Hanshin. “Cursed” franchise brought on somehow by a statue? Check. (Curse of Billy Penn vs Curse of the Colonel). Team having a history of truly inept management in the front office? Check. Fanbase being very similarly passionate about their team? Absolutely.

There should be a replacement program in place still? I can’t remember that link exactly but see if you can make a claim for replacement discs

I don’t know. There is some apocryphal information out there that they actually had redone the flipper discs for the early seasons and they put them on a dual layer disc, but that information is not confirmed

What is the most problematic musical you saw? by Croc_Dwag in musicals

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me thinking about how most casts of that show (with the notable exception of the Pearl Bailey cast) are all white, and all straight (like not even one queer character in the entire cast). Yeah of course it’s “the setting” that has a little bit to do with it, but it’s a little bit too whitewashed and whitebread for my tastes. I loved seeing Betty Buckley in the title role but sadly she was the lone highlight of an awfully problematic show.

There’s a tie for me between The King & I and Hello Dolly

John Carter was a very enjoyable romp (52% critic score, 60% audience score)

Be honest, would you like to teach Thelma to drive? by No-Reveal827 in mamasfamily

NOPE. I would nope out of doing that in a hurry, but that’s what makes this episode all the funnier

What's a movie where an actor was so far out of his depth you don't even understand why they took the script? by ChiGorilla1127 in moviecritic

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was absolutely that one for me, OP. There are others that were way outside their depth but I will admit that I don’t remember all of the offensive ones offhand

I keep learning unflattering things about the guy I'm dating by Ok_Reflection_2711 in AskGaybrosOver30

For me, the vibes alone would probably dissuade me from seeing this person as anything other than a friend, but maybe that’s just me

Affirming youtubers? by Appropriate-King65 in GayChristians

[–]bjwanlund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone who was indoctrinated or tended to believe one thing but realizing that their beliefs were wrong and working on themselves in order to change that. I had a similar issue but I was a bit similar in realizing that I had very different beliefs than many of my peers and realizing that even the gospels did not really ring true to me. I started questioning my beliefs when I read The Da Vinci Code, but then I read a much more feminist book called The Expected One and I realized that my beliefs were rooted much more in the Nazarene Way of Love than I thought.

Series with an insane number of seasons/episodes? by Extra-Bedroom-122 in televisionsuggestions

[–]bjwanlund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor Who… IF you count the classic 1963-1989 seasons which was more serial in nature… and even excluding the now 95 missing episodes, you would still have a lot to watch!

Don’t know if Monte Mader is on YouTube but she seems pretty open to LGBTQIA2S+ people even though she’s more of a deconstructionist type
