The Net (1995)

Something about Gabrus’ “making pasta for bullies” story is pretty upsetting. All the bullies I knew would just knock you around & take your stuff. Making pasta is weirdly intimate.

How do you miss referencing the Seinfeld line by George’s father “I saw a provacative movie on tv the other night, it was called The Net with that girl from the bus. But misquote George’s george peppard line.

V funny story

Eugenio Triana

I was 8 in 1995 when I saw this movie and Hackers, then my dad got our first dial up modem shortly after. One of the first things I did was send an email to the National Association of Hackers, explaining that I was learning about computers and good at keeping secrets and wanted to learn the ways of the black hat. Immediately after I sent the email I realized it was an Australian website for hackey sack players and I freaked out and sent a bunch of follow up emails saying I was joking at first and then eventually I was just begging them not to tell the FBI. I was terrified for months I was going to be arrested and banned from computers like Dade 'Crash Override' Murphy (nee Zero Cool)[idk how to do diacritics].

The "umami" fill was my most satisfying laugh of the last few weeks.

Thank you! I thought it was a Rodge Tape the way I couldn't find it

The obscure movie Rodgers brought up about the dog inheritance is called “You Never Can Tell” from 1951.

Artichoke Basille's was so big of a trend in the late 00's that a spot near me, about 500 miles down I-95 from NYC, tried to get away with naming themselves "Artichoke Basil" (There may have even been a small "+" the name for that extra layer of "100% original, don't sue.") That lasted about 6 months before the logo on the door was hastily painted over with a much more generic name.

I have more Neanderthal DNA than 91% of other customers? I’m the Stanger of Action Boyz fans!

Richard Trickle

After the Netflix thing, I was half expecting Stanger’s story in which he learns that people text pictures to each other to take place in 2018 or something. Sorry if this is annoying.

I worked in Chelsea for years where coincidentally I worked in a studio where they shot scenes for “Miss Congeniality 2” Sandra Bullock was very nice to everyone. Also I believe the burger place was “Lucky Burger” on 23rd

The Net aka ANOTHER Zombinol episode

They said it was going to be “oops all listener calls” this month in a previous episode.

The Rodge Tapes with Gabrus is great! It's like a ABZ episode about a pretend movie

Daniel the spaniel

Awfully late into the month without an official Shadow Wolf movie announcement. I guess we’re getting Indecent Proposal?
