This year, the popular annual list is expanding from 20 to 25 members. In years' past, honorees have included Michael Angarano, John Robinson, Gabe Nevins, Anton Yelchin, Daniel Craig, Brandon Routh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Olivia Thirlby, Kat Dennings, and over 2 dozen more performers. PNR will begin to Twitter clues to this year's honorees at 8 AM ET on July 4th.

Subject:CINEMA #175 - "Beach Blanket Blowout!"

The Homecoming...

Kim is HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL! YAY!

She's looking good, she's out of pain, and she's keeping things down. The doctors have told her to take it easy the rest of this week, so she won't be going back to work until next Monday, and hopefully by then things will have stabilized.

She also has TONS of new prescriptions to take, so that sucks, but if it keeps her well, that's what counts, don'tcha know.

We hope to resume production on Subject:CINEMA this week and have a double play up for you this weekend to make up for lost time - her idea, not mine!

Cheers, and thanks SO MUCH for all your well wishes, your thoughts and your prayers during this past 10 days - you really have NO IDEA how much its been appreciated!

The latest updates on Kim and S:C

Well, it's been a week, and she's still not home...

Kim IS doing better, though. She's been able to keep some light food- soda crackers, Italian ices, etc. - down without too much of a problem. She was looking and even feeling decidedly better on Friday, had a slight setback yesterday, but today is at least getting her sense of humor back. She is still in intense pain, however, from whatever is attacking her abdomen...

I spent a couple hours with her today, and near the end, they took blood - a LOT of it - and she got a bit woozy, so she sent me home.  When I got home she called almost in tears because she had a claustrophobia attack when they took her down to try the liver MRI again.  I told her not to worry about it, because those things are SCARY - I had one when I had my gall bladder out last year - and generally are NOT fun. I guess they are talking about possibly sedating her for the test because it has to be done, but needless to say, she was really upset about it.

So she finally wanted to something to do. Our friends Jenn and her boyfriend Steve went by yesterday to see her - I took the day off because it's been an exhausting week - and that cheered her up. And as I said, today she was looking better, the chicken pox blotches almost all gone now, and her color was way better than it has been. She felt well enough that I took her some DVD's to watch (comedies only honey - I am NOT bringing you ECW no matter what you say...) and our portable player, and took the laptop in for her to look through the over 1000 pieces of mail that had come in to her box since her illness started last week.

They also had to install this monster I.V. called a pike in her right arm because her vein collapsed where they had the original one in the left arm. If you've never heard of it - let me tell you, it's a monster - the tube is almost a foot long. They put it in your arm where they would normally put an I.V. and it ends up near your neck. It's so long they have to do a chest x-ray to make sure it's in the proper place. Thankfully, installation went without a hitch, and she can now get her meds again through the I.V. instead of shots or pills, the latter of which she was having trouble keeping down still as of yesterday.

All in all, though, they ARE making progress. Now, they just need to find out what's causing the intense pain, and she'll be on what looks to be a slow but steady road to recovery.

Naturally, i'm waiting to see what happens with Kim before committing to the return of Subject:CINEMA. Hopefully, we'll be able to be back next Sunday - this nearly three week period is the longest period we've ever gone without a show, and if Kim's still in the hospital next week, i'll try to throw something together for next weekend. Obviously, some of the shows are getting rearranged to accommodate her absence - when we DO return it will be with our anniversary show, and the revised Personal Pantheon countdowns we're doing.

In the meantime, please continue to keep Kim in your thoughts and prayers and know that she has really appreciated all the love and support in the letters and emails from our listeners to both of us - thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Cheers,

TC

P.S. - how scary is it that our Google context ad on the right has been picking up all these medical reports on Kim and her ordeal and is now occasionally showing medical-oriented ads? That's NEVER happened before now...heh heh heh...

The Kim Report - June 12 2009

I'd like to say there's news, but there really isn't.  Kim is still suffering from severe abdominal pain and still unable to keep anything down.  The tests they've conducted so far have been negative in all aspects, and they still have yet to do the MRI on her liver, because when they gave her the barium this morning, she promptly vomited it back up...

They are going to retry the procedure tomorrow, and then will go from there.

I hope to have more news when I see her tomorrow. Her spirits are greatly flagging, because she's frustrated that she's been there for five days and she's in exactly the same condition she was in when she was admitted. The doctors don't seem to know what to do, and so far, I can't get any of them to call me so I can talk to them. I did let her duty nurse know today that I'd like to speak to them, so we'll see if that has any effect. Doubtful, but we'll see.

Thanks again for your continued well wishes and support - it means a lot to us!

One of TC's Fave cult TV series coming to DVD - "WEREWOLF" hits in September

You guys KNOW I don't normally shill for something special on the blog, but in this case, I HAVE TO.

Kim and I talked extensively about the short-lived Fox TV series WEREWOLF on last fall's Halloween-themed "Screen Screams"  series on Subject:CINEMA. Now, you can have the chance to own this show and see how goofy (and great) it was for yourself.

Shout Factory will release "WEREWOLF: The Complete Series" on September 1st. 

The full scoop from TVShowsOnDVD.com is here.

I absolutely LOVED this show - one of the few shows of the genre I regularly watched - and  now you can pre-order it from Amazon.Com for just $27.99, almost $15 off the cover price. 

WEREWOLF starred a pre-General Hospital John J York and legendary actor Chuck Connors, and it was a fantastic hybrid of horror and drama. I cannot urge you enough to take advantage of this pre-order opportunity while you can. I did, and I hope you do too!

The Kim Report - June 10 2009

Not much news today...both times I was in to see her she was pretty out of it because of the pain meds.

She's still having trouble keeping things down, and still in a lot of pain from her abdomen, and she has yet to complete her battery of tests. They did the chest scan last night, but no results have been brought up to her as yet; the liver scan is set for sometime tomorrow morning. Maybe then we'll know more.

Needless to say, she's getting frustrated, but knows that she's in the best possible place to be right now, and that she's getting the best possible care. Continuing thanks to all who have sent well wishes, and please continue to keep Kim in your thoughts and prayers as we battle this (as yet) unknown problem.

Thanks for reading!
