FIFA was never that great an organization, but things have really gone to shit for them since they gave the war mongering Orange Shitgibbon a fake "Peace Prize" to assauge the overinflated ego of that man baby. I hope the 2026 World Cup is a massive failure. www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/...

Fuck @barnesandnoble.com and fuck any illiterate asshat who willingly buys or sells a "book" written by a soulless computer. www.nbcnews.com/business/ceo...

Fuck BuzzFeed and its bosses who couldn't see the impending "2015-2018 pivot to video" disaster everyone else saw coming 3 years ago. AI was never the answer, and if Hollywood doesn't wake the fuck up quick, they're next on the FAFO chopping block. No one wants this! futurism.com/artificial-i...

Fuck this fucking guy. I hope he realizes he's fucking white collar too. fortune.com/article/why-...

Although the game does not start for another 25 hours, the California Angels of Anaheim are already down 6-0 to the eventually Las Vegas Athletics. #mlb ⚾️🧢🏟️

I've got soul but I'm not a soldier.

I'm walking my dog through my neighborhood tonight, and in 30 minutes, we've already encountered a live mariachi band playing in a neighbors backyard, and a live Tejano band playing in another neighbors backyard about six blocks away. And this is not a one time occurrence. Happens every weekend.

Disney has sent out flat AND scope, 2D AND 3D, versions of Mando and Grogu and the Temple of Doom, telling projectionists to just play whichever version works best for the screen it'll be playing on.

Say what you will about the man, but he seems genuinely shocked and humbled by receiving an honor no one ever saw coming.

One of the many things i love about doing my podcast is seeing where people are listening from... Tell 18 year old me that 40 years later, people in Argentina, Singapore, Sweden, Tunisia, and Ukraine would want to listen to him talk about old movies, and he would have written you off as a nutter.

Read the stupidest fucking political take of the hour. Completely ignores all the work artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have done over the years to wake up their audienc... oh wait... their audiences don't need to be shaken into sobriety. They know WATF has been going on.

Just noticed one of my daughter's Barbies has flat feet.

True story: Matt and Ben used to be part of a Hollywood chat room on AOL that I was also a part of, and he's always been a thin skinned a little prick. A couple nights before he won his Oscar for writing GWH, we got into an argument in the chat room about how much William Goldman...

This is the kind of AI bullshit that podcasts are being pushed towards. Most podcast that I am aware of and speak to are small operations. One, two, maybe three people, doing all the work for themselves, putting in the work that AI cannot do because these are our voices.

The wheels on the Cybertruck fall off off off, off off off, off off off. The wheels on the Cybetruck fall off off off, all through the town.

A second episode in a month? Say it isn't so! This week, I cover a long forgotten 1980 Charles B. Griffith film, made for Cannon Films and starring the legendary Oliver Reed, which went from pitch to completed film in less than four months. 🎥 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

A vastly underrated soundtrack album for a vastly underrated film.

Imagine all the Taiwanese whiskys ready to pony up to sponsor Whisky Friday with Tony Dokoupil!

I never play the lottery, but if I ever won big, I'd open a series of sub-run IMAX screens in major markets, like 15/70 projectors and 1.43:1 75.6' x 97.6' screens (like at the Metreon in SF or Lincoln Square in NYC) to regularly show movies like Project Hail Mary long after they've played first run

Been watching clips of the Kevin Hart roast, and I swear Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe looks like Rapist 2 and Rapist 3 in every fucking 1980s revenge movie made. Ms. 45? Yep, they're there in the background. Deep in the Heart? Yep. They're there too. Angel? Yep. Avenging Angel too.

Scientists in Amsterdam created a clone combining DNA samples of Tucker Carlson and JD Vance. In his first ever public appearance, Angry Shlubb Carlvance reports on his amazing discoveries during his first hours of life...

Suck it, Republicans, billionaires and reactionary fearmongers!

Why do people hate AI and AI bros? Maybe it has to do with contemptuous bullshit like this ad I was just served...

OH. Rex Reed died. Implementing golden rule. De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

Let machines known to hallucinate answers out of thin air and teach people how to kill themselves and/or others be the final word in what your reputation should be. What the fuck could possibly go wrong?

For a guy seemingly obsessed with his place in history, John Roberts seems pathetically unaware he's going to be judged (pun fully intended) the worst American Supreme Court Cheif Justice. Just as his boss has already been named the worst President in American history... twice.

I want to live in the timeline where Hillary became President in 2016, Kamala was our current President, and Paul, Ringo, Julian and Dhani were touring not as The Beatles but four friends playing Sgt. Pepper live in its entirety along with a selection of Beatles and post-Beatles solo tracks.

If I gave a flying fuck about what was being said on X, I still fucking be on X. And yes, I recognize the irony of posting a screenshot from X to make my point. Stop bringing this garbage here.

The second biggest problem in American politics is the absolute pandering politicians make to low IQ voters, even though neither the politician nor the people they're pandering to understand the complexities of the topic being spoken about. For one, the Fed has tax has been frozen for 33 years.

Happy Mothers Day to all the current and soon to be moms. Happy Personal Choice Day to all the women in my life who made a conscious decision to not have kids. Happy National Clean Up Your Room Day to those who celebrate. And a very special 🖕to anyone celebrating Confederate Memorial Day today.

I've been catching up on The Studio, and I'm still not liking it. I gave the first few episodes a chance before Catherine O'Hara passed, and while I miss her deeply, this show is just not good. It's not funny. This deeply unfunny, which is pretty bad considering the 1927 Yankees lineup it has.

Music to listen to while you prep dinner in the kitchen with your two-year-old.

Repost for the afternoon crowd...

When I woke up this morning around 6:45am, I had never heard of the Charles B. Griffith movie Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype. As I go to bed 18 hours later, I've already done a bunch of research about the film and written five pages of the podcast episode I'm going to do about it in the coming days.

I wish we lived in a world where this isn't necessary, but I need to run a subscription drive this month. I'm turning 56 at the end of the month, and it would be absolutely jaw on the floor amazing if I could add that many new subscribers before I get there. "Subscribe to what?" you ask. Well...

Womp, and I cannot stress this highly enough, womp. Thoughts and prayers to the spider. www.rawstory.com/kyle-rittenh...

This is why so many people still hold him with such reverence. Doesn't hold himself too serious. Understands the difference between a light humorous jab and a personal attack. Can take the joke and fire right back.

I can't make it (7pm is my daughter's bed time), but Chris is going to make this a night to cherish.

I, an early GenXer, actually wanted to watch The Devil Wears Prada for several years. Except it wasn't available for free on streaming for several years, and I wasn't curious enough to rent it for more than what Blockbuster would have charged me 20yrs ago. It only recently started streaming freely.

The Met Gala is my annual reminder modern pop culture has already passed me by.

GWAR elevates everything! Star GWARs A Bridge Too GWAR IshGWAR And not just movies either. Tell me you wouldn't want to have an evening at GWAR-a-Lago!

Simply put, I would not be able to do my podcast as effectively without the @archive.org. The single greatest repository of knowledge and information ever created by man. Greater than The Library of Alexandria! It must remain free for all to use. It must remain available for all.

I just dropped my shit show of a California primary ballot into the mailbox. I am so fucking done with this election.

Post a comic cover you love.

So you're telling me the best way to destroy ChatGPT is... to use ChatGPT many many many fucking times despite the environmental impact? futurism.com/artificial-i...

Solarbabies!

There are so many people running for governor in California, it takes two freaking pages to list them all on the ballot. 🤦‍♂️

Guess Lady Ballers didn't bring 'em in, as the kids say.
