James Faraci The Last Of The Americans

(Scene begins with a finger tap on a smartwatch as the 1994 American Gladiators plays. The scene cuts to James jumping down a cliff from the 0:00-0:03 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators’ original run. The 0:04 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows James Faraci landing in Santa’s sleigh and entirely morphing into James Faraci The Last Of The Americans Christmas mode with his long sleeve button-up Shirt with Christmas Trees on it, Blue cargo Jeans, and Black Work boots until 0:07 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run as scene cuts to James and Santa riding with the 12th Doctor and Clara at the 0:13 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run. 0:14-0:17 show Rebecca Yaun and Nick Yaun as the two run after the Grinch before cutting to Doug Yaun baking cookies before cutting to the 0:17-0:19 mark as it shows Paulo & Brenda Fonseca popping in A Muppets Christmas Special on a player before cutting to the 0:20-0:28 mark as we see Eric Kurtzke, Andrew Beach and Olivia Horvath decorating as it cuts to the doors outside of James’ space and time machine as the 0:28 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows when James stands on top of his Time and Space device and tosses a candy cane then cuts over to multiple clips from the past ten years of “The Last Of The Americans” Christmas reviews/top 12s as the Candy Cane flips end over end as the 0:36 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run plays when James grabs it while on top of a slab while doing a heroic pose with Paulo & Brenda Fonseca, Eric Kurtzke, Olivia Horvath on his right and Rebecca & Nick Yaun, Renee Miller, Doug Yaun and Andrew Beach on his left doing their own heroic poses dressed in Christmas Garb on a white background the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera pulls back to see James and everyone else on top of a slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before all while snow and jingling bells are heard and seen in the foreground.

I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans, and the views I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. In 1999, many people thought that once the MST3K episode “Diabolik” aired, that was the end of the line for the crew aboard the Sattelite of Love! (Cut to clips of MST3K “Diabolik” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And to be perfectly honest, it ended on the right notes. Mike was going home after Pearl Forrester had done everything she could to torment them. He took Tom and Crow to his little neck of the woods and did what they were doing while on the Sattelite but now in their own home. While GYPC decided to make a few bucks on the Internet Boom then. (Cut to the current era of MST3K as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Cut to 2010, Joel Hodgson had just reacquired the rights to MST3K ownership and decided to bring the show back. Working with “Shout Factory,” who had kept the MST3K brand alive since obtaining the rights to distribute the episodes they could legally share on the home market and the burgeoning streaming service market began plans to revive the brand and by 2015 had successfully crowdfunded the series for a new season, found a new home with Netflix and had gotten a new line up in the cast including Jonah Ray to play Jonah Heston, Hampton Yount to be the third performer for Crow T. Robot, Baron Vaughn to be Tom Servo’s third performer, Patton Oswald as TV’s Max, son of TV’s Frank and Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester along with returning bit player Mary Jo Pehl to stop by as Pearl Forrester and by 2017 The Sattelite Of Love had returned as Netflix aired the new MST3K series and I loved it. There was a mix of the old style of how to riff a movie and a newer style that allowed more funny moments in the host segments and on the riffs. But by 2019, after two successful seasons, Netflix gave the series the ax. However, Joel was unwilling to let go; he went back to crowdfunding and successfully created his own streaming service, “The Gizmoplex,” to help Joel fund the following season after getting the ax from Netflix. This new season would bring Jonah back as well as bring in occasional road tour hostess Emily Marsh as Emily Connor, and Joel Hodgson came back for two whole episodes as Joel Robinson and a co-host of the final episode (For now) as the latest crowdfunding failed to meet its goal. And with the future of the series now in question, again, we can be sure of one thing: no one will be forgetting MST3K anytime soon, and with The Gizmoplex still running, we’ve got enough MST3K for a hundred dozen Turkey Day Marathons

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. So yeah, forty years ago, four comedians came together to make an instant classic in the Comedy Horror Genre. (Cut to “Ghostbusters” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA(V.O.):
“Ghostbusters” was released in 1984 and quickly became a smash hit. It spawned a sequel in 1989, a long-running Saturday Morning Cartoon and a sequel series throughout the 1980s and 1990s, a quasi-reboot in 2016, and a legacy sequel in 2021, which was so great that Columbia and its parent company SONY greenlighted a sequel that would continue the story further. The cast returned, and everyone was excited. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. In 1969, after “The Twilight Zone” had made a mark in the syndication market, its creator, after years of struggle to get another series to have the same impact, came upon a series, and it became as revered as its predecessor. (Cut to clips from “Rod Serling’s Night Gallery,” Steven Spielberg’s work as a director, and “Tiny Toon Adventures” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA(V.O.):
“Night Gallery,” while like “The Twilight Zone” is an anthology series, differs by the fact that it’s more of the horrors of the Supernatural than the sci-fi tones of “Twilight Zone” it lasted three seasons and had some great writers including H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, Twilight Zone writer Richard Matheson and Serling himself. The pilot movie was written by Serling, and one of the segments was directed by a little-known Steven Spielberg. It starred Joan Crawford in one of her final roles. Here, his career started with directing jobs that included movies like “The Sugarland Express,” the TV Movie “Duel,” and then a film about a Shark that I think did well because his career rocketed off afterward. By the end of the 1980s, he had become successful. He was sitting down with his kids and didn’t like how the shows were either too commercial or too saccharine. So, when he decided to work on making Children’s entertainment as fun without it being commercial and educational without being overly cloying. Thus, in 1990, Steven Spielberg signed on to executive produce a cartoon show called “Tiny Toon Adventures,” it was fantastic, entertaining, fun, and so memorable that people still talk about it as a treasured show. But after 97 episodes, the series was concluded with a movie and a couple of specials. The movie “How I spent my summer vacation” was already reviewed by my friend Rowdy and a mutual friend known as “Rosen,” I agree with what they said about the movie. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
However, to celebrate this series, his career in both Movies and TV and the movies that inspired Spielberg. The gang from “Acme Acres” decided to go to Spielberg’s past as a thank-you for everything he did for them. (Cut to the parody of the “Night Gallery” intro from Tiny Toon Adventures entitled “Night Ghoulery,” then cut to clips of the special as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
“Tiny Toon Adventures: Night Ghoulery” does satire the idea of the series that gave Spielberg his first big break, and it also does some good satire of the movies and TV shows that inspired Spielberg when he was a kid. So, does he do it justice? Or will it be as cheap as the black velvet dogs playing poker art piece?

I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. While I am male, I know about the popularity of Lisa Frank. (Cut to images of Lisa Frank as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Lisa Frank was the epitome of cool if you were a girl. And I had female relatives at that point who were into that stuff. However, as someone who likes art, I can see how she wanted a brighter color palette; the art reflects her style in more ways than one. Her work is very colorful, neon, and shiny, and has many animated animalistic details and stripes. (Cut to the Universal classic “Frankenstein” movies as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
“Frankenstein,” created by Mary Shelley, is about Dr Victor Frankenstein, in which he uses parts from different corpses to bring life back from the dead. At the same time, in the first movie, he was excited that his creation existed. The sequels had the Dr. Frankenstein-esque character either horrified, surprised, or some similar emotion when in the book, he was horrified by what he had done and spent the remainder of his life trying to find and destroy the creature, which is what happened in several variations of the movie. (Cut to James physically)

Who thought these two properties would be good to combine? (Cut to a picture of Diablo Cody and her work as a writer and director. Cut to James) Uh, is she in the director’s chair?

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. There’s a reason I’m dressed like this. Apparently, some “Big Names” accepted my invitation to come to the “New York Renaissance Fair” and I will be their guide. However, someone else will be going to the Renaissance Fair with us, and if you want to listen, then allow me to open the door. (James opens the door as Linkara sings the “Camelot” soundtrack to everyone’s irritation.) There’s a reason why I have added soundproofing in the building. But as I looked at myself dressed like I came out of the nut house, I figured I’d check out a movie that was somewhat set in that period.

Dressed like he’s going to a Renaissance Fair and Reviewing an underrated Disney Classic. Let’s see how this goes.

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans, and the views I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. 2024 has been a year that just doesn’t want to stop, and one of the big ones was that of noted “Bad Girl” Shannen Doherty. (Cut to clips of Shannen Doherty as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And I say the following about her: While she did have problems and issues, I think the press overemphasized what was happening. I had met her once at a convention. With most of those people, it was “Hello, How are you, etc.” when I met Shannen, it was “Hi” like we were old friends that reconnected. It was at that point that I told her about my Top 13 Charmed Episodes list and what it would take for her to be around her former costars, especially Alyssa Milano, because they’ve been like oil and Nitroglycerine (Not exactly a safe combination). Throughout the day, I had her and the others from “Charmed.” Shannon was a professional on camera and a sweetheart who surprisingly understood my sense of humor. Her career started during the last few years of the “Little House” TV series as Jenny Wilder. She also went on to voice a character in the movie “The Secret Of Nimh” and co-star in the series “Our House” with Wilford Brimley. By the start of the 1990s, her career kicked off with the series “Beverly Hills, 90210.” which led to other career opportunities, including working with Kevin Smith in “Mallrats,” and other movies and directing, as well as starring in the series “Charmed.” (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And the movie that helped her break out was the darkest comedy I’ve ever seen.

Mistress Net:
Well, we meet again. It’s been a while since I have had to do what I had to, mainly to break you and set you back on your true course!

TLOTA:
MY true course?! My true course was with Alex; we had everything together in my life. Not having my personal and professional lives destroyed, my reputation obliterated, and seeing my future eviscerated!

Mistress Net:
Oh, Please. Did you really think that you still held onto that silly future with you happy and having a normal life? You are an anomaly, as are your friends and associates.

TLOTA:
Those Assholes in Chicago aren’t my associates; the truth is out about them, they’re assholes and…

Mistress Net:
And You are not?

TLOTA:
Okay, you make a point! I can be an asshole, but at least I am honest about it!

Mistress Net:
True; however, now, there’s something big on the way, and you need to be free of certain things, even at a great personal loss.

I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans, and the views I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Well, my worries and concerns were confirmed! (Cut to the clips of the Disney “Star Wars” movies and series as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
As I watched the Disney “Star Wars” Skywalker movies, I saw the inevitable that they’d do what they had done with so many other franchises, they milked the film series for what they could get out of it and have been keeping it on life support on Disney+. But that’s not to say that their efforts have been inadequate. I enjoyed “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” I checked out “Solo: A Star Wars Story” and thought it was alright, given all the circumstances.”The Mandalorian” is enjoyable, and The “Obi-Wan Kenobi” miniseries was entertaining, especially for the kid who played young Leia Organa. But as I watched them stumble through Episodes 7, 8, and 9, it felt like they were in Lather, Rinse, and Repeat the Original Trilogy. I hoped for something better in Disney’s cinematic outings with these characters and this universe. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Then I realized that someone did something to expand the universe and help the original trilogy, and it happened twenty-five years ago! (Cut to clips of the Star Wars Prequels as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Yes, for all of the fandom’s complaints, the Disney trilogy reminded me why the prequels, while not perfect, were better than Disney’s Trilogy. And for those wondering, no, it’s not for the reasons you think. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
It’s partly because, at this stage in my career, I’ve got nothing left to lose, and I figured that after watching the prequels and Disney Trilogy back-to-back, I would have a better idea. So may the force be with me as I count down my top ten reasons why The Star Wars Prequels are better than the Disney Star Wars Movies.
