I'm not especially a fan of Spontaneanation, but today's episode is VERY good.
Aukerman really brought something to the show. PFT is delightful to a fault on Spont—I get that that's the point, being silly and jovial, but I think it's almost distracting. Guffawing at every mildly witty remark by anyone makes it feel

It was such a great throwback to the anarchic days of Comedy Death Ray. Just complete insanity.
The best part was Paul realizing that his voice sounds like Tom Leykis at the same moment that the listener does.

Power trip. He got promoted to a huge position in the company at a young age with little experience. He became the exact sort of douchey boss he resented in the first two seasons. And then, after getting burnt out on drugs, was forced to become the exact sort of dead-end job worker that he feared becoming in the first

I've always really liked the Paper Company arc—didn't like it when I first saw it, but now it's one of my favorite arcs on the show. And his interplay with Elba's character was super strong. I'm thinking his character disappeared because they couldn't lock down Elba for more than a few episodes and had to write him

It's pretty insane; that season had so many continuity issues and a completely different/wrong tone for the show, yet Lieberstein had been there from episode one. If it was some random showrunner sent in there by an executive, whatever. But Lieberstein should have known that show inside and out.

That's kind of Conan's whole thing

Kim Dickens was also awesome in Lost. *Winks and taps avatar*

For true Pally goodness, listen to the episode of Hollywood Handbook he was on. Or Improv4Humans. The guy is good at improv, is what I'm saying.

Yes yes yes to everything you just said. I love how Naked Snake, Venom Snake and Solid Snake all followed the same path as The Boss, but SS was the only one to do so with actual, unselfish nobility.

I thought his near-silence was very understandable and, I would say, essential after the game's prologue, which features one of the most upsetting massacres ever depicted in a video game. After everything else in his life, then Paz, then *that*…there's nothing else to say.

Hey! My grammatically terrible comment made it onto Keyboard Geniuses!

Would that I could go back and edit this…

Genuinely a heart-pounding moment. Such a cool idea, and they edited the hell out of it (in a good way, I mean)

Dang, I thought this was an A ep.

The Legend of Ripley's Gold

Is it a prequel to Lost? They're not saying!

The Alien franchise is going to have more confusing titles than the Fast and Furious series.

This was awesome. I'm not a horror fan in the least, but it was such a great interview. I especially appreciated this:
"The actors are getting prettier. Not the typical girl next door, or normal girl. They’ve got really nice apartments they live in, and really nice clothes, and really tight clothes, and hairstyles that

Or a Walk-Off.

The only ol' sourpuss I know is Brian Eno.
