Back in college, my brother made a short documentary about two guys who went to Chuck E Cheese every year to relive their youth. While Bennett and Mooney's characters where definitely "louder" than their real life counterparts, the general premise was spot-on.

Speaking as a native, Pittsburgh is where the North, South and Midwest collide. It's a little bit of three.

A handful of years ago, my wife and I decided to give Town and Country a try. We're both huge fans of Shandling and frankly, we were bored as hell. We tapped out about twenty minutes in. Easily one of the worst films either of us have ever seen.

For whatever reason, that stupid ad stuck with me all these years. It worked, too. I was so psyched that I flipped through our massive 38 channels lineup as soon as I got home from school, hoping we had it. We didn't. I was so disappointed. (I would repeat the cycle with the Cartoon Network launch a few years later.)…

Hugo Weaving as Namor.

They were eating the Kroger store brand. The logo was covered by a sticker. The show also uses ubiquitous generic brand Essential Everyday a lot in background shots. Essential Everyday chips are great, especially baked potato and jalapeno popper. Kroger… Not so much.

The Popeye CED/VideoDisc is pretty much essential viewing for anyone interested in why the finished film is the way it is. Side A, aside from some questionable cuts in "I'm Mean," is damn good. You get the feeling that it's more or less what Robert Altman wanted. Side B - everything after the boxing match - is an…

Agreed. Them treating the race like it's the second act of Highlander ("There can be only one… True conservative!") is mind boggling.

I'm a transgender (fiscal) conservative.

Yeah. Erickson is pushing for Rick Perry to head the third-party ticket.

Man… I haven't thought of them since the Logan Whitehurst days (may he rest in peace). That new song is pretty great.

I didn't watch Veronica Mars, so Enrico Colantoni is, was and always shall always be Elias (from Person of Interest) to me. Drake sure does love himself some violent mobster, doesn't he?

The soundtrack to Popeye. The finished movie isn't exactly great (the second half makes no sense), but Nilsson's music is still excellent.

I have to go with Progress Wrestling. It inhabits an odd middle ground between NXT and Lucha Underground - there is more emphasis on story and character arcs than the former, but not quite the "deformed monster brother in the basement" soap opera of the latter. I'm already becoming quite the Noam Dar fan (I can't hate…

Last week, Pop TV showed a five minute, uninterrupted "season one catchup" of Schitt's Creek during Impact. It was, with all apologies to EC3 and Mike Bennett, easily the most entertaining thing on the show.

I think the Atari game in question is either Solaris or Star Raiders. The former is absolutely brilliant. My dad, brother and I used to make graph paper maps for each screen. The latter is WAY too confusing for its own good.

The wife and I started binging Progress Wrestling, a semi-serialized indie from the UK, Friday night. We're currently on Chapter 4: The Ballad of El Ligero. It's pretty damn awesome.

This kind of insane bullshit goes both ways. MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, for example, recently said that the original trilogy has racist overtones. Why? Evil Vader is "black," and redeemed Vader is "white."

Thanks for posting this. It really takes me back.

I've long argued that Rocky is a trilogy: Rocky/Rocky II (watched together), Rocky III and Rocky Balboa. Creed is a spinoff that starts a new series. IV and V are glorified fan fiction that can (and should) be ignored.
