Re: Magnum Rewatch 22 - Memories Are Forever
Great to see the podcast back! I must admit that I completely missed that his wife was supposed to be French. I spotted that she didn't look very Vietnamese, but that could have just been bad casting. It didn't make any difference to my enjoyment of the episode though. Just posting as an American wh...

Re: Fight the Future 09 - The Maze Runner
I found the book frustrating. The author inexplicably has the characters withhold information and rules from the new guy, and then they punish him because he didn't know the rules. Sounds like a normal day at high school to me - I never had any idea what game everyone else was playing, I just knew ...

Re: Fight the Future 08 - A Boy And His Dog
It's so silly when people think something is bad just because it didn't meet their very narrow expectations. That's not to say everyone needs to like what I like (and only that)... just learn to distinguish 'I disliked' from 'I thought it was objectively bad.' I agree, and do actually like Hunger G...

Stretching is good, it just took me a little by surprise - now I know to expect it, the next few podcasts will go a bit easier :) Battle Royale, isn't that the Hunger Games clone? ;) lol, but it's a better clone because it has none of the pointless story...

Re: Fight the Future 08 - A Boy And His Dog
I've not seen the film or read this story (and not sure I want to after hearing the description, despite it being written by Harlan Ellison), but how is this YA? I'm not just talking about the absence of modern tropes like overwrought / unnecessary love triangles or 2 pages of story getting stretche...

Re: Magnum Rewatch Ep 21 - From Moscow to Maui
It's amazing how cheap old dvd box sets are now - I recently bought complete sets of Knight Rider, A Team, Xena and Quantum Leap for approx £30 ($60 CDN) each! No idea when I'll have time to watch them all, but it's great to know I can dip into the sets when I want to. Unfortunately they never did a...

Re: Magnum Rewatch Ep 20 - The Woman on the Beach
It's one thing for a place to be haunted, but haunted by an irritating German groundskeeper? The terrible, moderately racist '80s sitcom writes itself. His accent was so poor, I was expecting some kind of twist where he was revealed to be Sarah's old lover, still living on the estate until he finds...

Apparently the UK chose 999 deliberately because it was awkward to dial - back in the days when the numbers were sent using electric pulses down the copper wire, it was considered incredibly unlikely that you would get 27 pulses accidentally, whether it was due to someone dialling really quickly, or...

According to wiki (I know, I know...) and the person with the keys to the McDonalds twitter account, Beej is completely right - Grimace is supposed to be a milkshake.

Amazing video! And great job with the camera work, especially with things like the "Graham getting up" scene. I'm curious about the teaser with Paul setting up the streaming office though - was that made as a one-off, or is there a 12 minute directors cut of this cH episode somewhere? I wa...

Re: I, Horner
So, given Ian's penchant for odd rhythm games, do you think there's any chance we could get a Gitaroo Man stream? I suppose it would depend on if they have a way to stream PS Vita/PSP games (and if Ian even wants to play it). I second this request. Gitaroo Man is my second favourite rhythm game aft...

I really enjoyed this series, you did a great job making it, and it felt like the judges were really supportive and constructive of all entries, which is a really refreshing change from all the reality garbage we get nowadays!

You can see the reflection of the green screen in Kathleen's glasses, so I guess they built a real set in front of the garage door.

I know we're in the realms of completely boring trivia here, but since you mentioned the change of theme music again... :D Going by the UK dvds, Thicker Than Blood is the first episode that used the new music in the opening titles, but they started using it over the end credits from Ugliest Dog.

Like the Magnum podcast, I found this surprisingly interesting. I do wonder how long it will take for each episode to devolve into "it's only like this because the story wouldn't work otherwise, and because the writing has the subtlety of a sledgehammer", but I'm more than happy to keep li...

Re: LRRcast Guilty Pleasures Part 1
As another fan of the Riddick films, I can thoroughly recommend watching Dark Fury, the animated short which is set between Pitch Black and Chronicles, and attempts to make the jump between the two stories a little less "crunchy". Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make Chronicles any less stu...

Aguire was the only game out of the 8 where I had less clue about what the game was about after the brief explanation, than I did before starting to watch the video.
