“Three flaccid, two rock hard.” “It gets SMALLER?” made me laugh so hard. 

I think it’s very likely that he killed her. Do I think that the state proved that in their case based on what Serial told me? Not at all. Do I think they could convict him again if he’s re-tried based on that same evidence? I don’t. Do I think he should go free because they can’t make a strong enough case? I guess,

Serial made me realize how easy it is for a reporter to get too close to their subject and develop a fondness for them that makes them clearly want to hope for that subject’s exoneration. At one point, Sarah said “I know you,” to Adnan, and he got VERY upset at her for even implying that she knows who he is based on

He used the pornography scapegoat hoping that the fundamentalist Christian right would hop on it and use him as an example of “Don’t be like this guy, watching porno will turn you into a serial killer!” and of course, that message spread like wildfire. 

Berlinger’s best film is Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Every other documentary he’s been a part of has been heavily biased and misleading, with Paradise Lost 2 being the absolute worst of the bunch. 

I haven’t watched the doc but I have watched an interview with him in prison from shortly before he died where he was ranting about how pornography was partially to blame for why he became who he was and I realized, “This guy is a full-of-shit blowhard who knows he will get a lot of traction with the fundamentalist

The second episode was fantastic. Conan bringing Jordan to his favorite Italian restaurant, Olive Garden, was amazing. “CHEESE IT UP!”

Where the gavel bangs on the pieces of my broken heaaaaart

Boop BEEP boop, ba-nah, ba-nah

For years I wondered “What happened to Ryan Hurst?” before someone told me “He’s the big hairy guy on Sons of Anarchy.” I had watched two seasons of that show and never put two and two together that he was the same guy from We Were Soldiers and Remember the Titans. And yes, Sam is the best part of We Were Soldiers. 

Don’t forget “The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown)“ which was more famously covered and made a staple of their catalogue by Judas Priest 

The interview done with Bridges, Goodman and Buscemi from last year for the 20th anniversary, I think it was Goodman who suggested he always wondered if Walter even really served in ‘Nam and that made me laugh and think that maybe he wasn’t even there. Or, if he was, he likely didn’t see combat. 

So? That movie is fucking funny. 

Uh, yes. He was the most popular stand-up comedian in America for a good 5 year stretch.

Randall and Beth being future divorced was a MUCH bigger twist, IMO. 

Right? To me, THAT was the big “Holy shit” moment of the episode. Nick being alive, sure, that will be interesting, but Randall and Beth?! That just seems insane. Obviously, I know she’s beyond pissed about the political dream not being given up but is that really going to be the breaking point after all they’ve gone

That’s the thing, Phil was out of the picture and Butchie was now happily in charge in NYC. He didn’t particularly give a fuck that Phil was gone, so why would he put out a hit on Tony? Sure, Tony had plenty of other enemies, but the motive for him to be murdered at that time right after the war had ended just doesn’t

Found some old radio DJ’s burner account...

When he takes the phone call in the bathroom and another guy walks out that he didn’t know was still in the stall makes me laugh really hard. I love funny Gosling. 

The Other Guys has the most in terms of actual plot and story progression. It is really great, but nothing beats the original Anchorman for me.
