I worded my last post poorly, so let me simplify it, as I really do want an answer from you knowledgeable true crime fans: Why is it many episodes end with the sentence imposed on the suspects but many don’t, leaving us hanging?

I appreciate your patience if you already tried to answer my weird question I’ve had since I started watching this show in the mid 2000s. Thanks 😊

Should we actually be surprised that so many episodes end with us knowing what the sentence is, considering how long it often takes for murder cases to get to the trial & sentencing phase?

And are you okay with not knowing anything more than the charges at the end of others? To me those should be the first cases to be focused on in After the First 48. Your thoughts?

Once I noticed Larry David did all the male voices in the Rochelle Rochelle movie audio we hear in the background, I realized he does nearly all of the off-camera voices, starting with the first mention of Newman, warning Kramer he was going to jump off the building!

They must’ve saved a fortune on voice actors! Anyone else notice this?

Terry likes Rosa! I like Rosa! One of the things I love about her (Stephanie Beatriz) besides how well she pulls off wigs is how good she is at changing her voice. For instance in this whole fantastic sequence…

What are some of your Rosa favorites?

Discussion: He’s one of the most versatile character actors out there and one of my favorites. What do you think of Stephen Root and his many roles?

There’s a lot to choose from.

Ok, bear with me while I try to briefly explain these two separate writing vs what ends up on camera things I just put together…

No photo here, just please read this realizing it’s a really stupid thing not only to notice, but to feel so compelled to share it with someone before I forget it (sorry, this is so slapdash I didn’t look up the episode info): Do you remember when captain Holt got that rebar, (and you’ll need to remember that it was in fact rebar, a dense solid cored bar of iron/steel) plunged through his leg? They insisted on referring to “rebar” as a “pipe”. Like, the opposite of rebar. Rebar would slide right through a pipe like a bullet. It isn’t really possible to get a pipe to run through a fleshy body part in the first place (oof imagine that). Anyway, that’s the first example.

Second example of basically the same flub is Jake saying his last meal would be the Sour String he clearly pulls out of his own pocket. They then begin to refer to the “string” as “straws”, like they aren’t Sour Strings anymore, they’ve become Sour Straws, and WTF are those?! You see what I’m getting at here? Same thing, you could pull strings through straws like you could pull rebar through a pipe! Same weird mistake, completely different situations, between writers and prop people/producers.

And for some mysterious reason I felt it vital to violate all you fine people with my madness. What a selfish jerk! Ok, I’m now going to look up a therapist who feels skilled enough to take my crazy ass on. Thank you for listening.☺️

What are some examples of TV and films that were not considered hits when they initially came out but over time became cult classics?

This film for example was panned for being too slow and boring. It’s now considered a sci-fi touchstone. What are some of your favorites?

I cut open a potato at work and this was in the center. It’s a potato geode!

It took up almost the entire inside of an average sized Yukon gold potato. I dice over 50lbs of these a week and this isn’t the first time but it’s my favorite.

Can you guess what these things might be? The biggest ones are about the size of grains of rice…

HINT: They are NOT man made.

What are your favorite hidden talents of this dynamic duo?

They keep them well hidden but they seem to have many. Any come to mind?

Well it seems like the purists here aren’t so hot on After the First 48, so I figured I’d follow up with another question: Are there ANY The First 48 spin-offs that you watch?

I like all of these and a bunch of other true crime shows on this and other networks (not so much the ones mainly containing reenactments). Are there any shows you can stomach besides our obvious favorite The First 48?

What are your overall thoughts on this spin-off series? Is it a worthy companion to the original?

It makes sense to have something to give us a bit of closure on some of the cases that deserve more attention, and occasionally cases that leave us wondering what the verdict turned out being. Do you even watch the show and if so what are your thoughts on it?

What actors do we love in real life, but who we hate in the bad guy roles they take because they’re so surprisingly good at it?

Woody Harrelson comes to mind, but there’s many more…

A modern cult classic that for me hits all the notes I want from a movie like this. I feel it’s underrated. How do you feel about it?

It’s one of my favorite Terry Gilliam films, and may be my favorite Robin Williams film…period. In fact everyone in it shines.
Always makes me feel and leaves me in a good mood, but more importantly, what are your thoughts about the film?

u/Clear_Nature_5055 — 15 days ago

The movie of same title may have been divisive (I loved it), but Hannibal the series on ABC was it’s own beast all together. Anybody here watch it, too? What are your thoughts?

*Pardon me it was an NBC show.
I personally think it was as delicious as the food prepared and served on it appeared. Which is to say very! It really deserved to be on premium cable and treated like the phenomenal prestige-quality show I truly believe it was. ABC did the best they could but it could’ve been so much more if the gloves were off and it was allowed to be everything they intended.
Your thoughts…

Anyone remember this little gem of an organized crime detective period piece?

Absolutely loved this show! Michael Mann wrote and directed a handful. Slightly appreciated at the same time as the Miami Vice juggernaut which might’ve been why it got lost. Dennis Farina was new to acting and it was fantastic! Any thoughts?

“That’s because it’s all wart.” What are some of your favorite Scully lines.

That cuck Hitchcock can be in there too, I guess.
