Someone once wrote a Jekyll-and-Hyde story where Holmes was hired to investigate. IIRC, the J-&-H story is now in the public domain, as is all the earlier stuff from ACD about Sherlock Holmes (basically, anything before Reichenbach Falls.)

Once you went to dinner, and a staffer there left a post-it on your shoulder-blade because he had asked to use your shoulder-blades in an experiment he was working on. That was when you ate at the Jekyll-and-Hyde Club. (The guy also considered using the bottom of my hair, as well.)

Yes. So glad I didn't have to abandon the round. :)

Here's the names of some of the episodes of this series. (It is a completed series.) "the Last Laugh" "Mommy's Little Monster" "A Legion of Horribles" "One of My 3 Soups" "Follow the White Rabbit" "Stop Hitting Yourself" "the Balloonman" "the Mask" "Lovecraft" "the Executioner" "All Will Be Judged" "Hog Day Afternoon" "One Bad Day" "Azrael" "They Who Hide Behind Masks" "A Day in the Narrows" "Pena Dura" "Ace Chemicals"

I made sure each of these specifically was credited as Jekyll- not all roles are played by the same actor, either as voice actors, or in older plays or movies. BTW, which one got you thinking- Malkovich?

No. Cheez, I hope you get this soon. I may leave in another minute. If I do, I'll miss your next guess.

It's Dr Henry Jekyll. I was about to ask George about his shoulder-blades to see if he got it.

No.. For that matter, I don't think ACD himself ever wrote about this character. There's an odd piece of trivia I'll mention at the end of the round, however (not that it would help in the guessing.)

I have trouble picturing that, too. However, there's a logical reason they both managed it despite looking so different. (No, there's not some cleverly-hidden clue there.) It's not Frankenstein, nor his monster,

Ok, next round. Here's the names of some of the episodes of this series. (It is a completed series.) "the Last Laugh" "Mommy's Little Monster" "A Legion of Horribles" "One of My 3 Soups" "Follow the White Rabbit" "Stop Hitting Yourself"

One quote MENTIONED a Pontiac Firebird. I don't remember if any actually appeared in this movie, even in passing. It also was not a remake of a previous movie.

Ok, next round. John Barrymore Conrad Veidt Frederic March Spencer Tracy Christopher Lee Udo Kier

Even in a thread that only spans 5 years, there can be some repetition. You might find this one solvable this time around.

"I'm looking for Mister Dunbar." "That's playing in the theater down the street." "I said 'DUNBAR', not 'GOODBAR.'" Must be "Looking for Mister Goodbar." Anyone know if it's any good?

"Thor"???

"Dream on!" is an expression that is synonymous with the expression "You wish!" It's a reply that someone has an unrealistic expectation.

In the already-retconned "Trials of Shazam", we got Billy as "Marvel", the guardian of the Rock of Eternity who replaced the wizard Shazam, and Freddy Freeman, who completed some mixed-quality challenges by "the gods of magic" to get their powers. Freddy ended up dressed as a traditional Captain Marvel and called "Shazam", but able to determine whether or not he was calling the lightning with a change of intent when saying the name. Then came the "Black Lantern" fiasco. The old wizard returned from the dead. This should have meant NOTHING since his office/authority was now held by "Marvel" (who was able to change Black Adam's magic word to one Adam didn't know) and his powers were no longer granted by his own 6 patrons (he no longer had access to the magic lightning with the power of Vlarem which made HIM a superhero,) The writers disregarded that, and he immediately took away the powers and office of Billy and Mary. He planned to "deal with" Freddy- but had no ability to remove HIS powers since the Trials ended with them bestowing the powers directly and not through Shazam.) Should have been useless. I mean, if, say, George Washington rose from his grave and told the Secret Service to put the current sitting President into custody, they wouldn't do it because they obey the current sitting President. Washington no longer holds that office. (And so on.) The comics also have 2 villains that can't say their name- IBAC and SABBAC. (Although I had a comic where the writers forgot, and Ibac said his own name and didn't change that time. Shazam vol 1 Number 29, "Ibac Meets Aunt Minerva." https://comicvine.gamespot.com/shazam-29-ibac-meets-aunt-minerva/4000-17408/ Great splash page. Ibac and Cap fightning. AM cheers them on and says she'll marry the winner. Both: "I LOSE!" ) Spy Smasher once tricked IBAC into losing. SS flipped Ibac, and said he had no hope of winning. "Back down!" Ibac: "NEVER! I BACK DOWN FOR NO ONE!" And Ibac's transformation began as soon as he said "I back" ' :) Very clever, Armstrong! https://comicvine.gamespot.com/justice-league-of-america-135-crisis-in-eternity/4000-16742/

History lesson as to why (which you probably know): Fawcett Comics made a kid who became a superhero. DC Comics made a superhero who became an adult man. Kids made Captain Marvel more popular than Superman. So DC hit Fawcett with nuisance lawsuits until Fawcett went bankrupt. Marvel Comics discovered that the trademark on "Captain Marvel" had lapsed, so they made their own (Kree Captain Mar-Vell, aka "Captain Marvel.") He later became the first superhero to die of cancer, and was first of several "Captain Marvels" of DC (Monica Rambeau, Genis- Vell, later Linda Danvers went from Ms Marvel to Binary to Warbird to Captain Marvel.) Later, DC bought up all the Fawcett characters like they did Charlton (Blue Beetle, etc.) They could no longer call the comic "Captain Marvel", so the title became "with a magic word- SHAZAM!" Which also became the title on the live TV show with the Winnebago. As a small child, I had no trouble keeping track of the hero's name. However, plenty of people DID have that problem. So, a lot of people have thought of the superhero (not just the old wizard Shazam) as "Shazam", Especially with the "Captain Marvel" movie out, DC's given up on calling the Marvel Family "the Marvel Family", and made them all Shazams.
