Hello RTV Fanatics Unite fans! From Ricky the Rat, Rufus the Rat Terrier, And of course me, Catlover04! Good morning RTV People, How are you on this hot and sunny Sunday morning? Wondering - is it "middle of the city beach" time for WM yet? (Still no! The weather has switched from much-colder-than-usual to sweltering-heat-but-clouds-and-rain! Grr!!) This is the time of year when WMisms are hard to come by because in truth, WM is a summertime beach bum (#SBB) spending every waking free moment he can possibly find at the beach. So if he doesn't show up for WMs we will know. Gee I wish I was close enough to a beach to be a summertime beach bum (it's great fun!) It's been all Olympic swimming trials for me this week. Daughter has been really into it, so I've been turning over the TV to her anytime she wants it. Don't want her missing a thing! This must be a preview of how the Olympics will be for me in a few weeks. Last night, instead of the Hallmark (since I was going to be running late for it due to swimming trials) I visited Great American Pureflix and picked a movie. I thought I hadn't seen a particular one before, but once I started watching it I realized I had. Great movie. Definitely worth a second look. It was... Fifteen years ago, Ben Walker made a decision to leave his college sweetheart and ultimately his faith, in order to pursue a lucrative business opportunity. Now with a high-paying career and a trophy fiancé, he is visited by an angel, who gives him a glimpse into what his life would look like had he followed his calling. What I may not have realized when I first watched this movie (it was quite some time ago) is that it is a product of "The Chosen" creator/director/writer Dallas Jenkins. It was from earlier in his career, before he achieved all his current success. Released in theaters in 2010 (and not to be confused with recent Marvel work by the same name), it is a look back at the direction our lives may have taken if we had chosen differently. Now, I was always told to NOT spend too much time on the "what ifs" of life since there is no way to go back and undue mistakes. But I suppose if you have an angel, especially one that looks like former "Cheers" star and Disney voice actor John Ratzenberger (long-time animated Disney veteran voice, most famously "Toy Story" ) Well, he's trying to help you get your feet set in the right direction after years of missteps away from God's calling for your life! I mean, who could resist that? The movie stars Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules" actor who was blacklisted from Hollywood for being an outspoken Christian many years ago; he now has his own family/faith studio where he produces faith-based independent films, most of which can be found on Pureflix) and Kristy Swanson (who I know best as one of Gary Hobson's girlfriends on "Early Edition" way back when, and Lassiter's girl in "Psyche". But some might remember her in the title role from the 1992 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie, before Sarah Michelle Geller made the iconic part famous on television. Who knew?) Back to the film I watched: it can be described as "It's a Wonderful Life"-ish. In the opening scene, he is making a wrong choice for his life but is completely oblivious to that fact. He gets a business opportunity that pulls him away from his calling, his girl and the life that was supposed to be his. Accepting the offer, he loses everything (his calling and his girl) in the process. Fifteen years later, he's wealthy and successful: engaged to a beautiful woman and becoming partner at his firm. Yes, that seems seems great on the surface. But it's not where he's supposed to be. He needs to be reminded of what life COULD have been if he'd made a different choice fifteen years ago - the choice that would have kept him in the place GOD had prepared for him. Enter angel Mike, whose job it is to do just that. A minor car accident knocks him unconscious. Cranky tow truck driver (Angel Mike) deposits him in a world completely unfamiliar to him - except for Wendy. Seems he is now married to this girl that he left behind and raising two daughters with! And making things more uncomfortable for him, he is deposited in this reality where he has just been appointed the pastor of a small church - and today is his introduction to the congregation! Imagine! He had walked away from his faith years ago, and now he's standing up in front of a group of strangers to give a sermon. He certainly can't say "God wants you to make money. So go out and make money". Yikes! IF you watch carefully, you might even see a small cameo from Dallas himself. And hear him sing. There is a song playing on a radio at one point which I learned was Dallas singing. Which introduces this fun fact: some of his early works always featured him singing at some point. Who knew? Don't think I've ever heard him sing on "The Chosen", heh. My Pureflix movie review for the day. A movie worth watching. Now, what's on tap for TV this week? Not much. We are in a very dry TV season. Sunday, June 23rd "The Chosen", Season 4 Episode 6 Livestream at 7 pm. "Lazaras! Come forth!" (Is he being played by John Ratzenberger?) That is the story highlighted in tonight's episode. Only two more episodes of season four left! It's going by too fast. Monday, June 24th Olympic trials and more Olympic trials. Swimming is finished now; time to move on to track and field. Yep, it's been a while since we have had anyone in the house so enthusiastic about these things. But since we do... been kind of fun. However, I might watch Great American tonight. They are playing one of my favorite movies. originally released on Pureflix. "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters", 8 pm on Great American When a wealthy businessman learns of his daughter's engagement, he struggles to give up control and trust God with her future. Another "Sometimes God has plans for our kids that are different from what the well-meaning parents want" story. A young girl just graduates college with a business degree. Dad has always thought she would get her first job in his company; great opportunity for her to begin her career. But he never planned on her getting engaged and using her degree in a ministry far from home. I love this movie so much. Might give it some network TV support (Great American is considered "network" TV?) even though I can watch it any time on GA Pureflix. Tuesday, June 25th "America's Got Talent: Auditions 4", Season 19 Episode 4, 8 pm on NBC Auditions continue this week. Does that mean the Olympic trials will move to Peacock? Not sure, but I'm glad we don't have to wait another week. I fear that might make it difficult for me to stay interested. Wednesday, June 26th ""MasterChef Generations: Back to the Future, Mystery Box", Season 23 Episode 5, 8 pm on Fox The chefs face their first mystery box challenge where they are presented with a childhood photo of themselves and are tasked with creating a restaurant-worthy dish that highlights their favorite nostalgic comfort foods from their youth. Audition phase is over: now it's time for the competition to begin! Who will be the better cooks in this generational battle: the Baby Boomers? Gen X? Millennials? Gen Z? I guess we will find out. "Gordon Ramsey's Food Stars: Mars Attacks", Season 2 Episode 6, 9 pm on FOX The entrepreneurs are tasked with innovating a new chocolate product by crafting an original name, label and jingle for their creations; Mars Inc. executives Rankin Carrol, Esther Gamble and Sarah Bilson serve as guest judges. The score is now Team Ramsey 2, Team VanderPump 2. Boy, last week the competition wasn't even close! Team V outshined Team R hugely. I'd say it was like 80 / 20; maybe even 90 / 10? As you can imagine, Gordon was not happy. Not at all! His teamed bombed! But to be fair, it was more a case of Lisa's team knocking it out of the park. Competition wasn't even close. Thursday, June 27th "The Chosen", Season 4 Episode 7 Livestream at 8:30 pm This will be the last episode of season four! It has been so good. Sometime before summer ends, I'm going to relive the entire series from season one episode one, just for fun. Friday, June 28th "The Mole on Netflix, Season 2" I think Ali said she is not available tonight. And I'm not available to chat on Saturday. If we want, we could wait until Sunday, June 30th to do a group chat. Oops! Just noticed on Zap2It that "The Great Food Truck Race" will premiere season seventeen on the Food Network that night. Hmm..... Fun summer show. One I will probably watch if anyone cares to group chat it!
Oh well. We will figure it out. These are my rat musings for the day. If anyone has anything to add, please do so in the comments.
