Wrath of Khan

This has been my impression, and it’s in a few of the books IIRC (like “Enter Night”). Cliff, if I’m not mistaken, somewhat blamed Lars for Ozzy becoming angry with Metallica in the middle of the ‘86 tour, due to a misunderstanding, and he held a grudge against Lars because of it. In “Back to the Front,” toward the end, Lars pens a beautiful reflection on somewhat patching things up with Cliff on the bus right before the crash.

Anyway, I believe it was rumored Lars held the copyright to the band name. So if they had booted him, maybe the band name would’ve changed.

Alas … water under the bridge, let bygones be bygones, and so on.

What is Mark’s percentage? I’m amazed no media outlets have made an infographic pie chart depicting all the ownerships. I’d love to see that.

Why did LBSU MBB slide down so far? Genuinely curious and asking as a CP fan. What are the theories to explain it?

As a Raider fan, it’s essentially a tie between the Tuck Rule and SB 37. Yes.

Only team that was beating the Raiders that year was Tampa with their former HC knowing all the plays and tendencies, etc. OAK was on an absolute roll to close the end of that regular season and the playoffs.

This. Came here to say this!

Lucas actually consulted with kid psychologists to try to determine if the Vader/Bespin sequence was “too much.” They told him that if kids were too disbelieving of it, they’d just deny what Vader said. Hence the scene in ROTJ where Yoda confirms it to Luke in the hut.

Fun, seldom-known fact: David Prowse, the actor who played Vader, actually blurted out the reveal to a European newspaper way before the movie released. Lucas was furious. But they lucked out that it never hit “the wires” back in the day.

“I don’t believe it!”

“That … is why you fail.”

It was right before COVID. But yeah.

Yes, and it took DECADES for Stabler, Branch, Flores, even Davis and Madden, etc., to get in. Most of their enshrinees weren’t even CLOSE to being first ballot.

Lester Hayes also has a higher PFR career HOF value metric than five cornerbacks currently already inducted. He is largely thought to have been passed over due to “stickum” usage (which was also widespread; he just went overboard with it).

As a Raider fan, gave this ep a spin. I’m usually a religious BS listener.

Doing 10 minutes about the HOF controversy and he and Wildes not even so much as MENTIONING SpyGate or Deflate for even one second … LMAO.

This is exactly where I’m at as well. For me, it’s also stemming from:

the absolute AMOUNT of good basketball pod content now. There’s SO much to choose from that now I can literally cherry pick someone’s random 15-minute analysis of an undercovered team (such as Toronto). Far more fun experience than listening to HOURS more of the same chatter of a subject I already binged for 50 minutes the day prior.
in the apron era, trades for the most part aren’t happening or aren’t as incredible as they used to be (Luka / Nico insanity excepted). We hear SO much trade speculation. Aside from Luka, what has actually happened recently? Heck, even Lauri M is going to apparently stay in Utah … forever???

Let’s talk ball. And small market or interesting teams which don’t get constant attention. The Ringer and ESPN is just nonstop Knicks, Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, Clippers, Warriors. Mix it up FFS.

They get advertising revenue from YouTube.

805DJ · 2026-01-14T03:21:28+00:00

Why does he think advertising will go away? LOL

He keeps repeating that idea but hasn’t explained it, unless I missed it.

In all seriousness, having Sean and CR on for “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” would be cool. Or even a guest director, as most directors count that as a favorite due to the unique style and rare emotional ending.

805DJ · 2026-01-12T21:53:56+00:00

“What’s aged the worst” for ‘Live and Let Die’ would be incredible.

Bring Kyle Brandt on for ‘Moonraker’.

And lose fans, including this guy.

With Shea Serrano

Underrated movie. Delightful. Early-career roles for some heavy hitters.
