[quote=AArdvark post_id=19793 time=1664326125 user_id=59] I wish I had half of the nostalgia genes Rob has. Actually, I wish I had done half of the stuff Rob did when I was a kid [/quote] It is a blessing and a curse. I love all those old memories and hate that I feel compelled to drag chunks of con...

To be fair to the Goonies, did you even try to get on a bicycle and prevent this from happening?

My dad has an e-bike he said he would loan me but I'm not sure it would have the same impact. Even worse would be Vespa scooters.

Not only did we cross over on it, we stood on it as other cars passed by. Apparently the bridge is on the state's radar and is being inspected at least once a year at this point.

I really kind of went all out on this one. I made a 37-minute YouTube video (which is linked in the post above) as well as a much shorter 100-second version for Instagram. Then I wrote a blog post with additional information. I posted links to the blog post on Twitter and Facebook, and the blog post...

I can't imagine I'm the first person this has happened to, and it seems like something that could be solved with a single strip of white or yellow duct tape.

Not a bad idea.

That was a scary day. The official diagnosis was "raw throat due to aggressive coughing."

I was really surprised there would be a market for these parts. Easy $50, baby!

Thanks, brother. I seem to have awoken a few hardcore Trekkies on Facebook with my review. :) I think it's okay to say something's not perfect and in the same breath say you enjoyed it, which is how I felt. One thing I neglected to mention was how many movies were influenced by that series. My jaw d...

I changed my terminology while recording the show, but I call those people "dirty hippies." I don't mean it as an insult as much as an accurate description. I imagine those people are relatively dirty and smelly. It's a very different aesthetic to the modern vanlife people. This is what va...

I messed up the plug-in and have been cutting off the actual posts. It should be fixed now.

One, thanks for all the well wishes. Morgan slept for about 24 hours straight on Thurs/Fri. I think she was sleeping off stress and anesthesia. Two, I turned the RSS feed reader back on for my blog. If nothing, it saves me from retyping stuff. Three, I changed the feed reader to post the first 100 w...

You're the second person who's said that. I would still recommend taking a cruise, just... not this month. Maybe in a few months COVID will settle down again.

The entire point of the movie is "remember this?" so this one's probably not for you.

Ah man, I grew up on the Beatles! I'm somewhere between a casual and a die-hard fan. I talk a lot about listening to Queen, Blondie, and several other albums from my parents' record collection, but I listening to lots of Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, and the White Album, too. I think I still have some of...

A pet peeve of mine is when new documentaries about UFOs and Bigfoot come out and use footage which has been proven to be fake. The most famous picture of Nessie (the "surgeon's photo") was pretty much proven to be fake in the 1980s and the people who took it confessed it was fake in the 9...

It was fun to get back together again.

Two things to mention:

One, Sean and I are back. His recording space is finished, which will allow us to start the show back up.

Two, I'm mirroring the original Throwback Reviews feed (from Sean's site) onto mine, which means they'll appear here and in my master podcast feed as well.

Man, that's how I am with Cap'n Crunch. By the time I'm done with a bowl, my mouth is all torn up. I like your Ferris Bueller theory. I find myself identifying more and more with the adults and authority figures in old movies when I watch them now. Luke literally got his aunt and uncle killed! If on...

The plug-in that is supposed to automatically update this forum is not working properly. I think part of the problem are the YouTube feeds, which don't work like real RSS feeds (it's wonky, at best) so I've removed those. That caused a bunch of shows to repost. We'll see if this latest change fixes ...

I saw that. He said the episode would have been better if I had tied it into stories about the Boss BBS and dial up Internet. I've already done entire episodes about those things and try not to tell the same stories over and over.

[quote=fergojisan post_id=18688 time=1616307011 user_id=116] This weekend is an embarrassment of Flack riches, thank you Rob! [/quote] Thanks, brother. I've been trying to release one show a week (which is a break neck pace for me) but I missed last week and over the past month I've lost three Patre...

Oh yeah, Repossessed was great! Leslie Nielson had to be shaking his head during the second half of his career after doing serious rolls for almost years and then finding himself as the king of parody films.
