If you use private browsing I can't imagine that pornhub would be an issue. Hang on, I'll try it right now and see if it does anything sketchy re popups... Seems fine to me. It did pop up a window underneath the main window, and you'll probably want to full-screen the movie once it gets rolling. Your mileage may vary, as they say. I'd post the direct link here but I'm guessing the nice folks at Earwolf would frown on that. So to sum up: 1) open a private browsing window 2) go to Pornhub 3) search for Fateful Findings 4) profit! Edited to add: probably best not to do this on a work computer or public computer, like at a library.

I always liked it, as others note above it is a straight up bonkers movie. I feel like the underwhelming sequels drag the net quality-perception of the franchise down, as so often happens with horror films (and others, but especially horror).

Why you-! Anyway, good pick, @AlmostAGhost

This blew my mind.

Hi all, it's my 51st birthday and while I ordinarily take the day off and do whatever I feel like, circumstances have prevented that this year and I have to work, plus my wife is working for 12 hours today. Fortunately I work from home, so I am going to spend the day rewatching some of my favourite films, all on DVD, while I work and into the early evening. I'd be curious to know what your list would be if you were in this position. As for me, I will be watching the following (though not necessarily in the order listed): Fever Pitch (1996), Dir. David Evans. Adapting Nick Hornby's memoir of being a fan of the Arsenal football club in the UK, stars Colin Firth, Ruth Gemmell, and Mark Strong. Solaris (2002), Dir. Steven Soderbergh. Second adaptation of the Stanislaw Lem novel, stars George Clooney and Natascha McElhone. Cinema Paradiso (1988), Dir. Giuseppe Tornatore. The veteran director's autobiographical love letter to the movies, winner of a Best Foreign Film Oscar I believe. Funny Face (1957), Dir. Stanley Donen. I love Audrey Hepburn and I love Paris. Stay (2005), Dir. Marc Forster. Not a well-known film but one of the most memorable big-screen experiences I ever had. 2046 (2004), Dir. Wong Kar Wai. Tony Leung and Wong Kar Wai work their usual magic in this dreamy and dark tale of romance and obsession. My Favorite Year (1982), Dir. Richard Benjamin. Sentimental classic based on Mel Brooks' experiences working as a writer on the Sid Caesar show, starring Peter O'Toole. Cheers.

You are definitely a moron if you love Gooby. I think that if you love something that is generally rejected by critics and audiences, because it has a personal connection for you, that's fine. If you want to write a review on Amazon claiming that it's a perfect and essential work of art, which is what a five star review implies, that is inviting the light ridicule that the podcast provides.

That would be awesome. I love her too but mainly for the Soderbergh movie she made.

I saw H&S last week and my main takeaway (my wife fervently agrees) is that we want the next spinoff to be about the group of lady thieves.

I feel like that would be too easy. My theory is that it's "Mr. Nobody", Kurt Russell's character. Or maybe Adam Scott.

I quite enjoyed that season, but then I also love Carrie Coon. She was amazing in The Leftovers. She also has a weird little role as one of Thanos' elite guards in Infinity War (she's the one who fights Black Widow and Scarlet Witch in the last big battle).

I really enjoy her work, I must check that out. She was in a really creepy film called Faults a few years back.

Carpenter's version of The Thing is a remake, of course. I like the recent "premake" with Mary Elizabeth Winstead too, but I agree, Carpenter's is the best.

Listening to the second half of the Magnum pilot episode now and I am here to tell you, unlike the Hawaii 5-0 reboot, the new Magnum is really, really good. I would have liked to see them go with the original plan of having Magnum's daughter Lily be the protagonist, but as a fan of the original I appreciate how they have updated the show and how often they find ways to do fun callbacks to the old one. Since there are far more episodes of MSW than Magnum, my hope is that you will roll on into the new series when you run out of old ones.

Couldn't care less about popular opinion. Don't care about critical opinion most of the time either, because so many so-called critics are just entertainment reporters with a press pass. Real criticism in any art form is not about giving a grade or score, it's about examining work in the context of its time and whatever other lens the critic chooses to use. I do use Pauline Kael's four-star system for rating movies as a way of very generally contextualizing a film - four stars is a classic, zero is a worthless forgettable film, two is average. I think it's a useful system because she was so consistent and thoughtful in her reviews, and that style was adopted by so many other critics who came after, most notably Roger Ebert. Of course Ebert also (to his chagrin) popularized the much less useful thumbs up/down system. I find Rotten Tomatoes-style "ratings" to be particularly offensive, as they really just distill the current atmosphere of making films a popularity contest. People behave as if they are shareholders in a movie studio because studio marketing understands that everyone wants to be on the "winning side". People who are nowhere near working in the film industry track box office results. Actual news has been replaced with so much entertainment "news". It's madness. I think that's one reason why I enjoy stuff like HDTGM and MST3K and on the flip side, Turner Classic Movies - they focus on the love of movies, many of which are excluded from the marketing machine because the stars weren't famous enough, the budget wasn't big enough, whatever.

I certainly remember seeing it a lot on TV growing up. Never on the big screen though, and I don't think I have seen it for at least 30 years, so I might have to go check it out.

Thanks!

Are you in or close to Canada? The Cineplex chain is showing PotP on the big screen as part of their classic cinema series later this year.

I'm sure Ben Affleck's bookie will be thrilled for the additional revenue.

Ha, small world. I have been making comics since the early 90s and zines for a while before that. Working on one now for a convention here in town this weekend.

Nice lineup. At first glance I thought you wrote Gigli and thought I was losing my mind.

Spoiler alert: he does not

How dare you disrespect Tyrese like this

Nice try, Michael Bay. I wish all your screenplays were this coherent.

Yeah, I've seen pictures but never a production sadly. I should see if I can at least find a libretto somewhere, an old friend of mine works at one of the theatre bookshops in NYC.

I saw the Evil Dead musical in Toronto! Fun show. I didn't sit in the splash zone, sadly.
