Monk

She is a full character in this.

Jane Lynch is a recurring, um, but I mean, you got Monk, Tony Shalhoub-

You know I love Tony Shalhoub

... who plays Rachel Brosnahan's, uh, dad-

he understands that what you don't see can sometimes be far more frightening than what you do.

By the way, if you only know Ted Levine from this film, it's worth mentioning he later spent years playing the gruff but lovable Captain Stottlemyre in the detective series Monk, and the fact that both performances come from the same actor tells you everything about his range.

Then there's the moth.

the death's head hawkmoth becomes a symbol of Buffalo Bill's obsession, and it gives the investigators one of the crucial clues that eventually points them towards him.

My man from, uh, Finding Forrester.

Who was the guy from Monk?

Um, yeah, To- isn't that Tony Shalhoub, right?

Tony Shalhoub was Monk.

Monk?

Yeah, Monk.

Monk is Tony Shalhoub.

Yeah.

What does it cost to notice every single thing that is out of place? Editing a book requires an obsessive attention to detail that can easily tip into madness.

Writing for Defector on October second, twenty twenty-six, the author finds an unexpected lifeline for the grueling final days of manuscript revision, the comforting predictability of the two thousands television show Monk.

The piece circles a surprisingly heavy question for a tribute to a lighthearted procedural.

What is the psychological toll of trying to fix every tiny flaw in your own work, and when do you simply walk away? Written by Sabrina Imbler in Defector, narrated for Arva.

One of Monk's most Monk-like episodes in all of Monk occurs in season two, episode seven, Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect.

Adrian Monk, Tony Shalhoub's impersonation of Eeyore if the donkey had severe OCD, has taken to visiting Brian Babbidge, a comatose man and his prime murder suspect, for an unofficial therapy session.

Monk's actual therapist is away on vacation, and the private detective desperately needs someone to talk to.

"He's a good listener," Monk tells his bewildered assistant, Sharona Fleming.

And today we are finally going to sit down and talk all about one of our old childhood favorites, which is Samurai Troopers, AKA Ronin Warriors.

[laughs] This was an episode that, uh, we meant to record much earlier in the year, obviously, uh, because, A, it was something that I had been wanting to talk about for a long time, and B, the new series, Yoroi Shinden: Samurai Troopers, came out in Japan earlier this year, uh, which is a direct sequel to the original TV series.

But obviously, my little health problems, uh, kinda got in the way of that, but we're finally sitting down, we're finally gonna do it, and I'm so pumped.

I'm so excited.

this is always something I love asking people when we sit and we talk about, like, a very specific title, like an anime or a manga.

How would you describe Ronin Warriors to someone who'd never seen it before?

Who've never seen Ronin Warriors before, I would first ask if they are familiar with Sailor Moon or any other Magical Girl series, and if they say no, I will ask, "Where have you been, and why are we friends?"

[laughs]

I guess he was on Dawson's Creek, Jeff Foxworthy's show.

What else? Monk? Oh, he was the kid on Monk.

He was the son on Monk.

Good for him.

Jonathan Lipnicki has not done a lot of adult serious acting, so I do think it's a big deal.

You just said outcast.

I'm correcting you that I didn't say that about outcast.

Okay, shout out to George Palapar and Egregious Monk in the chat and anyone else watching.

Yeah,

Rowan Atkinson is Tony Shalhoub in Monk.

Same guy.

Yeah, it's a character of his.
