Yeah, this was a movie that didn't need to "go big" in the climax, but it went into full-out slasher mode (SPOILER ALERTS), to everybody's dispair.

And no one's namechecked Used Cars yet? That movie is all kinds of fantastic.

I'd say I wholeheartedly love it. It definitely cracks my top 5 Dylan albums.

Wigwam is a nice instrumental (found its way into The Royal Tenenbaums). "Living the Blues" is terrific (later covered by Leon Redbone.) And the cover of the Everly's "Take a Letter to Marie" blows the original out of the water.

Hey, you're the boss. I'd personally say that the fun of watching Samm squirm is outweighed by the frustration of not seeing everybody play, but I definitely see where you're coming from. Thanks for the response!

Honestly, I would listen the hell out of a "serious" Leonard Maltin Game podcast, done with a Jeopardy-like sense of detachment.

Hmm. That's very interesting.

Well, there are occasional belly laughs. It's not AGAINST comedy. But you have to admit that that's not what they're trying for: they say so themselves right at the beginning of the show.

Ah, no kidding.

I came into that episode not really getting Amy Schumer, but she totally won me over. She's quick.

Also, Podmass has yet to discuss Topics with Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter yet, right?

I've recently started listening to it, and I'll vouch that it's more consistently great than most of the podcasts that are currently covered.

The new Analyze Phish was tremendous. Harris and Scott took callers, all hardcore Phish fans, reminiscent of all the folks they encountered at MSG.

Just recently started listening to Doug Loves Movies, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
BUT: the problems with people getting boxed out for four-person Leonard Maltin Games is a very real phenomenon, and it's frustrating to witness. Especially because it could be fixed with a small rule change.
Let's say there are four…

Maybe it's just me, but for me, my favorite Louis Armstrong era is early.

I got a post eaten earlier this afternoon, I guess.

It does away with a few of the key parts of the book (the prologue, the tone of the narration, it doesn't end in Dresden), but it seems an awful lot like the best Slaughterhouse Five adaptation possible. It does complete justice to the book.

"Typical G.O.O. production values" doesn't seem fair at all— this is shot on film (in a really subdued, Eastmancolor-esque palette), which adds to the texture of the video.
