My 8th grade Geometry teacher wanted to show us the "funniest movie he had seen in a while" after a hard test. That film was White Chicks. Unbelievable.

Count me in. Albeit, I only knew the radio edit version until the streaming era.

Yes, I was instantly looking for Wiseman titles to catch up with (I've only seen "Ex Libris") and tried to see what was on @freelibrary.bsky.social's Kanopy and none seem to be available. My understanding is that different libraries have different packages.

Definitive guy. Like a 6 year period where he was around the 75th best player in MLB.

Hmm. Interesting.

Why does Puerto Rico not compete as part of the US delegation? This extends to the WBC as well. It's not a separate country and this bothers me. Also may feed into BS exclusion narratives like the anti-Bad Bunny sentiment from this week.

Underground arts is fine for a rock club but not a comfortable space necessarily. I prefer Union Transfer but there are worse spaces than UA in town

In mourning. Please give me some space.

I feel like the excuse to not know this ended in 2017 with coverage around Hurricane Maria.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

It's easy to mock, but having seen all of them, I actually have F1 at #6 on my Best Picture Rankings. Very good crowdpleaser with incredibly exciting racing scenes.

I think Zhao misses Director. A bit of snobbery/misogyny.

UK Office is significantly better but hard to admit that because Gervais is such a terrible person who has torched any goodwill he ever possessed.

You could say that performance stands tall even in the great ensemble.

I gently kid. Great movie.

Prefer them to the terrorist group.

Would Mastodon and/or Opeth be welcome?

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Hoping to hear the Maggie Rogers & Sylvan Esso cover. I've never heard it but am intrigued by artist combo and love for the original song.

Dum Dum Girls were a great band. One of the best indie rock bands of the late 00s/early 10s. Forgot about their Smiths cover. #xpncountdown

This is quite poor.

Britney Spears' take on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is both (1) not my thing and (2) exactly the kind of curveball I want during a one vote wonders morning show. #xpncountdown

Yes, most of these are really nice, but there should be more quirk (like the Dread Zeppelin pick) mixed in. Maybe closer to 10AM when I am more awake.

Yeah. This was so intense and incredible.

Original Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah" = best "Hallelujah" #xpncountdown

I want to thank all of the @wxpnfm.bsky.social staff for all of the hard work they put into the countdown this year and every year. We love you!!!
