If you were a true Simpsons fan you would have said, "It's the same exact joke. What gives, Leo?"

Yeah, he hasn't been relevant since he stopped singing Peace Train.

A not-so-fun fact is that Beetle Bailey started out as a college student, then he enlisted or got drafted or whatever and they moved the strip setting to the army.

"You ruined Peanuts, Rerun"

I'm sure Morris the cat was an influence on Jim Davis, but I'd also bet he was more than a little bit influenced by Kliban's cats. Especially if you check out how Garfield looked in the first strips.

As much as people accuse Cera of playing the same character in every movie (who is basically just Michael Cera), he's Peter Sellers compared to Bateman.

You're right, of course, but it's mostly the word "flopped" that I call bullshit on. If they never had the Family Guy reruns, there's no reason to think Adult Swim couldn't have chugged along just fine with it's own surreal/stoner fare. "Flopped" implies, unless I'm reading it wrong, that Adult Swim was teetering on…

Yeah but… If this were 1997 all of us internet commenters would've been making  snarky comments about how stupid WB was for their upcoming Buffy the Vampire series. Who'd have though a kind of stupid, barely successful 5 year old horror-comedy movie starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry could have spawned one of the…

That's kind of bullshit anyway. Family Guy was a hit on Adult Swim, but Cartoon Network was having success with Space Ghost and similar shows in the late night time slot before the Adult Swim moniker was even created. You could just as easily state that Adult Swim saved Family Guy, since those reruns and DVD sales are…

I think the biggest problem with the show is that being poor in the UK just isn't the same as being poor in the US. This is purely perception of course but I think there's a certain dignity to being poor in UK culture, probably because of centuries of the class system with little chance of mobility. I don't think…

I am 100% convinced The King's Speech exists purely as Oscar bait. I got no sense that the writers or directors had any passion for this film at all beyond seeing an opportunity to grab some prestige. And, while everything from the art direction to the performances are more than competent, they all feel like they're…

20 years ago it played in US art cinemas and was most likely the only non-Speed Racer, non-Voltron anime most Americans had seen. Or had the opportunity to see, for that matter. We're talking pre-internet, pre-DVD here of course.

I think if The Police disappeared after Ghost in the Machine they'd be legendary and beloved by all, but the combination of Synchronicity being way too overplayed and, more importantly, Sting's solo career on Lite FM have really poisoned their legacy.

I heard they're making a movie that takes place entirely in vents.

Equillibrium, dood! GUN FUCKING FU.

Soylent Green would be taken a lot more seriously if they just had a nice, simple "What the FUCK?" or something instead of the clumsy "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"

I know it's best to just politely nod at such things, but isn't it a little odd to have the English roommates and the Irish cop in a movie set in Milwaukee?

Whenever my male friends return to the place from which we all originate (and where I currently reside) I have an uncanny urge to hear at least one of their songs.

I think he absolutely nailed it in SHH with Jonah, who was a
character that really rang true but who I don't feel like I've ever seen
before. He was just about as sympathetic as they come but you could
also see what a terror he would be if you had to deal with him in real
life.

MBMBaM is fantastic. The three of them with their weird accents and super-sharp sense of humor makes for probably the most consistently funny podcast available.
