The Wheel and Axle

One of my favorite women doing a hilarious impression of one of my favorite women. Kate is just as much of a goddess as Gal. Also, that activity Gal apparently did during dinner with the SNL cast? I do that when I meet new people on my team. And oh man I wish I’d seen Gal when I was in the Maldives. And Kate, Kate, Kate, too.

Man alive, I’m ranting. I love these two ladies!

Last weekend, my lady Kate McKinnon as well Alec Baldwin did an awesome and hilarious parody on SNL of the first 2016 US Presidential Debate (which happened just the Monday prior). It is so spot-on that we all should be frightened – simply because this impersonation is exactly what Donald Trump truly is, and perhaps Alec’s portrayal is even tamer than the real thing. Trump’s this close not only to becoming president of his own country but also the most powerful man in the world.

And that is a frightening thought indeed.

Do the right thing, American brothers and sisters!

Get Ghost, Part 1

Melissa McCarthy as Abby Yates and Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert are ostensibly the main stars of the Ghostbusters ensemble, if only because the work of the characters was the root of the entire enterprise and their old friendship is the emotional core of the film. They also acted as the de facto leaders of the group when it became fully-formed, if only because Holtmann was mostly interested in building machines (oh, there go those misogynists’ heads exploding at the thought that a woman is actually capable of engineering) and Tolan was a non-science outsider who just joined later on.

Ghostbusters pays great respect to its predecessor while making its own distinct mark.

All naysayers who booed the movie without even seeing it just because the leads are all women can just kiss some ectoplasmic ass. We pay them no heed.

Was it perfect? No. There were occasional pacing issues and a few jokes fell flat. However, it was still generally hilarious, with fairly smart humor peppered with a little slapstick.

In honor of my favorite Ghostbuster of the new era – Jillian Holtzmann – here are some Kate McKinnon classics, including the Pantene parody where I first noticed her.

Kate is such a talented chameleon and is the best part of the reboot, followed by Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth. (Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig were also great, but those first three are just such riots.)

Kate deserves more projects. I anticipate – nay, demand more DeBarging Holtzmann in the sequel.

Yes, I have a girl crush.
