But I click on, maybe, every fifth Newswire and this was one of them. It's in the top twenty percent!

We started watching Gremlins in 4th grade but they turned it off when they realized it was about monsters. I remember mentioning in class that it inspired the PG-13 rating and the teacher being confused because the box said PG.

Nerdist always tricks me into listening to it with their great guests and it's always been mediocre. It's so bizarre that Podmass likes it so much. But then it's also bizarre that it thinks those Greg Proops quotes are interesting or that the quality of the overheards meant much for the quality of Stop Podcasting

Great Jorb, Internet!

Polling in my home suggests that people aren't watching Agents Of C.H.O.M.P.S. because the kids aren't in bed yet and women aged older than they look aren't interested.

I was always on Walt's side. If only because he chose to be a meth producer at the very beginning of the series. There's no additional evil involved in letting Jane choke or poising a kid. Plus I recognize the separation between reality and make believe. I can root for King Kong when he's killing hundreds of people

So many pages before I found a Noah Segan shout out! I hope this means he's Rian Johnson's muse. If only because I love Cabin Fever 2.

Looking at pictures of Nina Simone made me think Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes on Orange is the New Black) would have been a good choice.

This episode is the source of my Freaks and Geeks and Peaks theory that Freaks and Geeks takes place in the same universe as Twin Peaks. The connection is the movie The Hidden. Claudia Christian plays a stripper in that movie and in this episode she alludes to her past as one. Also in The Hidden, Kyle MacLachlan plays

First person I thought of was Ryan O'Reily (Dean Winters) on Oz. I didn't watch the show to the end. Maybe he did die. But for awhile he seemed indestructible, playing one side against the other, in bed with everybody - just fabulous stuff.

Pieces is amazing. I'd add Deadly Spawn, Duel to the Death, The Return of Captain Invincible and The Boxer's Omen.

Treasure of the Four Crowns is the things-flying-at-youest 3-D movie ever made.

You remind me of the people that just went to see Rifftrax's Starship Troopers who had never seen the the movie before. They mostly said, "Boy, that WAS a terrible movie". It's a great movie but if your experience of it primarily comes from people making fun of it you're going to see all the flaws and forget what's

I would have loved to see a spin-off show with the mathletes. In an alternate universe where Freak and Greeks was successful.

John Francis Daley is/was a dancer in real life. I remember in the commentary they said Daley asked, cocky-like, how much he should hold back since Sam presumably has no formal dance training.

Plinko is so terrible. I don't know why people like it. The "chance" to win $50,000? You're not going to win $50,000. Even if you got the discs for free there next to no chance. But you have to WIN the discs? I'm reversing 100 spays and neuters just because I'm choking on my own rage here.

Not only is it the best Kirk moment, it made me realize how great "White Lines" is. And it made me appreciate that scene in Shaun of the Dead more.

He's talking about the Tremors TV show. And, yes, he's the only one who misses it.

Richall (Rich-awl): to recall what Sniglets are.

It's mentioned on #500 but my favorite is part of "203: Recordings for Someone" about the greatest phone mail message in the world. One not mentioned was Elna Bakers' story about adopting dolls out of FAO Schwarz. Nubbins!
