  • Another Doubtfire Movie?

    Posted on: April 17, 2014 by: Wigmaster
    MRS. DOUBTFIRE is 21 years old.  Those kids that Robin Williams' character fought so hard to stay close to in the movie are all grown by now.  And while MRS. DOUBTFIRE was a very popular comedy, but it had all the serious undertones of divorce and coping with the difficulties of a family struggling through it.  So, someone thought the material could still work two decades later.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, a sequel is moving forward at Fox2000.  Chris Columbus and Williams would reunite for the film, under a script written by ELF's David Berenbaum.  Considering how old Mrs. Doubtfire is supposed to be in the original film, and that the kids have grown up, I assume that this will be about Daniel Hillard's grandchildren.  Perhaps all his kids are undergoing divorce and Hillard brings back Mrs. Doubtfire to entertain all the various grandchildren while their parents fight it out in court. Really? Read More

    Magilla came in studio to play Shock Collar Trivia, make a big announcement, and then make a big ass of himself playing back audio from his big announcement. Chef Brian Averna was in studio, as was Stamford Fire Captain Tom G who both commented on Magilla's news. The Tribe shared excellent stories about things they've lit on fire, and the catchiest PSA song about pooping that you'll ever hear.
