Hello!
In Inglourious Basterds, what film is on the poster behind Shosanna at the beginning of Chapter 5, as she prepares for German Night? The full text is obscured. My best guess is Fraulein Doktor (it's a Nazi spy thriller, which would fit) but that movie's from 1969 and none of the posters of it I've found seem to match the poster depicted anyway.

I watched it late at night years ago as it was the only thing on TV and I actually didn't mind it.

Never actually knew what it was called. And never bothered to look it up.

Same. Caught it by accident one day as a kid and it has stuck with me for decades by this point. Just saw randomly on twitter the other day (some dude was dunking on a different movie available for streaming) but the movie next to the one he was mocking was Sahara. Could legit just rent it now instead of having to troll through the back of a TV Guide to see if it was ever on

It is "Fräulein Doktor" - but it's a fictional movie starring Bridget von Hammersmark.

There's several long running soap operas that average about 200 episodes a year such as General Hospital (15,000 episodes over 59 years), Days Of Our Lives, The Young And The Restless, Coronation Street, etc etc

No, sorry, I should've specified that it was a sitcom/half hour show.

And the thing with this is that it was for some weird syndicated reasoning, and the plethora of episodes only showed up in one season.

On a whim, even though I'm almost certain it was live action, I checked The Real Ghostbusters, and season 2 had 65 episodes, whereas the others had anywhere ranging between 8 and 24 per.

You can't stop what's coming
Anger Management, based on the Sandler movie, had a 90 episode second season for syndication reasons.

I think House of Payne on TBS got like a 200-episode order right off the bat because they knew it’d make its money back in syndication no matter what.

There was also that weird CBS show with the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond called Til Death that had a bizarrely long season that went insanely meta and weird because no one was watching but they wanted to hit their syndication episode count

Yeah, specifically a last-season plot thread was one of the minor characters on the cast becoming aware of the cameras / audience / limits of the sets and having a nervous breakdown as a result

the thing about the jews is,
I was looking for a movie that was recommended here like, an actual decade ago. I pirated it and never watched it, deleted it, and now I want to watch it again. Could have SWORN it was called Cairo, Nest of Spies, but when I looked that up it's a parody/comedy, whereas the movie I'm thinking of was not, and was made in the 70s I think. If this helps, I did open the movie once just to see if it worked and clicked around the intro and I vaguely remember a black woman dancing in a James Bond intro kind of scene. But yeah this was all a decade ago so who knows how accurate any of this is. Thanks! And Sorry!

edit: it might have been a MOTM once

FWIW, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is a continuation/parody of a classic 1950s/60s spy movie series which received critical acclaim and won several awards and a forums search shows that a lot of goons have recommended it over the years

Yeah, I checked that movie out and I'm starting to think mine was mislabeled or something. gently caress I wish I could remember. The movie I'm thinking of seemed so serious, and definitely took place in the Levant, and might have had a psychedelic aspect to it, even with the espionage piece (which may or may not have even existed).

It's actually 'Oh Margie...' for that one. He sings a different lyric about Mindy/Andy earlier, and then at the end, when he and Marge are in the hotel room together, he sings it about Marge. This discussion made me want to rewatch it, so I did.

Sheeeit, you're right, of course. I conflated the two. Marge finds the turkey that fell there when he and Mindy were there previously, right? I haven't seen it for years.
