Yeah, it works without Pepitone, but this episode was still the best they've done for ages. They're always better with a guest, and having a guest like Bobcat Goldthwait on the same week as Eddie returned was just icing on the cake.

"Oi! Put your knickers on and make me a cup of tea!"

I think he's always better away from LA, where he hasn't been since the heckler episode - it seems like he's doing a more focussed show, rather than strange ramblings.

@OldeFortran77:disqus It's about 900 of your funny S things.

Run For Your Wife, was a big hit farce/sex comedy in the London West End in the 80s, and is now an awful film starring the utterly awful Danny Dyer. It's just made £682 in it's opening weekend. Hurrah!

Similarly, every actor that's come from Scotland has played a body in Taggart.

I thought it was OK…and certainly worth it to hear Sajdak's Larry The Cable Guy impression ("KEWWWWWLLLLL!") has become a thing. And Chris Cabin's rage at having seen three (three!) Kevin James movies.

I think trying to do stuff with the monstrous sprawl that is the current overarching lore of the game would be a huge mistake - it's hugely derivative, and repetitive (just how many times will the greatest heroes become corrupted into arch-villains). It could work if they did something with the stories of the earlier…

Or indeed, Geneva, who had the tunes and the singer that would've made them brilliant in the Travis/Coldplay market, but were marketed in the post-Oasis/Blur Britpop bands, and didn't stand a chance. If they'd only come to prominence a couple of years later…

Jefferies had been knocking about the Edinburgh Festival for years, with his shows getting increasingly offensive, being pushed later and later into the night, until his only rival for crowds was Jerry Sadowitz….

Well, FX has just become "Fox" in the UK, and is proudly boasting the premiere of Louie. So, Legit'll be on in 4 or 5 years?

"So I turned up at Hell unannounced (frightful, I know, but a man of my stature, etc, etc…), and it turns out, they've had a reservation for me for some time!"

The movie was Steven Seagal's On Deadly Ground, featuring WHM favourite Michael Caine.

He's really great. There doesn't seem to be another show like it…It's very indulgent, it's very edgy, and it's very funny.

HEY! AVCLUB! WHERE'S THE *beep*ING BUGLE, YOU *BEEP* *BEEEEEEEEP?

It's one of the few times I've seen a movie that WHM covers. It's truly, truly terrible. The impression I had was that John Cusack looked like a man who'd signed up and got incredibly into playing Poe…and then he got the script.

Indeed. Even the marketing and poster campaigns seem to be specifically targeted at my mother.

Got to love the M. Banks. Despite the brick-like qualities of his sci-fi, and some of the literary horrors he's inflicted in the non-"M" stuff (especially the sex), I love his stuff more than any other sci-fi writer going. It manages to be light and breezy, he doesn't write himself into corners with monstrous worlds…

I find it bizarre that US sci-fi/fantasy all have this same generic "bad RPG sourcebook" style to them - do they all come from the same publisher, they even use the same/similar fonts a lot of the time? It's funny to compare/contrast the UK covers with their US counterparts. If you want a good example, have a look at…
