With all that’s going wrong with everything right now, I am grateful that we have @rifftrax.com “Birdemic” ‘Live’ playing right now on their @plutotvca.bsky.social channel! “Sharknado” ‘Live’ is on after that (same channel)!!! (‘Live’ in quotes to indicate that they did this with a live audience)

Does anyone else remember the old “Joe Isuzu” commercials? This guy reminds me of that character’s older closeted Baptist brother who made Joe the special sort of crazy that he was.

I would assume that U.S. Army regs are much the same as when I served back in the 90s. You are required to burn the flag if it touches the ground aka “retire it”. Maybe Scammy McBonespurs would know that too, had he not dodged being drafted 5 times.

They never thought one of theirs would be able to hack their way into the Oval Office. Now that it’s happened, and it’s one of their guys doing the tyranny, they are cheerfully molting their snake skins often to get tread on afresh, over and over.

We Mikes hate this ad just as much as the old Life cereal ad with Mikey.

Oh about Leslie Nielsen! I believe he was prior to when I got to know his acting. I first saw him in Police Squad and that stuff, so I never viewed him as a serious guy.

Oh, Liam is one of my favorite actors ever! I know he can do it. It’s just hard to compute…

Correction: Lederknacker. I heard it way back in the 70s I think and finally found out the band last year. Here’s “Amok”!! youtu.be/4onlGf3Ppjk?...

Somehow, I don’t see Liam Neeson the same way as I saw Leslie Nielsen. He’s way more serious. It will be interesting to see for sure.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social I completed our 80s movie assignment finally, so I wanted to request my 2nd favorite obscure 80s song if/when you have time to play it! (The first one is a German band called Lederknacken with “Amok”) Here’s Captain Sensible with “Wot?!” youtu.be/9Q6YJ-r5SQs?...

I never knew there was a Mrs. Unknown Comic too! And there was even a smooch sound effect when they kiss, despite paper bags being in the way.. 😂

Just one more thing about this movie, Sluggo. You would never have to tell me that Della Barris (R.I.P.!!) was his daughter when watching this movie. She is a mini-Chuck 100% with blonde hair. I wish we all had a partner like Red, and Rip Taylor?! WTF this is the best.

Mike Modlin @voiceofmod.bsky.social · Jul 30

Oh man, I really loved that movie and also loved that all the real-life people around Chuck were in the movie too. Especially Gene Gene the Dancing Machine. He was my kind of superhero when I was a kid.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social Currently working on our 80s movie assignment and am loving The Gong Show Movie!! I loved the show back in the day and had no idea this movie even existed!! It’s probably better this way, since I am getting all the jokes as an adult now. Thank you for this!!

Amazing! I was in a movie called Fire Birds with him in 1990. Here’s a squinty image of him (and I) if you ever need one. 😃

I’ve had quite a few of these little Eastern Bluebirds hanging out in my backyard/on my fence over the Spring 😃 I’m always stunned to see them - they are so vibrantly blue, it’s incredible.
