While driving in to Cape May to visit my wife, Cathrine, at West End Garage where she and Cindy Benigno were representing Cape Island Foods on West Cape May Hospitality night, I was lucky to catch Cathrine’s version of “Dream A Little Dream” on the radio at 101.5 WCFA. This is the third song I’ve heard in the wild since recording our show with Annie Walsh in September. Two Cathrine, one Terry. I’m sensing a little bias here. Though, in fairness, everyone likes her better. Speaking of lovely local lady singers, local chanteuse Maddie Hogan’s new song, “Beautiful Temporary,” is out now on all the usual places you listen to and buy music. There’s even a cute music video on YouTube though, disappointingly, she is not in her pajamas. (Congratulations, Maddie!) I can always tell when someone has slept in my bed. The delicate arrangements of my blankets and pillows just feels a bit… off. And if you’re scoffing at me for having a delicate arrangement of blankets and pillows in my bed you know damn well you have one, too, so stop your fooling. I wanted to see Where The Crawdads Sing in the theater but missed out, so I was excited to catch it on Netflix the other night and… I’m glad I didn’t waste my money. It’s not bad. Exactly. It’s just… not good. I wanted Fried Green Tomatoes-level female-centric Oscar bait, what I got was a gussied-up Lifetime movie. You could set your watch by the predictable “shocking” plot twists. Speaking of Not-Good movies, wew lad was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever a slog. After a touching first 15 minutes that paid fitting tribute to Chadwick Boseman, for the next two-plus hours I kept waiting for something to happen. I mean, stuff happened, there were scenes and costumes and acting and stuff, but none of it really meant anything. And, while I’m certainly no Adonis, I feel like the guy playing Prince Namor could have hit the gym a few times before filming began. I mean, Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd got totally ripped for their Marvel turns. Anyway, not recasting T’Challa was a fatal mistake. I hated this movie. But I didn’t hate every movie I saw this week. I loved Weird: The Al Yankovic Story on Roku. I had no idea what to expect and what I got was a delightful, Airplane-esque take on the man who brought us “Like A Surgeon” and “Eat It.” Daniel Radcliffe (whose casting, I think, was part of the joke) goes full bore as the title character and there are about 100 great cameos that will have you pausing and rewinding. Weird is wonderful. Stanley Tucci (Shall We Dance) is a great actor. David Tennant (Broadchurch) is a great actor. Their Netflix show, Inside Man, is not great. As a two-hour movie I might have bought into it. At four episodes it felt stretched beyond reason. There’s a great, meaty, Hannibal Lecter-type role out there for Tucci. This is not it. (Stanley Tucci and I once auditioned for the same part. He got it and earned an Oscar nod. I didn’t and watched him at the Oscars. So who is the real winner here?) Lastly this week, after a four-year/five-summer run, my weekend musical residency at Exit Zero has come to an end. Thank you to Jerry Kolber, Dave Hughes and Cathrine O’Brien for standing up there with me. And Tim Joyce for getting it all started. Hundreds of gigs, thousands of songs, and I enjoyed singing every one of them for you. The Terry O’Brien Trio is at the Brown Room at Congress Hall on Sunday, November 27, 12-4pm, then make our Mudhen debut on February 4. Aside from a couple of private Christmas parties, every date before, after and in-between is open. Adult music for adults in stunning harmony. ’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.
