It's not all bad though. Sometimes I get to discover things that the internet didn't already know. Sometimes I find guest stars that you might recognize today, but at the time they were nobodies.
The other night I was watching an obscure 1979 movie "Smokey and the Hotwire Gang." I'm not sure if it's even available through normal retail channels. The plot is forgettable (literally - I don't even remember what it's about.) It has something to do with a "hot" woman named Smokey and her gang of... thugs? Then they do... stuff. Like I told you, I can't remember, it was that bad. IMDB gave it a rating of 2.8 out of 10.
The point of all this is, I saw an actor that you and I know well, but this movie was not listed in his IMDB credits. A scoop for me! Here are some screen caps, do you know him?
Of course you do - it's none other than Sopranos star Tony Sirico looking very thin and weasely. In the first pic, he's just chilling out in a diner overhearing some juicy gossip. The second pic is him telling Smokey how it's gonna be. In the last one, Smokey (pictured at right) is apparently trying to find out just how high the waistline of those dungarees goes. Like I said, I can't even remember what it's about and I watched the whole thing.In summary, I can say with 100% certainty, and having no research of any kind, that this is the first and only place on the internet to have this story. Hopefully, as news of this discovery spreads like wildfire across the internet, the Pat Barringer show will be given full credit. Thanks for tuning in!
