To hell with The Money Pit! No, we Are Not Done Yet! Forget these modern iterations — it's Cary Grant and Myrna Loy who pioneered the disastrous home improvement form with Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Originally released in 1948, making this one of if not the oldest feature film we've covered, this light comedy about the perils of falling in love with the dream home in your head made for a refreshing palate cleanse.

The show must go on. Brooke runs a limited hangout on Trevor with an artificial insemination fib, Jeremy can't seal the deal, Sarah doesn't want to sign David's pile of papers, and Palmer trusts Opal with some big business — but does he even remember doing so?

Your latest bit of precious ore from the Now We Know Patreon mines — it's our dive into Roger Corman's never-released 1994 Fantastic Four movie, which, depending on who you ask, was created as an exercise in rights management with no intention of every seeing the light of day (although they certainly didn't tell the cast or crew that). Would this have been the first great Marvel movie if the cruel forces of capital hadn't intervened? No!

Your latest unearthed treasure, from the whispering catacombs of the Now We Know Patreon. It's Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the 2023 flick which... was pretty fun! Between this and the smash hit video game Baldur's Gate 3 from the same year, Dungeons and Dragons media has been on a bit of a hot streak lately. Although for the movie, that's solely in the "huh that's pretty good!" department; the box office returns, in a world where THE LION KING (2018) made 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!?!?!?!, were underwhelming.

Your latest offering, from the depths of the Now We Know vault: our "dive" (heh heh) into 2023's The Little Mermaid, the live* action** remake*** of the Disney animated classic. Featuring some new original songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the voice acting talents of the lovely miss Awkwafina!!!! Sounds fun right??????????

Originally recorded in April of 2023, your latest unearthed prize from the Now We Know vault is our dive into the first (modern era) Mario movie, with the sequel set to hit theaters next month. And, oddly enough, both the beginning and climax of this one are very, very similar to the reviled 1993 live-action Mario movie!

In the 90's, the asking price for an athlete likeness endorsement was seemingly more within reach, even for a rather shabby outfit, than it is today. Such is the legacy of ProStars, the short-lived NBC cartoon series "starring" the North American sports star trio of Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, and Bo Jackson (hey, two for one!). The three didn't actually do the voices for their characters, of course, instead filming short, to-the-point talking head segments as themselves, and leaving the voice acting to the professionals (who, one assumes, were not far too famous for this ignoble task like the real men were). Originally recorded in January 2024, Kevin invites you into the ProStars pantheon.

Take me out to the baaaaallllgaaaaaame... very soon! With a new MLB season nearly upon us, and the World Baseball Classic just having wrapped up in an exhilarating victory for Team Venezuela, we present, from the Patreon vault, our January 2022 episode on Bonds on Bonds, the short-lived 2006 ESPN documentary series about the controversial Giants superslugger's quest for the home run record. Is it a good work of journalism? Not really! Did Bonds have an unusual amount of creative control? Reportedly! Does he therefore come off well? No!

Digging once again into the depths of the Now We Know vault, originally recorded in September 2022, an examination of On The Air.

July 1992. Mark Frost and David Lynch are a year removed from the cancellation of the landmark TV phenomenon Twin Peaks, and Lynch has just months prior screened Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me at Cannes, disparaged at the time, yet now considered a masterpiece.

So, the dynamic duo decide to pair up on a new show, in a whole new direction: a hokey sitcom about a 1950's TV station starring Twin Peaks alums Ian Buchanan and Miguel Ferrer. Met with scathingly negative reviews, it was pulled after just seven episodes. Did it deserve it? Well, you'll just have to lis-oh, whatever, yes! Yes it did! It's awful!
