2021-11-23 15:56:21 +0000 UTCBen, if you're serious about the rock box, I have a big rock near my house and a polaroid spirit 600 ready to check North Carolina off the list for you. Also, as far as anime goes for everyone, FLCL or Fooly Cooly is a great 6 episode miniseries with an INCREDIBLE soundtrack. It's extremely goofy, dense, and fun, with a great English dub to boot. I wanna say it's free to watch on the Adult Swim app right now.

2021-01-28 04:08:39 +0000 UTCSome great games named here! If you need more picross puzzles, I highly recommend the Picross S games. Developed by Jupiter, on the Switch, perfect controls and music. Multiple modes and so calming at the end of the day.

2021-01-18 19:53:13 +0000 UTCThe Bechdel Cast has done two episodes on the Santa Clauses with Grace Thomas; and it would be criminal for anyone not to listen.

2021-01-16 19:42:19 +0000 UTCI hope Ben plays all of Paradise Killer and reports back. Incredibly weird, incredibly good game. I recommend Joe Skrebels review of it if your curiosity is piqued.

2021-01-16 15:08:38 +0000 UTCI just listened to the episode on The Ice Storm, and I gotta admit, was a little disappointed that in the discussion of Christina Ricci/Thora Birch/Aubrey Plaza they never made it to "Gothy round face"

2021-01-13 01:18:10 +0000 UTCI also came here to say that the Kings now play at Golden 1, you beat me to it. The Kings, a team that’s been worse than the Knicks over the last 15 years...

2021-01-12 19:30:03 +0000 UTCDan Harmon had an entertaining rant about the Tim Allen Santa Claus movies as well and I was surprised with how aligned his takes were with yours (other than liking the principal love interest): https://youtu.be/7L0HfBOhZXU

2021-01-12 17:57:53 +0000 UTCI'm not a huge anime guy, but if people are strapped for in-quar series to watch and you've never watched Cowboy Bebop your animated series toast remains unbuttered to satisfaction.

2021-01-12 13:46:17 +0000 UTCI miss the name Sleep Train Arena. They had a train horn go off after a 3 pointer. Now it’s golden 1 center (local bank)

2021-01-12 06:04:26 +0000 UTCThank you for the layered guitars and funky drum groove on the new version of the theme song!

2021-01-12 03:51:50 +0000 UTCLove the updated intro music! Also, I’m so ready for the vat Bennaissance

2021-01-12 03:26:19 +0000 UTCI think the Fargo score might have been ineligible because it’s mostly based on existing Norwegian folk music, and a lot of the other Coen/Burwell scores are easy to overlook - it feels like they work with him specifically because he doesn’t control the tone of a scene as overtly as most major composers

2021-01-12 01:02:18 +0000 UTCI too watched Avatar finale on election night! Pretty crazy

2021-01-11 20:47:28 +0000 UTCI must have missed David's spreadsheet love but... that's me. Especially spreadsheet for movies for each year, putting new movies in after I've watched them. Me. Scary. Nice.

2021-01-11 20:28:57 +0000 UTCalso if Blank Check ever did a Satoshi Kon miniseries I could die happy
Christina Lohr
2021-01-11 15:32:28 +0000 UTCI absolutely agree with Griffin on Mary Tyler Moore! I watched the series over the majority of last year and it was such a wonderful experience
Christina Lohr
2021-01-11 15:27:01 +0000 UTCI’ve long said The Santa Clause 2 is far superior to the first one so I feel so validated. Elizabeth Mitchel is terrific.

2021-01-11 10:09:06 +0000 UTCHow many Patreon subscribers do we need to get a table read of Ben's Assassin's Creed spec script?

2021-01-11 09:07:13 +0000 UTCI loved The Great Movie ride. The Alien section scared the shit out me for many years and after going on it as a kid, I avoided it until I was way too old (well into my teens). I wonder if Disney got complaints because when I was brave enough to go on it again the first Alien in the section just kind of hung out in the ceiling, but as a kid I vividly remember it popping down more. Same with the second Alien that was in the wall. As a kid I remember it lunging toward the vehicle, but later it just kind of hung out in the wall shrouded in steam. Between TGM and Alien Encounter it seems Michael Eisner just loved the Alien franchise and wanted to scare the hell out kids like me. And I was way too chicken to ever go on Alien Encounter.
