Anything that gets a grade in the A-range is almost guaranteed to get a lower grade simply because there will be outliers who think it's B level or worse, but you can't have outliers grading above A to balance that out.  And yeah, it's far more interesting to find out why one person thought a movie deserved an A,…

But Tarantino's style wouldn't work with a "serious" feminist, or Holocaust, or slavery movie.  If he'd been seriously attempting to make something like "Schindler's List" while making "Inglourious Basterds", or something like "Roots" while filming "Django Unchained", but still made one of his genre homages, that…

It's that episode towards the end of last season, where you learn that Ted watches the original Star Wars trilogy with Marshall every three years.  Then you see flashbacks of every time they've watched the trilogy together, and every time they watch the trilogy, they imagine what their lives will be like three years…

I loved the episode with Heidecker where he and Neil Hamburger play Elton John and Ernie Whatshisname and play the "original versions" of famous Elton John songs.  It was just so hilariously bad.  "It looks like Daniel, must be…the clouds!…in my…EYE!…DANIEL MY BROTHER!

The first time I ever listened to CBB/CDR I skipped to the middle of the "Best of 2010" episode where Brett Gelman was doing the iBrain bit, and out of context of knowing that Brett Gelman is being deliberately provocative I just thought the whole show was a bunch of extremist shock-jock-esque material, and thought it…
