Face Off was great, especially early on, but you're right about them pushing too hard with it. There are only so many makeup artists to use as contestants so I feel after awhile the quality began to drop. That, and they tended to overuse challenges involving aliens, monsters, and "evil" versions of normal things. Make a sinister Hansel and Gretel! Next, make a spooky Cinderella! Take a candy and make it... a monster! Season after season, it eventually got stale. These types of makeups give the contestants lots to work with and look impressive, but I can only see so many "This is an alien from an aquatic world!" before I just don't care anymore.

One dude who left the show under what I'll refer to as "circumstances", made a movie called "Frankenfake" about his "experiences" on the show, it's a fascinating piece of work, that I've never been able to find online.

Nobody in this thread has ever heard the Monster Mash, they've only ever heard a song about the Monster Mash

"The Monster Mash" is a dance, the song is about monsters DOING the Monster Mash. There is no "The Monster Mash" to hear, other than the song.

I liked this film as a dumb teenager, when it was released in the UK as "Politically Correct Party Animals", and I love this film now, because the DVD commentary is just Jeremy Piven complaining that the writers/director/producers hired him, but refused to let him do any improv.

He's SO mad about it, and they put it on the DVD any way, it's just the best worst thing.

I don't believe in Primus or Unicron, and the Quintesson hypothesis is ludicrous. Those five-faced clowns couldn't design their way out of a wet paper bag. Cybertronians evolved from naturally occurring gears and springs.

Don't. It makes Highlander 2 look like T2.

It's worth watching the bit where they're casually loading a car to a Nu-metal cover of "Princes Of The Universe".

I wondered the other night if the Brass Eye episodes that aren't Paedo-Geddon have aged well but I'm too worried to check in case they have not.

They're a worrying prediction of what news is actually like today.

And they mostly hold up!

There's an epsiode of Spaced (which was just about contemporaneous with League of Gentlemen I think) that's extremely uncomfortable now, in that it's not even just incidental transphobic humor but the entire plot resolves with the protagonist attacking a trans woman in a fit of rage (who is in fairness being completely horrible to another character, but that's not really why it happens).

Most of the show isn't (to my recollection) like that in the least which makes it really stand out.

The episode also contains my favorite joke in the entire series ("It's not finished...it's finished") so it's especially uncomfortable.

I think this is the episode "Art", but the plot of the episode is about a Job interview and an art opening, and also one of the characters being out of his mind on cheap speed and Resident Evil games. The character you're talking about isn't a Trans Woman, they're based on / directly parody Leigh Bowery, but Brian refers to them as non-binary, not that it excuses violence.

I rewatched the episode to be sure, and while I don't think you remember the plot correctly, you may have done it to black out the surprisingly large number of T-Bombs they drop.

It's possible that the UK got a different edit. It was definitely there on my first release DVD the last time I watched it, because I watched it with friends and had to ask them to leave the room while I FFed to the right place. Unfortunately I can't confirm this for you now, as I donated the disc to charity a couple of years ago.

I don't have the VHS, but I've the first UK DVD release, and the intro doesn't have the "Outside" reveal on it.

I've watched the Directors Cut more in the last few years, so that voice-over is really jarring.

It doesn’t help that in the interim Matt Ryan came along and knocked Constantine out of the park. Think what you will about the material he’s given, the guy is John Constantine.

"DC's Legends Of Tomorrow is the best live-action show DC has ever managed, and Constantine is great in it." is what I say!

Even so that awful Rick and Morty Trek cartoon is the designated LGBTQ+ containment pod for NuTrek and they've shown zero shame or intellect when it comes to fellating past series, so if there's a place for Bashir/Garak to get a hat nod it'd be there.

At the risk of this being too “Fan speculation that did not age well,” Georgiou is already being sent back in time by the Guardian from the 32nd century, just dump her post-Picard S3 and have her clean up S31 as her final act of penance or whatever. Doesn’t mess up continuity, but sandboxes S31 to pre-2402 at least.

I was hoping it was going to be a prequel, but set around TMP time, just wanna see more of that vibe.
