Side Out

For Throwback Thursday we turn our attention to some Beach Volleyball. While not Olympic quality, Side Out manages to highlight the sport in its own way. Working his way to law school, and staying with his uncle (Terry Kiser) for the summer, Monroe Clark (C. Thomas Howell) is ill-prepared for the world he’s walking into. While attempting to evict people from their homes, Monroe runs across degenerate gambler and beach bum Zack Barnes (Peter Horton). Despite his uncle needing Barnes evicted for a lucrative land deal, Monroe strikes up a friendship with the former beach volleyball player and a pair of other locals (Courtney Thorne-Smith and Christopher Rydell) leading him to reassess what he wants out of his life.

Buying a house on a cliff in Cyprus known to locals as a good place to commit suicide, John isn’t looking for anything more than seclusion and anonymity both of which go by the wayside when locals discover his identity and he runs into the love of his life (Agni Scott) still living in the same town.

Exploding Kittens - Pilot

Loosely based on the board game of the same name, the first episode of Exploding Kittens introduces us to a douchebag of a God (Tom Ellis) who is exiled by Heaven’s Board of Directors to Earth to earn a little empathy from humans. Oh, and he’s now a cat. Sent to help the (mostly annoying) Higgins family (Suzy Nakamura, Mark Proksch, Ally Maki, and Kenny Yates), Godcat struggles to bring the family closer together (eventually merging their various individual interests into a bonding activity based on the dad’s roleplaying game that puts the entire group in mortal danger).
