A lot of TV stations have forgotten what "quality" means. But not Channel 62. They NEVER knew what it meant. "Weird Al" Yankovic is George Newman, a daydreamer who becomes the manager of a small TV station that's losing money as quickly as it's losing viewers. Before long he's programming shows like "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse," "Wheel Of Fish" and "Raul's Wild Kingdom." But can Channel 62's new popularity save it from sinister forces? To find out… don't touch that dial!
Pre-roder UHF.

Any head-cannons for a contemporary English-language voice cast for Golden Bat?
that's a kinda hard question because I can never remember voice actor names, just the people they play, BUT
for Phantoma himself, my ideal VA for him would Ian Richardson, but he is unfortunately no longer alive, so I'd choose Gary Oldman or Kevin Michael Richardson as my next option. I imagine Goldie's actual speaking voice to be deep but quiet, maybe a little gravely at first because he hasn't spoken much (even though he typically speaks through telepathy. it's a sort of mentality state of mind thing) but eventually loses that gravely tone. his intimidation laugh is very loud and cacophonous, but his actual, genuine laugh is very boisterous. it would also have a sort of echo to it. Dark Bat could share a voice with him but much raspier sounding.
ngl my heart is saying Kristen Schaal for Marie but I'm not sure how fitting that would be in actuality. I mostly know her as Mabel Pines who is such a sweet fun loving, creature loving kid to me, so it feels right.
I could totally see Andy Berman (Dib Membrane) as Takeru. they both have science dads, both deal unusual creatures and an alien, and are very energetic to the point it gets them in trouble. literally perfect.
Dr Yamatone... actually. why not Gedde Watanabe? I know him best as Hayao Sato/Ultradad, but they also have stuff in common. they're both scientists and they're both dads of very energetic, cocky sons. Yamatone is lucky he doesn't have to deal with Kenji's shenanigans at least.
I think Dan Green would make a GREAT Nazo.
for Mazo/Gorgo, I think the VA for the 1985 Horned king (John Hurt) could be fun. alternatively, Nick Jameson, specifically doing a Dr Loboto type voice (I'm more used to his Italian dub voice, which is a little nasally).
Dareo is literally the only one I'm at a complete loss for. maybe Christopher Charles Mintz-Plasse? I can't decide. honestly I'm torn between him, Zach Callison, or Jeremy Shada rn.
for the lady who looks like Lapis (I forgot her name) I think it'd be extremely funny for Jennifer Paz to voice her.
and for fun throw in Gianni Matragrano to do voices for Nazo's goons. he's GREAT at doing goon voices.

April Foolishness :UHF
On this installment of April Foolishness,we will look at the first cinematic outing by comedy music legend Weird Al Yankovic
In this 1989 film George Newman (Weird Al Yankovic ) is a daydreamer who is put in charge of a dinky little UHF station ,who with the help of his friends and neighbors ,makes it a serious compettor with the local network affiliate Channel 8,with Channel 8's owner RJ Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy) seeking to bring down Newman and his friends
So I am a fan of Weird Al ,his songs and appearences in various projects tend to bring a smile to my face.....And I am happy to say I am a fan of this movie .This film was clearly made to be a cash in on Weird Als popularity ,who everyone thought would be a flash in the pan star (35 years later and hes still going strong,aint that funny ) so seeing the film.....I can see where it zags rather then zigs .Like the film couldve been just a showcase for Al ,have a few songs ,and have all the comedy come from this weird guy ....But thats not the movie AT ALL ,its a very solid comedy that happens to have Weird Al as the lead .Yeah George is the focus but its not a weird guy in a normal world...Its a kind of odd guy in alreaddy kind of odd world. Al nicely walks the line of being the goofball when necesarry and being a good straightman .Cause the film is peopled with oddballs .Like this is a movie where one of the characters is revealed to be an ALIEN and Im like "That makes sense ",this is just that kind of world .The fantasy sequences are fun and allow Al to do some film parodies ,the programs on TV Are WONDEFULLY bizarre ,and its just a gag a minute movie .The cast is good ,like I said Al is a good lead ,but the supporting cast really shines .Michael Richards gets the most screen time of Georges friends as an enthusiastic janitor who becomes a childrens TV host is pretty funny ,Fran Dresher is great as the secretary turned reporter,Anthony Geary is wonderfully odd as the engineer whose kind of a mad scientist ,Gedde Watnabe has rightfully become a meme legend as karate teacher turned game show host ,and the late Trinidad Silva who sadly only filmed two scenes before tragically dying in a car accident is a scene stealer as aweird guy with a whole lot of animals (The flying poodle scene is so dark it is funny ).I also really love the films villain,Kevin Mccarthy wasnt really known for comedy,but he UNDERSTOOD the assignment ,realishing playing such a wonderful scene chewing villain(REportedly hed laugh after every take ).Also Billy Barty is in the movie....I dunno,I just love Billy Barty ,hes always a plus for me .I also just love the films vibe of a bunch of weirdo united to make people happy and stick it to big guys .Also there is a music video poortion and an end credits song by Al so dont worry,if you want some Al music there is some
My problems are nitpicks.One is I just wanted more scenes of the group uniting .I dont care for the characters of Bob or Georges girlfriend Teri ,in fact couldve done without the romantic subplot ,and yeah,its an 80's comedy so there are a few "poorly aged"jokes
.....But honestly I LOVE this movie,highly reccomended

Andrew Forell’s 2022 Favorite Five plus 22
Anteloper photo by Tim Saccenti
Here, in no particular order, are the five albums I’ve spent the most time with this year and another 22 for 22 that I am still enjoying or just catching up with.
Anteloper — Pink Dolphins (International Anthem)
youtube
In July I concluded my review by saying “The thrill of Pink Dolphins is the sense that branch and Nazary have a form of echolocation which guides them, that no matter how deep or murky the waters, they know exactly where the other is and what they are doing”. The loss of jaimie branch in August adds a poignancy to Pink Dolphins and the musical understanding she and Jason Nazary had developed and were deepening with every recording will be sorely missed.
Blackhaine — Armour II (Fixed Abode)
youtube
Dancer and choreographer Tom Heyes is best known in the US for his work with the artist formerly known as Kanye West. As Blackhaine he brings the ritualistic intensity of his dance style to the words and music of Armour II. He raps and sings about guilt, paranoia and the violence at the heart of contemporary Britain in the thick accent of his native Lancashire over a mix of drill and cinematic soundscapes. His collaboration with Iceboy Violet and Blood Orange on “Prayer” is one of the songs of year.
Kevin Richard Martin — Downtown & Nightcrawler (Self-released)
youtube
Kevin Richard Martin AKA The Bug delves into the obsidian depths on these two releases. Slabs of dank, dub inflected post-industrial ambience conjure the pearl clutching dread associated with the housing estates & so-called slums for which the tracks on Downtown are named but also a sense of the communities surviving there in the face of poverty and the threats of gentrification. Nightcrawler is a sort of companion piece, a cinematic post jazz soundtrack to the dangerous glamor of pre-dawn streets which sounds, if possible, like Bohren & Der Club of Gore’s narcoleptic cousins. Highly recommended for underground commutes.
The Photocopies — greatest hits volume 1 & volume 2 (Self-released)
Sean Turner is a Londoner in Michigan with a deep love of 1980s & 1990s indie guitar music and an output whose prolificacy is only surpassed by its quality. greatest hits volume 1 & volume 2 collect 30 tracks from singles and EPs released between June 2021 and September 2022. Although Turner isn’t reinventing any wheels, his knack for supple melodies and lyrics both heartful and witty elevates these songs. “Control Freak,” “Pop Quiz” and “(Wishing I Had) Tickets for Saint Etienne” are all giddy propulsion and self-aware pop culture references. Even at his most lovelorn the hooks are razor sharp, “I Can’t Imagine What You See In Him” combines yearning and snark over Wedding Present guitars and a glam stomp that The Sweet would have killed for. It’s great fun and heaven knows we’ve been miserable enough.

When a Stranger Calls Back (Fred Walton, 1993)
Cast: Carol Kane, Charles Durning, Jill Schoelen, Gene Lythgow, Kevin McNulty, Cheryl Wilson, Jerry Wasserman. Screenplay: Fred Walton. Cinematography: David Geddes. Production design: Chris August. Film editing: David Byron Lloyd. Music: Dana Kaproff.
I haven't seen When a Stranger Calls, Fred Walton's 1979 film, but I gather that it helped launch the horror movie trope "the phone call's coming from inside the house!" There are no calls coming from inside or outside the house in Walton's sequel, When a Stranger Calls Back, because the phone line has been cut. (The film was obviously made before the ubiquity of cell phones.) The setup is a standard one for horror movies: A babysitter is terrorized by a mysterious stranger. In this case, Julia (Jill Schoelen) is a high school student called in at the last moment to sit for a couple's two small children, who have already gone to bed by the time she arrives. As she settles in, there's a knock on the door, which she cautiously answers from inside, not unlocking or opening the door. The voice outside explains that his car has broken down and he'd like to use the phone to call for help. She volunteers to make the call herself, and after some back and forth, he reluctantly agrees, giving her the information she needs. But when she goes to the phone, the line is dead. Still wary, she lies to the man outside, claiming that she made the call, but hoping he'll go elsewhere for help. Walton handles this part of the film efficiently and effectively as things gradually escalate until Julia realizes that the man is inside the house. Fortunately, the parents arrive just in time to save her, but they discover that the children are missing from their upstairs bedroom. Then the film falls apart. Five years pass, and Julia is now a college student. Still suffering the effects of the earlier incident, she begins noticing strange things happening in her apartment. The police are dismissive, but they call on a counselor from the college to help. She turns out to be Jill Johnson (Carol Kane), who was the victim in original film. Jill has good reason to trust Julia's instincts and calls in John Clifford (Charles Durning), the detective from her case. But the convergence of the separate experiences of Jill and Julia muddles the narrative, as both women become terrorized by the new bad guy. And then the movie comes to a thuddingly ridiculous end, as Clifford figures out that the guy must be a ventriloquist. As any 10-year-old kid who has ever tried it knows, ventriloquists rely on visual misdirection: moving the dummy's mouth while keeping theirs nearly motionless. They can't really "throw" their voices, as the movie suggests the guy outside Julia's door did. When a Stranger Calls Back was made for television and first appeared on Showtime, then was released on video. Despite some creepy moments, I suspect that it would have been laughed out of theaters.
