Morning.
Did you catch The Real Full Monty last evening? Anthony Anderson did this as a fundraiser and awareness campaign for Prostate, testicular, and Colorectal cancer research and encourage early detection screenings. He, Tyler Posey, James Van der Beek, Taye Diggs, Chris jones, and Bruno Tonioni did the strip number from the Film / Stage version, choreographed by Mandy Moore. And, yes, they bared it all --- though the cameras were panned out so far nothing is seen (it is broadcast TV, after all).

Each of them talked about how cancer has touched their lives; van der Beek revealed his recent bout with colon cancer. Replaced by Posey, Dwight Howard backed out after three rehearsals. The through line really was pushed to the forefront: Men need to stop being embarrassed by the dangly bits.
Even when the bit isn't dangling.
Especially when talking to your doctor.

Im sorry I didn't catch that! I very seldom have tv on...and when I do it's usually BBC or PBS. TMC.
Absolutely.
Oh, THIS is the kind of motivation and PSA that we need (and crave!).
Tyler Posey is all grown up!!!
XOXO
In Canada, so did not see it, however, full monty is always the way to go and such a good cause. Appreciate the eye candy.
I didn't see it. In my family my grandpa talked about prostate cancer when he got the diagnosis some years ago. He was brave
“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked!” Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.”
That’s the message they want everyone to get. They have promoted the show the last couple of weeks. Hugs and bisous.
It was only released on 9 December 2024, but I don't know to which platform.
However, it kind of flubs the message about not being ashamed of the wedding tackle, because they are completely obscured to anyone not in the immediate audience (unless some outlets remove the censorship).
In my opinion, it is only women concerned about the wedding tackle being shown, which has resulted in men being ashamed. Usually men together aren't concerned about making a public fuss, even though they might privately compare.
One day the media will get over itself and accept the human body as is... tired of double standards and so-called moral issues - and the 'won't someone think of the children' crowd. There's nothing immoral about the human body. This society needs to get over itself. Just as the extremely wealthy need to realize with great power come great responsibility.
It's worth watching when it comes to streaming. Not for the dance number but everything else.
As Jean says, "Don't die of embarrassment - get checked."
Oh, yes, he is!
XOXO
Perhaps when it comes to a streaming service....
It's important to be able to talk about it.
I had forgotten about it. I was scrolling channels when it popped up and I'm so glad I got to see it.
Hugs and bisous.
You may have a point. Dwight dropped out on Day 3 of rehearsals after he told his girlfriend what he was doing. Her response was, "No. Don't do that. You can't do that!"
It was obscured to the TV audience because too many people in the U.S. still consider the human body to be offensive. Sad state of affairs, that.
