Yeah I figured; though adding to the 'Wallace Shawn being the guy from Young Sheldon' discourse: for a long time Ralph Bellamy was 'the doctor in Rosemary's Baby' to me.

Over thanksgiving my sister and I were talking about weird HBO fare, like Americathon, Foul Play, Twice Upon a Time, the first Pee-Wee Herman Show special, and my fave, Hopscotch with Walter Matthau. They would show a movie multiple times a day so a snow/sick day meant you saw it at least twice.
