Jon Hamm's going to have a lot of free time pretty soon, is charismatic and has great comedic timing.

Tom Scharpling. Film it live, let people call or skype in to talk.

This was the first place I ever heard Pavement, though I didn't know it was Pavement then. And then once I got into Pavement, I thought the guitar in the theme song sounded a lot like something they'd do. Strange times. This show was the best.

Strong, black, and pregnant.

I have the strongest feeling that Transistor is going to be awful. It looks like it's trying way too hard to appeal to what people liked about Bastion (the sound design, the art style), but from the gameplay snippets it just looks stiff. Also the theme song seems to be some lost cut from 1997.

I'm way late to the party on this one, but the way I read it, it was being run as an amusement park. They take the villain of the month and let people pay to witness their extended punishment for as long as it takes until a new horrible person pops up that the public wants to punish more. It never felt that…

In 1991, my brothers and I begged our parents to get us an NES. Just wouldn't stop begging them, telling them what games we wanted, and never letting the subject drop about how all we had was the stupid Atari, and our friends all had NESes. Christmas came, and they wound up getting us an SNES, and it was a disaster.…

In the very final show's audio collage, there was a clip of some young kid named Mac talked to by Jon Wurster playing Jimmy Crespo from Aerosmith. I had never really wanted to delve into the deep catalog until then, despite listening for a couple years, but just knowing that that happened on the spot made me really…

I thought Spike was supposed to be the Comic Book Guy

I had to remember my log in info just now, specifically so I could down-vote you.

Finally started the show from the beginning this week, since I have all the time in the world and no new eps pressing. I'm finding the Wurster calls way funnier back then, because the other callers didn't realize he was a plant. It's great to hear them react to some of the absurd shit he's saying, and it'll be…

Trainspotting's got a couple clunkers but its highs are much higher. Lou Reed "Perfect Day", Blur "Sing", Iggy Pop "Lust For Life", Underworld "Born Slippy"

Don't forget cymbals!

"Last Christmas", by Wham or anyone who has covered it. What a terrible goddamned song. I think it's about Christmas one night stands, too, which makes it especially weird when kids sing it.

Yeah, I don't always love his movies, but McKay can be brutally honest about the industry and it's really refreshing. His recent talk with Matt Besser about why Jim Breuer was canned from SNL was also really great and transparent.

Played all of Something Else by The Kinks, did you? Not a bad choice, though "Death of a Clown" might be a strange one.

Trainspotting better be the focus of one of these articles. That film's use of music is second to none.

You're a fictional character talking to a long dead Indian chief, and you mean to tell us this is too much of a stretch?
