Ugh. I voiced my disapproval of both of those when I recapped wrestling podcasts last week, but they do seem to be catching on. My friend and I sort of ironically use them to make fun of Rosenberg, just because we can't stand him getting catchphrases over and playing "the heel" on a podcast. I do still listen to the…

PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ROUNDUP

I just hate Plant's lyrics and vocals on that song. But yes, Bonham is amazing on it.

I was saying of all of the songs whose choruses just repeat the title of the song, "Seventh Son" is my favorite. It's not my favorite Maiden song of all time.

In the pantheon of amazing hard rock bands that don't get their due, King's X may just be the top.

Couldn't it not fit on the LP or something? I read that was the case, but I could be wrong. I think they would have had to make it a double LP if they added one more song, so they decided to save it. Of course, this inspired dozens of bands to do the same type of thing. The one that comes to mind right now, King's X…

I do too, if only for that recurring trumpet fill that repeats in the final choruses.

This and "Fool in the Rain" are my two least favorite Zeppelin songs. Braunger perfectly articulated why this song sucks. The worst part is arguably the end of the song when the steel drum kicks in hardcore and then Page starts playing the riff slightly behind the beat, with random triplet accents thrown in. BLEARGH!

Of all the Iron Maiden songs whose choruses consist of nothing but the title of the song repeated over and over again (there are quite a few), "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" might be my favorite (although "Brave New World" comes close).

It's even better when she shoots that barrel from a helicopter!

To be fair, J. EDGAR was met with dead silence from EVERYBODY.

I would be all for seeing the Ventura scene, especially if Ventura was played by comedian James Adomian.

I think that's the whole point of the movie, though. That one man helped make this difference, and because of that man, despite this undeniable darkness, people lived and generations spawned. I don't think your criticism is invalid, but to me, you're also saying "He didn't make it dark enough," which I can't agree…

Is the consensus on the "Could've done more" scene that it's really terrible? That's surprising to me. I won't deny that it's sappy and inaccurate, but I think Neeson's performance is so brilliant in that scene that it makes me cry every time.

I'm with you on the Summer of Sam criticism. The fact that he's blaring "Baba O'Reily" and playing along on his guitar really stood out as a big NOPE when I first saw that movie. I couldn't tell if Spike was trying to show "this guy is clearly a poseur" or "I think any British band with a loud guitar = punk" because…

I kind of agree with you. Even my most steadfastly liberal friends never dared to insult returning or deploying servicemen. I also think, though, that 9/11 had a lot to do with that. It's hard to say, "You are going over there to kill babies!" when the majority of the country is still reeling from its largest…

I thought 'Jarhead' did an excellent job with the Gulf War, as well. Some of the friends I saw that film with criticized it for its lack of action, and due to it being released in the heart of the Iraq War, proclaimed it a "liberal" movie. I thought it did a great job of showing that even when you are deployed and…

"Because it wouldn't fit on the caaaaake"

I think on the CBB podcast one time Mulaney mentioned how funny it is that everyone assumes he's Jewish because of the George character, when neither Mulaney nor George are actually Dutch.

Good point about Bauer. I know he's more of a radio personality these days, not specifically wrestling.
