Our lists only overlap on four episodes, and yet I can't disagree with any of your choices (except for maybe Pepper Men, which for whatever reason I never really got into, but people obviously love). This has been a really great year for CBB.

I really hope the live episodes are eligible. The Detroit show is worthy of inclusion based on Coco Marx alone.

You seem fun.

I missed the Laker game for this?!

Okay.

I agree, which makes it even stranger that Scott and the audience seemed to turn on him halfway through his description of it.

I can understand why the things you listed would bother you (and many others, judging by this thread), but honestly they're part of why I love it.

The Gemberling/Lapkus/Johnson ep has been in my rotation for weeks now, and it just gets better and better. So many great episodes, it's hard to pick a favorite.

I was worried that i4h was doomed to be forever mired in all of that Case Closed nonsense, but the show has been so reliably stellar lately that it just might be my favorite non-CBB podcast. It's made me look forward to Thursdays.

Agreed. One of my least favorite aspects of this kind of criticism is when a reviewer offers their personal opinion as if it is fact; it's like they're implicating me into sharing the opinion.

Personally, I thought ALW's Thailand song stole the show. Such magnificent silliness.

The interstitial with the wheel just endlessly spinning made me laugh harder than anything I've seen in a long time. It's not a joke, it's not even an actual scene, and yet I found it almost unbearably funny. It's moments like that when this show is at its weirdest, and also its greatest.

What?

Mr. Marshall, I just want to say that I've always been a big fan of your podcast work.

Gordon "The Hatchet" Thatchet, you're alive?!

Coincidentally, I was just reading The Corrections before seeing this article. I'm not sure I like it, but I'm going to finish it, goddamn it!

Mommy, what is 'die?'

I'm glad to see The Place Beyond the Pines get some love. There's no doubt that it's a flawed film (its greatest moments all occur in the first act, for example), but within all of the mess is some of the most powerful filmmaking I've seen in a long time.

I first noticed this title with its bottom half it off by the bottom of the page, and thought it was "A Girl & a Cup." I'm disappointed that this isn't the story of how that second girl got in the mix.

I could not be looking forward to this season more. The finale of Season 1 is one of my favorite episodes of any comedy series ever.
