Hey AV Club, did you drop coverage of Utopia or are you only doing weekly recaps? The review for the first one looked like it was going to have regular coverage (with the Utopia and not random header tag thingy), but I didn't see anything posted on T/W/H when a second review probably would have gone up.

By any chance, are you from Laurel Canyon? You sound like it.

Sharknado wasn't a ratings hit. It actually did slightly below average. It was a hit on twitter, which led to them making the second one in hopes that word of mouth would make the second one a hit.

I thought you were talking Marvel's Pheonix and almost went, "don't worry. They'll be dead again soon enough."

Greg Cipes (the voice actor) does live action work too and is the right age/look for this group.

Seconded. Both him and Louie Anderson are performers from that late 80s/early 90s era that were bigger than they probably should have been, but I've grown to like their modern stuff and would like to see them be more prominent today. But no, instead we get ANOTHER attempted revival of the Dice Man. Have you ever seen…

The only reason I know of Houseguest is because of the We Hate Movies episode (http://www.whmpodcast.com/2… ) about it.

Darmok and Your Ma at Tanagra.

Ehh, you can watch the livefeed of it, so you might be able to catch the start of a(n attempted) rape before they cut the camera.

Ehh, those were from the 40s. Although maybe we should include them as a warning system; if they rank high up on the list, you know that person is probably a racist (or has no interest in Batman).

A bit. Although the crotch shots are what gets me. Schumacher's suit up sequence involves the camera zooming in to characters' crotches when they're putting their belts on. In Batman Forever, he had it zoom in on just Batman's. In B&R, some of the first shots in the film are of Batman and Robin's crotches. Later on…

Aww, thanks!

If we're just discussing live action post-West, my list is

The baby from Eraserhead's probably my favorite. I love that I'm still not sure how that prop was made.

Or Bonesaw McGraw if we're going with the Randy Savage version.

Seems fitting given that Rob Paulsen's a voice actor that Wil Wheaton probably loves.

Congrats and welcome to the city!

…what were they doing for the other three?!

How did this not happen before?

The movie takes place around 1920, so it's six decades before Harry's birth (1980). It's around seven decades before most of the first book (1991-2).
