I enjoyed the early seasons. It was always dumb but it was well-done dumb and Paul Guilfoyle elevated every scene he was in. It was the type of thing I watched quite a bit before I got a satellite dish and not at all afterward.
It was quite good, and genuinely unsettling in a Tarantino way. The unjustly incarcerated woman blankly discussing being tortured by her cell mate still sticks with me. Plus, John Saxon!
No kidding on that last point. I essentially subscribe to Dish for Cartoon Network, Comedy Central and my local NBA team. Currently Comedy Central is the only one I get. I’d switch carriers but the same thing happens periodically no matter who you sign up with. I know they’ll resolve everything soon and I’ll forget…
Yeah, I'm usually a little disappointed when a great improv character from the podcast show up on the show, just because it can't help but lose a lot of the immediacy that makes a Dalton Wilcox or a Cake Boss or a Calvins Twins so brilliant. So I was genuinely thrilled to realize that Horatio was in full-on…
I just watched Johnny Cool, a kinda great '60s mobster revenge flick with Henry Silva. Elizabeth Montgomery plays his love interest in that and she is just insanely appealing in every regard. Really made me wish she'd done more film work.
I'd have gone with Wicca-pedia.
I still have a Trans cassette too, plus a functional dual-deck tape player. But I think that particular tape has gotten screechy with age, as cassettes will. It really was not a great music format to come of age with.
Not that this refutes or proves anything, but I did a fair bit of shoplifting in my youth and I must say the thrill of getting away with something illegal and doing some minute damage to my local Wal-Mart was a much bigger motivator than owning whatever crappy action figure I stuffed down my shirt.
Oy, that's a drag. My friend's mom had an original LP in her old record collection which I dubbed to cassette in high school. I eventually torrented a copy, and I only torrent when I legitimately can't find an album elsewhere.
I'm really excited about Time Fades Away finally getting a proper vinyl reissue. I love that album and have never understood Young's apparent recalcitrance about it. "Don't Be Denied" is a top ten Neil Young song in my book.
I do, but I can't object.
I’m not the biggest How Did This Get Made fan – I like all of the people involved, but I’m a trash film aficionado and their targets are usually a little easy for my tastes – but that No Holds Barred episode is one of my
favorite podcasts ever. Deeply, deeply funny from beginning to end. And yeah, Fuller is the only…
Or this so-called "Ultimate Belt."
The sound quality varies wildly throughout the run of the show. Most are fine, but some take some patience. The William Faulkner episode with Tom Lennon is virtually inaudible, but I soldiered through because Faulkner's my number one guy.
If you put your porn player on your dashboard there is.
Crashed an SUV into a parked car while driving drunk and masturbating to dashboard porn. Crashed another SUV into a train while driving drunk and burned to death.
Before varsity basketball games my ritual was to sit by myself in the locker room and crank "Heroin" on my headphones. VU works surprisingly well in this setting.
"Maggot Brain." All of it. Game can't continue until Eddie Hazel's final licks echo off into the ether. I'd be playing basketball and that would probably throw the game off rhythm but who's going to care when they've got "Maggot Brain" wrapping their troubles in dreams?
I saw him do Wits a few months ago (his Amazon Review Theater performances on that show are solid gold) and there was a “Would You Rather”” type segment where one of the options was not being able to taste food. PFT said he desperately wished he could choose that option in real life, because for someone who’d…
