What can you say about a sci-fi movie in which one of the peak moments of tension revolves around whether Ethan Hawke can cross a busy highway without his contact lenses?

As much as I like the guy, I find that a lot of Soderbergh's movies don't stand up to repeat viewing. Once you get your bearings on the twisty structures and editing, the holes really stand out (Traffic, Contagion, Side Effects, and The Informant!)

I think it's bad when people hate something just because they don't like it.

Whoa! Never knew Pancho grew up to be the freakily Friedkin-esque judge in "To Live & Die."

How about VanDerWerff's podcast?

Am I the only one here old enough to remember that kid had a report due? On space??? 

I mentioned that yesterday, too, and yet over 24 hours later it still remains uncorrected.

I only forget incest and deadly police shootings.

I'm pretty sure Bill Hader's story on WTF was about Martin Kove, not Billy Zabka.

"Wilder Napalm" definitely has issues, but it's so interesting and somewhat ahead of its time that I don't think adoration is necessarily "inexplicable."

He was particularly good in The Royal Tenenbaums.

I was just kidding — in the very first episode of the Nerdist, Chris Hardwick told a story about trying to interview Yorke in the 90s and before they even got started Hardwick said Yorke told him, "This interview is over." Which I've always found hilarious.

I kept waiting for him to say, "This interview is o-vah."

Well, since you asked, when it's revealed during your conversation about how Rufio waits tables that he may also now do voicework for The Last Airbender animated series:

If there's nothing wrong with being a waiter, Matt, why did you bring it
up in the first place?

I'll send you $5 a month if you won't stand by the forced laughing. Five dollars. Cash money. Think about it.

1. He claimed the guy had a day job as a waiter, tried unsuccessfully to mine that observation for comedy, then said he might've been wrong about it being Rufio at all because he was drunk when he saw him.

Word, Murray.

I agree with the first part but have too much self-esteem to go along with the second.
