Howdy folks. The DreamCasts are re-opening for business. We're starting with what it is, without a doubt, our most popular DreamCast ever: the Terry Gilliam-directed adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's classic "What if Monty Python did The Omen?" novel, Good Omens.

Now, we're doing this a bit differently. We were sitting around Needcoffee HQ, and I was snorting ground espresso beans, when it struck me what we've been doing wrong this entire time. That's right...it's a DreamCast for Buddha's sake! Go ahead and dream like maniacs!

So now every updated DreamCast will be two--two--two DreamCasts in one. You get the cast we would advocate if the project were to be shot today. Then you get the cast we would have on hand if we could go to any time period and, like some kind of casting version of The Monitor from Crisis on Infinite Earths, pluck any actor at any point in the timestream.

We've gone apeshit, in other words.

So here's the cast. Sadly, because comment spam bastards circle this site looking for chinks in our armor, we can't open up comments. Because if we did, the site would blow up. Instead, we'll have to direct you to the Gabfest if you want to give feedback. Or widge sucks at need coffee dot com.

So, as always, if you haven't read the original novel, click over to Amazon and buy it. You'll be glad you did.
