He definitely has fans in Texas (for full disclosure, I live there), but “loved” is probably an exaggeration for the state as a whole. Beto nearly beat him in Cruz’s most recent election, getting closer to unseating a sitting Republican here than anyone else in recent history, which tells me that there are a fair…

I read that they avoided Plan 9 because there was too much dialogue. They didn’t have any space to fit the riffs in.

Mixed-Up Zombies is probably my least favorite MST3K that I’ve seen, because the film is so awful that Mike and the Bots just seem to be in shock throughout most of it, and the riffs mostly fall flat. I maintain that Mixed Up Zombies is worse than Manos as far as movies go. While the pacing is atrocious, Torgo and a…

Looking at the marketing for Cris Tales always makes me feel like someone has broken into my mind and created my idea of the perfect video game. Gorgeous hand drawn art style! Time travel! Turn-based JRPG! Female protagonist with red hair! The only things missing are platforming; cute, anthropomorphic animals;…

If anyone for whatever bizarre reason wants to hear a song that actually is about Stephen Colbert, The Apples in Stereo have this bizarrely specific niche covered:

The funny part is, when I read Prisoner of Azkaban as a kid, the twist with Lupin genuinely surprised me because I didn’t know Latin or Greek roots that well at that point, so Lupin might as well had just been any other name.

The problem is: how many people who are strongly considering not taking the vaccine know the differences between the vaccines or that there are no signs of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines having side effects like this? I’m presuming this type of person is not well educated on this, and might quickly turn this into…

Neil DeGrasse Tyson appeared on two episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

Yeah, it was a TV movie. Probably one of the best that I’ve seen to be honest.

Yeah, it really is more of an aesthetic. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

I was forced to watch that in class in high school once. As someone who hates football and most sports movies, I was expecting to hate it, but ended up genuinely floored by how heartfelt and touching it was. It’s an underrated film.

Yeah, that’s a decent point, but while video and tabletop games are definitely becoming more mainstream, they’re still kind of somewhat a niche thing as opposed to television or movies, so I still somewhat consider those nerd culture things (you’ll still get a lot of people who just blanket won’t play video or…

I’m currently attempting to teach twelve different characters the Ultima spell in Final Fantasy VI so I can just blow through every boss in the final dungeon. It is very tedious, and probably overkill, but I must do it.

I never got the argument that steampunk is played out because there hasn’t really been a piece of mainstream media that has been steampunk and successful. You have cult classic things like The Difference Engine and The Warlord of the Air or the Girl Genius webcomic, but the average person doesn’t know about those. You…

The world could always use more Donald Duck.

Honestly, maybe this is just nostalgia talking, but all of those sound like they could be entertaining, albeit ironically so in some cases.

The fact that several TTG episodes openly insulted fans of the original series didn’t help.

I’m guessing that you were mostly talking with teenage fans and older, of which that was the opinion of a lot of them at the time. The younger generations loved it.

I wouldn’t know. Never played Shining Force and don’t know much about it. I didn’t start playing Sega games until the Gamecube era.

I’m not the only one that absolutely despised this mission? Good.
