All the Shire agrees, my skills are ill. I got more rhymes than Tom Bombadil.

because of Lord of the Rings. -
Early highlights include Zach Galafalafals being called a comedy "legend" at the red carpets, and Paul F.Tompkins tweeting : "This love letter to the movies is like a hate letter to the audience." -Update, huge props to Paul Scheer for tweeting: “Octavia Spencer’s win shows just how far we’ve come since Billy Crystal performed in Blackface.” -Nice to see the ladies from Bridesmaids getting some props. So sorry that one of them was written to be a potential sex offender of Billy Crystal.

If you could grant 3 american actors a knighthood, who would they be?

Howard will fall off the chuckwagon in a few months, tops. No way he stays a vegetarian. He'll be eating a jar of mint jelly or something and say to himself "you know, I could really use some lamb to go with this."

Dustin, I don't mean to be "that guy," but I think you are misspelling something here. You might be directing people to an erroneous hashtag site, and that would really wreck their day.

He should get a promotion. Instead of being on the 7s and 9s, he should get access to the the 8s and 10s.

I feel that the correct title of this movie is "Slam Evil!" and it stars the Phantom.

Another thing about Shakespeare that irritates me is how impressed people are with the fact that he invented the word "bedroom." Like he busted his brain thinking of that one.

Lucas must have tampered with the color and number of those hats for the special edition!

I pictured this episode being recorded under a blanket with Scott holding a flashlight up to his face. Seriously, it was like a bunch of kids giggling at a sleepover. But in a very funny way.

I love this show so darn much. I didn't even know they had older episodes until I found them on BeyondPod. The Rob Riggle and Harris Wittles episodes were gold.

How did your THEME SONG get made?!
Skeevins replied to pardonmyenglish's topic in How Did This Get Made?
"Wallow in the mediocrity of sub-par art" does seem like a thesaurus-based lyric. Like...people spent way too much time trying to find the longest way of saying "watch bad movies." Was there a word count requirement for this song, like a high school essay or something? -
Top 5 best (or worst) Asian characters played by non-Asian actors
Skeevins posted a topic in Listener Chart Submissions
There's been a lot over the years, from Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's to David Carradine in Kung-fu to Goku from the cinematic partial-birth abortion that was the Dragonball Z movie to David Carradine again in Crank 2. It's kind of sad that Hollywood still hasn't outgrown a lot of its prejudices. Even now, they're talking about doing an Akira movie set in America and they're using that as an excuse to use big name caucasian actors. What I don't understand is why having a movie set in America precludes the use of Asian actors. Last I heard, people of Asian decent were Americans, too. Still, it would be interesting to countdown the most insulting to the least insulting, or vice versa. -
Top 5 best (or worst) Asian characters played by non-Asian actors
Skeevins replied to Skeevins's topic in Listener Chart Submissions
Murder by Death was hilarious. Peter Falk was pretty great in it, too. Interesting thing about Charlie Chan, in movies he was played by both Asian and non-Asian actors. -
Requiem for an Aukerman: The Analyze Phish Megamix
Skeevins replied to Skeevins's topic in Earwolf Presents
Thanks guys! This show and Earwolf in general brings such joy to my work week. -
After listening to episode 4, it became clear to me that Scott is heading down a very dark and desolate path in joining Harris' Phish entourage. All it took was hearing Matt's tale of relationship woes to convince me that Harris will soon be responsible for the destruction of Scott's marriage if they continue to go to Phish shows together. If these shadows remain unchanged, I see an empty chair where Kulap Vilaysack once sat, and a Howard Cramer without a co-host. Why, all you have to do is just add a stirring orchestral soundtrack to clips chosen at random from Scott and Harris' big adventure, throw in a little creative editing, and it might as well be the final scene from Requiem for a Dream. So I did. http://vimeo.com/36451545

I would happily slaughter today's guest for 5 mint milano cookies.

Because I like mint milano cookies. -
Anybody feel that a review of this Ben and Jerry's flavor would make for a good podcast episode? Mike and Tom from Mike and Tom Eat snacks could be guest stars.

The "What if all Nick Cage's one-liners cited an Elton John song?" game
Skeevins posted a topic in How Did This Get Made?
As most film enthusiasts are aware, cinematic perfection was officially achieved the moment Nicholas Cage shot a missile into another human being at the end of The Rock and delivered the most meandering one liner ever. At the risk of tainting the text with a cursory paraphrase: "You know that Elton John Song Rocket Man? Well you're him. You're the Rocket Man!" *KABOOM!* That gets me to thinking...wouldn't it be great if Nicholas Cage ended all of his films by quoting Elton John right before murdering someone? It could be the signature that ends all his movies with a flourish. How many Cage movies can we apply this formula to? I'll start. Con Air: Nicholas Cage to John Malkovich, before tying him to a firetruck ladder and lifting him into the path of an airplane: "You know that Elton John song, Benny and the Jets? Well you're him. You're Benny and the jets!" *SPLAT!!* Adaptation: (As LaRoche is about to be eaten by an alligator) Cage: "Hey LaRoche, you know that Elton John song Crocodile Rock? Well you're him. You're the Crocodile rock!" LaRoche: "It's an alligator! You can tell by the rounded snout!" Cage: "FUCK YOU!" *CHOMP*!!! Leaving Las Vegas: Cage to himself: "Hey, I know that Elton John song I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself. Well I'm him. I'm I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself." *DRINK!!* -
The "What if all Nick Cage's one-liners cited an Elton John song?" game

In Honor of Trespass: "Do you know that Elton John song 'Have Mercy on the Criminal?' Well that's not me. I have no mercy on the criminal." *SHOOTS BAD GUY WITH NAILS!!!* -
The best (worst) home invasion movie is "The Dark, Dark Hours," starring Ronald Reagan and James Dean. I like to think that this kind of hilarity is what Cage was aiming for with Trespass. Just replace the beatniks with crackheads, and there it is. Loved this episode. Jason's soaking wet joke set just the right tone.

Yeah, the English dub is pretty epic. Also, I hate reading during an action/comedy movie.

I really loved the final scene. I'm not sure it was bad, just middle of the road with a few shining moments. I think the shining moments make it a movie you could have a decent discussion about, but the bad parts weren't quite laughably bad.
