I think Peloton missed what could’ve been a vital teaching moment, especially considering that thousands (millions?) of people will be receiving their bikes over the next few weeks. “Look, strenuous cardiac exercise can kill you. Don’t be a schmuck and jump into this without talking to your doctor first” (or words to

Due to the compressed run time, I’m guessing the montages that reduce grown-ups to tears at the start of each episode of “Dug Days” is only 10 seconds.

Thank you very much for the clarification! I’ve been saving the update emails since the project began. Maybe it’s time I actually take the time and read them :-) .

I’m not sure how it’s breaking down, but, yeah, Emily is doing some episodes. One of the Kickstarter updates I got that I actually read noted that filming of her episodes on the East Coast had finished and that production was moving west for Jonah’s episodes.

Different take on a “Batwoman.” This one’s from Mexico.

Does the upcoming Gamera riff feature a young Richard Burton?

That needs to be the subtitle for Andy Samberg’s “Popstar 2.”

I think the marathons work great when you’re already familiar with the episodes. It then almost becomes like a liturgy or a concert by an old recording artist.

A great call as well! (As long as that call doesn’t go to Jim’s answering machine.)

I haven’t listened to that podcast yet, but let me take a guess: The Robin Thicke/Marvin Gaye decision spooked the hell out of record companies’ legal departments?

And he did all of this in only four episodes (2 BTAS, 1 NBA, 1 BB), plus the movie. The supplement list for the Blu-ray for the Mr. Freeze movie -- maybe for the complete BTAS, which also included the movie -- said something like “all the Mr. Freeze episodes,” which made me realize how Ansara did so much with so

Now playing

Michael Ansara, whose performance as Mr. Freeze is arguably better than Hamill’s Joker,

However, they still believe Bert is the Unibrower.

Hopefully PJ takes these lessons to heart for when he starts work on the Rutles documentary.

Apparently that screenplay/movie got Sondheim and Perkins in the mix to write the movie “Clue,” but Paramount balked at the pay request despite John Landis pushing for it.

Disappointed Sinatra wasn’t one of Peter Lawford’s partners...

Pretty sure Hamster hasn’t released it as part of its Arcade Archives line.
