The level of sicko you have to be just to make sense of this title…

New podcast! I talk about my vacation and my best friend (pictured). Also, there’s some Spider-Man trailer talk because I like to stick to my core competencies. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

The new season of Jury Duty has me questioning how they manage to find participants who don’t immediately recognize Lisa Gilroy.

Vacation is over so I had to say goodbye for now to my best friend Coco. He got a haircut and a bandana just for my visit!

I couldn’t believe it, but I just saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada. And maybe you think, being a werewolf, his hair would have been unkempt. Buddy, buckle up for this one….

I promise, this is a very good Tom Waits reference.

If you’re in the San Diego airport and you need, I assume, an adult man wearing a wig and painted-on freckles to play a six-year-old, may I suggest the Univision store?

New podcast! This seems like a good time to talk about Bruce Campbell being awesome. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

My hot take is that I don’t like Blank Check’s March Madness because every podcast is worse when they acknowledge the opinions of the audience. You can mention the freaks on the Discord but then move on!

New podcast! The Coen Bros Film Festival begins with Blood Simple and the Sam Raimi collaboration, Crimewave. I promise I’ll have guests for future episodes! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

Have I watched every Jason Statham movie? Yes, I have. Have I ranked them? Also, yes. Am I proud of this? Uncertain.

Is it too late for Scott Hasn’t Seen to invite me on the Poetic Justice episode so how I can talk about how I got beat up in the parking lot after seeing the movie the day before I started college, so I showed up on day one with two black eyes?

I love when Scott has to interact with video game characters - he has absolutely no context for them. Let’s get a CBB Round Table with Resident Evil Merchant, Duke Nukem, and the “Gavin!” guy from Red Dead Redemption.

Every year I only remember to make Crank-themed valentines when the actual day comes around. It’s my own personal CBB Best Of numbers never getting re-recorded.

There is no evidence that moderate Republicans exist, but establishment Democrats would torch the entire trans community to reach just one of those unicorns.

What’s with all the references to 47 in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die? Is it a JJ Abrams shoutout or is it a way to invoke you know who in a dystopian movie without the bummer of his actual name?

I was expecting another deranged Connor Ratliff classic, but this was a really thoughtful discussion. Podcasts are good!

Because I’m dead inside, this was my first reminder that Valentine’s Day is coming up.

Inside of you are two wolves…

Top three celebrity guests in the event of a Muppet Show revival: -John Cena -Jason Mantzoukas -Natasha Lyonne

I have at least two nephews whose names I don’t know, but I also texted somebody “Lily and Tim are having a baby!” My priorities are healthy and make sense.

New Podcast! The Jason Statham Film Festival returns with Shelter! Plus, a look at recent good TV and the rad Send Help! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

Got my new CBB action figures from @figurecollections.bsky.social - Fourvel is so tiny and stabby! Also, here’s my Series 3 wishlist - Bean Dip, Maxwell Keeper, Quiet the Mime, Bob Ducca, Margery Kershsaw and Donny Gary.

Between Vic Michaelis on Ponies and Carl Tart on Wonder Man, CBB alumni are crushing it on streaming this week!

Holy smokes! My friend @therachel.bsky.social got to talk to the great Julie Klausner and it’s so good and funny. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

New podcast! It’s the 25 things I’m looking forward to in 2026. The Odyssey! Daredevil! Coyote vs Acme! DTF St. Louis! A Statham double dip! Crisis on Infinite Bang Bangs! More! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

Democrats really catching the mood of the country when they can unite on agreeing that ICE should have to deal with more paperwork when they execute people.

The only two things I still care about are the DC Universe and @cbbworld.bsky.social and this episode is the only appearance of Hush that I’ve ever enjoyed.

Mark: “M. Bison, who’s also a serviceman…” Stu: “For America?” Mark: “I think so. I dunno. He’s wearing a hat.” This is the dumbest and best podcast.

Notifications really encouraging a parasocial relationship here. Lisa Gilroy was thinking of me!

I mean, the Comedy Bang! Bang! TV show checks all the boxes.

Nobody tell Phylicia Rashad, but Sprague and Ele Woods have some real chemistry.

The world's richest man runs a subscription-based automated service that removes clothing from photographs of children.

Ponderosa reference in the intro - Lily Sullivan has been Bonanza-pilled. Just waiting for Carissa to have a take on Little Joe.

On the one hand, it’s kind of dicey to cast Trump kiss-ass Kevin O’Leary in Marty Supreme. On the other, he’s not very good in it and an actual actor would have been so much better.

Most-watched actor three years in a row. Also, that’s the entire time I’ve been on Letterboxd. Weird that the shocking number of times I logged Superman was not specifically called out but at least they know that my favorite type of movie is “stunts”.

Scott Adams is the Dave Sim of Jim Davises.

A Tom Waits song coming up on CBB-FM delighted me more than I can possibly tell you.

New podcast! @hayleyleier.bsky.social returns for our annual discussion of the best TV of the year. Severance! Pluribus! The Chair Company! Taskmaster! One of us talks about Daredevil! We had a great time! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/epsiode-22...

New podcast! It’s the annual 2025 Tom Waits Birthday Bash! Inspired by the new Knives Out, I’m talking about Tom’s songs in movies and TV from Hellboy to The Wire. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-22...

New podcast! @therachel.bsky.social returns to talk about Peacemaker Season Two! Bird blindness, the Justice Gang, and John Cena being rad! We had a great time! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Happy Cranksgiving Eve! Be sure to leave out nasal spray and jumper cables just in case Chev Chelios drops by to leave a Cranksgiving gift.

New podcast! Cranksgiving 2025! This year I drink weed soda while watching Crank. You might notice the runtime is quite a bit shorter than the movie…. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

If RFKj could cry what would the consistency of the tears be? I bet viscous

Do I have any cool Bluesky friends who want to talk about the Coen Brothers on my podcast? If you’re nice and funny and we’ve had pleasant interactions, hit me up and I’ll give you a list of available movies.

This year’s early Crank rewatch (for the annual Cranksgiving podcast) was especially fun because the Haitian cab driver is none other than Mr. Terrific.

The hotel has a full-length mirror facing the toilet and now I know what my face looks like when I poop. I was happier in the before times. (This is not an attempt to recreate the face.)

The year is almost over and I think you can make a legitimate case for Pruitt Taylor Vince to get a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Superman.

New podcast! Pluribus, Roofman, and Predator: Badlands - it’s an all-enthusiasm episode! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...
