How are the people that "have listened to every show, but didn't feel the need to comment until now" supposed to complain about the sound quality of the new live episode if there's no episode to listen to yet?!? I've got some great sarcastic GIFs burning s hole in my pocket!

I think 13-year-old me saw most of those movies when they were on Showtime! Man, Showtime was BIG on that early 80s softcore stuff...

Not to mention "Glitter", which was an incredible episode already.

Nah, he was the villain's henchman in the first couple of segments maybe.

I just remembered too all the Indiana Jones talk, like it was some grand quest to unearth a treasure that the world was waiting to see. Well, at least they were doing something outside, right? NERRRRRDDDDSSS!

"Game Over" was okay, but what I knew about it going in was a little misleading, as it turns out that there is no mystery at all as to whether or not the cartridges were out there, it was just a matter of getting to them. It was kind of interesting though to learn about how dangerous that task could actually be, as you've got thirty years of who knows what piled on top of it, which could include hazardous materials. It was also funny how completely unimportant an uninteresting the quest was to the people whose job it would be to do the digging, as mass disposal of product like that is pretty ordinary.

Oh Jesus, this comic tie-in talk has me thinking of "Southland Tales" again...

That's about par for the course as far as movie adaptations go. That reminds me, I had the Judge Dredd adaptation, which was actually drawn by the character's co-creator, so the art was really good. It had to break his fucking heart though, because Dredd had never been unmasked in the books, but I guess if anyone was going to draw him unmasked for the first time, he was the one that should do it.

Maybe the crisper in your refrigerator, or like that butter compartment or whatever it is. It's out of the way and has a lid! Or the breadbox! Put 'em in the breadbox!

No, sir. It certainly is not.

That reminds me, has anyone else seen the documentary "Chasing Ghosts"? It's about a bunch of guys that were hot-shit gamers in the early 80s when arcades were a huge deal. Anyway, a lot of these guys were just never the same when their arcades closed down, and you'd figure they had at least a few more good years, right? Well, at the end, they ran sort of an "In Memoriam" tribute to the places featured in the movie, and in many cases, these places that were hot in 1982-83 were lucky to have made it past 1984.

Come on, if there's one thing we know about pandas, it's that they DON'T want to fuck. There are so very few left of them, and apparently they're all ugly.

Some of the films are pure nightmare factories anyway, so I don't want to have to imagine what an adult film version of "Goobie" would be. Now YOU'RE thinking of that too. You're welcome!

Holy crap, I was going to say Fairchild too, but I was trying to think up an actual cartoon character! She looked EXACTLY like this girl that I was super crushing on in junior high and high school that was nerdy cute before just getting hot. Instead of Amazon-ing out though, she basically just lost the glasses, "She's All That"-style. Super cool person though and pretty down to Earth, considering her dad was in the House of Representatives at the time. He's a senator now.

Short answer: Most of them were in Spy Kids 1 & 2. The ones that weren't had appeared in other Robert Rodriguez films, so there's that connection. Also, Stallone was kind of slumming at the time.

I expect plenty of discussion about how no one has any idea who this Steel guy could be, despite the fact that there's only like one seven-foot tall black dude in the universe that this film takes place in.

Yes, it's very reliant on the audience knowing that Shaq was shitty at free throws in the mid-90s. Aside from that, it is a TIMELESS masterpiece.

This page has been here for four minutes, but I'm not showing the mini ep yet in my iTunes. What. The. Eff. How am I supposed to fall asleep now, knowing that this exists and I can't hear it yet?!?!

Which brings up the question, which I'm sure they didn't think of at the time of the first one, why is Lambert getting the Quickening in the first one treated like it's the last time it's ever going to happen, like he has ALL of the power, if Van Peebles is still buried alive in a cave somewhere?

I prefer my Da Brat cameos to be more carefully calculated, to be more woven into the tapestry that is the otherwise flawless storytelling of the film. She wasn't an unlockable character in "Shaq-Fu", was she? She should have been.

The article was like "These other movies are zero percent too, but there aren't AS MANY bad reviews up", which means jack shit, because it's not like they don't exist. They just didn't make the jump to the Internet age. I can understand why, when it came time to make a website and make some sort of digital archive, my local paper didn't find it necessary to preserve their reviews of "Leonard Part 6" or "Return to the Blue Lagoon" for all times. The door swings the other way too, as I'm sure there are some "perfect" films on RT with bad reviews that also didn't make the jump, which are the reviews that I'd actually most like to read. For instance, it's a well-known fact that Orson Welles wasn't particularly liked by a newspaper PUBLISHER, so it's safe to say that there had to be some negativity out there despite several of his early works rating on RT at 100%.

The reason for his giving a shit about a rooftop pool EXPLAINED!

This writer does nothing but spew Rotten Tomatoes statistics and talk about the Razzies like they're relevant. "Ballistic" is bad, but fuck this article.

I'd be surprised if it even goes that deep. As a child of the late 80s-early 90s, I remember Babbage from Babbage's, one of the early mall video game stores, which I'm sure is named after that guy. If I ever write a cyber-thriller, I'd modernize things a bit and give my antagonist an alias like "Mr. Software Etc.", because I'm all about the subtle winks...

The lights of the buildings at the end spelling out their names? COMPLETELY believable. I saw a video on Cracked a while back (although there are probably similar ones elsewhere as well) that showed why real hackers would be terrible in movie situations, where they did the typical "They're coming to get us! We've only got 60 seconds!" thing, but of course they didn't make it in time, because their tech guy wasted all that time getting their action figures and other bullshit out on their desk first.
