Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie Coming Dec 8

[DancesWithWife]

I enjoyed watching the series, Monk. Glad to see that a Monk movie is coming to Peacock on December 8!

I enjoyed watching the 'Monk' series.  I also saw the actor Tony Shalhoub in 'Wings' and on one episode of Frasier.  He is a very good actor.  With my work schedule, I often saw the episodes of many series only after they were in reruns.

Right there with you.  We used to record and watch after our MWMs. The final episode made us all cry. Looking forward to this. Thanks for the info.

I do have complete Monk Tv series, watching season 4 right now. 

Good news about the movie!

That’s a nice surprise.
Anyone knows if and where it will be available to see in Europe?

I found at least two "easter eggs" in the movie. To put it simply, movie Easter eggs are hidden references, clues or inside jokes that have been inconspicuously (and sometimes not so inconspicuously) placed into TV shows, video games, and movies.  They’re pretty much a creator’s secret love letter to their fans, or in some cases an inside joke with fellow creators.

 

I am not sure how to hide my answer, so I won't post.

Did you catch the "easter egg" that was added?

[bagwell1987]

I really liked Tony in Men in Black, gets his head blown off and grows a new one 😄

[Dolce vita]

Don't you think that Monk looks like Brother Noumair?
I'll make a confession: my family and friends call me Monk. No need to explain why. I'm terrible. My happiness during the pandemic: hydroalcoholic gel and masks😷

Somewhat. I made that same comment about our current Circuit Overseer looking like Monk.

We just finished watching it. What a sad movie...😔

[DancesWithWife]

I will give one of the "Easter Eggs" away. The opening song was written by Randy Newman. "It's a Jungle out there" the opening song of the series. They then inserted his classic song, "I think it's going to rain today" was written by Randy Newman. There was another connection to this song.

I agree. But it was true to his character and the struggles he faced. I did like the last scene, with Watson.

Every great detective needs a Watson...

i missed it, i don't have  cable I do stream Paramount plus tv shows only 

and have Pluto TV but that is all i have 

[DancesWithWife]

Another “Easter Egg”. The book publisher who fires Monk from his book contract is in fact Brooke Adams, who is married to Tony Shalhoub. Her characters name was Beth. Creator of the show, Andy Breckmans wife is Beth Landau.
 

One of his fears is Neil Diamond. Neil Diamond recorded “I think it’s going to rain today” in 1971 for his album “Moods”.

Same here.  No cable.  But my Samsung TV has what is called Samsung Plus.  We watch a lot of shows on Samsung Plus.  I also have downloaded the ROKU channel, TUBI, and others.  They are free just like Pluto TV is free.

We don't either. I got a good deal on the Peacock App for $1.99 a month for a year. I was also able to sign up for Hulu with ads for 99 cents a month. And finally, I am trying MAX for 6 months at $2.99 a month. We get Paramount included with our Walmart Plus program. We don't go to theaters, rarely eat out and are on a limited budget.

I agree. It was sad.  But our family cried at the end of the series.  LOL I liked the Bette Midler version of "I think it's going to rain today" in the movie Beaches.

That's a sad movie with great songs. 

[DancesWithWife]

I like how they did not play the Neil Diamond version of " I think it's going to rain today". It would have been cruel with his fear of Neil Diamond. 

 

Lyrics by Randy Newman:

 

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

 

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

 

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

 

Bright before me the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
