A new Staff Picks episode is up! My daughter, fellow documentary lover Vanessa Lanza, joins me to discuss one of those documentaries that, once you see once, you'll never forget. It's 2011's supremely memorable There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane. staffpicks.podbean.com/e/theres-somet…

We're recording a new episode of Survivor Historians tomorrow. True or false?

It's time to show all these new (and old) era players, win or lose, what it's like to be the slayer of screen time. #Survivor50

Right before the year ends, have one more Survivor Historians episode that I edited. This is a pretty fun one. So much of the ridiculousness of South Pacific is discussed in this episode. An honor to even be a small part of it.

Someone put MY COUSIN VINNY dialogue over Skeletor and Evil-Lyn and its way too perfect

Dusty Baker has been named interim President of Venezuela

Well duh, that's because we sent it back in time to change the future for one lucky lady.

Today’s generation will never experience the randomness of flipping through tv channels at 2 pm on a weekend and stumbling upon a Howie Mandel movie about a man who was raised by dogs returning to proper wealthy society in order to inherit a fortune and that makes me sad.

A new Staff Picks episode is up. Fellow Oneders fan David Johnson joins me to discuss a movie that was big in its day, but you probably haven't thought about in a while. It's 1996's That Thing You Do! Featuring THAT HIT SONG that is still a banger. staffpicks.podbean.com/e/that-thing-y…

Ashley Padilla is so damn good on SNL. I almost feel disappointed when there's a sketch and she's not in it.

Ed Harris has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

if any of you guys somehow still haven’t seen Harold and Maude u absolutely have to watch it as soon as you can, RIP Bud Cort

R.I.P. to Bud Cort, who starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, Harold and Maude. If you want to hear me talk about this movie and why I love it so much, here's the Staff Picks episode I recorded about it a couple of years ago: staffpicks.podbean.com/e/harold-and-m…

I've got a new episode of Staff Picks, and it's a biggie. A movie I've wanted to cover ever since I started this podcast. Teacher Jason Rasmussen joins me to discuss Quentin Tarantino's long disrespected 2015 masterpiece, The Hateful Eight. Enjoy! staffpicks.podbean.com/e/the-hateful-…

This will make your day better.

Well this is interesting. An essay I wrote nineteen years ago about Survivor is suddenly getting some attention again. realityblurred.com/realitytv/2026…

I've been working on it quietly, but I'm almost done with my last Ozzy chapter for my Funny 115 South Pacific writeup. Although it's complicated by the fact that I am trying to work some season 50 stuff into it. Darn them for always making these writeups open ended.
