No argument there

Plans holds a special place in my heart as I listened to it over and over (along with Kanye's Late Registration) in my car on the drive from Mississippi to Birmingham while evacuating due to Hurricane Katrina. Definitely my sentimental favorite, whether it's the best or not is secondary.

True, but Dazed and Confused is set a few years after US involvement in Vietnam had ended and the all-volunteer military had been instated. Their biggest fear wasn't turning 18 and going to war, it was to sign something that won't let them smoke drugs. Priorities had shifted back, or to something arguably even more…

Agree, Penguin. I wrote something similar below. I think there's a knee-jerk reaction to nostalgia, particularly boomer nostalgia—so much so that we usually wouldn't stop to think that there may be an actual good reason for thinking about the not-so-old days besides just "hey, weren't the early '60s great?" I think…

I don't think it's Lucas not leaving well-enough alone, rather, I think he's trying to show (arguably overly dramatically) how much changed in the 11 or so years between when the film takes place and when it was made. I think the short amount of time that had passed makes it even more interesting how completely…

The Game and Panic Room are both great genre exercises, but they don't really show what Fincher can do, in my opinion. Still, nothing wrong with a great filmmaker doing something fun every once in a while.

Senator - I was about to challenge you, and then I looked up his filmography and realized you were talking about Benjamin Button being shitty. I completely forgot that movie ever happened. That was a weird 5 minutes when Fincher decided to try and be Robert Zemeckis. Hope he's over that now.

*Maybe a small percentage of the listeners listen for the inside jokes…

I mock out of frustration, not hate. I dug the podcast for the first year or so it was on. I actually think the guys would be better served heeding the criticism rather than railing against it. The critiques that keep coming back on here week after week are the same ones: the guys aren't as funny as they think they…

Yeah, Comcast once cut off our internet because some girl was moving into an apartment and mistakenly gave them our apartment number. So…they didn't call us or anything, they just cut us off. So we went weeks without internet, calling them and trying to figure out the problem and FINALLY someone figured out it had…

Comcast, excuse me, XFINITY isn't much better. Actually, they're pretty fucking terrible. There's basically no competition, so they can be as shitty as they want. One time I got a very knowledgeable and professional cable guy who had to completely redo my internet set up that the original guys had badly fucked up.…

Let me put it this way: if Lisa Lampinelli told you to stop making fun of fat people, would you take her seriously?

I find it distressing that people are questioning Zach's comedic genius. Watch his Live from the Purple Onion DVD and the Comedians of Comedy. Watch some of the Late World with Zach clips (and marvel at him actually being a good looking guy minus the beard and forty lbs). The guy is great and highly original in his…

As good a time as any I guess…
This isn't easy to say, but…I am January Jones's baby daddy. Please respect my privacy.

I think Carolla deserves some credit in that a lot of his views are couched in his own experiences. That is to say, he's not just regurgitating conservative talking points, even if they sometimes line up with conservative talking points. He's an independent thinker, not some guy living in an echo chamber. I think he'd…

I think her "don't say gay!" PSAs really turned me off to her. Not cause she was wrong to do them or the message was wrong or anything, but because she's a pretty un-PC comedian who can get downright nasty, and it seemed disingenuous for her to be like, "I say all this, but you better not say that, cause then you're…

Not insufferable by any stretch for me, but Shandling was a tad disappointing, as are most people who get saddled with the genius label.

Can't believe I called him Sanders. SHANDLING, obviously.
