Yay! Just had to express excitement over seeing someone else into kaiju films. It's a rare breed of folk, but it's always fun to encounter.

Plus, if you're willing to dig deeper, there are definitely all sorts of avenues for sports reportage that can tell interesting stories. The new NPR Podcast Embedded did a story about two players in the NBA's D League, aka their minor league team, and follows two aspirational players as they hope to be called up to…

I play Movie Trivia on a weekly basis and, as part of preparation for that week's trivia, I always try to look up what celebrities are having their birthday today. At the website I use, I'm always astonished to discover that they usually have a lot of listings for prominent YouTubers, and moreover, that they're…

Meat's comments aren't about Vietnam; THEY ARE VIETNAM!

Oh yeah, I love that cover so much. I'd totally be down with him just doing an album of covers and going with material that you wouldn't think of as a typical Ben Folds song.

I don't remember Rock This Bitch being played. However, he did do a cover of Bitches Ain't Shit that was from one of the EP's he released around this time, which was a lot of fun. Just as much as the giant audience sing-alongs for Army and Not The Same.

Yeah, a Ben Folds Five show would be ideal to see. However, even in the non-Ben Folds Five iteration, it's still a great show with superb piano playing from Mr. Folds himself. And there's definitely quite a bit of old material played throughout the night.

Thanks. While I wouldn't say he's my favorite artist, he is someone I've dug a lot over the years and the show I saw him at was both really enjoyable and introduced me to Improv Everywhere, which has led to a lot of super enjoyable experiences afterwards.

Not likely to change your mind, but I genuinely have loved and enjoyed the Jo Firestone shows I've gone. I go with the expectation that they're not going to be typical comedy shows, that they are going to be more oddball and bizarre, and that there will be a lot of audience interaction. All of that greatly appeals to…

I probably would. I saw it three times in theaters and it remained as thrilling and enjoyable every time to me. Plus, it's one of the few films where I'm excited to see every single part of it again.

This current season of Start Up's been a pretty strong one so far, with the highlight for me being the third one about Grooveshark. Just very solid storytelling of a company from birth to death, with all the details I never knew about Grooveshark before listening, mainly that internal struggles had as much to do with…

This is why we can't have good things anymore.

Kind of ironic that you're saying that critics have a liberal agenda when Miller and Co. presented the Palme to a filmmaker who's stridently Socialist and in favor of working man's rights, which would seem to put it open to accusations of liberal agenda pushing as the film press supposedly are.

Where do you stand at this point on whether the blogger profiled in Reply All really is guilty or not? Probably a lot may be swayed based on the testimony in this week's episode, but I still kind of want to believe that maybe he didn't do it. However, it's still a discomforting sign that he's a big Trump supporter.

Crossover I never thought I needed until I heard it.

It is definitely not Live And Let Die, as that's one I've seen at least twice. There is a scene in a cemetery, but Bond isn't visiting her grave.

Oh yeah, you had a valid point regardless. Just having watched all the Bond films in order last year made me want to make the point a bit more accurate. And you're right, I do remember now that she does get mentioned at the beginning of License To Kill.

Pedantic point: It's actually Roger Moore who visits Dianna Rigg's grave. I believe it's in For Your Eyes Only that that happens, which also has an unseen and unnamed Blofeld being dropped down an chimney in the opening sequence.

He's certainly the Franco I look forward to seeing in more films as opposed to his brother.

I definitely understand that. I probably should've meant that less for you and the other film reviewers, who I do like, but more the Newswire people, who've lost a lot of the spark and good snark now that Sean O'Neal's gone. I wouldn't say the whole film is super, super funny, but it got some good laughs and that…
