You're Never Going to Believe This, But Disney Has Rebooted an Old IP, and Then Race- and Gender-Swapped the Main Character!

Story about comedian John Mulaney's intervention, due to his abuse of a variety of prescription drugs and the non-prescription drug cocaine.

The intervention is noteworthy because it was done by Mulaney's comedian and comic actress friends, and featured some of the funniest people in the world, as well as Seth Meyers. "We didn't want this turning into funny people just joking around," Bill Hader explained. "We included Seth Meyers to bring the mood down and make the proceedings somber and awkward, like his TV talk show."

From Patrick in Ohio:

ABC Hospital Drama the GOOD DOCTOR

The autistic doctor, who's the main character on the show, correctly identifies the male patient as a male while everyone around him is in acute denial of reality.
This clip will leave you laughing so hard you might need to see a Dr, also I think they were trying to top NBC and their Roe vs Wade episode

If you think that maybe they're making fun of the non-autistic people by saying "it takes an autistic to see the plain truth" -- nah. "The Woke Doctor," I mean "The Good Doctor" has previously praised BLM and abortion.

Anyone interested in a horror movie?

How about a Christian horror movie?

The premise of Nefarious is that a demon-influenced man played by Sean Patrick Flannery is sowing evil wherever he goes for the glory of Satan.

Alan at Film Threat reviewed it, and says Nefarious is good. He said it's like a horror version of the Screwtape Letters, a bit. I saw someone else calling it "preachy" but I think that comes with the territory.

I asked "Is This Something?" about this movie last year. It looked good, but I never bothered to watch it.

The Critical Drinker says Fall actually is something.

I guess I'll have to give it a spin.

More: Disney has, get this, rebooted an old intellectual property, and, get this, gender and race-swapped the lead!

Are you ready for Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., about a genius teen girl (is there any other kind?) who becomes a doctor by age 18!

Wow, a reboot plus a race and gender swap?! Disney Brain Trust, by God, you've struck gold again! Is there no end to your creative prowess?!?!

Thanks to weft-cut loop.
