If three people host a podcast all three should be in a constant state of paranoia about being betrayed by the other two
"But first, a word from our sponsor..."
I thought it was a really obvious tale saying it's bad to escape into nostalgia/pop culture instead of focusing on real world politics. The world clearly got worse because people cared more about electing Wil Wheaton Internet President!

But then I found out the author just loves 80s pop culture
Michael Crichton's dad, telling him why he should focus on medical school instead of writing novels:
"Invoking the Shaggy Defence around the wife, eh? Classic Rick The Chick Magnet!"
One day he'll believe he's surpassed Arnie in Hollywood and embark on his carefully polled political career where he's chosen a side based on how likely he thinks he'll get a presidency. It will fail and then we will finally see the man he's been hiding under the PR all these years

He'll be free
That show was far too prescient for such a silly concept. You could easily tie it to the Soft Disclosure conspiracy theory revolving around Stargate SG-1. The bugs got through the Stargate and they tried warning us without coming clean about the aliens
The Ronald McDonald House charity started running when he was a kid, to help parents have a place to stay near the hospital where their kids were

He's managing to be a bigger clown than Ronald McDonald himself!
Rush is such a good casting that I am now surprised he hasn't already done it, it feels like he must have!
Now that I think about I think the character's brother wore the same type of outfits and that dude looked fine somehow, so you're right
The costume department made him look really stupid, tho, so that was fun
He was the big villain for a whole season of Justified, which is the biggest part I've seen him in

He was meant to be a scary Floridian swamp guy showing up in Kentucky and he could not pull it off AT ALL, it the worst acting in the history of the show. Dude was outshone by literally everyone
It's actually a knockoff made of cheap brass that oxidises really quickly, especially in sweaty hands
We should have had a Die Hard/Gremlins crossover since they're both Christmas comedies
I hate to say it but I recently listened to Small Gods and I think Serkis managed to overact, something I've never seen with an audiobook before. Nighy does the footnotes and every time it made me wish he'd done the whole book

But it was still listenable where a robot voice wouldn't be!
Reddit loves to reference 'the poop knife' and for YEARS I assumed they were talking about him

The Reddit story isn't as good
Loved the chapter of Atlas Shrugged where she had a random cigarette salesman make a long speech to the MC about how smoking totally isn't an addiction and thus a weakness, but actually smoking makes you like Prometheus because you've captured fire at your fingertips and it makes you think good
Which is why I don't get how he hasn't made a Creature From The Black Lagoon remake yet. You just know he'd invent a new underwater camera and diving rig just to make it look as good as humanly possible, creating a new hit Halloween masterpiece!

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
I can't believe they just doxxed Catherine Zeta-Jones like that!
The computer they're in is running out of ram, causing the programs to lag when there's lots going on like during fight scenes, causing the slowmotion!
I converted all the bandcamp flacs I had to opus and mp3 to try it out and the size difference really got staggering after a couple of albums!
What you wanna do there is go with opus, since a lot of the videos have it. Better sound/size. Unless you're actually putting them on an mp3-player that can't handle such a modern codec, of course

It's incredible how many opus tracks you can fit on a phone
You just made me imagine a sequel made by Zack Snyder. He'd embrace the music video aspect because that's what he does best and somehow create the first hit Tron movie, against all odds
