This blind man, feature this, he was wearing a full beard! A beard on a blind man! Too much, I say.

Lauter has probably the least showy major role in the film, but damned if he doesn't leave an impression even when pitted against a loony Anthony Hopkins, a flustered Burgess Meredith and a topless Ann-Margaret.

That's not what Zardoz taught me.

I knew someone was going to mention that. That was just barely the '80s.

Wings Over America kicks all sorts of ass. Even the songs that can be hard to take in their studio incarnations sound fantastic on that album. One of my favorite live records ever.

If ever I encountered unmeltable butter, putting it in a pie with the intention of eating it would not be the first option on my list.

Which one?

And you just gave me a whole new reason to love Jughead.

I prefer to think it's a crossover with those insurance ads. He is, after all, causing mayhem in the squad.

I'm pleasantly surprised that you remembered to include Riverdale vs. Central. The portrayal of Central High, especially in the athletics-and-adventure-themed Archie at Riverdale High series, was way over the top, even by kids' comic book villain standards. Everyone at that school was a sniveling weasel, a malevolent…

Jughead, for Christ's sake. He's a steadfast nonconformist who knows how to buck the system while still abiding by its rules. He's an unapologetically weird guy who knows himself better than anyone
else in Riverdale. He's not a slave to his teenage hormones, he owns up to his vices of gluttony and sloth and he sets his…

I think part of the thing with Burton is that he'd had
such a remarkable run of good work that his detractors couldn't wait to see him fail. Even when he got mixed reviews, his movies had a habit of becoming popular successes. A lot of folks pounced on Mars Attacks!, for instance, but it went and became a…

I picked up Linda's Wide Prairie solo album from the library a few years back. I didn't expect it to be great, but I figured a couple of hidden gems might have been shepherded through via Paul's production. I was wrong. That album is unlistenable.

That's Rhode Island's official state motto, is it not?

This time of year is when I miss Homestar the most. The Halloween installments were my absolute favorites. I especially appreciated that there was always at least one costume I had to look up. It takes a lot to stump me in that vein of pop culture ephemera, but they pulled it off.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that. Of all the songs to which you could set your big musical climax, that's the one you went for?

It's "The Geddup Noise" for me. So hypnotic.

Pickles the Drummer pretty much covered this in that one "Dethklok in L.A." episode of Metalocalypse, although bands like Vixen probably deserve a little more in-depth exploration than "hot sluts living in garbage."

Oh god, that college radio clip was up there among the most spot-on bits they ever did. It made me feel retroactively guilty about my own DJing technique back in my undergrad days.

I tried showing HR to my brother who regards the web in purely utilitarian terms. About 30 seconds into a Teen Girl Squad clip he said, "Nope" and that was that.
