ah, Susanna Hoffs…if you'd just return my calls, I'd gladly drop the tall one from Bananarama like a hot potato

I had their album, I'm not ashamed. I had a crush on the tall one.

Well to be fair at the time our world leaders were actively trying to avoid it

Let's just say there was a glut of really talentless bands that were getting lucrative record deals in the hopes that they would be the next Nirvana

this couldn't possibly be more wrong…the 80s were when pop music stopped being an all-white snoozefest and got good. Thriller is and always will be the best-selling album of all time; Prince had his golden age with Purple Rain, Sign o the Times, and many more; the Eagles broke up…everything was excellent. Everything

I was going to say 'it's just a sitcom tho', but then I thought of The Good Place…well, they can't all be The Good Place, I guess

and Werner Herzog would listen to the audio and help our mothers cope

Dr. Druid was kind of a bargain-basement Dr. Strange (or really a Dr. Strange prototype, having appeared earlier as 'Dr. Droom' and with a very similar origin story).
He had the bad luck to be added to the Avengers just at the tail end of Roger Stern's good run in the late-80s. In Stern's issues, Dr. Druid was kind of

I used to love that game! That's the one where you chase Mr. X around in cabs and stuff, right?

that's not when people were wearing the shirts

Punisher shirt?! But that represents…the 90s! ::pukes::

I like the way you think

You know what bugs me about Last Crusade, and maybe I'm nitpicking, but it seems to me that by making the sought-after relic the Holy Grail, they lose the irony in the first movie of Nazis being killed by the Old Testament god. Now it's a Christian world? And also with some weird pagan stuff? And apparently aliens?

Aw you restricted me to the last 15 years so I couldn't say MC Hammer

Well, that's not really juicing, though. I mean, you could just eat the fruit and vegetable whole, too, and save a lot of money on appliances

Yup. You could buy a Breville for two or three hundred bucks, which actually turns whole fruits and vegetables into juice, or you could spend more money for this thing, which requires proprietary pre-processed fruits and vegetables at additional cost. Somehow they made the juicing process more expensive and less

Not to mention it's common knowledge that weed is a lot stronger than it was in the 70s, due to the proliferation of horticulture-nerd stoners

I haven't seen it since it was in theaters but in my memory it's Ben Affleck who suggests the threesome, and at the time I wasn't convinced that Banky was even romantically interested in him, although that was the conclusion they came to for some reason

this is why, when I ask for affirmative consent, I always followed it up with "are you sure?"

Well, that's a whole other problem I had with the movie…you had this really likable protagonist, but then halfway through the movie he absolutely loses his mind, and by the end he's suggesting threesomes that nobody wants to be part of.
