A BLIND BARGAIN (2025): A heroin-addicted Vietnam vet tricks his mother into joining a medical trial run by a mad doctor (Crispin Glover) who wants her rare blood type for his youth program. A "remake" of a lost silent film by Lon Chaney, now set in 1970, the plotting is ragged (with the ending particularly rushed), but this low-budget effort skates by on originality and style. 3/5. (The original movie was lost in the same fire that destroyed "London After Midnight.")

Charles Laughton wasn't quite famous during Chaney's lifetime and was still in the UK but if he'd made it to Hollywood in the 20s they could've toured Vaudeville, doing Laurel & Hardy schtick in matching Quasimodo makeup.

Cold and rainy. It's just gone 3pm here and I haven't seen the sun all day. Matches my very depressed mood ☹️😳🥺

This is technically a radio show. However, I think Fibber McGee and Molly is worth including, since one of the show's strengths was its colorful cast of supporting characters. But as I make my way through the later war years (1943-1945), pretty much every classic character has been retired, most without so much as a proper send-off. No more Gildersleeve (who got his own spinoff series) No more Mrs. Uppington. No more Mr. Wimple. No more Mayor LaTrivia (who got drafted on account of actor Gale Gordon being drafted). No more frigging Old Timer! What we have at this point is pretty thin. Alice the flighty fresh out of high school war plant worker is bland. Housemaid Beaulah has Unfortunate implications without possessing the bite of someone like Rochester Van Jones or even Birdie Lee Coggins to make it more palatable. But by far the worst is Doc Gamble. The intent here was to mimic the argumentative relationship between Fibber and Gildersleeve. However, that worked because Gildersleeve was a self-important blowhard. Doc Gamble is just an @$$hole. It doesn't help that he has a very grating voice.
