Fan of the celebrity news column in old newspapers. Like yes, learning if Davy Jones's number was chosen for the draft is significant enough to have the name "D-Day"

gosh, I didn't know the Shrek soundtrack is THE soundtrack for the Vietnam war

how the newspaper database cut parts of the article in this preview makes it look like the Monkees were involved in the assassination of JFK, Watergate, and the Vietnam War 😭😭😭

when BJ is first introduced in the show you fall into the trap of believing that he's playing the straight man. But as the show goes on, it finally dawns on you that he's more unhinged than anyone in the cast

2001 is a musical with dance scenes (the Orion shuttle docking with Space Station V) and an emotional show-stopper from the leading man (HAL singing Daisy, Daisy).

Singin' In The Rain is a science fiction film about disruptive technology forcing evolutionary change by overthrowing established societal hierarchies

Thank you for listening.

I love how sincere Electric Dreams is. there's no jokes about how weird it is, which would have happened today, the love triangle with a competitor being a computer isn't questioned. It's played straight in the wonderful cheesy romantic way. It's proud rather than ashamed to exist

First semester of grad school was horrible, made me doubt getting my masters but now I'm researching the Monkees for a research paper about them and counter culture of the 60s and I am so excited. I am really enjoying my masters rn, the exact opposite of my mindset three months ago, and I may want to go get a phd - I just have so many things I want to research and write about
