. A couple are so big and famous, they may not have the time to commit, so I I didn't list them in the thumbnail - maybe they show, maybe they don't. You never know. Better tune in to find out.

For serious toy enthusiasts, the commercial companies will likely never make the exact thing you are looking for. Maybe the character you want most is too obscure or doesn't have enough mass appeal to make it commercially viable. Maybe there's a license issue. Maybe you just want to create a diorama of people you know! Well this is what both Andy Masterson and I have addressed ourselves, creating our own action figures. We're gonna talk toys, and whatever else comes up (You know how Last Call is!) Canable Wagon rolls at 9PM CST to kick off the weekend!

She describers herself as a: "Model, Artist, Pianist, teacher, and sustainable living enthusiast." Some of us need way less sustaining than others, let me tell you. But that aside, she's is also a new (thus the "noob") YouTuber and I just gotta say, I like the cut of her jib. Just the little bit we've interacted tells me that, for all our differences, she and I have a lot in common. If you like my channel ... well, first, what's wrong with you? ...

Well, a couple weeks ago, Aged Boomer and I talked about this AGAIN on Geeky Geezers, and we are bringing in a subject matter expert to drive it home.

Good evening, happy Sunday and welcome to this improvisational stream just to keep the Geeky Geezers slot warm for Boomer. This is down and dirty and we’re making it up as we go along. There’s me, there’s Netter, Boomer may stop by if he’s not too exhausted from travelling, and – of course – there’s all of you. We’ll try to cover some of the geeky news in a scattershot fashion and I’m not making any promises, but top off your glasses, get comfortable and strap in, ‘cuz here we go…

August 3, 1992 - Nanette was young and foolish enough to say "I do" to me, and I wasn't going to wait for her to come to her senses. Now, after 30 years of her not having smothered me in my sleep, I think I must be doing okay. So come on in, have a drink with us, and maybe even come into the studio to to wish us a Happy Anniversary directly!

In 1952 Stanley Kramer produced an American Western film from a screenplay by Carl Foreman, directed by Fred Zinnemann, and starring Gary Cooper. Now, 70 years later, we are going to revisit this classic. Though mired in controversy at the time of its release due to its political themes, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four (Actor, Editing, Score and Song) as well as four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, and Black and White Cinematography). The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin. High Noon was selected by the Library of Congress as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 1989, the NFR's first year of existence. An iconic film whose story has been partly or completely repeated in later film productions, its ending in particular has inspired numerous later films, including but not just limited to westerns. Our guest bartender tonight is regular channel contributor, @Ser Torrhen Clegane , who suggested this rewatch.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016) is a biographical war film directed by Mel Gibson and written by Andrew Knight and Robert Schenkkan, based on the 2004 documentary The Conscientious Objector. The film focuses on the World War II experiences of Desmond Doss, an American pacifist combat medic who, as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, refused to carry or use a weapon or firearm of any kind. Doss became the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, for service above and beyond the call of duty during the Battle of Okinawa. Andrew Garfield stars as Doss, with Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths, and Vince Vaughn in supporting roles. Why this film tonight? Well, Aged Boomer told me I agreed to it at Stephen Otten's request during the Heartbreak Ridge watch party after I was well into the drink. So, here we are. Oo-rah and Semper Fi! I have not seen this film yet myself, but I'm told it's great.

AT Midnight EDT (2100 CDT), the Hasbro HasLab crowdfunding for the "Star Wars The Black Series Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber" ends and it's not even going to clear the 50% mark. This thing ain't happening. I'm going live a half your before to talk about the project, what went wrong, why it was ill conceived to begin with and will watch in real time as it fails to make it's 5K goal. And laugh.

Tonight we raise a glass to Lenny Von Dohlen - Harold Smith from Twin Peaks, or Miles Harding from Electric Dreams (among many other roles). Due to the complete collapse of Canada today and it's complete degeneration into third wold status, Stephen "Deleted_Scenes" Otten offered to step in for my regularly scheduled guest bartender trapped behind the Maple Curtain. So, tonight I am going to bring you a watch party to honor Lenny Von Dohlen (and, frankly, one Stephen and I had been planning anyway), the Twin Peaks prequel film, Fire, Walk With Me.

Turnabout is fair play, and I wanted to return the favor, by way of a bit of parody of Ryan's "Rising Star" formula, with a bit of my own flair. I'm not sure if I'll be releasing this video in this form, but if I get lazy, this is it. So do consider following Roger on Twitter (@RyanRogerAthay) and subscribe to his channel (@Ryan Roger Athay )

He likes to shout out other YouTubers as "Rising Stars," but I can't help but think he is every bit as deserving (if not more so) of that title. So, you know what I do: I use my Friday Night stream as an opportunity to drink and chat with someone I want to get to know and call it "content!" But, seriously, I like his videos and his Tweets, and I think you will, too. Then again, he likes mine, so he may have somewhat questionable judgement. We'll find out together!

" Korea. Dominican. Three tours in 'Nam. Hell, this old ass in the grass bulldog's carrying around so much shrapnel he can't pass through an airport metal detector." Heartbreak Ridge is a 1986 film produced, directed, and starring Clint Eastwood. The story centers on a U.S. Marine nearing retirement who gets a platoon of undisciplined Marines into shape and leads them during the American invasion of Grenada in 1983. The title comes from the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge in the Korean War, where Eastwood's character had earned the Medal of Honor. Why this film tonight? Why not?
