Stormy Speaks; Roseanne Returns; Hulu Passes; MLB Opens and More! [The Weekly Static! s01e33]

You’ve been scared of love and what it did to you, but you don’t have to run ’cause I know what you’ve been through. Just a simple touch and it can set you free, so we don’t have to rush when you’re alone with… The Weekly Static!

With much love and respect to The Weeknd (who just released a new EP)…I’ll put it to you, Greg: isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of…

The Weekly Static is our look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting and entertaining perspective. So The Weekly Static’s “Justice League” (myself, Rocky, Trejo, Bat-Murr and Margo Staten) makes you these three promises… because we’re good like that:

● Offer blunt, honest perspectives on five TV topics from the past week covered by Bleeding Cool’s team of news-thirsty writers. Just to be clear? My views are my views and don’t reflect on the writers. We own what we say 110%.

● Spotlight a news item that we missed when it first hit, but we’re pretty sure you’ll want to know about.

● Feed my insatiable-yet-fragile ego with buckets of praise, adulation, social media shares, pizza, Superman Funkos, Eisner Awards, write-in votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election (now more than ever) and my own private island-nation.

NBC’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar Live’ Blends the Crafts

“If NBC were looking for a higher-stakes musical to broadcast live on TV, it’s hard to imagine the Peacock landing a bigger fish than “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The rock opera musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice has been revered and reviled over the course of its 47-year history, and the network’s faith in being able to pull off a one-time-only performance at the Brooklyn Armory on April 1 is tantamount to suggesting it can turn water into wine.

Fortunately, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” is riding on more than faith. Producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan (“Hairspray Live,” “The Sound of Music Live,” three Oscar telecasts) are in charge of their fifth such Broadway-to-TV production, and by bringing on board below-the-line artisans with both stage and screen expertise, what could have been a tricky gamble is likely to pay off big… {more}”

The SNL Stefon Funko Pop Is a Must-Add to Your Collection

SNL Funko Pops are here, and I found the Stefon waiting for me on the shelf the other day. The wave of Pops consists of five Pops total — Stefon, David S. Pumpkins, More Cowbell Guy, and a Dick in a Box two-pack. While I want the whole wave, Stefon was my must-have. Ever since debuting on Weekend Update, Bill Hader and writer John Mulaney have made me laugh harder than anyone else. I was reminded of how much I missed them when Hader hosted SNL this month and the character made a triumphant return.

So needless to say, I was pretty pumped to find this one.

I love the look of the box for this one, with the logo and skyline everywhere. It’s also interesting that they gave the show its own Pop series numbering instead of just making them a part of the television series. That would suggest that we are going to get many more of these.

Once he’s out of the box you can truly take in all of his glory. There are a few areas where this Pop could have just a horrific paint job, but thankfully it does not. This Pop has everything: the hair, the shirt, the rings on his fingers. This is just a complete home run.

Hopefully I can find the rest of these soon. I may just have to order them online, which is possible to do right here. I also hope we get even more SNL Pops. Wayne’s World, the Cheerleaders, Target Lady, any character played by Eddie Murphy. There is so many possibilities that it could end up being one of the greatest sets we will ever get.
