  1. Now I'm wondering what Earth-2.net podcast is best suited for some Mandela Effect discussion. FWIW, my knee jerk reaction to the "Didn't Mandela die while still in prison" is always his appearance at Yankee Stadium shortly after his release. The Yankees even honored Mandela's actual passing with a Monument Park plaque a few years back. I do love combating "didn't he/she die years ago" with "well, they just weren't constantly in the spotlight for such a long time, so that does add to the mind playing tricks" Good example is Gene Wilder's self imposed retirement following his wife, Gilda Radner's battles with cancer. The guy just stayed out of the limelight for a very long time.
  2. That might explain why Aron Rex hasn't gotten over in TNA...
  3. What is Heidenreich doing these days? 'Rasslin' with a "Doink" in the parking lot of a Golden Corral! https://youtu.be/HWubQzo2Z-4
  4. FYI, the Hitmen Logo and unis through the years: http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/439/Calgary_Hitmen/
  5. Was this meant to go up today or Saturday? Since its on the main page, but not on the feed in my podcast catcher of choice.
  6. No love for the Million Dollar Champion, The Ringmaster, Steve Austin? ;)
  7. If I'm not mistaken, Aykroyd was part of Second City's Toronto area troupe, with the likes of Gilda Radner.
  8. Now I have a Jerry Maguire/A Few Good Men mashup in my head. SHOW ME THE MONEY! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE MONEY!
  9. I'll give you credit due to the fact that the character was intended to be Savvik early on in the production process, but Kim Cattrall's character of Spock's protégé turned traitor in Star Trek IV was named Valeris.
  10. Not to get too much into social ideology when it comes to what constitutes a traditional family structure in 2016, but I'd wager that those who still have strong ties to surviving parents and/or siblings probably outweighs those who don't. So despite what you guys, and others you know personally, have gone through, it probably is still enough of a...anomaly, for lack of a better, or less derogatory sounding, word at the moment, for siblings to have zero contact or actual blood feuds (unless absolutely warranted due to incarceration, distance apart, failing out due to something more substantial than getting screwed on record contracts, etc) to the point where, despite it being a trope, and I'd imagine as poorly executed and uninspired as the rest of this moving picture (hard to even dignify it with the term "movie"), the "blood is thicker than water" line of reconciliation can be used without a "how is this a problem that needed to be resolved" note being attached to it.
  11. I know Mike did a "say something nice" type of segment on Earth-2.net sometime ago. I love the explanation of how viral YouTube "sensations" work. Does make you either marvel at the hard work put in to push your content, or repulsed by whatever nefarious and shaddy deals one needs to do (i.e. sign up with things that promise you so many YouTube views/Facebook, Twitter, Instagram likes/etc for a fee or whatever) in order to even achieve some mega Andy Warhol time and trancend their little online or in real life communities.
  12. Want to do an American sitcom, primarily about American sports? The 1998-2000 (two seasons, 45 episodes) Aaron Sorkin produced Sports Night.
  13. Devil's advocate (no pun intended), are you sure the casting people isn't just a weird way of doing an agency name (fuck conventional last names only, lets use BOTH first AND last names!)? Or some fucker was like, "fuck it, credit my assistants, or credit me as Alan Smithee!"
  14. Take away powers, except for time travel, but Q could count.
  15. I'm guessing not from a Hall of Fame Boston Red Sox left fielder from the early 1960s through the mid 1980s? ;)
  16. AVATAR! More serious suggestions, Galaxy Quest, Gorillas In The Mist and Dave.
  17. Almost at the dreaded Season Three...(one more TEoF episode of Season 2) with the infamous Spock's Brain right there at the start!
  18. There seems to have been a trend of late to podcast about a movie one minute at a time. Episodes, at least in the ones I've listened to on the Star Wars films and Goodfellas, fall in the 15-20 minute range. In essence taking Earth-2's beat-by-beat formula of going through movies and just chopping them up in easy to digest forms, with various tangents and fun tidbit and trivia asides of course to fill a 20 or so minute run time. Well, considering what the Tirades did to this movie, I'd really love to hear this pod...or maybe not, I mean, how many total minutes would one say did the establishing shots take up? A Talking Cat? Minute by Minute
  19. I like how podcasts are on TVTropes now, well for a while actually. The long running ones do tend to have some of the same things that would be collected on a Tropes aggregator.
  20. Tiny Lister was in The Dark Knight, so Zeus being in a random number one film in early summer of 1997 is peanuts compared to what The Dark Knight would be! =;)
  21. Also good to compare Henson and the guy who replaced him on the puppet.
  22. FWIW, some Google searching of reviews says that the WWE event portion is a small part of the film, and its more your standard, paint by numbers reckless cop action flick. Probably too bland and generic for the Tirades treatment.
  23. Has Mike ever discussed his hatred of Scooby in podcast form?
  24. LOL! Fair enough! It looks like a concept from what the WWE's YouTube channel's JBL & Cole show would do. In fact, I'm surprised Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett aren't listed on the IMDB page, even in "uncredited" roles!
