Beer 🍺 and [Movie] Heaven Can Wait 👼 Sunday, May 25, 14:00 - 16:00 BS TV Tokyo
It will be broadcast on TV in the middle of the day this coming Sunday.
It's an old movie and has been shown on TV many times, so many of you may have already seen it.
Despite that, I just learned now that the original title is "Heaven Can Wait" lol
Watching in real-time on TV these days, where you can't pause or rewind, is a bit tedious, but it's perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon spent drinking beer.
For those who say "Dubbed movies are out of the question!", this might not apply, but another highlight is that the late, great actor Nachi Nozawa did the dubbing.
👇 Summaries and such are down below.
