Once In A Lifetime #19 "Just What the Doctor Ordered"
Added 2024-04-11 10:00:06 +0000 UTCOn this edition of Once In A Lifetime, we're chatting about the most recent—not final, most recent!—entry in the Stalked by My Doctor franchise, Just What the Doctor Ordered! In this Dr. Beck-starring sequel, our favorite maniac doctor does a brief stint as a Hider in the House, our protagonists move into a "fixer-upper" that looks like it had a renovation finished yesterday, Dr. Beck does a little high-risk bathroom snooping, and a wildly horny, self-destructive detective is on the case... after she tries really hard to sleep with Beck! Not nearly enough Laid Back Beck, though... PLUS: The film takes a sharp turn toward a Saw-type situation!
Just What the Doctor Ordered stars Eric Roberts, Grace Patterson, Carrie Schroeder, Brandon Tyler Moore, Adrian Eppley, and Eliza Roberts as Nurse Christine McCoy; directed by Jeff Hare.
Once In A Lifetime is a bi-monthly (every-other month) WHM podcast where the gang watches some outrageous Lifetime (and Lifetime-adjacent) movies and attempts to sift through the madness within.

So glad I signed up for the Patreon, these are all so fun! In a perfect world this would have more sequels than The Fast and the Furious franchise.

2024-05-03 12:36:54 +0000 UTCHere here! Steve has sometimes blown my mind with the Beckett references, (Crap's Last Tape,) one of my all-time favorite writers!

2024-04-27 22:52:01 +0000 UTCWeeewwww, eric, that "helicopter parents" line is pure Patreon! :) My girlfriend and I have finally made it through all of these masterpieces. We weren't sure about this last one at first, it seemed like Eric Roberts might be getting somewhat tired. But with the return of laid-back Beck (only one scene?!), he showed he's still in top form! Can't wait for the next one, get set to wear the blue!

2024-04-27 22:48:00 +0000 UTCI shot hot coffee out of my nose while commuting to nursing school listening to the guys following each other with impressions of the daughter calling 911 in their high-pitched voices. Hot. coffee.

2024-04-15 22:50:59 +0000 UTCI was sad he didn't get to show any ladies his stock photo mansion and boat this time around.

2024-04-15 21:12:24 +0000 UTCwho came first, Laid Back Beck or Farscape's Laid Back Scorpius? 🤔 (loving this, as always, these episodes are always a delight)

2024-04-15 17:56:15 +0000 UTCI didn't realize that Chris was making a Dr. Beck/🤥musician-Beck reference until the 2nd time he started singing, and I felt really stupid. Then the rest of the guys confessed they just got it like 10 minutes later so I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

2024-04-14 14:13:49 +0000 UTCRe: getting Eric Roberts work in good movies - I feel obliged to give a shout-out to his work in Star80 (albeit with the caveat that is a fucking bleak movie) where he manages the balancing act of being sleazy, menacing, and at the same time genuinely pathetic all without feeling like a broad caricature. It's a career best for the guy and the fact he got it in so early is sad in a way.

2024-04-14 12:52:30 +0000 UTCI actually just read an article on 1900hotdog about a lifetime movie that might(?) be a good episode for the show. It's from 2004 and it's called "She's Too Young." It stars Marcia Gay Haden as the mother of a girl involved in a high school syphilis outbreak. It's definitely from the era of parental fear mongering over rumored rainbow parties and that stupid fake game where if a dude broke a girl's snap bracelet off her wrist she'd have to do mouth stuff. God the bush era was stupid. Keep up the good work 👍

2024-04-12 16:33:09 +0000 UTCI can’t have the series end with this one. I know Eric Robert’s has 40+ IMDB credits for 2024 (by the way, what the fuck?!) but I’m gonna need him to squeeze in some time for more Dr. Beck adventures!

2024-04-11 21:45:44 +0000 UTC89% of my enjoyment of this series are the incredible impersonations of the Eric Roberts tremulous wheedle.

2024-04-11 20:46:29 +0000 UTCDr. Beck definitely spunked all over that heart just to give it a protective coating

2024-04-11 16:32:11 +0000 UTCI'm always a big vocal supporter of this, my favorite WHM side show. This month marks 3 years since it started, with the first Stalked by My Doctor in April 2021! So of course it's appropriate that this is this month's movie. Oh how time flies. Pretty excited to watch it and listen to this tonight. <3

2024-04-11 11:06:13 +0000 UTCGod I love these movies, they're just the right kind of insane! Looking forward to hearing this episode, mostly for the Dr Beck impressions 🙂 I really hope this isn't the last we've seen of Dr Beck.
