I am a big fan of "bad movie" shows. MST3K, Flop House, WHM, HDTGM, etc., but a few years ago I thought, "why not do the opposite? do a podcast praising hated, bad, or underappreciated movies." so I did.

the guest *always* likes the movie, and I provide historical context for the negativity. 😉
...nah.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

she sounds like Burke from Aliens right after he's caught.
Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended

"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

"I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Bill Maher. talks a lot; says nothing.
Not to be relentlessly negative, but let’s enjoy ourselves a bit.

Who is the Dumbest Guy That Has A Reputation For Being Smart?

Musk seems the clear winner, so let’s say: who else might be in the Top 10?

I’ll start the proceedings with Ezra Klein, the Abundance boy. Not impressive!

I find myself liking lots of "bad" movies but you guys were right about Return to Silent Hill. it stinks.

so that's 3 adaptations of The Mist and 0 of The Regulators.
Mike Flanagan is set to write and direct a new film adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘THE MIST’ for Warner Bros.

The story follows a group of townsfolk locked in a grocery store after a thick mysterious fog emerges that hides deadly creatures.

when a scene is too long my brain yells, "that's right! shoot it all!" 🤣
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

I know the folks saying Bad Bunny (an American performer from Puerto Rico) doesn’t “properly represent America” were just as angry when U2, The Rolling Stones and The Who did the halftime show, right?

abierto, cerrado!
Not for nothing, but I was learning Spanish off Sesame Street in the 70s.
To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖
