Show Notes: Episode 54: Death in Winter & Episode 55: A Grouch for All Seasons
Tonight! Baby Yoda says buckle up, Picard's got more adventures coming and we say goodbye to three of the greats on this edition of Multiverse Tonight!
So, we're halfway through December, are you ready to finish the year,. I think we're all ready to get done with this year and get into 2020. This is the time of year it seems that things slow down. I'm always amazed that there's enough to really report on. But a few things always come up.
So before we get going with the show, can you do something for me? Share the show with others, if you really like the show throw me a bone and donate. Let's get on with the news.
Baby Yoda wants you to know he still needs a carseat in the state of Mississippi. Or at least a Star Wars The Mandalorian fan wants you to think that. The official twitter account for the Mississippi Department of Transportation posted a photoshopped highway sign that read quote Baby Yoda Uses the Force but still needs a carseat. Unquote They also captioned it with quote Buckle up. This is the way. #BabyYoda.
You know, Baby Yoda, Porgs, Ewoks. All cute, all more popular than almost anything else in the Star Wars Universe. Maybe they should just make a show starring Baby Yoda playing with Porgs and Ewoks.
Speaking of the small green Muppet, Mandalorian Director Bryce Dallas Howard has broken her silence on how it was to keep the character a secret. Telling the Hollywood reporter quote "Agonizing," Howard replied with a laugh. "I've been walking around for the last year with a face like the cat that ate the canary. I'm so, so, so excited to be a part of this and the phenomenon that Baby has become. The thing I was most nervous about was that my kids had been on set quite a bit. So they had seen Baby and interacted with Baby. When we were filming, my kids were 6 and 11; they're now 7 and 12. When the kids went back to school, every single day I would say, 'So, what are you not gonna talk about today?' And they would say, 'Baby!' (Laughs) I'd be like, 'That's right!' I would just consistently remind them that there's no circumstance that could ever arise where they're allowed to talk about Baby. Now, for them, it's very confusing, because I'm like, 'Oh, now, you can talk about Baby,' and they're like, 'Oh, okay.' We've been having this routine for about a year now, and it's fun; it's really, really fun. Everyone is super pissed that there's no merch. (Laughs) Everyone is like, 'I want a Baby Yoda stuffed toy!' But I think they made a good choice in not focusing there and just focusing on the storytelling." unquote . And I'm still SO behind in watching it. Only watched episode one. Too much to watch so little time.
The press tour for the final Skywalker movie is in full swing and JJ Abrams in an interview with Cinema Blend talked about Carrie Fisher's role in the movie, despite her passing nearly three years ago. This involved using unused footage from The Force Awakens. JJ told them quote "Clearly we would have done other things had Carrie been around, but I will say despite her not being with us anymore, her presence in the movie is not inconsequential," "She's not being 'added in' so that she's in the movie. And I would say that her story, her role, the importance of Leia, I would argue is as profound as what you're saying even though she wasn't here.""There was no way, as I've said before, to tell the story without Leia. She's too important. It's Skywalker saga. She is the living Skywalker in our story. You don't want to start the story and say something happened to her in between movies. It didn't feel right. We'd never recast it. A digital Leia wouldn't work. There was no way to do it." "When we looked at the footage from [Star Wars:] The Force Awakens, which I was obviously very familiar with, and realized we had a number of scenes we could use, and, and write scenes around, it was suddenly like, 'Oh my God, we could tell the story with Leia in the film." unquote
The rise of Skywalker comes out in just a few days from now.
Disney is warning fans that the new Star Wars movie could trigger seizures with those people with epilepsy. Disney issued a statement with the Epilepsy Foundation that the film contains quote "several sequences with imagery and sustained flashing lights" that could affect those with photosensitive epilepsy. My guess would be flashes from lightsabers hitting together. Disney suggests that theaters post notices to warn of the risk. Flashing lights can trigger seizures in about three percent of individuals who have epilepsy. This isn't the first time Disney has given this notice, they also did it for The Incredibles II.
The merger of Viacom and CBS is now official and the newly reunited company is busy merging, selling unneeded headquarters, eliminating duplicate positions and forth.
This also means that the Star Trek movie and tv rights are now back under one roof. What will that mean for the franchise? New movies featuring the tv characters from the new shows?
So with that behind us, let's check in with the Section 31 show. The new show is set to start filming once Discovery's season three is done. CBS All Access executive vice president Julie McNamara talking to Vanity Fair said that the writers room under Alex Krutzman has been assembled quote "We are very excited about the Section 31 show and Michelle Yeoh is excited to do it,". "She is in the current season of Discovery so she's working on that right now but we have scripts getting written, and Alex has a writer's room. We love what we've heard so far. It's yet another tonality of Trek. As Alex has mapped it all out, each show has its own unique sort of voice and vision."
Mr. Kurtzman has dropped some hints of the tone of the show comparing it to a Clint Eastwood style Western.. Saying quote It occupies an area of the Trek universe that's never really been explored geographically. It has a new mythology to it, which is very interesting. And it puts Michelle's character to the test in a lot of ways that Discovery can't. In some ways it will be her Unforgiven, I would say." Unquote
And yesterday we got the news the Star Trek Picard will not be just a one shot series. The show has been renewed for season two. However Michael Chabon will not be a part of season two as he's been named showrunner for the adaptation of the Cavalier and Klay novels over at showtime. No word on when the second season will be, but It'll probably be in late 2020 or sometime in 2021.
William Shatner is going someplace he knows very well, Divorce Court. The soon to be Four Time Divorcee has filed for divorce from his wife Elizabeth, his wife of the past eighteen years. This will be a smooth divorce as Mister Shatner is a fan of prenuptial agreements. Bill first got married back in 1956, that lasted to 1969. His next one was from 1973 to 1994. His next marriage in 1997 didn't last long ending with the death of Nerine Kidd in 1999. Odds are that this latest marriage will be his last. William Shatner is 88 years old.
Good news or bad news depending on what side of the coin your on. Quientin tarantino speaking with the consequence of sound dot net was asked if Star Trek was going to be part of hsi planned ten films. He replied quote I think I'm steering away from Star Trek, but I haven't had an official conversation with those guys yet. In a strange way, it seems like this movie, Hollywood, would be my last. So, I've kind of taken the pressure off myself to make that last big voilà kind of statement. I mean to such a degree there was a moment when I was writing and went, "Should I do this now? Should I do something else? Is this the 10th one?" No, no don't stop the planets from aligning, what are you, Galactus? If the Earth is saying do it, do it. Not that it was an argument, but a little thought, like, "Well, if I'm gonna go out like Max Ophüls style, Lola Montez, this is it, and if It's not good, then all my other work is trash, alright." This would have been the one. But in a weird way, it actually kind of freed me up. I mean, I have no idea what the story of the next one's going to be. I don't even have a clue. Unquote
And now for some sad news Michael Lamper, husband of Next Generation actress Marina Sirtis has passed away. Marina broke the news on twitter saying quoteI'm going to be gone for a while. My beloved husband passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. For those of you waiting for a shoutout on Cameo, please forgive me I don't feel up to i. I'll let you know when the service is back on. Unquote Michael was a rock guitarist and musician who once portrayed an Acamarian Gatherer in the TNG third season episode The Vengeance Factor. He and Marina married on June twenty first 1992 with Brent Spiner and Michael Dorn acting as groomsman in a traditional greek ceremony. His rock carrer saw him play with such musicians as Tommy Shaw from Styx, The Allman Brothers, Quiet Riot and Los Lobos. He was 61. My heart goes out to Marina.
The Matrix Four has cast Jonathan Groff in an unknown role. Groff is most recently known for his role voicing Kristoff in Frozen 2. Johnathan joins returning cast members Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith, as well as newcomers Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris and Jessica Henwick.
Variety has learned that Will Poulter will not be in the Lord of the Rings series on Amazon. Variety has learned through their sources that scheduling conflicts will present him from being a part of it. As to what role he would have played is still unknown.
Power Rangers is getting another big screen reboot, this time it will be at Paramount and will take it back to the 90's. The Hollywood reporter reports that Paramount is currently in early negotiations with Johnathan Entwistle and would involve quote "a time-travel element that brings the kids to the 1990s, and in Back to the Future fashion, they have to find a way to get back to their present. Unquote
To say that Disney had a very good year at the box office would be an understatement, The House of Mouse broke their own box office record of 7.6 billion set back in 2016 crossing the ten billion dollar ceiling. It should be noted that this doesn't include it's newly acquired Fox movies. If those are factored in the number would be nearly 12 billion. Disney currently also holds six of the ten biggest movies of the year.
The Golden Globe nominations are out. Netflix walked away with thirty four nominations. Seventeen for motion pictures and 17 for television. HBO came in second with fifteen. The movie Marriage Story had the most for a film. While Chernobyl, the Crown and Unbelievable had the most for television. Geeky films getting nominations included Joker with four including Best Motion Picture, Best Director , Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and best score. Also getting nominations were Frozen 2, How to train your dragon the hidden world and toy story 4. Only one Geeky tv nomination Game of Thrones with one best actor nomination for Kit Harington.
Death seemed to be busy. A few minutes ago I talked about the death of Deanna Sirtis's husband. Well, there are three more.
First off, we say goodbye to actor Robert Walker Jr. The actor passed away in Malibu on December sixth. He will be best known to people as Charlie Evans the boy raised by the Thasians who gave him omnipotent power in the episode Charlie X. He also appeared in episodes of The Time Tunnel, Bonanza, the Six Million Dollar Man and Chips. He also had a role in the movie Easy rider. In a statement his wife said about roebert quote "Bob always beat to his own drum and stayed true to himself in all of his endeavors," his wife said in a statement. "Although an accomplished actor, his true art was living fully. He was a photographer, drummer, raconteur and gallery owner. His love of the ocean kept him in Malibu, and he had great tales of his adventures paddling to Catalina from there. Bob [also] had a constant interest in developing his internal martial arts practice." He is survived by his wife, seven children and five grandchildren. He was 79.
Next is Star Trek writer Dorthy Catherine Fontana better known as DC Fontana. DC began as a secretary for tv writer Samuel A Peeples, while working for him, she became a professional writer writing stories for The Tall Man and Frontier Circus. Later she began working for Gene Roddenberry's series The Lieutenant as a secretary for producer Del Reisman. Eventually she wanted to work for Gene directly and after finding out that she wanted to become a writer, Roddenberry encouraged her. In 1964, she would publish her first novel, a western called Brazos River co written with Harry Sanford.
When Roddenberry began working on Star Trek and with the encouragement of associate producer Robert Justmn, she began working on the show Where she wrote the teleplay for Charlie X She worked on ten episodes overall including tomorrow is Yesterday, This Side of Paradise, which got her a promotion to story editor, Journey to Babel, friday's child, the ultimate computer, The city on the edge of forever, The Enterprise Incident, That which survives and The Way to eden. After Star Trek, she worked with Gene again on the Questor tapes ,Genesis II and Star Trek The Animated Series.
After that she worked on scripts for other shows including The Six Million Dollar Man, Logan's Run, Buck Rogers and The Waltons.
When the Star trek the Next Generation began, she went to Gene immediately where he pitched an idea to her that became the pilot episode Encounter at Farpoint. She would become an associate producer on the series but left during the first season due to reported difficulties with writer Robert Lewin caused a bit of a falling out between her and Gene Roddenberry and she left. . She would later return to star Trek writing the Deep Space Nine episode Dax.
She also wrote the Star Trek bok Vulcan's Glory and an episode of the fan made series Star Trek New Voyages.
DC Fontana is survived by her husband Dennis Skotak, who told the New York Times that the cause of her death was cancer. She was eighty years old.
Finally we say farewell to Rene Auberjonois, the actor known to Star Trek fans for his portrayal of
Constable Odo on Star trek Deep Space Nine as well as directing eight episodes of the show. Rene was born in New York in 1940. After college he began his acting career in earnest working with theater companies in Washington DC, San Francisco , LA and New York. In 1968, he landed a role on Broadway appearing in three films simultaneously. A year later he would win a Tony Award for his role opposite Katharine Hepburn in Coco. He directed and acted in lots of productions over the years and was inducted into the American theater Hall of Fame in 2018.
His Film work is vast as well. He played Father Mulcahy in the film version of MASH, played a gangster in Police Academy 5, Dr. Burton in Batman Forever and appeared as Colonel West in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country. His final film role in a movie called Cortex has yet to be released.
But his most known work was in Television. He worked in that medium since 1966. Appearing in episodes of the Mod Squad, Night Gallery, The Jeffersons, Wonder Woman, LA Law, The Outer Limits, Chicago Hope, Stargate SG1, Frasier, Nash Bridges, Warehouse 13, the Good Wife and Many more.

Rene Auberjonois was 79 years old.
Tonight! Synder cut…subway sandwiches, Birds of Prey is not a sequel and we say Farewell to the man in the Big Bird on this comic edition of Multiverse Tonight.
So…here we are, just a week away from Christmas, little over a week until the end of the year. What do you want for Christmas? What do you want from next year?
Here's what I want. I want to do a good job for you with this podcast. All I ask of you is to share the show with your friends, donate a buck or two if you feel generous. Just go to the site for more.
Are you starting to get tired of all the calls to release the Snyder cut of Justice League? It's kinda one of those things that just won't die. Well Subway restaurants have put in their two cents via twitter. Snyder fans started it by asking the company how many retweets it would take to get a donation of 10,000 sandwiches by Subway. Subway responded by saying that 5000 retweets in five hours would get it done. The fans came through Subway soon tweeted quote So you're fast… and since you did it in under 214 minutes we are going to up the donation to 15,000 subs! And oh yeah, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut unquote Good on them and good on the fans. My guess is that the cut will eventually see the light of day. Maybe if they all pledge to make some movie of Warner Bros a success that normally wouldn't they'd get the studios attention?
The cinematographer for Black Adam, Lawrence Sher is making some high claims for what the movie will be. Telling Collier during a Q&A for Joker quote "One of my interests about it is to continue to sort of — and we've talked about it with Dwayne and obviously with Jaume and DC — can we continue to sort of reshape what a comic book movie is?" "Like yes, of course you want it to be entertaining and it has to make a decent amount of money so it can't live in such a fringe place that it doesn't bring people in, but can we do something inventive? So that's the goal is to continue to try to do something a bit inventive with it." That's a big bold claim for a movie that we haven't seen anything from yet. Hopefully he won't end up eating those words.
So what do you think of Jokers potential for an Oscar Nomination? Well if the critics choice award nominations are any indication. There's a chance. Joker has received seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix, Best Adapted Screenplay for Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, Best Cinematography for Lawrence Sher, Best Production Design for Mark Friedberg and Kris Moran, Best Hair and Makeup, and Best Score for Hildur Guanadottir. They weren't the only comics property to get some nominations: Avengers Endgame and Spiderman Far From Home got nominations for Best Action Movie. Avengers Endgame also got a nod for Best SciFi or Horror Movie as well as best visual effects. HBO's Watchmen got a nomination for Best Drama, it faces off against Game of Thrones in that category but I think Watchmen's got this. Watchmen's Regina King got is up for Best Actress in a Drama , Tim Blake Nelson is up for Best Supporting Actor, Jean Smart Watchmen and Gwendoline Christies is up for Best Supporting Actress. The twenty fifth Critics Choice Awards will be handed out on Sunday January twelfth.
Well here's something to make you go huh? The upcoming Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn will have no ties to Suicide Squad according to BoP director Sue Kroll during a set visit by Screen Rant. She told them quote "You'll see it in the movie, it's a standalone movie, it's not connected to Suicide Squad. It's not a sequel, it's not a continuation of that story. So it has nothing to do with her break out of prison. But you're right, and we've been very upfront that this is about her emancipation. She and the Joker have broken up. This is her personal journey of discovery with these women. So it's not related at all, so don't try to apply linear logic to how the two go, because they don't." unquote She also told them that it has no similarities to Suicide Squad and that it was an oportunity to celebrate the amazing character.
So let's just unwind this this movie is…I'm assuming in the same universe as Suicide Squad, but it will in no way connect to Suicide Squad…not even a mention. They do realize that having Harley Quinn, the same character played by the same actress still connects it to Suicide Squad, don't they? Maybe I should just stop and lie down for awhile, this is making my head hurt. Birds of Prey comes out on February seventh.
Let's talk tv for a moment. The big Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover has had many cameos, Burt Ward's Dick Grayson, Lucifer. Apparently Arrowverse producer Marc Guggenheim put out feelers to another star Nicolas Cage. In an interview with Indiewire Mr. Guggenheim said quote"We did reach out to Nic Cage," Guggenheim revealed during an interview with Indiewire. "We reached out to a lot of people, and there were people who didn't want to do it. There were people who would only do it for amounts of money that we could not ever afford. And there were other people who really wanted to do it, but couldn't for scheduling. That was the case with a lot of, I have to say, the movie stars that we reached out to. The thing about movie stars is, they're all shooting movies. And unless those movies are shooting in Vancouver, we're kind of out of luck. But I have to say that the sheer number of actors that we did end up getting exceeded my expectation." unquote. Too bad, he could have finally gotten to wear that Superman suit on screen.
The Crisis will conclude on January fourteenth. Maybe next year they should do Zero Hour.
Kevin Feige Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer of Marvel confirmed at Brazil's CCXP19 con that Disney Plus' Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be all about what happens to the falcon after endgame. Quote "We saw Old Man Cap hand that shield to Sam Wilson at the end of [Endgame], and the question is, what did he do with it next? What does it mean for Sam Wilson and that shield?" Feige said at Brazil's CCXP19. "That's a big responsibility, and that's very much what the show focuses on and is about." unquote Unfortunatly Wilson will have to deal with the US government's U.S. Agent just in time for Helmut Zemo to come back on the scene. Sounds interesting, we still have no release date though other than the always enigmatic Fall 2020.
Speaking of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier they've added two new cast members Desmond Chiam and Miki Ishikawa have been added in two unknown roles.
Also at CCXP19, in a sit down interview, Mr. Feige confirmed that the Marvel Multiverse will be something that will shape the MCU for a long time to come."When we first started the MCU, it was all about Tony Stark. Introduce the world to Tony Stark and that Iron Man armor," "Then [we] went on to teach people what Asgardians were and learn about super soldiers then bring them together in Avengers. I've always loved space movies and I've always loved big intergalactic tales, which is why we did Guardians and the audience came with us so we could do a movie like Endgame. I always wanted to do time travel, which we finally got to do in Endgame. The multiverse is the next step in the evolution of the MCU and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is going to crack it open in ways that will have repercussions for a Disney+ series before it that's not WandaVision and for movies after it in a big fun way." unquote it's also thought that the Loki series will tie into this in some way, Well we will have even longer to wait than Falcon and the winter soldier. WandaVision comes out in Spring of 21 and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness comes out May 7th of 21.
Speaking of WandaVision, some paparazzi photos from the set of the show have surfaced online and they show that the space faring version of SHIELD will be in the show. SWORD. SWORD aka the Sentient World Observation and Response Department was one of the properties that used to belong to the 20th Century Fox subset of Marvel characters.
Could Venom 2 get an R rating. And you might be able to thank Joker's Billion dollar box office for that. Venom Producer Matt tolmach told Cinema blend quote I mean, I think you always have to think about [it], now that that works. Having said that, our movie worked really well. Our franchise exists as it is, and I don't think anybody is looking to just say, 'Hey, they [did it]!' We have a place in the world. So it isn't like suddenly everybody's considering what to do with the rating. … I think what Joker does is it tells you that you can succeed. For a very long time, that was the narrative. And Deadpool sort of wrestled that to the turf, and then Logan, but for a long time, that was considered totally forbidden. … So you know, I think it's the greatest thing in the world that R-rated movies are being embraced by massive audiences. And it just means that there are more opportunities for that kind of storytelling.
Prepare to relieve the greatest moments in Marvel's eighty year history. Marvel Snapshots will see Kurt Busiek bring together several creative teams for these eight standalone double sized issues which will include characters from the Golden Age to today through the eyes of ordinary people. Alex Ross will provide the covers.
First off is Sub Mariner: Marvels Snapshot number one. Best Selling Novelist and emmy Award winning writer Alan Brennert and artist Jerry Ordway join forces to tell an unforgettable story about Prince Namor set during WORLD WAR II featuring Namor, Betty Dean and the All Winners Squad. Alan Brennert in a statement on Marvel dot com said quote "I can honestly say that I enjoyed working on this story more than any comics story I've done in years. I grew up reading (and loving) Marvel's Golden Age heroes in the 1960s, in reprints in FANTASY MASTERPIECES. But I never thought I'd have a shot at writing them—especially the All-Winners Squad!—and I'm grateful to Kurt Busiek and Tom Brevoort for providing me the opportunity, and to Jerry Ordway for bringing it all to glorious life,". "I'm enormously proud of 'Reunion' and honored to be the first story published in MARVEL'S SNAPSHOTS." unquote
This year's long journey begins this March at your local comic book store.
Marvel has postponed the release of issue five, six and seven of X-Men by a month. Issue five will now be out on January 29th, issue six will come on February twelfth and seven will come on the twenty sixth of February.
We start the Geek news with a record setting opening…and not a good one. Playmobil: The Movie just set the record for the Lowest Box Office for a film opening in over 2000 theatres. The movie based on the toys was sort of an answer to the Lego movie. Unfortunately, Playmobil is not as well known as Lego. Rotten Tomatoes has given the movie a sixteen percent. We will check what it did this weekend and how won the pre Star Wars box office in just a moment.
From one record to another potential record setter. Disney's Frozen 2 just became the sixth film from the House of Mouse to cross the one billion dollar mark this year. According to Variety, the movie has over six million internationally and three hundred six million in the US. It's currently the eighth highest grossing movie of the year. We will see if The Rise of Skywalker makes it seven, it would have just 11 days to do so.
Dark Horse Comics is set to adapt Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology into a mini-series. The book was released back in 2017 and features Neil retelling norse mythology starring Thor, Odin, Loki and others. It has been adapted into a BBC radio production.

Craig Russell with colors fromDave Stewart and Lovern Kindzierski, letters by Galen Showman and art from a round table of artists like Jerry Ordway and Mike Mignola. Norse Mythology will hit comic book stores on May 27th, 2020.
Dynamite Entertainment is getting into the novel business. The company has announced the formation of Dynamite Books. First up is Vampirella: Blood Invasion written by Nancy A Collins. Here's the blurb quote "In Vampirella: Blood Invasion, Vampirella left her planet of Drakulon on a desperate quest to find another source of blood that her people need to survive. After years out of contact, the skies of Earth fill with an armada of ships from her home planet. Thrilled at first to see her people, Vampirella is horrified to learn of General Orlok's plan for her adopted planet. She must choose between her own kind or to take up arms with her partner Pantha and join a rebel army led by Count Dracula, Evily the Witch and Doctor Frankenstein and his patchwork monstrosities." unquote
It's out now along with a line of audiobook adaptations of existing novels including Shaft The Original Novel by Ernest Tidyman. Dynamite Books plans to release one new novel a month.
Finally tonight we say goodbye to someone who was a big part of all of our childhoods, Caroll Spinney. You might not know that name but you'll know the characters he played on Sesame Street, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.
Caroll was born in Waltham Massachusetts on December twenty sixth 1933 and became interested in puppetry at a young age. After high school, he served in the Air Force where he created a comic strip called Harvey. After he left the service he moved to Las Vegas where he performed in the show Rascal Rabbit and a few years later he moved to Boston where he would eventually perform on Boston's broadcast of Bozo's Big Top.
IN 1960, he got married to his first wife Janice and had three children, they would divorce in 1971
In 1962, Caroll first met Jim Henson at a puppeteering festival, where Jim asked him if he wanted to talk about the Muppets, unfortunately due to a misunderstanding, Caroll didn't know that he was being offered a job, He met Henson again in 1969 at a Puppeteer festival in Utah, where he was offered to talk about the muppets again. This time Caroll took him up on the offer and he joined the Muppeteers full time later that year, joining the cast of a new show called Sesame Street.
In 1979, Caroll would get married again this time to Debra jean Gilroy whom he would remain married to the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, Caroll would eventually develop dystonia and in October of last year, Spinney announced his retirement from Sesame Street, handing the role of Big bird to matt Vogel and Oscar to Eric Jacobson.
In his long career, Caroll would win four Daytime Emmys, two Grammys, a gold record, a star of the Hollywood Walk of fame, the Library of Congress Living Legend Award and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Lifetime Achievement Award.
Caroll passed away on December eighth at this home in Connecticut. He was eighty five years old.

Show Notes: Episode 50:Deal with Star Wars Diversity and Episode 51: Warner Bros. goes Blue
Tonight! A Discovery star gets engaged, Rian Johnson has words for diversity haters, and Disney Plus is doing just fine on this fiftieth edition of Multiverse Tonight!
Episode fifty, pretty snazzy. I thank all of you watching and listening.
So, have you started watching Disney Plus? What was the first thing you started watching? Probably the Mandalorian. Not me. I watched The Black Hole. Pretty decent sci fi movie for the era. It does what a lot of those movies did in the seventies. Starts with an overture over a black screen before starting the scene like 2001 A Space Odyssey and Star Trek The Motion Picture. It has sort of a draw your own conclusion type of ending. Wonder why Disney hasn't considered rebooting it?
Anyway, I think Disney Plus is pretty decent for the price, but I do think they need to add a last watched feature to the starting page. Some of us don't sit down and watch things from beginning to end. I tend to treat things i stream like books, I pick it up, watch it for a while, then put it down.
The original Star Trek Animated Series will be leaving Netflix in December. According to the info page for the show on Netflix it's quote available until 12/01/2019. This will be the first Star Trek show to no longer be available on Netflix. Most likely CBS will be bringing it to CBS All Access and the show is also available on Amazon Prime. Star Trek The Animated Series ran for 22 episodes and for many fans acts as Season Four of the original series. It was also the first Trek series to win an emmy, as it received the Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Children's Series in 1975.
While we're on the subject of Trek animated series, it's been awhile since we've heard anything about the new one. Star Trek Lower Decks is due out next year and comic book dot com talked with voice actor Jack Quaid, who will play Ensign Brad Boimler on the show. Quote "We're in the middle of recording that now. To get to be a part of that world, in any way, is so cool. That show is just, it's very different from Harvey Girls. It's way more adult, but it's so hilarious and surprisingly sweet and very Trek. Fans of Star Trek will get little inferences and things that we sprinkled throughout the show, but also, I think it's very accessible for people who don't know a ton of lore as well. It's just like a fun show in space." unquote. Harvey Girls Forever was the actors first voice acting role.
Lower Decks is expected to arrive sometime in 2020.
Congratulations are in order to Star Trek Discovery star Anthony Rapp who tweeted the happy news that he is now engaged to fellow actor Kenneth Mitchell, who has portrayed several Klingon characters on the series. Rapp tweeted quote "So something happened tonight," "I asked Ken if he would marry me and he said yes. I am so very happy and I'm so very thrilled to share this news." Rapp plays the first openly gay series regular in a Star Trek show.
Congratulations to the happy couple, Discovery returns in 2020 and season two is now out on Bluray and DVD.
Discovery actor and comedian Tig Notaro recently spoke with Space dot com. About being in sci fi roles in Discovery and the sci fi movie Lucy in the Sky, she said that she didn't seek out these sci fi roles but felt quote "…open to that world. "It's very different," "I like it, I like being a recurring role on "Star Trek" … I'm not looking to become a full cast member but I enjoy the world, and I enjoy the cast and crew, and I think what I have going on is kind of perfect." unquote She was a fan of the original series as a child saying quote "I did follow 'Star Trek' when I was a child, the original series … obviously I'm more familiar with Discovery now, but I love being a part of it, if just simply for the ability to tell people I am on 'Star Trek,' it's really fun to be able to say that." unquote
She also told space dot com that she might enjoy playing characters that work in space, she's not sure that she would want to go to space herself. Saying quote "I think it's really exciting and terrifying," "If I could be in space, I would like to just be teleported; I don't know that I would want that actually takeoff and journey to outer space."
"I was just talking to my wife about that; she has absolutely no interest in being in outer space. I don't think were gonna run into 'should we go, should we not go?'" "I would bring my sons. I really think they would be interested."
"It's fun, I'm proud to be a part of it," "My sons, they think I actually work in space because whenever I go off to Toronto to film 'Star Trek,' I always tell them I have to go work on the space rocket "
Would you like a small statue of Captain Spock in your home? Sideshow and Darkside Collectibles Studio are set to release a one to three scale museum statue of Captain Spock as seen in Star Trek II The Wrath of Kahn. The statue is the spitting image of Lenord Nimoy as his iconic character circa 1982.. It's 25 inches tall in the iconic monster maroon Starfleet uniform. The statue is made in polystone resin with life like skin details and is limited and individually numbered. Orders are being taken now and it will whip in the fourth quarter of 2020. But be prepared to open your wallet wide, it'll cost you $1299 or $146.13 a month on a payment plan.
Some people took issues with Star Wars The Last Jedi and the amount of diversity in the casting. Because how dare a galaxy far far away has more than one woman and more than one person of color in any kind of prominent role. If this is you, than Rian Johnson has some strong words for you. While speaking at a live event for WIRED while promoting his new movie Knives Out with Chris Evans, he said quote "If someone's responding to diversity negatively, f— 'em," Chris Evans responded to that quote "If anyone didn't like the movie, I'm not saying that's why they didn't like it… It wasn't surprising at all to me, I grew up as a Star Wars fan. And I grew up- I was in my twenties when the prequels came out and this whole idea that it's all been sunshine and roses and suddenly everybody's yelling at each other is baffling to me." Rian than added quote "And I feel like people care deeply about Star Wars, and every single person has a slightly different version of what they think Star Wars is. And so much of the fun of it is arguing about it. Since we were kids, right? On the playground, you're yelling at your friends about who would win in a fight… It's part and parcel about the passion of being a Star Wars fan." Unquote Maybe we should take a page from Frozen and Let it Go?
With the Rise of Skywalker on the way, there's sure to be more trolls bashing Naomi Ackie, who's in the movie as a character named Jannah. She however did get some advice about it from someone who got bashed alot Kelly Marie tran. Kelly gave the new Star Wars actor some advice. Naomi shared that advice with Metro quote "I think watching the experience of Kelly Marie Tran and talking to her, I got a lot of inspiration from her about how to grow a thicker skin when it comes to people's opinions of not just your work, [also] who you are," "There's a difference. That's a challenge but I'm fired up. I feel good about it ultimately." unquote
The ramp up for The Rise of Skywalker is in high gear. Daisy Ridley talking with Adoro Cinema about a scene that left her and the crew visibly moved. Quote "There was a scene that touched me a lot," Ridley told Adoro Cinema. "It was our last day shooting in Jordan and the natural light was fading. And it was so exciting. It was just a short scene, we filmed very fast, but the crew was shaken in a way I had not seen before. And I thought, 'My God, if this is people's immediate reaction when the scene isn't even ready, imagine what it will be like to see it in the movies, with the John Williams soundtrack and all that.'" unquote As to what that scene was I guess we'll have to wait however, you remember the scene from the trailer with her in dark robes and a double bladed red lightsaber, Daisy did discuss that scene saying quote "That scene was filmed in England in November," "There were huge water cannons and it was really, really cold. Everybody literally soaked. It was hard, but it was also amazing because the scene caught the immediacy of the reaction." unquote
Carrie Fisher's death was heartbreaking. But what might be even more heartbreaking was the plan for Leia that was supposed to occur in the Rise of Skywalker. According to Carrie's brother Todd Fisher, she was to go full Jedi. Todd, speaking with Yahoo Entertainment said quote "She was going to be the big payoff in this final film,""That's what the intent was. She was going to be the last Jedi, so to speak… People used to say to me, 'Why is it that Carrie never gets a lightsaber and chops up some bad guys?'" unquote A final storyline for Leia was created for the final movie in the Skywalker saga using deleted scenes from The Force Awakens. The Rise of Skywalker comes out in a month.
Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi Writer Hossein Amini thinks that making a series instead of a movie was the right idea. Amini talked with Discussing Film about the upcoming series. Quote "I think because of what we were speaking about before, the situation is so complex both for him personally and in a way, the state of the galaxy, you sort of need time to explore it and to be honest there are loads of other stories within that period as well, it's quite a few years," "There is so much going on between [Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope] that hasn't been explored. The idea of being able to go into a character journey plus the politics and plus all the vastness of the empire and what's going on is exciting just because it feels like a proper period of history and sometimes that is hard to do in two hours. Sometimes with two-hour movies there is always an imperative for the action and the plot to move particularly fast and quickly and to go from action sequence to action sequence and there are many more aspects to storytelling that I find interesting." unquote
No word yet on when the series will come to Disney Plus.
Disney CEO Bob Iger on the latest investor earnings call says that a lot of guests are holding off on visiting the Disneyland and Disney World until the Galaxy's Edge is fully opened. There is one more e-ticket attraction coming to the Star Wars themed attraction, Star Wars Rise of the Resistance. It will open up in December at Disney World and on January seventeenth at DisneyLand. However even with the lower attendance at the parks it's still been a good year at the Disney Parks. They've seen an eight percent increase in revenue.
Speaking of Mr. Iger, on that same call he announced that the Star Wars films will be taking a little break with Iger saying that their current thinking is that Marvel and Star Wars are more than just movie franchises. Of course, it's not like they're gonna stop making content, there are 3 Star Wars series in production.
Can a third Fantastic Beasts movie be what's needed to keep the Harry Potter film franchise going? Warner Bros announced that the third in the Fantastic Beasts franchise will start filming this spring. The third one is expected to put more of a spotlight on Jude Law's Dumbledore with more action at Hogwarts. The movie will also take the story to Rio de Janeiro.

Even before the launch of Disney Plus, Disney was doing quite well for itself. In its fourth quarter earnings call the studio reported total revenue of 19.1 billion exceeding analysts estimates of 19.04 billion. Toy Story 4 and Aladdin did well for the studio and even losses on it's Fox inherited films like Ad Astra, the art of racing in the rain and Dark Phoenix were partially offset by income from tv and streaming. The stock closed up after the launch of Disney Plus. By the way, I must note that I hold a little piece of stock in Disney.

Can you believe we're already in the end of November? Just a short hop , skip and a jump to the end of the year. At least we have some new Rick and Morty to watch.
Disney Plus' She-Hulk has found a new writer in Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao. Jessica won an Emmy for writing the Pickle Rick episode. This is the first development for the show since it was announced at D23. This comes after the news that Jeremy Slater, who developed THe Umbrella Academy for Netflix will be overseeing the Moon Knight series. Could the hiring of Jessica Gao show that She-Hulk will have or of a humorous bent?
Marvel head Kevin Fiege in an interview with Bloomberg news told the outlet that the Disney Plus Loki series will directly tie into doctor Strange and the multiverse of madness. It;s not the only Disney Plus series to tie into the movie as WandaVision will as well. The six episode Loki series won't be out until 2021.
Marvel studios might be doing well today. But the recession almost killed it before it got started. In order for Marvel Studios to get off the ground, in 2005, MarveI needed a huge loan. It got 525 million from Merrill Lynch. It was good timing, in 2008, the great recession happened and that money would have dried up. Talking with The Hollywood reporter's Scott Feinberg , Kevni Fiege confirms the fact that Merrill Lynch wouldn't have been able to provide that funding saying quote "That's a good question I hadn't thought about. We wouldn't have gotten the loan afterwards, you're probably right," unquote . why? Simple. Merrill Lynch was a casualty of the recession after losing 51.8 billion in the subprime mortgage catastrophe. The company ended up being sold off to Bank of America.
Now here we are almost a decade and a half later and Marvel has billions of dollars.
Zachary Levi was almost Starlord.James Gunn, the maker of the Gaurdians of the Galaxy movies confirmed the fact during a q and a on instagram stories.

And he was amazing,""So when Peter Safran, the producer of Shazam, came to me asking about who would be good as the character I strongly suggested Zach. I've been told by Peter and the DC folks that's what got the ball rolling. But I think it was #zacharylevi's immense talent that did that."
Levi responded to the post on his Instagram saying quote"And brother, it means the absolute world," "Thanks for seeing that in me, and sharing that conviction with others. It helped literally change my life. I hope we get to work together at some point soon." unquote
In another universe, it was so. Anyone up for universe hoping?
The Tokyo burglar nicknamed The Ame-zing Spider Man may have been caught. According to the site FNN.jp, a Mr. Hiroki Horiguchi was arrested on November first for allegedly breaking into a rooftop office in the Tokyo neighborhood of Shinjuku. The 26 year old man allegedly than broke a window, got in and got out with 66,000 yen which is approximately six hundred five dollars american.
Because of the techniques and methods used, they thought that he has the serial burglar dubbed the Ame-szing Spiderman. The burglar had a thing for scaling buildings to get access to his targets. The reason he was called ame-zing is this. All the robberies took place at night that a rainstorm or typhoon took place. Ame is japanese for rain.. The Ame-zing Spider Man is suspected of at least a dozen burglaries.

California is still suffering from fires if you'll remember my interview with Orville Producer Tom Costantino, that interview had been delayed from the week before due to a fire that caused his family to be under a voluntary evacuation order. Now Deadline reports that the warner Bros lot had to be evacuated as a precautionary measure after a small brush fire broke out in the hollyWood Hills near the studio.
The Barham fire started near 3694 North Barham Blvd. Which is just about a half mile from the
Warners studio lot, around 152 in the afternoon of Saturday November 2nd. Luckily by 510 pm that day the Los angeles fire department reported that forward progress had been stopped. By that point the fire had burned 34 acres in the hills between Burbank and Universal City.
Speaking of Warner Bros, the studio has announced that it's updating its logo. The logo is a now elongated blue shield with the letters WB on it. It harkens back to how the logo looked in the 1930's. The new logo will begin appearing on the companies productions starting in early 2020. If you'd like to look at all the different variations on the wb logo I'll have a link to a site that has a detailed history of the different permutations of the iconic logo.http://annyas.com/screenshots/warner-bros-logo/
We got some Batman casting news. First off The Batman director Matt Reeves confirmed on twitter that Andy Serkis will play the role of Alfred Pennyworth. He joins Robbert Pattinson has Batman, Jeffery Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot, newcomer Jayme Lawson will be playing a new character named Bella who is a grassroots political candidate running for office …or is that a ruse and she's playing Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl and Paul Dano from There Will be Blood has been cast as Edward Nashton aka The Riddler
It looks like it's truly the end of the line for Batman's father figure slash butler. Alfred Pennyworth. DC has confirmed that he was indeed killed by Bane. His death will be explored in Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. a new one shot by James Tynion the fourth and Peter J Tomasi with art by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira. Here' s the description quote "Alfred Pennyworth served the Wayne family for decades—even through the terrible loss of the Dark Knight's parents. His shocking death at the hands of Bane is the only event that could possibly compare to that fateful night in Crime Alley, and it leaves Bruce at a similar crossroads. If Alfred was the glue that held the Bat-Family together, how will Batman deal with that all falling apart? And if the Caped Crusader is to be truly alone, he might either hang that cape up once and for all…or double down and carry on with this vengeful quest forever.
Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. celebrates the life of one of the most important people in the history of Gotham City, while also addressing questions about what's next." The issue comes out on February 12th, 2020.
So you're watching Disney Plus and your bring up the Simpsons and are dismayed that they're being presented not in their original aspect ratio of 4:3 but in the zoomed in 16:9 ratio. Well you're cries of anguish has been heard. Disney in a statement said quote "We presented "The Simpsons" in 16:9 aspect ratio at launch in order to guarantee visual quality and consistency across all 30 seasons. Over time, Disney+ will roll out new features and additional viewing options. As part of this, in early 2020, Disney+ will make the first 19 seasons (and some episodes from Season 20) of "The Simpsons" available in their original 4:3 aspect ratio, giving subscribers a choice of how they prefer to view the popular series." unquote During season 20 was when the show went to the 16:9 aspect ratio of today.
We talked a few minutes ago about how Warner Bros has looked to the past to update their logo. Now Deadline reports that Warners is bringing back Rin Tin Tin, the German Shepard that was credited with saving the studio in the 1920's.
Matt Lieberman, who wrote the upcoming animated movie Scoob and the animated Addams Family movie will be writing the new movie. The movie will be made with Andrew Lazar's Mad Chance productions along with rights holders Sasha Jenson and Jeff Miller. Apparently the plan is to make the dog the John Wick of dogs. A hero elite military dog on a covert mission to stop a large scale attack. So if John Wick saw the dog got killed, Does Rin Tin Tins humans get killed?
HOcus Pocus 2…is probably something we don't need. However since it's gonna get made let's check in on where it is. The Hollywood Reporter asked Sarah Jessica Parker about it. Asking if she knows anything, she said quote No, I don't know. There has never been a conversation ever in our lives. Someone just asked me on Instagram, and I said: "We all said we'd love to someday." But that's the extent of the conversation. I've been asked so much recently about this — it's a seasonal question… it's appropriate! Unquote The reporter than added an addendum to the answer in the article quote [When asked, "Any chance of a sequel?" last week on Instagram, Parker responded: "We have all said yes. Now we wait."] unquote

His opponent, a former Marine who was endorsed by the Tea Party, was able to raise hundreds of thousands from those angry with Frank's role with the bill, but ultimately proved unable to mount a serious challenge.

A Wall Street Journal video explores how vending machines that dispense raw milk have gained a following in the UK and other European countries, but critics question whether the machines keep the milk at cool enough temperatures.
In England, raw milk vending machines are allowed only on farms, which many producers say defeat the purpose of such machines – which is to make raw milk more accessible to those not living in rural areas. In Ireland, raw milk vending machines have been banned by the Food Standards Agency; in Scotland, the sale of raw milk is banned altogether.

Hi there. I am currently living abroad in Northern Italy and have found the raw milk vending machines. I actually have one about 5 minutes away. The milk is incredible. It's delicious and full of goodness. The vending machine actually only dispenses empty bottles, your choice of plastic or glass. Plastic is .20€ and glass is .50€. I purchased glass to save money and the environment. The bottles hold one litre and you just put the bottle under the dispenser, close the cage, select half litre or one litre, and it dispenses cold, fresh, raw milk. It's 1.00€ for one litre and .50€ for a half litre. I think this is an awesome innovation and the business has little expenses this way. I find the kefir works a lot faster in raw milk and I don't gas or bloating when drinking this raw milk. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to experience this!
I keep raw milk in a dedicated tiny refrigerator at just above 32º and it keeps for weeks. Not such good drinking though, for best taste let it warm up a bit. The milk I drink tastes best after a week, so fresh is not always best. Standard kitchen refrigerators really do not keep milk cold enough, unless you have kids and it gets drank within days.


When Rabbi Neal Borovitz first heard Harold Benus talk some 10 years ago about a project to unite Jewish organizations, thus making it easier and cheaper for Jews to join them, he was one of only a few who paid attention.
Now the Kehillah Partnership is moving ahead with a number of pilot projects, including a single-fee membership program between Borovitz's Temple Avodat Shalom in River Edge and the Bergen County YJCC in Washington Township, of which Benus is executive director. The idea, according to organizers, is to create a system where a single membership fee covers multiple Jewish institutions and programs.
A regular general family membership to the YJCC costs $1,160. An individual membership costs $1,105. Under the pilot program, members of Avodat Shalom can sign up for YJCC memberships for only $360. The program, which began in November, has so far attracted more than 70 of Avodat Shalom's approximately 500 member families. Fewer than 10 previously belonged to the YJCC, according to Benus.
On the surface, it may appear that the YJCC stands to lose thousands of dollars a year if more members sign up for the reduced rate. On the contrary, according to Benus; the program relies on a high volume of participants, which would offset losses from the discount.
"Yes, the Y has some … risks it is taking now, but the benefits are not just to come to the Y but to Jewish community overall," Benus said.
Steve Allen, executive director of the YM-YWHA of North Jersey in Wayne, said his Y is in discussion with Benus about the one-fee program and possibly duplicating it in Wayne.
The Kehillah Partnership is in the third year of a seven-year plan to explore a number of projects.
The Kehillah Partnership Cooperative, a utilities cost-sharing program, has saved participating Jewish organizations a half million dollars to date. The partnership recently set up a branch of the PJ Library, a national program that mails Jewish children's books to families to encourage family togetherness and Jewish literacy. Benus will participate in a national PJ Library conference in April and hold up northern New Jersey as a model of how the program can benefit a community.
Kehillah Partnership programs are reaching into schools, as well. Eight synagogue Hebrew schools brought together their seventh-graders last month at the YJCC for a program on tzedakah with the founder of jchoice.org, a social network that encourages young philanthropists. Meanwhile, teachers from 10 synagogue schools are working on another pilot project to introduce art programs into Israeli curricula.
"The end goal is to have a vibrant and exciting community where individuals and families will be able to participate in a wealth of programs and activities where there will hopefully be a one-fee concept so that Jewish life becomes more affordable," Benus said.
Borovitz credited the country's economic downturn for convincing Jewish organizations to consider sharing services and costs.
