Hi I’m Brian and I host, write, and produce shows about video games, movies, and other assorted pop culture nonsense 💜

"And they don't even have the Magneto in his beautiful glass prison anymore. We all know Magneto. I call him Magnet Man. They're saying he's out of the glass jail because the Democrats gave him a wood one. Very bad. Meanest guy in Marvel and he has a nice wood house, they say maybe even a wood car."

I’m sure tons of folks got it in the Switch 2 bundle but it’s kind of wild not seeing Mario Kart World (or any Mario Kart game) on this list!

There’s a very not great but still fun as hell 1995 Michael Crichton movie about a team of extremely greedy people mining the Congo for financial gains and they all get ripped to shreds by big violent gorillas and all we can do is hope the same thing happens now.

So excited for this, especially after the phenomenal demo. Take all the time you need. Much love to the whole studio!

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL:

You know, I gotta say they're really great in there, they're just like us. I thought it was only gonna be women in chains and a trapdoor monster they feed slaves to but like, they also have a band that plays cool music.

You do you (and I wouldn’t eat it and yes I would do a cartoonishly high Italian accent about it) but I think orange slices under the heat of a pizza oven would do weird things. Get some sweet peppers instead, or add pickled ones after it’s cooked!

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) and there's a part where a violent storm destroys their homes and sends Pooh & Piglet spiraling towards a waterfall while a totally oblivious Owl decides to tell a story and wait for someone else to help and I thought.. hey, that's Chuck Schumer!

I for one expected better from three of the worst living people on planet earth.

Need to show you all this 1991 soft vinyl Super Mario coin bank I picked up at a vintage toy store recently. I believe he was a promotional item given out to people that signed up for a savings account at a bank chain in Kyoto. He’s awesome!

Hi sorry this was my fault. My friends and I like to hang out in escalator buildings after everyone leaves to see how much stuff we can make ride the escalator. Sandwiches, bags of coins, soup that isn’t in a bowl. Things of that nature. It mostly just gets jammed up in there. Bad? Yes. Funny? Very.

Donald Trump and Melania get on an escalator at the UN and it immediately stops working 🤣

Of course! Bring Die Hard into your own home (with a vengeance)

Brian Altano @brianaltano.bsky.social · 18d

Fuck yes. Cannot wait for this.

Found someone on Etsy that sells these signs and lets you customize them and they made me this no questions asked.

Brian Altano @brianaltano.bsky.social · 18d

One of my favorite things I have in my kitchen is this custom print that guests think is a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign until they actually read it.

We asked four professional chefs which store bought mayonnaise tastes best and they said please, when will you let us out of this prison, we can't answer any more of these questions and we haven't seen our families in weeks.

Did you sell these at a PAX a million years ago? Because I've had a couple of little ghosts like these on my toy shelves forever but I'd totally forgot where they came from!

Hey thank you so much! We had SO much fun making that one and we definitely wanna do more episodes like that so thank you for rocking with us!

They're probably going back to the island.

These miserable little imp men are so scared of cities, public transportation, seasoned food, a trans kid five states over who sometimes plays kickball in her own backyard etc. Just terrified, awful ghoul people who make everything they touch worse and add nothing of value to anything anywhere.

Mike Johnson: "I cannot for the life of me understand how the Democrats think this is some kind of winning political message. Yield man! Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced."

Haha, all good! Last year they had a robot that made iced coffees near the cafeteria but I think they sent him to the scrap heap this year.
