Elektra Boogaloo

I need to know: is this the son that is on Ballers now? A follow up if I may, can you swim to Spago from your facility? I was a tiny bit bummed this wasn't another crossover episode. I demand Paul at least talk to Kevin Avery on the minisode! ETA: I bet the JASON X episode will air the 27th so it will be Halloween centered. But I agree, a mistake to miss Friday the 13th.

Thanks for this. I needed a reason to live after Rosa and Pimento broke up last night.

Wow. A hero walks among us. Excited about Virtuosity! I haven't seen it in a long time but I had a friend who was obsessed with Russell Crowe in that post-Gladiator period. And I was like, "dude this is legit nonsense." Think this will be a crossover with DENZEL WASHINGTON IS THE GREATEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME PERIOD? They seem to have stopped podcasting though.

I can't seem to get the download. What movie is next?

I didn't recognize him without the six pack & perfect boy body.

Squee!!

For Hannibal: Julius Carry (Sho'nuff), Vanity (Laura), Leo O'Brien (Richie) are dead. The rest of the leads, including Berry Gordy, are all alive. Also: Wikipedia says our friend Ernie Reyes Jr made his film debut in this. I didn't see him?

I didn't even realize there was a reboot of the game. This seems pretty much shot-for-shot remake of a video game. That... doesn't seem like a good idea? It didn't even work with Watchmen, which is a revered comic book. (If out dated) Oh good attempted rape. I love attempted rape. Very excited to not watch this movie.

New Lara Croft. Was there a lot of demand for this? I'm confused.

Teacher Gillian should move to Japan and date CB! Cam Bert, you should try wearing a lot of turtlenecks and hanging around mailboxes.

What other ninjas are June's kind of ninjas? Not ninja turtles. Not ninja terminators. Not surf ninjas (question mark because she wasn't in that episode)?

We're not there yet but--oh boy is it. The soundtrack is apparently very popular. But Neil Diamond starred in one movie for a reason. I would describe him as "wallpaper-esque." And I just realized this clip contains one of my fave moments, when the lights get brighter and everyone claps, Sir Laurence Olivier (playing Diamond's Jewish father?) looks around like "what are all these people doing here?"

I would like to suggest the 2005 movie SAHARA. It's got an Oscar winner, a plot about a Civil War-era confederate ship in Africa (where so much of the American Civil War was fought), lost $100 million at the box office, there were MULTIPLE lawsuits about it when the book's author sued the producers for "ruining" book or whatever and the producers countersued him, and there were allegations that the production illegally bribed foreign governments. I just feel like it has everything, except a good movie. I am also told the Brook Shields movie also called SAHARA was terrible. So really any Sahara. I am not picky.

Hi guys! Just back from the Now Hear This Festival performance. (I went to the Javits Center ON PURPOSE, something I promised myself I'd never do.) Sad I couldn't meet up with any of you, but I am a strong independent woman who can go to podcasts alone. I don't know when the ep will air (as you may have seen on Twitter it is the 1980 Neil Diamond remake of "The Jazz Singer" which was ROUGH to sit through). I made a sign and Paul pointed it out in the crowd, when June was announced, so when you hear that know it was me, purposefully being super nerdy to get on the podcast. Also they did a meet and greet afterward and I was very sleepy but I said hey to the gang from the forums. Paul said he had a lot of fun with Cameron H today (how are you today, Cameron?).

I'm not sure how the podcast has managed to NOT cover the "Bring It On" sequels. I'm having a disagreement with my friend. I think the third is the best (it has Solange!) and she thinks the fourth is the best (because there is a rollercoaster). Clearly I am right. The sixth one came out this year and it's on Netflix now. I just watched it today. There's a hashtag in the title so obviously it's amazing. https://youtu.be/hDSvDvaqouw

I'm not dating anyone but I always thought it'd be funny to do it to this one which shows how seriously I would take my wedding.

I dont' think I could work weddings, either as DJ or photographer or anything. People are too stressed out about a dumb party. I also think "Daughters" by John Mayer is over-used as a father-daughter dance song. And when my college roommate danced with her dad, she used that. So I looked over at my mom to be like "can you believe" and she was OPENLY WEEPING AT JOHN MAYER (she may have been drunk). And she said, "It's SO SAD!" I was like, "[Roommate] isn't DYING, mom." I read that said "Lockjaw was fine."

Not Bratz related: Did anyone see Inhumans? I've been reading bad reviews and cackling.

My nerd notes for this are just "what is happening?!?" and "why is this so boring?"

Unrelated to this episode: I am reading a book about the Donner Party and it's talking about mirages on the Oregon Trail. You guys. I'm scared of mirages in general.

I bet this is how Monster High came about... ETA: Oh! Speaking of other dolls! I wanted to address June's question about Barbie's age. I know the first Barbie was 17 and a fashion model. But that was when she was first introduced 50 years ago. Since then she'd be an Astronaut and I don't think anyone underage can go to space. Jason mentions Mailbu Stacy, which other posters pointed out is a Simpsons knock-off of Barbie. But Barbie does have a sister named "Stacie." The Barbie wiki says she is the "second oldest of Barbie's younger sisters." Also, June says the Bratz must be taller than Barbie if they are 10 inches, but Barbie is actually taller than them. She is (typically) 11 and a half inches. If you guys do "Jem and the Holograms," then I know *those* dolls were bigger than Barbie. I know this because I used to make my Jem dolls beat up the other girls' Barbie dolls at school.

IS CLOE'S FATHER IN IT???

MAJOR TWIST IN THE FATHER SITUATION. The wiki says "Cloe doesn't have a dad." But in "Bratz Kids: Sleepover Adventure" (which maybe Paul can tell us about) there is a character called "Cloe's dad." http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/movies/Bratz-Kidz-Sleep-Over-Adventure/Cloes-Dad/ I'm really mad it's spelled Cloe not Chloe too. Maybe aliens abducted her h.

The wiki left me hanging. It was all about which boyfriends she had and her various outfits. I didn't see mention of her father. I bet someone murdered him and there is a coverup.
