CORRECTION: Man all these comics sound fucking awful.

Uh huh. And, what, there was no romance in his music when he was sampling classic soul records, but he samples some white hipster beardo and it's NEXT STOP ROMANCE CITY!!?

"Those cookies belong in a museum!". Wait, I mean "Get off my dam!". No, wait, "Laugh it up, fuzzball!". Hang on, I've got it now - "You're a clear and present danger to those cookies!".

Man this comic sounds fucking awful.

MBDTF, easily. Half of Yeezus is a dull, hookless slog.

Any critical analysis of the facts shows that there's no evidence at all that Adnan committed this crime. The cell tower inaccuracies aren't speculation - Simpson has looked at which tower was pinged at which time. And at the phone records which say explicitly that location data for incoming calls isn't reliable. So

But then there's also his line about "this part isn't about the mission, it's about following orders". He knows he's being sent on a futile suicide mission because he tried to escape his handlers. Such a great film.

That script was written years before Monkeys, though.

Patterson: Sorry I'm late, everyone. [accusingly to Homer]: Somebody tampered with my brakes.
Homer: Well then you should've been there early.

Wait, what episode is that from?

What in the hell happened to David Peoples? Bladerunner, Unforgiven, 12 Monkeys … then nothing for 20 years.

Hypnotic Deprogammer: I did get Paul McCartney out of Wings.

If the podcast had used this case to examine broader problems with the justice

NO SOUNDCLOUD??? Then how are people going to hear my amazing new mash-up of 'Blank Space' and the Fat Albert theme song???

Wrong episode, dudes, this is last week's.

You Might As Well Just Stick A Fuck-Off Great Big "Kick Me!" Sign To Your Back, Internet.

Wait, You Think Mash-Ups Are Still A Thing? Seriously? Just, Ugh, I Don't Know What To Say. I Mean, That's … Fuuuuuuuck … I Can't Even Look At You Right Now, Internet.

Yeah, I'd be more excited about seeing Lucas's Episode VII. It'd probably be a failure, but it would stand a better chance of being interesting, on account of Lucas not giving a fuck about pleasing original trilogy fans.

It's impossible for the new films to measure up to the old ones just because the old ones weren't released into a pop culture landscape where the Star Wars trilogy had been the template for every big-budget action adventure for the past 40 years. There's no way of getting close to the shocking, exciting newness of

"When the town of Twin Peaks is rocked once again by a grisly murder, the only people who can solve the case are Ray Manzarek, Jeffrey Beaumont, Trey MacDougal, and Paul Atreides."
