Hey folks. So because of a death in Ed's family our GoT show won't be up until next week. The show after that is going to be about Crossovers in in fiction.


If you could, tell me about your favorite crossovers in film, tv, comics or literature that you can think of. Hell, even if you don't like them let me know about the more obscure ones.

Mine was the LotR/Hobbit films first, then First Avenger and lastly Avengers. I'd have to get back on others but those right off are my faves

 

[dude stannis]

hahahaha YES he finally said "sweet christmas!!!"

Did Victarion re-order the episodes for you? He says it when he breaks out of jail and possibly earier.

Isn't that like calling The Phantom Menace a crossover?

Richard Bezler playing Det. Munch in every TV show ever has to be included.

Yeah, the Belz in a way even crossed over as Munch into the VERY BRADY SEQUEL.

Dr Fraiser Crane in however many shows he pops up in. Also can't go wrong with the classics, like the Universal Monsters, or King Kong vs Godzilla.

Michael Keaton in Jackie Brown/Out of Sight.

i really liked when the Rocky series crossed over with Happy Gilmore. No one seems to put facts together... Apollo Creed fought Ivan Drago with one hand... hence his defeat. He didn't die from the window fall.. he was in a coma and woke up to a robot maid who wanted to **** Paulie.

I like the crossovers between Stephen King's major horror novels - IT, The Stand, Salem's Lot - and his Dark Tower cycle. Ditto for his collaborations with Peter Straub, The Talisman and Black House.

Who threw me into the pokey?

Michael Keaton in Jackie Brown/Out of Sight.

For a while there that was the most you saw of Keaton. If they were gonna do a Leonard adaption there was a good chance Keaton as Ray Nicolette might show up.

I was not joking. The (fake) 3 Stooges and Scooby Doo...

Are you counting the big "shared universes" as crossovers? If so, I enjoy the Marvel ones, minus AoS. That show tries so hard be "connected," it's just kinda sad now, imo. But I like the way the Marvel movies built their universe for the most part, as well as the Marvel/Netflix ones.

The Buffyverse probably had most of my favorite crossover TV eps. Whenever a Buffy character made it over to Angel, they almost always transformed into a more awesome character.

And I will say one of my favorite episodes of Chuck is the Die Hard crossover ep.

A really random movie one I enjoyed was when they brought in Michael Keaton in Out of Sight, to play the same *****ey agent he played in Jackie Brown (since both were based on Elmore Leonard books). EDIT: dude beat me to it.

The Universal monsters are the grandaddies of them all for sure.

It is interesting that this is something that's always percolated in the culture. There were books that tried to knit together a lot of characters from literature like Tarzan and Lord Peter Whimsy in combined universe of sorts.

And of course there is the Tommy Whesphall universe theory.

on a serious note... sorry to hear about Ed's family.

certainly the next episode isn't all Crossovers? I guess AvP has to be thrown in... Flash/Arrow but not really.... not many crossovers are good. Freddy V Jason...

Breaks out of jail? I'm on episode 9

Well Scoob and the gang already met the Stooges.

Granted they also met the cast of Laugh-In and Sonny and Cher as well so...

 

[Reek]

Going to have to toss the NO flag on Marvel movies being crossover.

I know this... don't test my scoob.

.....

yea... don't.... uh...

THANKS OBAMA

 

[dude stannis]

Yeah, no way universes count, otherwise you'd just be talking comics.

Why not? Cap, Bats, Supes Wonder Woman are all classic literature

 

[flickchick85]

.. Flash/Arrow but not really....

I hated that episode so much. I haven't really cared for ANY of the CW/DC crossover eps, even on the shows I've liked (all two of them, lol).

I'm not sure I REALLY would count things like say, Buffy/Angel, the MCU or Cheers/Frasier since they are characters/shows that spring directly from one another. As was pointed out, the Hobbit/LotR isn't really crossing over.

Now when Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote meets Magnum P.I. that's a crossover in my mind. Same with the recent New Girl/Brooklyn 99 crossover.

Of course my rules are flimsy since I would for sure count Keaton as Ray Nicolette.

A strange sort of crossover I read about a couple days back is that there was a pre-J.J. Star Trek novel in which the writer follows up on the Gary 7 episode of TOS, which was a back door pilot for show that was to be titled ASSIGNMENT: EARTH. Gary 7 in the novel gets involved with the Eugenics Wars which of course is connected to Khan. Turns out the group that created Khan is intimated to be the the organization that was behind the Jarod character from the NBC show THE PRETENDER, as well as the human/lion hybrid that was played by Ron Perlman, Vincent, from the Linda Hamilton show BEAUTY AND THE BEAST from the late 80's. No... I'm not making any of that up.

Or, in my case, any of the shows bar Constantine (So of course that's the one that gets axed).

Of all the shows that came out around that time I still maintain that CONSTANTINE was the best on all levels, from casting, to writing to production values to over all vibe. Such a goddamned shame.
