Californication -- "The Way of the Fist" -- 1/15/12

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Hank passes on scripting rapper-actor Samurai Apocalypse's film, but the performer won't take no for an answer and drags Hank to a meeting with director Peter Berg, who has a lot more in common with Hank than they both care to admit. Later, Samurai decides to help an unwilling Becca sever ties with Tyler; and little Stuart causes problems at preschool when he flashes a girl classmate.


Episode 2 of 12

Great episode. Lots of laughs. Loved Hank getting his ass kicked by Peter Berg. at the advertising on Berg's shirt for Battleship.

And man, I respect Peter Berg tremendously because of he created Friday Night Lights, but man he was a fucking dick in this episode.

at that little girl getting freaked out by Charlie. Loved Charlie jerking off in front of Vanessa Angel and then the Nanny walks in.

at the masturbation with children theme going on tonight. This show and also Shameless.

Who is Vanessa Angel?

These threads amaze me in the fact that people remember the names of these obscure actors.

She was in the early 90's TV show Weird Science, that was based off the movie. That's probably what she's best known for.

Honestly her resume kind of sucks. Film-wise, she's probably best known for being in Kingpin.

I'm more amazed at how on a forum of people heavily interested in, and watching tons and tons of movies and TV, many of them really suck at naming and even recognizing actors.
No offense.

I'm terrible at names of recent actors (particularly since shows lack opening intros/credits nowadays), but if it's someone from the 80s/90s, particularly someone as hot as Vanessa Angel, I'll remember that.

Vanessa Angel looked great.

Fuck them for letting Peter Berg promote his shitty based on a board game movie in this episode.

I first remember seeing Vanessa Angel in "Spies Like Us".

Re: Californication -- "The Way of the Fist" -- 1/15/12

Couldn't Hank just taken some pictures with his camera phone of the boyfriend making out with another girl and shown them to his daughter? Or would she still hate him for doing that?

I just discovered that Runkle was the star of a short lived show I watched back in college. It was called Woops! and aired on FOX. Pretty funny to see him back then (1992). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYSBs...eature=related

I didn't even know Weird Science had a TV spinoff. I watch tons and tons of good movies and TV.

That really bothered me. I understand they were trying to further the plot along but this was just silly. I get that Hank has a tendency to have his good intentions go wrong but how does it not dawn on him to snap some pictures and show Becca proof that the BF is an asshole? How about pulling Karen or even Richard aside and telling them what you saw and see how they would handle it. COME ON.

I thought the same thing. The writers like to make characters stupid on shows.

I just discovered that Runkle was the star of a short lived show I watched back in college. It was called Woops! and aired on FOX. Pretty funny to see him back then (1992). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYSBs...eature=related
I discovered that when Californication started. I actually watched Woops! when it aired and didn't think much of it at the time. I remember thinking that the lead actor (Evan Handler) must be wearing a wig because it looked really fake. I think I was right looking at Handler years later.

She'd be pissed at him, find a way to blame him, and still keep seeing the creep.
