Yes, it's about a now-father-to-his-own-keeds Ralphie...

Yes, it's headed to HBOmax...

And yes, Randy, Scut, Flick and Schwartz will be in it too.

I'm a fan of Shepherd, but that movie was really catching lightning in a bottle, unless one is a fan of such one-offs as "My Summer Story," "The Phantom of the Open Hearth," or "Olliie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss."

Hollywood has never been able to say no a terrible idea, though, so greenlighting this one was a no-brainer, in more senses than one.
