I say give Pharoah two seasons for him to grow into it, and for the writers to find something for him to do that isn't impressions. At least he's getting airtime, which is better than any of the featured players last year. Actually, this year's group of featured players is actually pretty impressive. I particularly…

I dunno how he is anymore, but Corgan had a rep for fighting people in the audience when the Pumpkins first started out. And then there was the glorious time when he kicked Kelly Osbourne's boyfriend (bert something? the lead singer of some awful band) in the stomach. Given that he's like 6' something, I'm guessing…

Why do you say that? In the most current season he went to India, Liberia, Vietnam, China, Dubai, and Panama. Given, there were a lot in France and Italy, and a couple in NY/Maine, but he doesn't seem to be slacking off that much.

My guess is that if they had put Bourdain on the show, he would have actually gone and supplied the voice. I think he hates the Food Network as much as, if not more than the SP guys.

I had to look it up. I originally thought it was "Hot dog/jumping far/have a cookie." He does say "Albuquerque" pretty clearly on the record, apparently, but it's only in the background in Spaced, and Jessica Stevenson is singing over it.

I always cringe when I see Fraser in movies like that, because he really is so much better than the material he's given. But I guess he has a pretty solid career built around it, so hey, who am I to criticize?

Yah
I have only ever heard "King of Rock and Roll" as played on "Spaced," and had no fucking idea what they were saying.

I'm betting that, sales of albums notwithstand, Albarn still gets a steady check for "Song 2" royalties. That thing gets played at events and movie trailers all the time.

Wow, I can't believe you got Hollow Men in there. It almost makes me miss my vag badger.

History of Nearly Everything is the only book I've read by him, and I love it. I lend it out to everyone I know, because if you're not a science person, it will make you a science person, and if you are a science person, you'll appreciate all the little drama that has gone on in the scientific world for centuries.

The Freddy Kruger subplot was hilarious. I didn't see it coming at all, but it was a perfect touch.

AVClub, you're treading on my dreams
I actually quite liked this movie, and think it more deservedly belongs in the New Cult Canon vs CTOTD. Low budget, virtually ignored in theaters, no advertising, one of Christian Bale's first action movies, wonderful choreography, etc. Yeah, the story's one that's been done a…

I properly enjoyed Mirrormask. Much better than a movie in the spirit of Labyrinth should be, without actually being Labyrinth.

Is it really a cult movie, though? Didn't it do gangbusters in the theaters and get nominated for a best song oscar?

It's already better than "Secret Girlfriend," so there's that.

Misdiagnosis
Why were Taub and Forman being so hard on the chick for being wrong in her diagnosis. How often are they right? Virtually never.

Actually, the milk in the breast tissue tumor in the knee is actually more plausible than this week's episode. Risperdal does actually cause lactation in some people, though a syringe full is a bit silly. But that I can wave off in the spirit of drama.

Louie even used "pussy" in a straight-up sexual reference. I've never seen that on basic cable other than South Park.

It would have to be moistened, and it would take a LOOOOONG time. It would be anesthetic long before it would intoxicate you, so your butt would be pretty damn numb.

Keep in mind that they did do a similar sort of sketch with Obama, twice, when they did The Rock Obama, which I thought was pretty frickin' funny.
