Good shocking or bad shocking? I think Mitchell, Mack and Brydon really have to carry some of their guests, but you get the odd brilliant one.

I really want to start a company making (off-brand) POGs of random old entertainment things to cash in on this line.

Lots of bars, pubs and restaurants (in the UK at least) used to have smoking and non-smoking areas. Smoke doesn't magically not travel to the non-smoking area. Non-smoking areas would often be nowhere near the bar, or have the smoking area between it and the kitchen or toilets. The only real difference was you'd get…

I have to ask, is it hard to get around with that stick up your butt?

Valerian gets
his hand and blaster gun stuck in another dimension, which he is still
able to see using a special pair of goggles; this leads him to run

while his disembodied hand exchanges gunfire up and down bustling

Leela was human, just not from Earth.

I'm still convinced Casanova was consciously Tennant's audition piece for Doctor Who.

Well no, because I don't attribute a wife's work to their husband and I'm not sure why you would beyond snark? I meant Penn & Teller Fool Us, Japanorama, In Search of Steve Ditko, his Radio 2 show.

I loved the Goosebumps covers (and books, obv) as a kid too, but it's only from following a link to the Goosebumps wiki in another comment here that I realised we got completely different covers in the UK than in the US (for the first 30 books or so at least). Ours were all "things emerging from brightly coloured…

I mean…. I agree, but Jonathan Ross does a lot of stuff* where he's not his wanker chat show persona.

They hired Noel Fielding. There was no way baking puns weren't going to get replaced by MADLIB surrealism.

So you're saying you lived out an episode of Doug?

I've been going back and exploring Nintendo's 90s back catalogue lately and was surprised by Donkey Kong 94 as well. I had always just assumed it was a port of the arcade game, if I ever even thought of it at all, but it's really the start of the Mario Vs Donkey Kong series.

Mario Galaxy is not a 2D/3D hybrid.
