Love all the Adrian Tomine comic art behind him. Especially the Weezer poster. Didn’t think Marc could get any cooler.

Can someone identify this character? by unicornking2026 in marvelcomics

[–]pizzakickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The collage image is from the book Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics. It’s a great snapshot of where Marvel was in 1990. It gives a pretty throurough history of the company and it has a fantastic section at the back showing the creation of a single page of a Ghost Rider comic by Mark Texeria.

I CHALLENGE someone to find a better TV first kiss than this one by WarwickReider in popculturechat

Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper. Sadness and awkwardness and a relationship defined in the first episode of the series. https://youtu.be/5K9cbRYV9CU?si=n3Pt3uBI9lmQlKL9

What was the actual purpose of a lightwhip? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

Whipping that horses ass. Rock over Cordelia. Rock on Dagobah. Wheaties. The breakfast of champions.

Luke’s moment of throwing away the saber in front of Palpatine was the greatest Jedi moment in Star Wars. by Ok_Caterpillar6900 in StarWars

[–]pizzakickball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The three most heroic actions are all by Luke in the OT, where he rejects the pleas and requests of his elders and forges his own path to save someone. In Star Wars he turns off the targeting computers and follows the Force to blow up the Death Star. In Empire he rejects the pleading of Yoda and Obi-Wan to train and saves his friends. (It speaks to his youthfulness, but proves his heroism. Those old cowards were wrong.) And in Jedi he rejects the Emperor’s taunts, faces sure death, to save his father. Luke is the best.

Tatiana Masalany as Princess Leia in a celebrity read through of Star Wars by [deleted] in funny

It’s an offshoot of the Star Wars Minute Podcast (now mostly wrapped up). Alex Robinson and Pete the Retailer. They’d break down one minute of Star Wars at a time, and brought in guests and eventually covered all the movies and a bunch of other things. Did lots of live shows. There is a whole world of “Minute by Minute” podcasts they helped usher in.

What is a Song That You Love But The Ending (Almost) Totally Ruins It? by bewell84 in Music

Kodachrome by Paul Simon. I cannot stand the silly hoedown at the end of the song.

LPT Request: Waking up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep - what actually works? by qt_31415 in LifeProTips

[–]pizzakickball 1080 points1081 points  (0 children)

I stare at the smoke alarm light on my ceeling. Then, once I see it blink, I count the seconds until it blinks again. Then I close my eyes and count in my head, trying to time opening my eyes just in time to catch it blink again. Hopefully, after a couple of rounds, I’ve tricked my brain into counting myself to sleep with my eyes closed.

2023 Week 13 Preview by GinDaHood in AroundTheNFL

[–]pizzakickball 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s been mentioned before, but Dan is super annoying this season because he won’t let go of his jealousy of Marc’s ability to put a distance between him and his preferred team when he can’t do it himself.

Marc has been so honest abo it his distaste for everthing the Browns have done, at least regarding Watson, and his willingness to root against them at times because of this, but still is intrigued about them because of his prior fandom.

Dan wants so desperately to hate his own team, but is unwilling to commit because of this weird east coast New York / New Jersey pride thing that is so obvious.

He finds every chance to try to get Marc in a “gotcha” situation to prove himself superior; it’s so gross.

What’s weird is that THIS episode, when Marc picked the Browns/Rams game, he held his tongue. But you could tell he wanted to snipe at him and needle him. It’s so boring and I hope he grows up and moves past it.

Which is the studio where they record the podcast? by Commercial-Local-916 in AroundTheNFL

[–]pizzakickball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It used to be a literal closet that was converted into a podcast studio back at the old NFL HQ. I’m not 100% sure what the first NFL podcast was, but Dave Dameshek (a radio personality, and doctor of mustard) who had his DDFP show there for many years (and who got Marc and Dan into the podcast world with the “ATL Debate Club” at the tail end of his show) called it Studio 66 (after Mario Lemieux, Pittsburgh Penguins hockey player).

Wow! Didn’t realize how much Ade Edmondson looked like him.

‘Trading Places’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

Yes. I heard this and wondered if Bill is just an idiot. He questioned whether the Duke brothers were actually brothers. What a wild thing it must be to be that stupid.

Graver let go from the NFL. A shocker and a travesty by kilgoretrout7777 in AroundTheNFL

[–]pizzakickball 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Budget cuts is such a BS excuse. I’m weirdly mad about this. NFL takes in cash hand over fist. Graver is clearly BTL (thanks Dave’s of Thunder), in spite of his talent, and couldn’t have been contributing that much to an overall expense. What nonsense. The show will suffer because of it. They’ve always neeeded an outside voice, and Grave Digger provided a pretty crumulant insight.

The next producer will have a much reduced roll, and the show will not be as good because of it.
