I haven’t posted Alison Brie in a million years and that just kind of happens sometimes. I really like Alison Brie but I liked Community and Mad Men even more. So I watched them every time they were on and loved the shows and that’s where I saw her most often. Those shows are long, long gone at this point, which is why it has been a shocking 14 months since I last posted her. The time just slips away I guess. But now we’re getting a press barrage for GLOW, which she is the star of. And I hope it’s good, I think it could be really interesting but I suppose we’ll see. I guess tone will matter because I remember GLOW being a thing in the 80’s and wrestling in general was a bit of a joke then, kids stuff that my friends and I watched on Saturday Mornings but GLOW was especially seen as a punchline by the culture at large. You know, cause Women. So I think I watched some of it at some point. I know I definitely saw some of the member of the Glamorous Ladies of Wrestling on an episode of the Family Feud. Either way, you could chart the lack of prestige there by the fact that in my area at least it showed up on one of those unaffiliated UHF stations that no one really knew why it existed and again, only kids watched it cause it showed syndicated cartoons in the afternoon. So I think there is a lot of story potential there and in general things about wrestling fit in very well with a type of underdog sports story. Not the underdog makes good times but the societal underdog, people who are just seen as disreputable by their very existence and will probably never earn respect or acclaim and have to deal with that reality. Or you know, maybe it will be about Glowworms, also a very 80’s thing and a toy I never had because who wants a stuffed animal made mostly out of hard plastic? Well, everyone I guess but I still never had one. Today I want to fuck Alison Brie.
