Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga got their big breaks in ROAR, a sexy teen riff on BRAVEHEART and HERCULES, about a gang of hot young Celts who do battle with an immortal Roman to save Ireland from oppression. Along the way they rescue banshees, kiss fire maidens, rescue Jesus Christ's personal correspondence and throw spears into heaven... for reasons.

ROAR failed to take off on the Fox Network, but was it possibly... CANCELED TOO SOON? Join film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold as they solve the mystery, walk you through every weird episode of ROAR, and wonder what possible reason the hair department and makeup department could possibly have had to do what they did to Vera Farmiga's bangs.

It's an all-new CANCELED TOO SOON Christmas special, and we're celebrating the history of the televised yule log with a free, downloadable commentary track for FIREPLACE FOR YOUR HOME: BIRCHWOOD EDITION (aka FIREPLACE 4K: CRACKLING BIRCHWOOD), currently available on Netflix.

It sounds silly, but don't take video fireplaces for granted. They have an interesting history, and we're going to explore the genesis of the televised yule log in this very special episode of CANCELED TOO SOON. Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold also delve into their own treasure trove of Christmas memories to bring you the coziest episode of the CANCELED TOO SOON podcast ever.

So synch up FIREPLACE FOR YOUR HOME: BIRCHWOOD EDITION on Netflix, or substitute the yule log of your choice, or just listen in while we talking about televised crackling fireplaces, and have a very happy holiday!

Most people know that Sanda Bullock and Nicole Kidman co-starred in PRACTICAL MAGIC, a very surreal supernatural comedy about a family of witches who run afoul of deadly curses, ghostly ex-boyfriends and multiple generations of prejudice.

What most people DON'T know is that PRACTICAL MAGIC spawned a failed tv pilot in 2004 called SUDBURY, starring Jeri Ryan from STAR TREK: VOYAGER, Kim Delaney from NYPD BLUE, and Kat Dennings from TWO BROKE GIRLS.

The PRACTICAL MAGIC television series never actually aired, but still we ask... was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold track down this obscure chapter in tv history to figure out what the film did better than the show, what the show did better than the film, and just how weird PRACTICAL MAGIC was in the first place.

FISHING WITH JOHN was one of the weirdest talk shows, fishing shows, reality tv shows or shows of any other kind. The series followed composer John Lurie as he invited celebrity guests Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Matt Dillon, Willem Dafoe and Dennis Hopper to exotic locales, where they went fishing. Badly.

That's it. That's the whole series. FISHING WITH JOHN was either a merciless satire of television, a serious meditation on the smaller moments in life, or the mellow predecessor of manic Adult Swim absurdism (or all three).

But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold analyze a series that practically refuses to be analyzed in the latest episode of the podcast.

The late, great David Cassidy was a tv star, a pop star, a teen heartthrob and - for one short season - a hard-boiled undercover cop infiltrating drug dealers, gun runners, baby smugglers and high-octane grocery store thieves. You know, like you do.

But let's be honest here... was the pop culture curio DAVID CASSIDY: MAN UNDERCOVER canceled too soon? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into every episode and discover that this seemingly absurd TV series was 21 JUMP STREET a decade before 21 JUMP STREET, and POINT BREAK a decade-and-a-half before POINT BREAK, and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS over two decades before THE FAST AND FURIOUS.

Yes, really.
