    I actually agree with them on Little Monsters. It’s just mean spirited garbage that just uses dark images for the sake of doing so.

      I had never seen “Little Monsters” as a child. Not because I thought it was gonna be scary, I was watching Freddy and Jason movies constantly back then. I just hated Fred Savage and Howie Mandel. I saw some of it a couple of years ago. I remember a scene where a little girl is asleep and Howie Mandel is flicking his tongue near her ear. I remember thinking “What in the World? How did that not get cut out?” It was so creepy.

    If you’re wondering why The Little Thief’s footage in their review isn’t shown from andyfilm’s transfer of this episode is probably because of copyright. Just in case some of you were wondering.

      Andy said he had to remove segments from a small number of his videos for copyright, but will try to repost them later with all the footage. For now, I put in a link to an older copy of the video that has the footage. If you find any more with missing footage, please post another comment.

    Wired sucks so bad. It could have been good because Chiklis is very good and the dreary mood is right but the whole structure with “Angel ” sucks. The actor playing Angel sucks, I thought I was watching “Chico and the Man.” Bob Woodward’s book on the other hand is excellent though. If you’re interested in Belushi then I highly recommend it. He interviewed practically everyone Belushi was with in his final days and gives practically a day by day account of his final months. I know Belushi’s loved ones don’t like the book but hey, they truth hurts.
