The Inheritance: The premier episode in which our heroes assault a child & steal her doll

Dude. What a fantastic first episode, no lie. But my title is keeping it 💯 because that's what happens. For real, though, what a great way to meet our awesome trio & the titular Uncle Lewis, amiright?

We get to see Lewis dragged to hell, meet Micki's douchelord fiance Lloyd, then the bash em over the head meet cute of Micki & Ryan, Jack coming to collect payment

And holding up Micki & Ryan with a goddamned sword after they've sold off all the items & inform him that Lewis had gone to that great coven in the beyond. Micki's constant bralessness & Ryan's comic book obsession is established, along with Jack being the most awesome Wiccan pimp who growls diablery this side of anywhere.

Also, EVIL DOLL! Baby Sarah Polley doing the absolute most with her menacing side eye after the doll Vita kills her stepmother in one of the most hilarious death scenes ever put to film. Our heroes busting into her house after a failed attempt to retrieve Miss Vita the night before. Like y'all do not know this family & just crash in guns (Micki's awesome unfettered rack) a blazing.

Exhibit A. You guyyyyysss. So anyhoover, the final showdown is amazeballs. Micki getting terrorized on the playground, Ryan's master of the obvious "don't let go!" line, then of course, the child assault as Ryan snags that doll while whipping lil Sarah Polley off the merry go round like a boss. Mission Accomplished. Chef's motherfucking kiss.

And thus began my long, decades old love affair with this gem of syndicated Canadian television that spawned a pantload of smutty fanfic penned by yours truly & multiple hours of genuinely entertained laughter. Viva le Friday the 13th: The Series, bro namaths. From here to eternity.

A Serious Man (2009)

Comedy, Drama |

A Serious Man is a black comedy-drama film written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Set in 1967, the film stars Michael Stuhlbarg as a Minnesota Jewish man whose life crumbles both professionally and personally, leading him to questions about his faith.

The film attracted a positive critical response, including a Golden Globe Award nomination for Stuhlbarg, a place on both the American Film Institute’s and National Board of Review’s Top 10 Film Lists of 2009, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In a prologue, a Jewish man in an unnamed 19th-century Eastern European shtetl tells his wife that he was helped on his way home by Reb Groshkover, whom he has invited in for soup. She says Groshkover is dead and the man he invited must be a dybbuk. Groshkover arrives and laughs off the accusation, but she plunges an ice pick into his chest. Bleeding, he exits their home into the snowy night.

In 1967, Larry Gopnik is a professor of physics living in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. His wife, Judith, tells him that she needs a get so she can marry widower Sy Ableman, with whom she has fallen in love. Meanwhile, their son Danny owes twenty dollars to an intimidating Hebrew school classmate for marijuana. He has the money, but it is hidden in a transistor radio that was confiscated by his teacher. Daughter Sarah is always washing her hair and going out.

Poison Pen is definitely one of the most unintentionally hilarious episodes ever, fight me.

Seriously, look at Micki in this picture & imagine how anyone could possibly clock her as a dude.

Sis didn't even get Dude lessons or anything, they just strapped down the girls & threw her in there. Then, the bonkers monastery with the Great Value Pondy monk & deliciously evil villain with his "Pre-meditating" line sends me into orbit. Oh, my sides! For why was there the ever convenient glory hole for Pondy to spy on Micki in the shower? Why are Ryan & Micki so comfy as to sleep in their undies as they share a single room?

Like??? They had just inherited the store, lol. This is *only* the 2nd episode, and they're already parading around each other in underthings, lol. Also, Micki's impeccable girly French manicure perpetually takes me out in the scene where she finds the cursed pen in the villain's office. They really did the very least to make her a convincing boy monk named 'Simon'.

The kicker is the end of the ep when Micki exclaims how great it is to be a girl again & I'm like ??? Yo, you never, ever stopped, & scream-die laughing.

Jesum crow, this show really is just the greatest thing ever.

Friday’s Curse

An old antique dealer made a pact with the Devil to sell cursed antiques. When he dies, his store is inherited by his niece Micki and her cousin Ryan. With the help of Jack Marshak, they fight to retrieve the antiques from the people who bought them to stop them from causing harm. Friday’s Curse syndicated from http://ift.tt/2rLj3l6

Tails I Live, Heads You Die

Each season was quite a bit different to the others in Friday the 13th. By this time, the Curious Goods crew were becoming used to their lot in retrieving cursed items that 'Uncle' Lewis Vendredi had sold, typically to either fellow servants of Satan or people completely unaware of the items' curses.

Several of the episodes in season two dealt with Micki, Ryan, and Jack being forced to come to terms with the difficulty of their chosen lives, especially considering their successes at retrieving the cursed items marked them as targets by none other than the Devil and his minions. 'Tails I Live, Heads You Die' really exemplifies this, with not only the main villains being a literally diabolical cult, but also with one of the main characters facing very real death.

Good

The whole episode is really one of the best: interesting item, great interaction between the characters, and a minimum of extraneous cast. It illustrates how Jack, Micki, and Ryan relate to each other, as well as how the constant battle to retrieve the cursed items wears on them. When Micki dies, albeit temporarily, it shows even deeper facets of Jack and Ryan and how difficult it is to face the reality that one of them has paid the ultimate price.

I'd also like to add that, despite an alarming and relatively recent trend to kill off main characters needlessly, this episode loses no impact at all by reviving Micki by the end. She is certainly not unscathed, and Jack and Ryan are also deeply affected by the occurrence. A character need only be put in serious danger or injured -- or even perish temporarily, like Micki -- not killed off, to have a real impact.

Friday the 13th was so often a show wherein many characters the audience are introduced to are destroyed by the cursed items. Most of the characters and the world were realistic and believable, and because of that it wasn't always a happy world. But as far as the main characters were concerned, as an audience we could be generally certain that they would return to us every week, to keep fighting the good fight against sure evil.

However, this episode did seem to foreshadow the beginning of season three, wherein a real and persistent shake-up of the main group occurred.

Bad

It's difficult to try and find something negative about this episode. I really do consider it one of the best of the series. If I had to choose something, it would be that such an interesting plot and strong villains could have been stretched to two episodes. Even though the coin would return in season three, the quite chilling and memorable villains would not return as they were here. Both seasons one and three had two-part stories, but season two had none; this would definitely have managed to make an engaging two-parter.

Best Part: A tie between Ryan and Jack reacting to losing Micki, and then later Micki restored to life.

Cursed Item: The Coin of Ziocles

After All

The first time I saw this episode, I was shocked. And every subsequent time, it still surprises me and unsettles me. Micki is my favourite character, and the one with whom I always identified, so this episode is really quite stunning. It's also touching, seeing Ryan and Jack react to their loss, and genuinely clever how they manage to trick the villain into undoing the damage...more or less. It certainly raises plenty of questions with no easy answers.
