haha gee i wonder why this spam account was deleted, with witty repartee such as that described

Disney was one of the only big American studio heads who weren't Jewish, his company had something of a reputation for anti-Semitism, and he was the only person who gave Leni Reifenstahl the time of day when she came to the US in the late 30s- it actually seems pretty reasonable.

Season 2= Mookie Blaylock

Isn't that from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or something?

There's a dry cleaning place or something near where I live called Mirkin's Cleaners and I laugh every goddamn time I see it or one of their trucks

Were you also disappointed when Nicholson didn't say "I deride your truth-handling abilities!" in A Few Good Men?

The Scary Door bits from Futurama were based on the idea that the Twilight Zone would be the best show ever if every episode were 30 seconds long. It's not always true, but…

There's a Larry Niven story that riffs on this, where people are given a lifetime of ease and privilege in exchange for a swab of their DNA- and then they find out that the DNA is used to create human meat for a food bank in a world where humans are a delicacy.

There's a resonance with John Bircher fear of the UN One World Government thing in To Serve Man, too- like, the whole thing seems to work on the assumption that of COURSE anyone trying to make a radical change in the level of human suffering is secretly evil

The Comedy Bang Bang Anniversary is a goddamned classic- though I admit that part of me kept wanting Tompkins to turn into Andrew Lloyd Webber again. I also was expecting Mantzoukas to be playing Gutterballs. Still, it's one of those shows I wish was like six hours long.

What does it say when the best shows on NBC survive primarily due to 'eh, we've to air something'

I don't want to know what the Cavity Creeps were up to now

haha, yeah, that reviewer sure does deserve to get murdered horribly. what fun we have here.

all of your friends are assholes.

Simple Sister, Conquistador, and Grand Hotel are all fun ones

i watch video via digitial project on a regular basis?

I actually looked her up prior to the episode, and I think she's a funny person on Twitter/working comic (and also, she unironically likes the Twilight movies.) I kind of like when they have someone I'm not familiar with on there, it never seems to hurt the flow of the show

Honestly, if you're talking about a podcast guest, you can probably just put ____ and people can assume it's PFT

I wish I could hear from him more, Benny B is very much a CBB-style character that could go on forever

Next! They said so at the end of this last one.
