wow, it's nice to meet someone who can relate! I don't even know what Captain and Tennille is

that's ok. I was in college and I also knew about it and was glued into it but also at an obnoxious level to some degree. I remember donating $10 on the red cross at the computer lab and then sort of shaming my computer lab neighbor for not doing the same

whatever happened to your life afterwards?

see, I only know about old music in reverse. Barbie Girl I only knew because I heard it in the Axis of Awesome's Four Chord Song with subtitles:

I wonder how you all would feel about me if I told you I listened to almost no pop music until about 1997 when I was in 8th grade. That was the year my sister got her driver's license and had to drive me around and she had more modern radio tastes than my mom who listened to "Sounds of Sinatra" and my dad who's mostly…

I know this is overly pluggy but I watched Glow a little late to the party so couldn't share my thoughts on any Glow review sites, so I compiled a lot of my notes and put them on my blog: http://sophomorecritic.blog…

Agree although I thought a lot of funny stuff was cancelled too. I was pretty bummed out about Adam Paley's show on time travelling and Powerless

"polonium"?

Let's do a where were you when Katrina happened?
it was a pretty shocking thing to see one of our biggest cities literally destroyed by nature…

y'all should see the cinemasins youtube video for the mortal kombat film

To each his own, but I can't imagine a worse movie, it was extremely corny but I suppose anything can be passed off as camp. The only thing I can't imagine is how the sequel (which I didn't see) could be worse

Yeah, Mortal Kombat 2 was a pretty big obsession in grade school. We loved the mythology behind it, and at the local mall's game stop- like store we had a pretty big line to play it and it was pretty hard to make it past the first level. It was a lot of fun. I remember when I went to Lake Placid on a ski vacation I…

Who is Spencer Grammar? #dontmakemehavetolookitupinanotherwindow

Well if we're going to talk Barry Sonnenfield films, wasn't Men in Black '97?

1997 is a really bad year as far as I know. Granted I haven't seen the Ice Storm, but there's very little outside of the 5 Oscar mominees. And Crash is 1996. You guys generally favor the earlier release date anyways

No Good Will Hunting or As Good as it Gets? Those films are pretty much synonymous with 1997

Fair point. I'm trying to make a coherent point that just because great art exists means that I'm obligated to absorb all of it., in response to all the people who say "you need to watch ____"

I tend to have a lower level of tolerance for people judging music since it's so much more subjective, but I think these guys might have a decent point. I like third eye blind though, so shut up

As far as I can tell Sean Hannity is the worst person on the planet.

Oh my god yes!
Now that I think of it, it probably was either 96 or 97 that I had been relatively unfamiliar with Star Trek, and turned on the TV and saw Deep Space Nine and was HOOKED. That was my first TV obsession (ironically, it was DS9 and not the other two series). I missed my middle school prom because it was…
