Oddly the first time I saw it I thought the professor was a reference to Mark West.  

non diegetically, even.  (For people who complain about "April Come She Will")

It really is; it was great to see that clip again. 

Claymation Christmas!  Claymation Christmas! 

No one famous in America is quite the polymath Stephen Fry is, unfortunately, though Hodgman is the closest I can think of.   If not John Hodgman, then perhaps Stephen Colbert, but not the character.

Claymation Christmas Special!  Claymation Christmas Special!

I was not awake for Hamm— will have to check out the whole thing during Christmas travel — but the same thing happened last year!  He was visibly drunk and Pardo/Belknap actually tried to DENY it.

Claymation Christmas!  Claymation Christmas!  It's my favorite, and they don't damn air it anymore! 

I agree to all those things.  Was just listening to "Analyze Phish" over lunch and someone asked me what I was listening to.  Thankfully I didn't have to explain more than "a podcast" but I gave a lot of thought to how to possibly justify why I was listening to it. 

I nearly choked to death just now trying to strangle the laugh that clip inspired in my office.  AMAZING.  Truly, an effort that was above and beyond, but crazy worth it. 

Great interview, even if you've never seen Morris before.  I liked MI as a kid, and always remembered the son thing whenever I saw him in anything.  But that Y&R stuff—that sounds kookoo bananas.   A clip or screenshot would have been killer.

He plays another character on the show!  Who looks like Harris and is actually named Harris! 

Yes!  It's a song that's explicitly about Highlander and it rocks. 

Paul Reubens is the best performance in that movie.  I think Sutherland should get a demerit for preferring his own made-up dialogue to Whedon's. 

Thank you; weirdly my husband wouldn't agree with me and I thought I was crazy.  I think her range is very limited, even though she has a strong voice.

I believe it was rerun on A&E in the 90s. 

Two things I liked that weren't mentioned:  the podcast turning into a WWE promo, and the teaser starting about one minute before teasers normally begin.  "We were just waiting for you to come and bring us news."  "oh, guys, great news!" 

I hate when I watch sports and it's just the same rules and the same players using the same techniques over and over.  The games are even all the same length!  They just start to meld together for me.

She's probably fluent in like four Times sections. 

Completely agree.  I didn't get the whole Titanic thing, and he's barely aged since.  The only role that worked for me was The Departed — was supposed to look like a weasel, looked like a weasel (and perfectly paired with All-American Matt Damon).  Play more weasels, Leo!
