Four friends travel to a lakeside cabin for a carefree weekend, the fun turns into a nightmare when 3 of them end up locked in a hot sauna. Every minute counts and every degree matters as they fight for their lives in the heat up to 247°F

About Michael Copon, he was one of the many victims of OTH show runner. He said in some Power Rangers conventions that OTH powers that be blamed him for Felix not being much likable, especially when he questioned about Felix's ethinicity since he is Philipino and they made him portrait a latino. The way Felix left it was simply due the creatives wantes to get him and Anna out of the show. But overall he doesn't like talking much about his time in OTH. Lately, he works more behind the cameras and has a production company.

There’s your answer anon.

Marc Spector: based on a real guy?

I would like to propose Barney "Beryl" Ross (born Dov-Ber Rasofsky) (1909-1967) as a stand-in for possible Marc Spector inspiration or at least a REALLY odd coincidence. The parallels are outstanding.

Born to Eastern European Immigrant parents (From Belarus), he grew up in a tough Chicago neighborhood. 

His father was a Rabbi who looked down on fighting like Boxing and Wrestling. 

When Barney expressed interest and talent in boxing, his father told him to "Let the goyim be the fighters" and that "The trombeniks (yiddish for phony and self aggrandizer), the murderers--We are the scholars." 

Barney studied the Talmud as well and expressed interest in becoming a teacher. 

His father was murdered when someone robbed their family vegetable shop. His mother suffered a mental breakdown and his three younger siblings were sent to an orphanage when Barney was just 14. 

Barney became a thief, a gambler, and worked for Al Capone. He eventually found his money in boxing where it is speculated that Al Copone himself often promoted his shows and bought up the tickets to help him make money. 

He used the money to reunite his family. 

His career took off during the rise of Antisemitism and while Barney rejected his father's teachings and religion, he understood that he was seen as a "scrappy Jew Kid" and he needed to become a representative for his people. 

His walk into the ring song was "My Yiddishe Momma" and he often wore blue and white with the Magen David on his clothes. 

In the ring himself, he became a world champion in three weight divisions. He was never knocked out. 

His last match before he retired he went 15 rounds where he took a severe beating. His couch begged him to call it, but he refused to go down. He was determined to leave the ring on his own feet". He had 72 wins in his career, 22 of which were by K.O. 

When WWII broke out, he joined the Marines. Because of his stardome, they tried to keep him as just a pretty poster face recruit, but he insisted on fighting. 

He was almost court-martialed when his commanding officer called him a Jewish Slur and he punched him out. He was spared because the judge was also jewish. 

Barney was sent to the Pacific Theater and fought at Guadalcanal where he single handedly fought off no less than five armed Japanese soldiers after being shot. He then rescued his fellow soldier by carrying them to safety. He was awarded the Silver Star. 

Despite his complicated relationship with his religion, he was known for bringing his father's religious study books with him to training camp. 

In the war, he made friends with a catholic priest who invited him to Christmas Dinner. Barney could play the pipe organ and he provided music for the soldiers. When asked to play something Jewish, he played "My Yiddishe Momma" that left everyone in tears. 

After his wounds healed, he developed a morphine addiction that he went to rehab for and eventually recovered. He went to schools and campaigned about the dangers of drug abuse. 

He worked hard for the creation of a Jewish State and offered to lead a brigade of Jewish American Veterans. 

The Jewish Community saw him as a hero and with his back story, he fit the bill of superhero status. 

A tragic backstory, rejection of his father's life and teachings, rising up out of the rough streets, becoming a fighter, and eventually a real life war hero and fighter for Jewish Rights. 

(Check out his biography- Barney Ross: The Life of a Jewish Fighter, by Douglas Century and his autobiography No Man Stands Alone.) 

Moench most certainly did not base Marc Spector off of Barney Ross. He didn't set about making the character obviously Jewish at first. It happened naturally for various other reasons. 

But Moench also didn't give Marc his back story. 

That would be Zelenetz. 

Moon Knight Vol 1. Issue #37.  Published 1984

Writer: Alan Zelenetz

Artist: Bo Hampton

Cover Artist: Michael Kaluta 

Now, I've broken this comic down before. HERE. But let's talk about the importance of THIS story. 

You see, after the war, no one wanted to talk about the Holocaust. Most survivors didn't want to talk about what they had been through and most others liked to pretend that nothing happened. 

It wasn't until the 90s that they came up with an actual mandate that it be taught in schools! 

It wasn't until then that it suddenly became apparent that we needed to hear from the survivors and we needed to record the history before the first hand accounts were lost. 

Until this time, the only stories being told were done in comics. 

Early comics used it as a grotesque way to add in horror and action and violence. When the Comic book code of ethics stepped in (big shot guys that put down the law for swears being &#^$% and no sex and violence rating systems), then comic writers found 'creative' ways to use Nazi as the villain and ambiguously talk about their targets without mentioning their actual crimes or the people they targeted. 

THAT would change when Spiegelman's Maus was published in 1980. 

A keen observer will note the date Moon Knight Vol 1 came out. November 1980! 

Now, Marc has fought Neo Nazi before and has even faced antisemitism. He's even gone to Jerusalem. But we have never had Marc connected to the Holocaust or explored his Jewish past before Zelenetz told this story. 

“I grew up on the poor side of Chicago. My father was unconcerned with material things. ‘God loves a poor man.’ He’d say. ‘Poor in goods, rich in spirit.’” 

Sounds familiar, right? 

 And while Marc is an extreme example, we see the conflict with the Rabbi father and the son who wants to fight. 

In this same issue we see Moon Knight rescue a Rabbi and Torah from a burning synagogue that has a Swastika painted on the door. 

Moon Knight hunts down the Nazi punks and makes them hurt. 

In this issue and the next, we see Marc deal with his conflicted past regarding religion, his Rabbi father, and his choice to fight vs his father’s choice to ‘leave it to god’. 

We also find out in this issue that the reason Marc joined the Marines is because of his father’s rejection. 

"To become Moon Knight--A social conscience and moral force. Just, severe, unknowable." 

I won't replay the comic for you guys, as I've already reviewed it (though I've learned a LOT since then and I'm sure I could bring more things to light at this point... Like the fact that to bring Elias back from the dead they write the Hebrew word Emet 'truth' on his forehead. Marlene erases part of the word, leaving behind Met, which is Hebrew for 'To Die' and this sends him back to his death). 

In the ending issue, and last issue of Moon Knight’s first run, we are left with: 

"I may have misjudged my father's saintliness for cowardice and his genius and moral zeal for fanaticism. [...] And isn't moon knight in his own way a moral zealot fighting perhaps for the very same values Marc Spector once rejected?" 

Back to Alan Zelentez. 

Alan only had Moon Knight for a few issues, but he was the first and as far as my limited research has shown me, the only actually Jewish writer to get to work with Moon Knight (I hope I am pleasantly surprised as I get further into things...but I'm not holding my breath). 

Zelenetz fit a LOT of Jewish lore and fun snippets into this comic that only those that have studied Jewish folklore and the culture would easily pick out. 

He was a Junior High School and High school principal at an Orthodox Jewish school in Brooklyn. 

He worked as an editor, script writer, Judica advisor for film and helped get a few other comics started and established. 

Now, is it likely that a Jewish man in Brooklyn heard about the son of a Rabbi from Eastern Europe in Chicago who turned into an amazing boxer and later a Marine war hero? Only Zelenetz knows for sure.

ummm could I ask you about the samuel benta controversy?? I've heard a bunch about it but would like to know your view upon it

My only opinion on it is Samuell Benta denies stealing the banner, and as there's never been any hard proof that he did take it, I have no reason to not believe him.

But regardless, I really don't. care. The Make-A-Wish foundation did not collapse in on itself because it didn't receive proceeds from one banner, and frankly the whole thing became less about wanting them to receive compensation (which the fandom could have done by donating the proceeds individually or holding some other kind of fundraiser) and more about getting to act antiblack because of nothing but rumors and "well I heard" or "well his attitude is so" forum posts. Frankly we have actors who have done far, FAR worse than that at this point. Michael Copon is still invited to conventions! Get HIM banned!

Power Rangers actors I wanna see on DWTS (and who I think they could be partnered with):

Walter Jones (MMPR) (with Britt) [they would be fire ngl]

Nakia Burrise (Zeo) (with one of Artem/Alan) [she was on Danger Force as well so it ties in with the Disney/Nickelodeon alum archetype]

Cerina Vincent (Lost Galaxy) (with Alan/Pasha) [also was on a Disney show]

Jason Faunt (Time Force) (with Koko/Jenna) [this is a long shot but I think he could do it, he’ll probably end up sucking but I think he can do it]

Michael Copon (Time Force) (with Britt/Daniella) [also for the same reason as Cerina, he’s one of the Boyz In Motion*.*]

Brandon Jay McLaren (SPD) (with Koko) [although he’s usually booked and busy]

Peter Sudarso (Ninja Steel) (with Koko/Rylee) [probably a ringer with his breakdancing experience but whatever, realistically most of Ninja Steel could do it]

Liana Ramirez (Beast Morphers) (with Sasha or Ezra if they decide to put him as pro) [they have the opportunity to do the funniest thing by inviting her brother on as well, who previously dated Juniors pro Elliana]

Chance Perez (Dino/Cosmic Fury) (with Britt) [my #1 dream pick atm]

Charlie Kerch (Once & Always) (she’ll end up with Val bc she’s a kid and it will push his “dad” storyline) [why do I feel like I see this happening

there are a few others I’d put in the maybe pile (Dan Southworth, Nic Sampson, JYB, Zoë Robins, etc.) but I think realistically they have a nice pool of those to choose from

Does anyone know where that photo of Jason Faunt and Michael Copon in the strip club is?

[soovermyself]

So what happened to a guy named Michael Copon? The guy known for his time in Power Rangers Time Force and his time portray Felix in One Tree Hill?

I don’t know really. He probably went on to have some small roles here and there but never really had a big break 🤷🏼‍♀️

¡VIVA LA MÚSICA! De orquestas y huelgas (9)

Me llamó la atención que muchos de los más entusiastas defensores de la huelga terminaban sus mensajes en redes sociales con un ¡Viva la ROSS!, que a veces remataban también con un ¡Viva la Música!

Pues bien, de eso hablamos ahora, de música…

Esta es la dimensión de la pérdida para la clientela de la que hablábamos ayer. Y del estropicio causado a solistas y directores, que supongo yo que se prepararon y ensayaron las obras para tocarlas públicamente.

Todo ello por un bien superior, por supuesto… Próximamente analizaremos este bien superior.
