The De Completionist Checklist Part 8
1958
Note on the dates: I will mostly be going by when a show/movie was shot rather than its release date. Variety Magazine will be given first priority.
My score: 11 / 13 😊
Need To Find: Playhouse 90 - The Point of No Return, Rough Riders - The Nightbinders,
Favorite Movie: Warlock but man it drags in places. Curly is a great pot-stirrer and his scenes were all great.
Favorite TV Show: Trackdown – The Jailbreak - Best western heavy role in my opinion, the accent, the meanness, smart-alec, perfect. 👌
Favorite Quote: “Why, no, sir. This poster here is my work. Excellent letterin' and spellin', don't you think?.... Oh, Mr. Marshal. I got so many of these. I wonder if you'd kind of like to have one just as a keepsake?” (Warlock)

It really is so fun that Essek started mentioning "my partner" like every three lines because he probably doesn't actually get the chance to talk about it that often.
I think there can often be an impulse when you really care about someone to want to shout from the rooftops all the great things you feel and notice about them, and Essek isn't really in a position to do that. The people who he can talk freely to already know him and Caleb, and the people who don't know them likely aren't safe to tell real personal details to. It's one thing to fabricate a parental relationship knowing that there isn't someone to trace that to, but it's an entirely different thing to tell someone honestly about the people you love when any small detail might put them in danger if it fell into the wrong hands.
The Hells are safe to say that kind of thing to—perhaps mostly on a meta level, in that the DM is aware that they are the protagonists—and they also characteristically tend to offer a listening ear to anyone they meet, and I think it's delightful that Essek actually recognized and responded to that.

There's this tradition in One Piece to bring Hiroshi Kamiya to voice background characters in One Piece. Not just random ones but specifically the character listed as "pirate A" in credits, even if it's a 2 second role.
He voiced random "Pirate A" in the very first episode in 1999 and again in episode 1000, and finally in the live action released this month.
Ironically, he also voices Doflamingo's first string puppet man in episode 151 and Eddy from Bellamy pirates, which operated under Doflamingo. There's no escape huh.

another bit of context that I think is key to understanding assen 2015 is that like. okay a last corner is a last corner; it's not like valentino has ownership over it or whatever. but there is also something in-your-face bold about thinking you can beat valentino rossi at that chicane. sure we don't quite associate the gt chicane with one specific iconic rossi overtake the same way we do last corner jerez or the corkscrew, but thinking you can steal the win from valentino at the chicane is kind of in the same spirit. that's valentino's chicane. he has made countless overtakes there over the years. he loves that chicane he really does
take 2013, where assen was the first race vale won after his ducati dry spell. his overtake on marc in that race isn't at the chicane, but it's in turn one - right after marc had made a small mistake on the chicane and gets poor drive down the straight. which could be completely innocuous, but is also the kind of thing that happens when you're defending against somebody you know is very good at one specific bit of the track. which marc knew. of course he did. after the start, valentino made two other overtakes in that race: on bradl and dani (the latter of which marc had an excellent view for). guess where they both happen. guess where marc overtakes dani
and marc straight up said in the assen 2015 post-race presser that his move there was premeditated, that he'd repeatedly tested out and planned that move during practise. marc, who obviously knows valentino's record at that track, who has studied him so so closely. who knew full well that the fight for the victory was most likely going to come down to the two of them, and knew it could come down to the very last chicane. his plan to win that race was to barge valentino aside, ideally on the final lap, at quite possibly valentino's best series of corners on the entire calendar. no wonder marc was pissed when it didn't work
