Will Ferrell movie before.<br />

While driving in to Cape May<br />

to visit my wife, Cathrine, at West<br />

End Garage where she and Cindy<br />

Benigno were representing Cape<br />

Island Foods on West Cape May<br />

Hospitality night, I was lucky<br />

to catch Cathrine’s version of<br />

“Dream A Little Dream” on the<br />

radio at 101.5 WCFA. This is the<br />

third song I’ve heard in the wild<br />

since recording our show with<br />

Annie Walsh in September. Two<br />

Cathrine, one Terry. I’m sensing<br />

a little bias here. Though, in fairness,<br />

everyone likes her better.<br />

Speaking of lovely local lady<br />

singers, local chanteuse Maddie<br />

Hogan’s new song, “Beautiful<br />

Temporary,” is out now on all the<br />

usual places you listen to and buy<br />

music. There’s even a cute music<br />

video on YouTube though, disappointingly,<br />

she is not in her pajamas.<br />

(Congratulations, Maddie!)<br />

I can always tell when someone<br />

has slept in my bed. The delicate<br />

arrangements of my blankets<br />

and pillows just feels a bit… off.<br />

And if you’re scoffing at me for<br />

having a delicate arrangement of<br />

blankets and pillows in my bed<br />

you know damn well you have<br />

one, too, so stop your fooling.<br />

I wanted to see Where The<br />

Crawdads Sing in the theater but<br />

missed out, so I was excited to<br />

catch it on Netflix the other night<br />

and… I’m glad I didn’t waste my<br />

money. It’s not bad. Exactly. It’s<br />

just… not good. I wanted Fried<br />

Green Tomatoes-level female-centric<br />

Oscar bait, what I got was a<br />

gussied-up Lifetime movie. You<br />

could set your watch by the predictable<br />

“shocking” plot twists.<br />

Speaking of Not-Good movies,<br />

wew lad was Black Panther:<br />

Wakanda Forever a slog. After a<br />

touching first 15 minutes that<br />

paid fitting tribute to Chadwick<br />

Boseman, for the next two-plus<br />

hours I kept waiting for something<br />

to happen. I mean, stuff<br />

happened, there were scenes and<br />

costumes and acting and stuff,<br />

but none of it really meant anything.<br />

And, while I’m certainly no<br />

Adonis, I feel like the guy playing<br />

Prince Namor could have hit the<br />

gym a few times before filming<br />

began. I mean, Chris Pratt and<br />

Paul Rudd got totally ripped for<br />

their Marvel turns. Anyway, not<br />

recasting T’Challa was a fatal<br />

mistake. I hated this movie.<br />

But I didn’t hate every movie<br />

I saw this week. I loved Weird: The<br />

Al Yankovic Story on Roku. I had no<br />

idea what to expect and what I got<br />

was a delightful, Airplane-esque<br />

take on the man who brought us<br />

“Like A Surgeon” and “Eat It.”<br />

Daniel Radcliffe (whose casting,<br />

I think, was part of the joke) goes<br />

full bore as the title character and<br />

there are about 100 great cameos<br />

that will have you pausing and<br />

rewinding. Weird is wonderful.<br />

Stanley Tucci (Shall We<br />

Dance) is a great actor. David<br />

Tennant (Broadchurch) is a great<br />

actor. Their Netflix show, Inside<br />

Man, is not great. As a two-hour<br />

movie I might have bought into it.<br />

At four episodes it felt stretched<br />

beyond reason. There’s a great,<br />

meaty, Hannibal Lecter-type role<br />

out there for Tucci. This is not it.<br />

(Stanley Tucci and I once auditioned<br />

for the same part. He got it<br />

and earned an Oscar nod. I didn’t<br />

and watched him at the Oscars.<br />

So who is the real winner here?)<br />

Lastly this week, after a<br />

four-year/five-summer run, my<br />

weekend musical residency at<br />

Exit Zero has come to an end.<br />

Thank you to Jerry Kolber, Dave<br />

Hughes and Cathrine O’Brien<br />

for standing up there with me.<br />

And Tim Joyce for getting it all<br />

started. Hundreds of gigs, thousands<br />

of songs, and I enjoyed<br />

singing every one of them for<br />

you. The Terry O’Brien Trio is<br />

at the Brown Room at Congress<br />

Hall on Sunday, November 27,<br />

12-4pm, then make our Mudhen<br />

debut on February 4. Aside from a<br />

couple of private Christmas parties,<br />

every date before, after and<br />

in-between is open. Adult music<br />

for adults in stunning harmony.<br />

’Til next week, don’t get<br />

caught in The Undertow.
