Do you ever get a kick out of watching late-80s/early-90s movies and seeing the Barely Concealed Terror of the Japanese?

I imagine we’ll get a similar kick in 20 years from watching movies of this era and seeing the And Now a Moment to Thank Our Benevolent Chinese Sponsors moments 

That was Josh Malina

I got tricked by that when the first season came on Netlfix. 

“Scientifically it might not be accurate” is hilariously understated.

True story: when I was an undergrad at UCLA, Greg Graffin was the teaching assistant for one of my biology classes. This was around 1989-1990 when he was working on his master’s degree. His name seemed familiar, but I didn’t put it together right away. I was not very into punk music then, although I saw them perform…

No dude, I totally got it. Don’t dumb it down.

Welcome back to Inside Baseball Inside The AV Club. We’re currently joining a game in progress...

How is Gurewitz doing these days? I saw them like five years ago and was like “Who is this frail old man that’s playing guitar for Bad Religion now. I couldn’t believe it was Brett Gurewitz. He and Mick Mars probably wouldn’t have weighed 200lbs put together.

It is the real thing. The miniseries is also excellent, but that book! I live in Santa Fe, spend a fair amount of time thinking about cattle drives, due to the unique traffic problems that still exist from those times!

Requiem is basically a preachy, shitty Trainspotting. It’s embarrassingly bad and I hated it when I first saw it. But it’s legacy is even worse: a film about addiction that treat its subjects as bare functional adults from the get-go and ends in one of the worst sex scenes in history. It's basically Reefer Madness for…

No In the Mood for Love? Really?

A Lee Myung-se movie in a top ? Am I dreaming ? Excellent choice Mike D’Angelo. I think Nowhere To Hide is one of the most beautiful south korean movie I’ve ever seen... And Duelist ! I’m so sad that he didn’t directed new movies after M... 13 years ago...
