Your name's not William.  It's Willy!

I could peel you like a grape and God himself would call it justice!

Now that they're focusing on the Chesapeake Ripper ("maybe he's making sausage"), they seemed to be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the first scene of Red Dragon, where Will Graham puts it together that the Ripper is eating people.  I wonder how long they can stretch that out, before Graham becomes like Lois…

double dumbass on you!

"Ballad of Dwight Frye," "Hey Joe," and "Rockin' in the Free World."  Simplified versions.  Rookie mistake: trying to learn on a piece-of-shit acoustic guitar that's basically unplayable.

Kids, if you find a Supersuckers ticket on the floor, DON'T TOUCH IT!

I saw Deerhoof recently, not knowing a damn thing about them, except the kids seem to like them.  They were okay.  I still couldn't name one of their songs, or explain the difference between Deerhoof and Deerhunter.  I am not a pickpocket.  I'm just old.

The point wasn't (or shouldn't have been) that the US government is just like the Third Reich.  The point was that it's foolish to defend an institution (government, corporation), on the basis that without it, some people would lose their jobs, regardless of how much harm that institution does.  Obviously, we can…

There's nothing in this post to suggest that the author prefers the sort of movie you describe (a mythical sort of movie, I suspect, like the films about gay cowboys eating pudding that Cartman hates) over movies about dogs.

Spoiler: a train arrives at la Ciotat.

p.s.

First movie experience that I have vague, scattered memories of: The Moon-Spinners (Hayley Mills Disney movie: that's all I know).

If it's true that people avoid bowling scenes for some weird
subconscious reason, that's potentially quite interesting.  Somebody
should study that!  I'd like to know why that's the case, and if I were a
writer, it would make sense to use that knowledge to my advantage.   But this guy seems interested only in the…

how would you feel about a rock n roll bowling werewolf?

How is this science?  Unless they can identify a cause/effect relation between "presence of bowling scene" and "bad box office performance," the statistics are totally meaningless.

Lack of variety is kinda the central concept of mainstream radio.  The whole point is to stop you from changing the station, by playing stuff that's well inside your comfort zone.  To complain about it is sort of like complaining that McDonald's food tastes exactly the same, wherever you go.  Of course it does, it's…

Three artists whose mega-hits in the 80s are always on the radio (or Muzak), while their other (far superior) stuff is largely ignored:
— Tina Turner
— Bruce
— ZZ Top

Usually there's a detailed argument as to why a song is specifically terrible (e.g., Robyn Hitchcock vs. "Arthur's Theme").  Here, HOTRS becomes the whipping boy for the generic reason that it's an overplayed classic rock song.  "Overplayed" is not a reason why a song is bad.  Though it might be a reason why something…

Sometimes it's interesting observations about himself or the world…and sometimes it's just "let me tell you about the sandwich I ate yesterday."  I definitely like the former more than the latter, but either way, it's usually pretty amusing.  Honestly, I don't have time to listen to all the podcasts to find the best…

This week he's interviewing Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie…maybe the AV Club bought him.
