In the ’60s, we had the Rat Back. The ’80s were about the Brat Pack. Twenty years after that, we got to know Frat Pack. And now it is all about the S.A.T. (Seniors Acting Terribly) Pack.
Some of the S.A.T. Pack movies are 80 For Brady, Book Club, Summer Camp, Poms, and Going In Style. On July 26th, Susan Sarandon, Bette Midler, Megan Mullally, and Sheryl Lee Ralph will star in The Fabulous Four.
The film follows three life-long friends (Sarandon, Mullally, and Ralph) who travel to Key West, Florida to be bridesmaids in a surprise wedding of their college girlfriend Marilyn (Midler). Once there, sisterhoods are rekindled, the past rises up again in all its glory, and there are enough sparks, drinks and romance to change all their lives in ways they never expected.
As someone who loves Pack movies, I can’t wait to see this movie because it is good fun and future goals.
It is December, and we just learned what is the first broadcast scripted show that won’t be back for another season on Fox. That title goes to Monarch.
Never heard of it? It was a Country Music Soap Opera that starred Trace Adkins and Susan Sarandon. Well, they lied about the latter because they killed her off in the first episode. Not that that was a bad thing. But they kept pushing that she was starring in the series.
When it comes to the show, I tried watching it, but after three episodes, I stopped. I just couldn’t do it anymore, and I have low standards. Since it is all about me, that is why it won’t be back. Not that it did terribly in the ratings.
Monarch, the County Music Primetime Soap that stars Trace Adkins and Susan Sarandon, was supposed to debut at the end of the month. However, Fox announced yesterday, they are holding the drama until the Fall.
“With an incredible pedigree of talent and musical performances, the powerfully compelling drama, MONARCH, is a top priority for FOX Entertainment in 2022. Unfortunately, due to the unavoidable realities of the pandemic and the profound impact Covid-19 continues to have on our industry and around the world, it is necessary to reschedule MONARCH’s January 30 debut to the Fall. As the cornerstone of FOX’s new 2022-23 slate, shifting a show of this magnitude allows us to have its entire first season produced, create additional, high-profile content and promotional windows to support launch, and give our viewers the best opportunity to enjoy the series as intended with a non-compromised run of episodes. We thank our cast, producers, writers and the entire crew for their tireless work and continued dedication to the country music-filled world that is MONARCH.”
Personally, I am bummed. I was looking forward to it. But, I can wait a few months for the series to debut.
No word, what show will replace it, but I am sure Fox will tell us soon enough.
Susan Sarandon is going Country with Trace Adkins as her husband in Fox’s new show Monarch. After watching the first trailer, I am all in like a cowboy impregnating his prized horse with some champion sperm. That sounds so wrong, but I have only lived in big cities, so this Yankee does not know any country references.
Maybe I will learn some when I watch the drama that debuts with a two-night event starting on January 30th and concluding February 1st on its regularly scheduled night.
For those of you, weren’t as turned on with the show as I was after watching the trailer, here is what it is about. In MONARCH, reigning King of Country Music ALBIE ROMAN (Adkins), along with his insanely talented, but tough as nails wife, Queen of Country Music DOTTIE CANTRELL ROMAN (Sarandon), have created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown NICOLETTE “NICKY” ROMAN (Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom, alongside her brother, LUKE ROMAN (Sasse), and sister, GIGI ROMAN (Ditto).
The drama also stars Anna Friel, Josh Sasse, Beth Ditto, Meagan Holder, Inigo Pascual, Martha Higareda. and Emma Milani.
They better get the mechanical bull ready for me to sit on because that is where I will be watching the series from. Yeehaw!
Tenacious D called some friends up and asked them to do the Time Warp with the band for an important message. Yesterday, the Republicans in Senate sent us into a time warp back to the past by confirming Amy Coney Bennet as a Supreme Court justice. If you are as pissed off about it as I am, then you have to vote by November 3rd.
That is why Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Eric Andre, Ezra Miller, George Takei, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Lee Curtis, John Heilemann, John Waters, Karen O, King Princess, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Michael Peña, Peaches, Phoebe Bridgers, Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman, Senator Elizabeth Warren,
and Susan Sarandon sang the most known song from Rocky Horror Picture Show for Rock the Vote.
Polls mean nothing if you don’t vote, so do it. It feels as good as sex! So let that feeling toucha toucha toucha you.
On that note, dammit, Janet, it is nice to see Sarandon finally do something with Rocky Horror, but where was Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick? The two of them, along with Nell Campbell, are taking part in a Halloween fundraiser for the Wisconsin Democratic Party on Saturday. Thus they could have sang a line.
