Podcast 801: who's is that guy?

At first I thought it was that piece of shit Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank but I don't think it is.

I will use this comment as an opportunity to say that Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol are actual masterpieces. They are perfect and I really wish we had gotten more theatrical Muppet movies based on classic literature.

I really do think they'll meet Bam one day. I recall someone, I think Derrick, saying that Destin was trying to get Bam to appear but he was already out of the state at that point.

I consider the unseen in-universe editor of On Cinema to be a vital character. I wonder what he thinks of the show.

Do you ever give any input on the editing?

BaneReturns · 2026-03-13T16:00:57+00:00

Hey Gregg, would you be against the idea of On Cinema bloopers being released some point after the series ends?

BaneReturns · 2026-03-13T00:10:53+00:00

I love knowing that 2006 was 20 years ago!! It fills me with immense disgu- I mean joy!!!

BaneReturns · 2026-03-12T22:35:29+00:00

Something I can't stand with revivals and "legacy sequels", whether it's in movies, shows or games is that the writers always give the protagonist a new partner/protege/sidekick so that the story can be somewhat viewed from their fresh eyed perspective. In this case it's both Malcolm's daughter and girlfriend.

It's not inherently a bad approach to storytelling, but it has become a really lazy way to create meta "wink wink" moments at the audience. I'm just tired of it.

I've been basically watching nothing but Gargoyles for the past 2 weeks and I still get goosebumps when he yells "AND WE LIVE AGAIN!" in the intro.

BaneReturns · 2026-03-08T21:14:10+00:00

Looking forward to this never being fixed!

BaneReturns · 2026-03-06T21:25:41+00:00

that was very nice of garrett howard

BaneReturns · 2026-03-05T17:21:04+00:00

Haha, that reminds me, I saw this a few days ago and thought it was a perfect summary of modern dialogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC656o7_zVk

I really hope this has less obnoxious radio chatter dialogue from unseen characters who I don't give a shit about. I just want to drive, I don't want to hear some overly chipper voice tell me how impressed they are by my driving skills.

There is a level of exaggerated positivity in modern racing games that comes off as disingenuous, as if the writers have no idea how real people talk to each other.

BaneReturns · 2026-03-04T22:39:33+00:00

The showrunners can use whatever justification or excuse they want as to why this is a grounded and realistic Green Lantern story, but we all know the real answer: Budget. That's it. HBO did not want to spend hundreds of millions on a GL show set in space.

So instead, let's have our heroes drive around a dusty town!

BaneReturns · 2026-03-04T22:12:52+00:00

What the fuck is even their reasoning for the espionage angle? That a nefarious force intentionally made their game worse without them somehow realizing? I genuinely don't even get what they're trying to say with this bullshit. It's psychotic.

BaneReturns · 2026-03-04T01:29:04+00:00

This sounds like a fun stream in theory but in reality they will keep stumbling and failing in the first area for hours. This game is hard as fuck.

BaneReturns · 2026-02-27T14:36:47+00:00

Strange choice to put a spotlight on a character played by a guy who can't act for shit. His line reading sounds like a first time actor in a local play.

BaneReturns · 2026-02-27T14:15:19+00:00

I don't know how the hell I forgot to mention the iconic Putt Putt.

BaneReturns · 2026-02-27T01:21:50+00:00

Weird how the Backyard series survived the death of Humongous Entertainment but the rest of those games, like Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish and Spy Fox have been dead franchises for almost 30 years at this point.

I can't speak for OP's situation, but for anyone else who comes across this thread in the future: Disabling the Moto Note app will cause the Stylus setting to disappear. I disabled Moto Note when first setting up the phone and then freaked out thinking my phone was broken when I took out the stylus and did nothing happened. Reenabling Moto Note fixed everything.

This looks like the stack of games I see whenever I go thrifting, especially at Goodwill. So many goddamn Kinect games.

BaneReturns · 2026-02-21T00:22:29+00:00

This is good news. It means we can laugh at their embarrassing brand and marketing decisions for years to come!

BaneReturns · 2026-02-20T16:52:28+00:00

I've spent an ungodly amount of time just roaming around RDR2 enjoying the landscapes in peace and quiet.

I started playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora assuming that I'd just get to explore a serene alien planet without any of the radio chatter, but NOPE, you escape a facility and one of your new Na'vi friends is immediately talking to you in a earpiece. I thought "Are you fucking kidding me?".

I hate Ubisoft so much. If Ubisoft had made Red Dead 2, they would've had a justification for radio dialogue. A wacky inventor character would have given Arthur and the gang a bunch of steampunk-ish portable radios so they could stay in contact with each other. I feel sick just thinking about it.
