I’d imagine that the principal cast took a small payday up-front in exchange for a sizeable chunk  of the backend.

The ‘Hot Hawaiian’ at one of my go-to pizza joints around here pairs bacon (smashed into tiny, crunchy bits) and roasted pineapple, along with prosciutto and sliced jalapeños.  It’s pretty incredible.

Yes!

Yup! I remember there was a jab at Weezer in the AlTV that aired around Bad Hair Day, but he said he guessed The Rentals were still okay.

Thanks for the heads-up on The Beths! I just ordered their CD (because I’m old) off their Bandcamp.

Worse still — when your affiliate decides you’re not allowed to watch it at all. Trial and Error was pre-empted in my neck of the woods for a pre-season NFL game, and my station didn’t even reschedule it. Just straight-up not airing.

I know I can catch it on demand, but still....grrr.

That’s the equivalent of right at 400 days.  Even if they weren’t actively playing, that’s commitment!

And here I thought PDQ was ballin’ with only eight measly sauces.

I’m just jealous that somewhere, there’s a restaurant with Boylan soda dispensers, and it ain’t here.

Some stores sell Utz cheese balls in potato chip-sized bags. Down in my neck of the woods in South Carolina, you’ll mostly find the barrels everywhere, but I can find the bags in a regional chain called Lowes Foods.

Middle Cyclone scored an A-.

Exactly.

“Still, “Charlottesville” is one of those names that continues to resonate nine months after crowds of white supremacists crowded into the South Carolina city”

Charlottesville is in Virginia, not South Carolina.

I hopped in here to say ARMS too. I played through the Grand Prix once, and I still dust it off every once in a while when I have friends/relatives over, but that’s about it. There’s just not much of anything to keep me coming back.

I just grabbed my copy out of the mailbox. (Alas, I’m old and still buy CDs.) I cannot wait to give it a listen.

Unless you’re really interested in the packaging, you can get all 3 movies individually on Ultra HD Blu-ray from Amazon for $49.99 total— $20 less than the boxed set itself.

We changed TV providers when we moved a couple months back, so now I’ve gotten sucked into watching Japanese music on NHK.

My wife’s gotten surprisingly obsessed with Passcode, which is a heavily autotuned J-Pop band mashed up with screaming metal and a bit of chiptune snuck in for good measure. Scandal is probably my…
