Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

FYI: Nathan Rabin needs your love and appreciation right now. He was in a very significant car crash earlier this week and is in the hospital recovering. (His family was also in the car, they’re fine, but he got the brunt of the injuries.)

In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

It’s interesting how sometimes you say “Riders” and sometimes you say “Rider” and there are very specific circumstances for each. I would like a linguist to investigate this. It’s also interesting that the league commissioner doesn’t know it’s not “Riders Nation” 🇨🇦 🏈
