    Is this an episode of Contrarian Opinions?

    Man, I used to loooove Cheap Seats. The Wrist-Wrestling Championship has been etched into my brain as arcane trivia. World capital of wrist-wrestling? Petaluma, California, of course!

    He makes Speedy Gonzalez look like Regular Gonzalez.

    I am unsure as to how it could be harder to find a distribution channel nowadays. There are tons of them. You could even forgo the entire distribution angle and just upload it to Youtube. Isn't that what Kung Fury just did?

    "He's so obviously talking about how it's harder to get smaller films made in today's environment,"

    Maybe the biggest movies are the worst they've been* but if he seriously thinks that there aren't tons of quality low budget movies**, then he isn't looking hard enough.

    I'm not sure if I've ever heard a Conway Twitty song that wasn't part of a Time Life Collection infomercial, but somehow I still knew that it was a Conway Twitty impersonator.

    I'm seein' double, etc.

    I think you mean Oscar and Pulitzer Prize winning comedian Todd Barry.

    It sounds pretty awesome. But what providers actually carry the network? I've never even heard of it.

    That's sort of what I was thinking! Seems so bizarre and weird in 2015 America for someone with a high profile to publicly tweet that.

    I like the way Tronald Dump thinks!

    Ugh, barf. Trump just gets worse and worse.

    I'm enjoying the fact that his presidential run—which exists solely to get him attention and money and grow his 'brand' because, realistically, he has zero chance of winning—is actively hurting him now.

    How about 'WORKING THROUGH MY ISSUES VIA CBT'?

    What's funny is that the number one comment on the only other article about him is also 'Eh, no Peg' complete with flush sound and studio audience.

    Just Because, Internet!
