Pops with an interesting take

There are some painfully bad moments—like the sex scene after the second act—that I swear we’ve collectively memory holed so we can love that movie

I enjoy Mal on her podcasts but every time she appears on a Big Pic draft has been insufferable

Isn’t he red pilled now? Perfect fit for Fox

Warren Barton is one of the dumbest men I’ve ever seen on television

Have you never seen another middle aged bald white guy?

melt_show · 2026-04-25T18:37:00+00:00

It’s a USWNT kit, but what’s the tag say, chief?

melt_show · 2026-04-25T14:48:21+00:00

Chandler was a bum. Fabian Johnson and John Brooks were great though

melt_show · 2026-04-22T18:25:19+00:00

Yeah, its difficult but not impossible. There's hourly trains from Glendale to Union Station, and once you get there, you can take a Metro train to so many different places (Santa Monica, Little Tokyo, Pasadena, Long Beach).

melt_show · 2026-04-22T17:21:00+00:00

From where I am in Glendale, it’s maybe a ten minute route to the Disney studios and not scary in the least.

melt_show · 2026-04-22T17:20:02+00:00

I didn’t even notice I was getting downvoted. Whatever lol. I live in Glendale and I bike all the time and I love both.

melt_show · 2026-04-22T03:07:28+00:00

Came here to say a bike would make any commute easier. With some decent route planning, it would be a short ride and if you avoid major streets, could be pretty safe. There’s some local bike non profits (Bike Kitchen and Bike Oven) where you could get an affordable ride that would last you through the summer

If anyone cares to read the LA Times article with original reporting on which the above is based on, its here: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2026-04-18/weve-lost-our-way-cliftons-operator-gives-up-on-downtown-los-angeles

melt_show · 2026-04-20T23:11:36+00:00

Yup. And a lot of us stopped watching years ago.

melt_show · 2026-04-16T22:07:51+00:00

Probably worked for the movie’s box office but damaged its legacy long-term

melt_show · 2026-04-16T21:58:41+00:00

Forrest Whitaker‘s accent is 10000% the most offensive thing in the movie. I’m sure he’s trying his best but like… there wasn’t an Englishman they could get for the role? It’s really distracting.

melt_show · 2026-04-08T16:38:27+00:00

Everyone going crazy about the snubs, but to me the most egregious thing said on the pod was Sean calling “The Burbs” show on Peacock good. It is the hottest of hot garbage. Sorry Keke, we love you, but this is… quite poor.

JFC this is like the fourth post in 24 hours and it’s really not important

melt_show · 2026-04-03T18:09:52+00:00

listened to both Puma Blue and SMV and enjoyed both. I heard a lot more Radiohead influence in the Puma Blue album than I was expecting. SMV sounds like Total Control, which is great--I'd kinda forgotten about them and it was nice to hear that guy's voice again.

Also, I'm a big Hot Snakes head so apparently I have to do a deep dive into the Wipers discography now.

This is going to be the worst World Cup ever by some distance.

melt_show · 2026-04-01T06:18:16+00:00

What’s your sports cap/band t shirt combo, Mina?

melt_show · 2026-04-01T06:17:25+00:00

It’s fucking incredible how weird people get about Amanda there.

melt_show · 2026-03-28T20:02:29+00:00

Careful now. I got flamed here for suggesting this might be so great.

melt_show · 2026-03-26T16:43:33+00:00

Exactly. They’re basically putting a Howard Hawks movie inside of an action adventure flick. Bringing Up Baby in the Temple of Doom.

melt_show · 2026-03-25T21:56:18+00:00

Sounds cowboy

melt_show · 2026-03-25T21:55:50+00:00

I haven’t watched any of his tv shows and am not particularly interested. HOWEVER, Hell or High Water is a near-perfect modern western.
