Took my son to see Bad Guys. We loved the books, and I had reservations, because it looked like it diverged pretty far from the source material. It WAS pretty different from the books, but it had the same spirit, and we both thought it was great.

I’m a Craig Ferguson fan, and I enjoyed The Hustler enough, but I hope this gives him the chance to tackle something with a little more meat.

I was thinking of Snow Crash, with it’s weird diversion into Babylonian history in the middle, or Anathem with the 600 PAGE SCENE set in a large conference room...

As much as I love Stephenson, doesn’t that describe most of his work?

I never said they weren’t - please don’t put words in my mouth. I only replied to your slagging of Devo.

Heh, I mean, I definitely own more Meat Puppet albums than Alice in Chains albums. But that would assume I give a shit about the hall. I was just trying to point out that Devo is a LOT more important than you think they are.

There were definitely NOT a lot of New Wave artists before them. “Whip It” was on their third album - they’d been a band for nearly a decade before that, and were one of the first punk bands to incorporate synths as a major part of their sound. Brian Eno and David Bowie tag-teamed the production of their first album,…

“Of all the bands who came from the underground and made it in the mainstream, Devo were the most challenging and subversive of all.”—Kurt Cobain

Hell yeah they are, and I’m pretty sure Soundgarden would agree, since they covered “Girl You Want.”

I was thinking we were talking about The Host, based on the book by the Twilight writer. Which is terrifying, but for entirely different reasons.

One of my favorite really dumb movies!

Lindsey Buckingham is one of my absolute favorite guitarists. I'd say he IS a visionary, absolutely. He's also a total dick.

I actually really liked this episode, but I think they missed one real opportunity. In the opening sequence, Star Lord should have fired up his Walkman, and danced into the temple to some Fela Kuti.

Read “The Ocean at the End of the Lane.” Much of that is based upon Neil’s youth, including his father's affair with the babysitter.

She was Latina in the “Scoob!” animated movie too, I believe.

White Hen Pantry was my go-to cup of coffee for many late nights of work. Caffeine-laced rocket fuel!

Yeah, I was just about to sign up for Discovery+ to get our fix, when that showed up in our listing. Yay, saved money!

Battlebots. My family are unabashed Battlebots fans. 

He really is.
