They have Season 3 DVDs rotting in a warehouse somewhere because of music rights bullshit, and if enough of us show up with *REDACTED*s, we could liberate them.

I mean, didn't they kinda haunt Jerry Stiller to kick off their R30 shows? "Nah, they never play Bangkok..."

There are definitely some quality of life issues that get overlooked because it was so unique at the time (controls are... not ideal), but GoldenEye gave us HALO, which has basically informed everything since. I did get an idea for a Summertime Funtime episode thinking about this... 🧐

It was the first real FPS on a console, had a great multiplayer mode just as 4 player became the norm, AND the missions changed based on difficulty so the single player had great replayability. It is probably one of the most important games of all time, which is crazy for a movie tie-in product.

I love the AVATAR movies, and I hope he does all five of them, but I would like him to make something else as well before he retires.

He has to face Jacksonville three days after Christmas- his children are going to watch Josh Hines-Allen hunt him like The Predator.

This week's episode hits on two of the primary themes of this season: "The End of History" and "Catnip for Millennials".

I have a Word doc titled "Hack the Planet?" just for when I reach a critical mass of things like this to write about.

This holiday hot take comes to you from my expertise on the terrorizing of average people by HUAC, McCarthyism, and the Hollywood Blacklist. You can read more about it in my new book, Selling Out Santa:

Even when it wasn't conceptualized as "warfare", there was definitely this sense that the Japanese interpretation of Taylorism reflected an optimized, more efficient form of labor. This comic was a joke, but also not really.

I have been trying to figure how how/when to do an episode on Napoleon, and the only part set in stone is that I want to end it with "Waterloo" a la "Mamma Mia".

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Returning guest @ptklein.com is here to talk about all things #GoldenEye! We discuss #Bond as a media-mix franchise, remaking 007 for the 90s, and OF COURSE the iconic #N64 adaptation. This episode is more fun than 4 player Remote Mines in the Temple!

It's awesome because if you had him take an 8th grade civics quiz, I would take every single under bet offered. Like, I don't even feel confident that he would get points for spelling his name correctly.

It's the same impulse as using arcane technobabble to appear competent and busy, but if a bunch of 12 year olds zooted out on Mountain Dew were the ones doing it

Witch Hunt
YouTube video by Rush - Topic Witch Hunt

The RUSH song "Witch Hunt" was recorded that day, and the mob that you hear at the beginning of the song was actually a recording the band took outside of their studio of people marching through town to grieve Lennon. A song that is sadly still very relevant. πŸ˜”

Obviously the people involved are DEEPLY stupid, but just the term "war...fighting" reminds me of inventing a "Death Ray" for peaceful purposes
