grace pls tell me what strictly come dancing and the discourse around it is 👀

hello akira welcome and do sit for I shall now tell you all about a classic british institution

Strictly Come Dancing (better known as 'Strictly') is a BBC dance contest similar to Dancing with the Stars (or Let's Dance is the German version I think?) Although Strictly was the original blueprint starting in 2004.

Basically, you've got 15 celebrities each paired with a professional Ballroom/Latin dancer, and every week they perform a routine to a Latin or Ballroom (or more recently, a 'couples choice' which can be either contemporary, theatre/jazz, or street/commercial). The public vote for their faves and the two with the least votes compete in a dance-off where the four judges (currently Craig Revel-Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Motsi Mabuse who is also a judge on Let's Dance I believe) save their favourite couple.

LOTS and lots of discourse over the years but the one I am referencing atm is that one of the celebrities this year is known terf Amanda Abbington, who has now pulled out for 'health reasons'. Obviously a lot of people wishing her well but the cynical part of me believes she's running away from the backlash she's been facing for being, well, a piece of shit

some other controversies include the notorious 'Strictly curse' where every year at least one celebrity will break up with their long term partner to start dating their dance partner instead. Some of these relationships end up lasting years but some fall apart before they even leave the show lmao

back in 2010(?) there was a lot of talk about ageism as one of the judges, Arlene Phillips, who was in her late 60s was replaced with 30 something year old Alesha Dixon but obvs the BBC deny that. I remember it received literally hundreds of complaints from viewers tho

Anton du beke also used a racial slur during rehearsals once which obvs got a lot of press attention but he's considered a national sweetheart so everyone forgot about that (!)

it also took them 16 years to allow same-sex couples to dance together and turned multiple celebrities down before 2020 for asking to dance with a same sex partner soooo

a classically problematic British reality show really. and one of the best to criticise because it is watched mainly by 60 year olds who can't cope with anyone pointing out its flaws, so it's a lot of fun to lurk in Facebook comments in particular

#i used to watch it religiously. now i just watch it when something juicy enough happens to fill the tabloids #strictly

Last song: Voulez-Vous Danser by Ace of Base

Last Movie: NBC's 1985 made-for-TV/pilot-that-crashed Covenant, starring Jose Ferrer, Michelle Phillips and Jane Badler. Best described as a kind of Dynasty From Hell (like, Actual Hell), it's about the power struggle of a wealthy family who has been passing down this vaguely defined Power of Evil from generation to generation. It's pretty cheesy and very very weird but it does have two things going for it: 1.) Kevin Conroy is in it, and 2.) Kevin Conroy is in it. I know that's technically the same thing twice, but... I mean, it's Kevin Conroy so whaddya want. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, it originally aired August 5, 1985 as a "special movie event", in actuality a potential pilot for a television series—this was a common practice in the 80s, but obviously this show didn't work out. Unfortunately I didn't know all this when I watched it the first time; I thought it was like a multi-part movie or miniseries kinda deal (like Nutcracker with Lee Remick, another cheeseball TV movie favorite of mine) and after watching it, I actually really wanted to see the conclusion; I was absolutely crushed to learn that it doesn't have one! In any case, I like to watch it on its anniversary every year. It's not a great movie by any means but there's something inexplicably compelling about its heady combo of 80's decadence and MST3K-caliber thriller movie sensibilities. Also, did I mention that Kevin Conroy is in it...?

Currently watching: Uhh. Do SpeedGaming's Zelda 1 Randomizer Tournament videos count?

Currently Reading: Tolkien's Return of the King.

Last Thing Researched For Writing Purposes: I haven't really been writing at all lately; you could say I'm taking a break. LOL Instead I've been doing doll stuff, but this also requires its own research. In this regard, I guess the last thing I researched was doll wig-making. I'm going to try making my own wefts from the mohair that I got. Actually it's already in a wefted format but after making a trial wig I've decided it's a little too thick for this scale so I'm going to be using this mohair to make even thinner wefts. Also I'm going to try making a wig cap out of glue and gluing on the wefts (opposed to a fabric cap and sewing), as I think this might work better for a doll with shorter hair (and in Arlen's case, hidden human ears/felted cat ears).

#thanks for tagging #i'm always happy to talk about this stupid movie

A young Michael Landon, just a few years before rising to fame as “Little Joe” Cartwright in Bonanza, stars as Tony Rivers, a troubled teen struggling with anger management. Whit Bissell is featured as Dr. Alfred Brandon,  a psychologist (or mad scientist) with ulterior motives. Yes! Oh, yes, indeed! It’s the AIP/Herman Cohen campy classic, I Was a Teenage Werewolf. The Grue-Crew is in full Drive-In Theater mode for this one.

High-quality versions of I Was a Teenage Werewolf, streaming or physical media, are not available, but there is a reason. Susan Hart, the actress and widow of AIP co-founder James Nicholson, owns the rights to eleven AIP films outright: It Conquered the World (1956) and its remake Zontar, The Thing from Venus (1966); Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957) and its remake The Eye Creatures (1965); I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957); I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957); The Amazing Colossal Man (1957); Terror from the Year 5000 (1958); Apache Woman (1955); The Oklahoma Woman (1956); and Naked Paradise (1957). She frequently negotiates rights for merchandise and theatrical showings, but physical media has not been updated for release in decades. You can, however, purchase a VHS tape of the movie.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Chad, is The Wasp Woman (1959). Yes, they’re sticking with 1950s B-movies, but moving from AIP/Herman Cohen on to Film Group/Roger Corman!

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: leave them a message or leave a comment on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel, the site, or email the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era podcast hosts at [email protected]

To each of you from each of them, “Thank you so much for watching and listening!”
