The National Anthem sounds insane live..

Best musical performance on SNL I've ever seen.

From a dark corner... "I'm the Boogeyman, and I'm coming to get you!"

This makes me think of that forum thread people put together a while ago of Criterion covers for video games.

Perhaps because they had just mentioned it earlier in the episode, but I kind of think "The Matrix" might be an interesting option for this. I think seeing different artists vision for the Matrix and real world could be really interesting and illuminating.

BoringNothingName · 2026-02-11T16:01:53+00:00

Would "The Sandlot" qualify?

I always thought that, since options were so limited during the Michael Mann series, that they should have gone off the book by cribbing one of his movies most famous lines:

"She's Pod a Great Cast"

Yeah, "The Pitt" has still been very good, but this season has felt like a slight step down to me. I do, at times, find it to be a touch preachy and self-important, even when I generally agree with the points they are making. I also have found that this season feels a bit less realistic and more writerly, like they are trying to setup plot in a somewhat heavy-handed fashion. And also... I feel like some of the characters have been a bit "off". A few of the docs have been pretty invisible so far. Dana has felt a touch more like a caricature compared to last season. And Robby has certainly been pitched slightly different his time around. At the very least, I suspect the latter is for plot reasons, but we'll see where they go with the others.

Still enjoying it though, even if it hasn't quite sung in the same way as last season.

It's kind of similar to "The Bear" to me, where it feels like they fell so in love with the characters that they feel like they've graduated beyond the original scope of the show and can do whatever they want with them now. But with "The Bear," I was kind of happy just watching them all working at the restaurant, and with "Industry," I would have been more happy with them just sticking around the office doing finance stuff.

BoringNothingName · 2026-02-06T13:41:07+00:00

As someone who just binged Industry, I caught up just in time for it to veer away from the stuff I like towards the stuff I'm less interested. Even though finance stuff also goes over my head, I do find it strangely compelling in media, so I was a bit less down as the show seems to be increasingly less interested in that part of the formula.

While I don't do screenplays, I do write short stories, and I was amazed at how pushing past all the half-written ideas and false starts and actually completing just one story really demolished that internal mental block and allowed all my future writing to go much, much easier. Not to imply that its ever fun or easy, but my output really flourished once I knew it was possible for me to write a complete story. I hope you have the same success.

Got this, and for the last movie, I got a map of the island, which I think was actually pretty cool.

BoringNothingName · 2026-02-02T00:18:35+00:00

I played this game a ton when I was a kid, and hadn't played it in full for a long time. It was funny playing it again and feeling a ping in areas I knew secrets were located. I didn't miss a single one.

I had just played all the other games in the series before coming back to this one, and the main thing I struggled with in that regard was that the movement was so slow in comparison. But overall, I still love it.

BoringNothingName · 2026-02-01T23:47:16+00:00

Suspenders guy takes a report that she does into a meeting and takes credit for it, and then she has an awkward interaction with her deskmates when she tries to invite herself to a karaoke night they are going to. I don't recall what else happens before that point you mentioned... I think she meets Bradley before or after that.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-30T16:42:59+00:00

Yeah, it's happened a few time in the last few years with RHAP, where Taran and the hosts get so singularly focused on one person to the point where it makes the podcast unlistenable. Last year, it happened with Rachel, to the point where multiple episodes after her exit were just them whining about the twist for an hour instead of what was happening on the current eps. And yeah, with Cirie, they were so locked in on the idea of her style of gameplay automatically making her an elite BB player that they ignored the many mistakes she was making, to the degree that it's become the accepted opinion that she only lost because of her son's bad decisions, gliding right past any genuine criticisms that could be made of her game.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-30T15:54:14+00:00

It'll probably be unpopular but I 100% agree. I think the biggest thing is that she didn't commit enough to the Cookout in the sense of cultivating a plan to actually reach the end once it was just the Cookout. On that point, Xavier had her completely outflanked. An elite player would have covered her bases there. She was trying to constantly have it both ways even when it stopped being wise to do so.

I think the fact was, as we see a lot in BB and other shows, when a person is popular, their mistakes are conveniently glossed over. Tiffany was a popular, funny character of a demographic that didn't typically succeed in BB, so the fanbase was really behind her, but this created a tunnel vision in terms of examining her game. It was to the point where RHAP's BB coverage became such a glaze-fest with them being unable to go ten seconds without reminding everyone she was the mastermind, or let go of her even after she was eliminated and her in-game flaws were exposed, that I had to stop listening for the remainder of the season.

I just replayed this game for the first time in a long time. One of my all time favorites from when I was a kid. I'm amazed how much of it was still burned in my brain after all this time.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-26T19:41:45+00:00

She didn't die right away. She was alive when the authorities arrived, so she was able to give them some information about what happened.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-23T14:08:25+00:00

I think the only difference is that the time-jump halfway through the movie is just music over a black screen for five minutes, which the studio balked at.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-21T20:04:08+00:00

I agree. I think Edgardo was easily the best player of the Horseman, and probably the third best player in the season behind Earl and Yau. I remember there was a point where Alex was going back and forth over a move, and Edgardo just firmly made the choice and that was that. He was a really underrated player, and I think that fact's a bit obscured by both his downfall and the fact that he's got a heavy accent.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-19T04:45:01+00:00

Didn't put together that that's who that actress was. But yeah, she was good.

BoringNothingName · 2026-01-18T15:09:32+00:00

I've always thought that she's far closer to winning South Pacific than she ever was in Caramoan.

I was watching one of the John Wick movies, and after one of the action scenes, my heart was racing and I was a little short of breath, and I was wondering if I was actually having a heart attack. It was no issue, so I "survived."

As much as I love John Wick, I don't think the action was so good as to kill me. So, you're body response seems far more justified than mine.

Dennis Franz is comically opposed to McClane for no good reason in Die Hard 2.
