    I haven't listened to the Old School Wrestling Podcast, but I'd highly recommend OSWReview. It's a video podcast that originally focused on the Hulkamania era of WWF/WWE…then expanded to other wrestling topics. I wish they would have kept going through the New Generation era and beyond, but their most recent episode,

    I like Tony, but sometimes his personal stories (and some of his opinions) drive me insane. His recent rantings about getting a smartphone and not knowing how to use it just made me want to smack him and other older people who give up without even trying concerning how to use new technology. It's terrible radio.

    If this was an ultra-realistic option within the game, I'm okay with this. (There should be an option to disable it though. Zero-tolerance is a tad ridiculous for casual gameplay.)

    It was MST:TM. I randomly rented it and thought it was hilarious. (It's now just a middling, long-form version of an episode now.) I then stumbled upon several episodes on Sci-Fi and well…Hobgoblins sealed my fate as a fan forever.

    The Punk WTF as a "Rest"? Yeah, no.

    I imagine "I Accuse My Parents" will make it if they have the rights, as Joel's mentioned that's a favorite episode of his. It's also a really, really good newbie episode. There's a good short (The Truck Farmer) and the movie is hopelessly dumb. And I suppose you can stare at Mary Beth Hughes for much of the movie.

    And beyond that, add Future War just so Robert Z'Dar (also in Soultaker as Estevez's supervisor) gets two movies.

    New England journalist?

    You forgot "Canadian Villain Garth Vader", all the masked thugs allegedly being pro wrestlers, the video poker soundtrack and also the villain's hilarious death at the end. It's a death that almost sort of doesn't make sense!

    Web design like this makes me wonder if, even in my early 30s, I've become an old man. This, along with other tile-based redesigns similar to the awful Metro style, isn't necessary at all. Giant photos for no reason, white space everywhere in an attempt to be "classy" and…just about everything else mentioned below.

    I really don't see the need for a Super Bowl halftime show. It's always awful, as the event is never an ideal place for a concert, the talent booking always leads to collabs of epic, disastrous levels and the fans in attendance often DO NOT CARE.

    I've always considered Super Mario Bros. to be a fascinating failure. The movie felt to me like a flowchart in which those involved made the wrong decision at every single point. (Animated or live-action?) (Light or dark theme?) (Perhaps not show the ugly stop-motion creature get stabbed?)

    The episode is top-tier in the Flop House pantheon and easily an episode you should recommend to new listeners. It reminds me, frankly, of the Old Dogs episode (my first listen). That featured a bad movie, great riffing and the Porthole of Time.

    The Jim Breuer WTF was fascinating, even if I'm not entirely sure I believe large portions of his story. But the endless talk about SNL in this episode and previous episodes makes me always come back to one thought.

    As someone who might know a thing or two about newspaper layout…

    The Freddy Krueger bit made me rewind the podcast several times so I could make myself stop laughing. It was so gleefully dumb in all the right ways. Also because I'd rather watch a movie with Freddy and Jason being passive-aggressive toward one another at work as opposed to straight-up combat.

    I had thought this show was just on some weird cable network somewhere, but reading this review made me realize this was on ABC! A major broadcast network! Holy crap!

    Nope. That's all I can say. Enough of this junk on TV. If you want to be like these people, be my guest. But go away. It is a rather elitist thing to say, but I'm tired of folks trying to legitimize good ol' boy/redneck culture.

    Honest thought/question. It can't be that much more expensive to do hand-drawn over cheap, terrible CGI, right? Why is terrible CGI often the norm in children's animation these days? Is it the Pixar/Dreamworks effect of CGI being the only thing in theaters now? Do they seriously think kids are "bored" by traditional

    Or why, in an era where video games are just as much an entertainment destination as movies and TV, do critics continue to write incredibly hacky one-liners about movies being just like video games?
