Great googily moogily…

PI-VAT. PI-VAT.

"The dishes are DONE, man!"

Michael Richards has talked about the pratfalls he did as Kramer, and he mentioned that rewatching the classics showed him the key to pratfalling.

That's why she drinks a glass of wine every day. She knows you're supposed to drink a glass and a half, but she just can't drink that much.

The most iconic police sketch of all-time…and the least helpful police sketch of all-time. Vivid enough to be seared into your brain but without any distinguishing features visible. That could have been Weird Al or Johnny Depp in that hoodie and sunglasses.

The Simpsons (second half of Season 7, first half of Season 8). The end of the greatest run that any show has ever had. 100+ episodes of genius in a row.

TECHNICALLY, while Bothans did bring them info about the second Death Star, what "Manny Bothans" died for was bringing them a specific piece of intelligence — that the Emperor was personally overseeing the completion of the second Death Star (and therefore would be onboard during the attack).

Mostly previously glimpsed scenes. Almost no new story info. A bunch of moments and images we've seen in stills, the making of featurette, and whatnot. No Mads Mikkelsen. No new musical themes.

Not a ton of new stuff in there (Star Wars can get away with that), but the look and tone are spot on. They said it's a war film in the Star Wars universe and that's what it feels like.

Addams Family Values was better.

That's right, I did the Izzy.

I thought the banner photo was going to be Steve Buscemi in Ghost World (aka me in a few years).

The first Mission: Impossible is still my favorite.

1) Damn it's good to have Sean back.
2) He said "candy asses." Plural. So there must be more than one.

Curious George, Curious George
Why you gotta be so curious, George?
Eating bananas, swinging from trees
Sure hope this monkey don't carry disease…

This is why I've always said that mainstream music was indeed better "back then" than it is now. Music in general? No. There's always great stuff around somewhere. But the '90s were the last gasp of Top 40 radio.

The very concept of Jack Frost terrified me as a kid. And now again as an adult. Hieronymus Bosch couldn't think of a more horrifying image of damnation than that dead dad snowman.

Mrs. Doubtfire. He learns to stop being his kids' best friend and enabler and be more of a disciplinarian and responsible adult, including holding down a job. Not only that, but he gets to make a joke about "Rumpleforeskin."

A place. A sanctuary. A home away from home. Or at least…next to home. On today's show: three stories about treehouses, both literal and figurative.
