I am unrepentantly garrulous about my obsession with the Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie podcast, in which our effervescent host disinters and forensically (and hilariously) analyzes ultra-kitsch unloved made-for-TV movies from the seventies and eighties. In his latest installment Pancake is joined by guest Andrew Hopf to discuss freaky 1973 ABC thriller Scream, Pretty Peggy. (The weirdly un-tantalizing tagline “A pretty co-ed’s part-time job leads to a bizarre pay-off!” barely hints at what an oddity this movie is). The titular Peggy (played by Sian Barbara Allen) is a hopelessly naïve and gauche mooncalf-type who takes a housekeeping job at the Elliott family mansion presided over by sculptor son Jeffrey (Ted Bessell – aka Marlo Thomas’ fiancé Donald from That Girl!) and fearsome gorgon-like alcoholic mama Mrs. Elliott (special guest star Bette Davis, pictured. Wait until you hear Pancake’s Davis impression). If Peggy wasn’t so damn unworldly, alarm bells would be ringing. Jeffrey’s menacing satanic sculptures are clearly the expression of a troubled psyche. Then there’s the conspicuously absent mysterious sister Jennifer everyone keeps referring to. “She went to Europe, I think,” Mrs. Elliott explains not very convincingly. “Yes. Europe.” What follows is heavily (and I mean HEAVILY) indebted to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. For Davis completists, Scream is a must. This dates from her wilderness years when her opportunities were limited to obscure films no one saw (like Connecting Rooms (1970), Bunny O’Hare (1971) and The Scientific Cardplayer (1972)) and flop TV pilots (The Judge and Jake Wyler (1972), Madame Sin (1972). Davis is on ferocious hagsploitation form here and her delivery of the line “I fell. I’m sorry. I’m afraid. I’ve. Broken. My. LEG” alone makes this gem worth catching. (Scream, Pretty Peggy used to be viewable on YouTube (that’s where I watched it years ago) but has since been deleted. It IS available on DVD and Blu-ray as of 2021).

Red, White…and Blaine? This week, Peaches and Michael are having an Idol Worship celebration of a filmmaker who is truly “Best in Show” – Christopher Guest!  In addition to discussing this comedy auteur’s foundational work in the mockumentary space, our hosts delve into the fabulous troupe of performers who populate his world. Joining the conversation is producer extraordinaire Brian Nolan, who shares how crucial WAITING FOR GUFFMAN was to his own experiences in the creative space. Then, acclaimed film & TV star Sam Pancake stops by to talk about the power of improv comedy in the “Guest style” and his analysis of that gently hilarious world. From Mitch & Mickey to HOME FOR PURIM, this episode has it all! Go!

Shout-out to the scene where Dean accidentally flashes Sam in front of Mrs. Butters and Jack and is so casual about it. Sam got a front-row seat to Dean's dick and balls and Dean's reaction was basically just "woops lol". Meanwhile, Sam was reeling like a flashbang victim. Dean is way too comfortable with his brother.

Does Sam have a favorite pancake flavor? Would Kaidan make him different varieties? Then again, would Sam be able to taste anything different between them? On the other hand, what's Kaidan's favorite pancake?

This all brought upon my need to make some apple pancakes. Also I'm slightly upset with you as I can't look at pancakes the same ever again lol.

Oooh, what a fun question!

Yes, I think post-war, when they are figuring out how domestic lives work, Kaidan would get a little creative with pancakes. Apple cinnamon. Gingerbread. Red Velvet. Chocolate chip. Pumpkin. Bacon.

Sam would dutifully eat all of them. His favorite would be plain that comes from a box, much to Kaidan's dismay. Worse, Sam will buy frozen pancakes, microwave them, and eat them naked rolled into a tube.

He has, however, reluctantly become a snob about syrup, not because he actually cares, but because he doesn't actually want to be thrown out of the house if he comes home from the store with whatever the 2180s version is of Mrs. Buttersworth.

Kaidan's favorite pancakes are probably the bacon ones. Sam does like those, because it puts two foods in one and now he doesn't have to eat two foods. He enjoys convenience.

I like Sam Boole as much as anyone in the fandom, but honestly I feel like the way fanon often relegates her to comic relief does her character a bit of a disservice. Like, we KNOW Dogen had a shitty home life, with the implication being that his parents had no idea how to deal with his powers and essentially fobbed him off onto the Psychonauts the moment he was old enough. It’s not hard to imagine that Sam didn’t have it a whole lot better.

Sam and Dogen’s parents, from what little information we’re given, seem to have been woefully unprepared to raise a powerfully psychic child, let alone two, and it’s only by being in marginally better control of her abilities that Sam seems to have avoided the same treatment as her brother. Instead, Sam comes off as a Wild Child, someone who was basically set loose to run around in the woods by parents too terrified to actually raise her. But just like her brother, once she’s old enough, she gets to be the Psychonauts’ problem, to be Compton’s problem, instead of theirs. I think it’s telling that Sam seems at best indifferent to the weight her family name carries, and at worst sees it as an annoying magnet for hangers-on.

From this lens, much of Sam’s “quirkiness” comes off as a lot less funny. Her weird ideas and mannerisms might be at least partly a result of being raised more by animals than by her own parents. And her domineering attitude toward those same animals might be attributed to her venting that neglect on a convenient punching bag, deliberately or not, because she was never taught any better. And while we know basically nothing about Sam’s parents, I can’t help but wonder what Compton’s relationship with his own kids is/was like. There’s a tragic undercurrent of generational trauma in the Boole family that’s seriously underexplored.

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT I CAN'T 😭

Sam always backtracks when he accidentally makes reference to himself as Sam Beckett during a leap EXCEPT in a girlsam leap s5e13. Where he’s making pancakes a la Beckett. And he DOUBLES DOWN ON IT!

Something something Sam being so comfortable as the leapee that he feels enough like himself 2 slip up -> the one time he doesn’t take it back he’s a woman -> he does it TWICE IN ONE EPISODE!! What does it all mean!
