Okay, but fair warning: everybody gets mad at me for this.
The Joker does NOT say "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" in Batman (1989). He says, at MOST, "...get those wonderful toys" and everyone fills in the rest of the sentence.

A black-and-white screenshot from the movie "They Live". Billboards on the tops of city buildings say BUY, CONSUME, and CONFORM.
This, but the signs all say RATE, REVIEW, and SUBSCRIBE.
I participated in this!
How long has Amazon had this tip-your-delivery-person thing?
Part Three is called "Love a Dumb Plan," which I think was said with ironic intent.

It sure is We Have Updated Our Terms Of Service season
The word “mediocre” originally meant “of moderate quality”. Not good; not bad; mediocre. It has since picked up a bunch of negative connotations, so that it now means “on the low side of moderate. Pretty bad.”
Anyway, I think it’s interesting that “mid” went through the same cycle so quickly.
Star Wars Opinion: People like Babu Frik because he(?) is a weird little guy who doesn’t do much. The Mandalorian and Grogu will begin The Overexposure. It’s the same arc as Boba Fett, but much quicker.
Happy for Shirley Henderson, obviously.
I like that Beauregard is the first Muppet we see in the new Muppet Show, because it means that original Muppeteer Dave Goelz is front and center.
D&D! A heist! As I remember, this is where the plan starts getting squirrelly. Also, this is part two on account of I forgot to post when part one happened.

And while I'm at it, if you're recommending something on a podcast, repeat the title several times during your recommendation and again at the end. If you only tag it at the top, the audience (me!) will have forgotten the name by the time they get interested in the pitch.
Podcast Opinion: Just tell the story. It doesn't matter if your co-host has heard it before; your audience may not have. It doesn't matter if you've told it before. If you find yourself saying "Do you know this story..." then you should immediately pivot to "Here's the story."
I forgot to update this thread for Friday the 13th Part III last August. It was in 3D and lots of things were satisfyingly thrust toward the camera. Today, the Supermarathon reached The Final Chapter, which I believe to be misnamed. I thought the lighting was great.
If this new The 'Burbs does not have an equivalent character for Brother Theodore, I'm out. I mean, I was out already, but still. Justice for Brother Theodore.
I understand the value of protecting the brand. But making everyone call it "The Big Game" is dumb.
Anyway, I recognize that nobody cares about my little research project, so here's a fun article I ran across where they predicted Zoom backgrounds.
But! The January 1958 issue does have this ad on the back cover. So this MIGHT be Carol Cleveland. It might not. Either way, I'm pretty confident that she was never "Miss Teen Queen" in MAD Magazine.
This seems weird, right? MAD Magazine didn't normally put in photographs, let alone put "Miss Teen Queen" on the inside covers. Ms. Cleveland was born in January 1942, and none of these 1957 MAD issues appears to feature her:

Carol Cleveland. You know, the woman who was in Monty Python sketches? There is a claim out on the Internet that "At fifteen she became Miss Teen Queen, appearing on the inside cover of MAD magazine," and I think it comes from this 1994 article: web.archive.org/web/20210803...
We played Random Pursuit, which is normally Trivial Pursuit with a bunch of sets at once. This time, there was a didgeridoo involved.
This Magic-focused episode of Um, Actually is extremely my jam.
I want a Defense Secretary where I can't think of his name immediately.
Another D&D adventure begins! We’re sent after some zombies or something, you know how it is.
I don't know if this is an original observation, but it seems to me that corporations behave very much like hive mind organisms that feed on money. We finally did it: we created life and will be destroyed by it.
We discussed the movie FRANKENSTEIN (Guillermo del Toro edition). I loved it, but I probably would have loved it just as much with no actors in it. Just give me a good look at the sets. And costumes, I guess, so the actors can stay.

Never trust a pro-cop libertarian.
And now, a rare sports observation: I think it's funny that people think that expanding the College Football Playoffs to 16 teams will prevent arguments about who should be in, when College Basketball is up to 68 teams and arguments about bubble teams are their own cottage industry.
I might be all set on documentaries about Disneyland, too.
I like the Beatles a lot. More than most people, I bet. I am still not sure we need this many documentaries about them.
William Castle would have loved 4DX
