So disappointed…
I rented this movie through Netflix and a cracked disc nearly saved me from half of its running time. I went in with low expectations, but the Dobbs stuff was no better than the white trash jokes you'd find in something like Joe Dirt. You know you're in trouble when you start asking yourself "Is this

I really want to like this season…
…and I think that Superjail is one of the best-looking animated TV shows of all time, but Titmouse obvious can't keep up with the overtime Augenblick Studios was pulling way back in season one, and the show really suffers for it. Even the violence has changed from genuinely shocking

Agreed. Siding completely with Dexter has turned the show into a creepy pro-death penalty/vigilante justice soap opera. But it was only ever good in its first season.

No Grandma's Virginity, No Peace
Cover this podcast already you big so and so's!

I totally agree, but I think The A.V. Club is waaay too harsh and snobbish about WKUK as a whole—I'm mainly talking about the commenters, since I don't think the site itself has covered the show until now. Miss March (though not a WKUK movie) is abysmal, and they have some lousy sketches, but they've still put out an

Falling Down…
… Should be the Tea Party's official movie. And it's incredibly cynical that they try to lessen the racism by having the main character beat up an honest-to-God Nazi. I'm sure every pudgy Midwestern lout raised a fist in solidarity when Michael Douglas complains about burger size and shoots up a

Yeah, the "charity joke" Rabin talks about is actually from next season's "Homer the Heretic." No hints to Krusty's faith were dropped before this episode.

I read a few of Sarah's books and really got kind of sick of her painting herself as this quirky girl just trying to make it in this mean ol' world. Self-depreciating humor can be good if it's dark and inspired, but her constant attempts at it desperately try to paint her as this awkwardly heartwarming character. It's

The Grandma's Virginity Podcast!
This week's episode had a fantastic interview with Tom Gammill and Max Pross, who wrote for SNL, Letterman, Garry Shandling, The Simpsons, Futurama, Seinfeld, and more. If the GVP doesn't make next week's Podmass, you guys are officially butts.

More Dino…
If you want to hear more messed-up stories from Dino, he's actually much more forthcoming about his sex life on episode 24 of The Grandma's Virginity Podcast. SPOILER: You get to hear the circumstances involving him ejaculating in an old man's mouth for money!

Ellen
…was the rich man's Clarissa.

Ben + Dr. Katz
Best father-son relationship on TV.

Beach Blast
James Quall!?

Spoken like a man with a Sephiroth avatar.

Beyond nerdy, but…
I hope Leonard goes into a little detail about the different overseas studios that worked on this series; TMS (who animated the iconic opening) had some of the most breathtaking animation ever seen on television, with Wang coming (yes, "Wang coming") in at a close second. There's no way in hell any

Pocket sand!
I had an impeccable Dale Gribble costume last Halloween (even bought the hat directly from Mack) and only one drunk guy in a bar kinda-sorta knew who I was. Needless to say I haven't left the house since then.

I think Eddie Murphy got rich and famous way too early to gain and/or retain any real perspective about the world. Just think of how much of a shithead you were when you were 20.

Things can get pretty tragic once the facade is stripped away. Even lovable Dana Carvey became an exaggerated Robin Williams clone after the 90s. Actually, he might have been one before this.

Jay Mohr
Has any man, woman, or child ever been legitimately entertained by this man? I actually read his book to gain some insight into the worst years of SNL, and walked away hating him more than I did before.

I would agree, but The Ben Stiller show is about 75% celebrity impression-based sketches, with only a brief glimpse of the genius that would be later seen on Mr. Show (and the first year of Conan). Still, it's weird to think that Ben was palling around with alternative comics shortly before ditching any semblance of
