Prisoner rewatch: FALL OUT (the end; ∞). if social media existed when this aired in 1968? the furor over the finales of Seinfeld, Sopranos, Game of Thrones etc would be minor fits compared w the rage, irritation & bewilderment over this ep. McGoohan said he had to flee to Switzerland after it aired

Prisoner rewatch: ONCE UPON A TIME (universally-accepted 16). The most brutal therapy session on television, or an acid trip with a malevolent guide. No. 2 goes "degree absolute" in a last, desperate attempt to break No. 6 by reducing him, as The Godfathers sang, to birth, school, work, death

I Am the Night: The Ultimate Unauthorized History of Batman: The Animated Series is both the story of the creation of a landmark cartoon (packed with new interviews with the folks who made it happen) and a deep dive into what it meant to both animation and the character of Batman. It drops on 9/1.

RIP Kenji Ohba, one of my favorite tokusatsu actors. A brilliant example of the power of finding a charismatic stunt performer and putting them at the center of your show. Always moving dynamically, jumping over things that could simply be walked around, and just a joy to see on screen.

The stuntperson is the lifeblood of the henshin hero medium, and no one embodied that more that Kenji Ohba. Every life-and-death stunt he did, every battle he won, and every pose he made was screen fighting action in its purest form. Another JAC legend becomes immortal in us all.
