It was running on HBO just now and I put it on for a moment because I wanted to get a sample of what I was in for, and I ended up watching the rest of the show. It's quite absorbing - Gethard's a great performer who knows how to work this room. It's a bit light on laughs, but then again I've heard many of these…

Maybe I haven't read every comment, but I've not seen anyone mention just how deep the writers of Austin Powers went into the Bond canon for references and Easter eggs. That kind of love for the source material was missing from the sequel, which was more an opportunity to reference the things people liked from the…

I think he had unfortunate timing - right when he was about to become the star of the show, Farley and Sandler arrived and their sensibility seemed to dominate. Plus the fact that a lot of his SNL bits ended up re-worked into his films has made those seem a little less special.

More important is that while it is a Lorne Michaels impression, almost nobody seeing the movie would've recognized it as such - Myers is playing a totally different character. Even if the impression is stolen, which I kind of doubt, it's been re-imagined as something else.

Well, no, I wasn't really clear - I also disagree with your premise that Bajillion is somehow responsible for Aukerman's supposed burnout. The reason why Scott's 'creativity' might be diminished is two-fold - A: he stopped doing the games, which as I've said here before, the games let Scott control the show in a way…

I'm a white person who doesn't know Chinese, but I feel like Middleditch's Chinese character does a good job of replicating the tonality of that language (inasmuch as I've overheard from Chinese friends and in other contexts) and you're right, he's not really doing a broad caricatured accent.

I'm not buying this. Bajillion has brought a bunch of new improvisers to the CBB rotation and while none of them are CBB superstars yet (though Newsome could be), they're all at least decent and I'm excited for most of them to appear. The first generation of CBB guests are simply gone; they have careers now. I…

I saw that episode of Spont loaded with great CBB regulars and then someone told me that it's coming up on Anniversary Show time for CBB - I bet those people were all at the CBB recording and it either happened before or after the recording of Spont.

World On A Wire has the greatest trailer I have ever seen. It was shown at the IFC center and I was like 'holy shit I have to see this movie'

Ever since I clicked on an Amazon link for a children's book about open carry and got weird recommendations for a week, anything on Amazon I'm linked to, I click on the link in an incognito window. I don't need businesses reminding me of the bad decisions I make.

Her appearance on With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus is outstanding too.

The site itself is also so poorly maintained - the CBB show page still features a page to vote for your favorite live episodes from 2016, and last year the page to vote for the best episodes in 2015 stayed up all through 2016.

I assumed they closed it today because they didn't want a bunch of Joel vs Mike, 'the new mst3k sucks' bullshit; I hadn't noticed they were closed last week. Having forums on your own site to talk podcasts is sort of weird anyway.

I don't even remember this part of this ridiculous documentary, but if you miserably sat through Boondock Saints, this movie is a must-watch.

Feels like it would be every one.

Most of Harris's wordplay bits it's not hard to see the origin and how he wrote the joke around the premise. This one is so delightfully false premised that I have no clue how he wrote it - the connection is so goddamn tenuous. 'Here's some info, you just got fucked, clean yourself up' - it's so fucking good.

I just got tix (tickets). Very excited.

Oh man, you're right. Clearly I need to watch them all again.

All I could think of when I saw that title was Mr. Show where Bob Odenkirk says 'Soon, soon, you're a balloon!' as an admonishment when he was running the Mom and Pop Porno Store.

It's at the sight of a big glob of Cinnabon goo, so I suspect something like that will be revealed here this season.
