Andy, you were making me feel a little ill when reviewing Repentrator. I was about to gag. Ugh!

Shyamalan should stop doing twists. Seriously. What he thinks helps him be creative is actually stifling his storytelling options and ingenuity.

I never knew any nerd who wore suspenders. I did know one nerd who always wore sweat pants which was a mistake because he apparently suffered priapism. He was also faster walking than running. It was like watching the Bionic Man run. Only not as cool and without the sound effects.

I liked Soap more than I did Benson. The guy with the puppet was cool. In a kind of sick way.

Superbad was hysterical. “We can be blood brothers,” had tears coming out of my eyes. You’ll know what I mean when you get to that scene.

Freddy, if you can suspend your disbelief for morphing robots, can’t you do the same for surfing vampires? It has the 2 Coreys. And Donald Sutherland’s fingernail clone.

When I was about 15 living in Florida I tried some shark fajitas. Whoa-nelly, thems some yumcious weirdness going on there. I think I’ve seen places serving crab burritos.

I think Hollywood needs a giant nipple twist. Involving clamps and other electrified devices. Why can’t we get some quality from the big H?

Can Matt be my Huncle? I don’t wera lingerie, but I can make an exception. :-D

“Jane, you ignorant slut, ” Chevy Chase, SNL.

For some reason, Freddy going through those twist endings made me laugh so hard, I physically hurt.

You guys aren’t limiting your airtime are you?  We need our weekly 2+ hours of goodness.  Am I not paying you enough?

*agrees*

And I actually disagree with the whole Shyamalan Twist Dispute (STD). For example, I actually loved Signs and The Village. Yeah, it would’ve been better if there were monsters, but it didn’t really bother me.

My favorite part of this episode was when everyone went all Twin Peaks and started talking backwards for a few seconds. 

Kelly is a truly multifaceted performer.  He’s got a great band and he’s part of a great podcast and somehow manages to make them both work.  PLTON fo anatnoM hannaH eht si ylleK!

BTW… Benson was somewhat of a training ground for Star Trek series actors.  In addition to Rene Auberjonois on Deep Space Nine, Ethan Phillips who played “Pete” was a regular Star Trek Voyager.

The best ep. of Benson was the Halloween one where they found out the governor’s mansion was haunted.  And Missy Gold was hot back when I was 11.

That’s all.

I so agree - I felt like there was more to discuss on the twist endings!

I also nearly choked to death on my own laughter as I was at my desk when Freddy did that! I think it was the NEXT that had me in stitch’s more than anything, just the way he was shouting it! Another quality moment from NOTLP.

I was totally lost by Benson - I don’t even know what that is!

Benson is the tender tale of a sensitive black man fighting the oppressive regime of gay, shape-shifting, bulimic whities. Benson himself is a runaway from another regime entitled Soap where his oppressors wore the guise of dummies (puppets) and short, gay white men named Billy.

And Freddy had me rolling during his autistic savant tirade on twist endings.

The true siginificance of the twist in the finale of St. Elsewhere

Urkel Destroys the space/time continuum:

Steve Urkel, character from Family Matters, guest stars on Step By Step and Full House. This of itself does not create a contradiction, but a later crossover does: John Stamos (not his Full House character of Uncle Jesse) also guest stars on Step By Step. During his cameo, Stamos mentions his role on Full House. A strange paradox is evident; Urkel’s presence seems to indicate that all three shows are in the same continuity, but Stamos’s appearance establishes that in the Step By Step continuity, Full House is fictional. The words “Full House” were also mentioned in the show’s dialogue a number of times.

Dude, that’s smurfed up.

I know right? Dude did you ever watch that newish silent film I told you about, Call of Cthulhu?
and if not do you torrent?
and if so PM/email me.

Is this a semi-drunken post or code?

I’ve heard good things about Call of Cthulhu. I’ll try to remember looking for it this weekend.

A long time ago in an email I told Matt about Call of Cthulhu.

About limiting our recording time: We did it for a reason week before last; I can’t remember that reason, but I’m sure it was good. We were probably tired, and I always have laundry to do. I don’t remember being told we were going to do it again last show, but I figure Freddy has his reasons and - if I don’t want a sore bottom - I better leave him to it.

Note about Ep. 68 - not sure how exactly this will work, but we’re going to be recording from Pike’s CD release party on 8/25 @ The Poison Room in downtown Cincy. Any and all in the area are encouraged to attend. PM me if you need directions or details.

And now for my 100th post: boobs!

Freddy went a little crazy at the end of this episode.  It was freaking awesome. 

I remember watching Benson as a kid but couldn’t tell you a thing about the show.  I was really hoping for more of a discussion about Mr. Belvedere.  When Kelley starting singing the theme, I lost it.

Does anyone remember the SNL skit with Tom Hanks about the Mr. Belvedere fanclub?

Dude, I was just about to post that same thing. Does knowing that make us Benson geeks or Star Trek geeks?

Word.
