God I got these for at least a year consistently. Still might: haven't looked in my junk folder in awhile

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

The leader of the preppie clique in an 80s underdog film whose dad is trying to close down the rec center

Who the fuck is Bret Easton Ellis? Wrong answers only.

Gene Siskel: It was a taut, engaging thriller that reminded me of Kurosawa's work.

Roger Ebert: Gene, I can't believe we watched the same film. Poorly acted, poorly shot. I am NOT looking forward to Zapruder's upcoming Lincoln biopic

My wife and I have done with at least 3 series this year

My dad would take me to Hershey Bears games in the 80s where Ron Hextall, Craig Berube et al would rule the roost so, yeah

All of this reminds me of this: the weird Married With Children episode where Al is visited by aliens because his stinky socks are a source of fuel

Me who grew up on the 80s AHL: man, what a timid game

Oldman but only with outside interference as Patrick Stewart his Daniel in the head with a chair while the referee's back is turned

Man same. I dont know what you do with him. But he deserves blame for bad decisions but also praise for getting this team to where it is

This is where I'm at this morning. A few tweaks and a new voice or two and go for it before baseball shuts down in 2027

Oh for sure. You can probably add Claude Lemieux or Scott Stevens to that list too. But Chelios....I do recall there was trade chatter about Clarke trying to get him from Chicago in 98 or 99

Paul Gagliardi @pgagliardi.bsky.social · 5d

Ooo. Good one.

Doug Crossman letting Dale Hunter blow by him in 88 also pretty niche and traumatized me

93. The incompetence of the Eagles and Andy Reid in big games. Flyers blowing the 3-1 series lead to the Devils. The Sixers stepping up to draft anyone since 2000

I'm struggling to think of another moment in Philly sports history that's this specifically brutal
