* Once again, Skelton proves to be an incompetent scorekeeper, but at least this time it didn’t affect the actual winner.
Todd was so good I thought it was actually R.Lee Ermey.
Can’t believe Busey lasted this long without getting into the N.C.M.B.L.R..
In keeping with the theme I think you guys should have thrown Coppola into the clink in this episode to prevent him from further tarnishing his reputation.
Here’s the scene from the movie:
Todd doing R. Lee Ermery is the greatest thing ever.
This is just me assuming, but I have a feeling the reason ‘Rango’ is top consideration is because it’s so American. I know that’s caused a lot of bias in the past at the Oscars, the one piss-off for me being when ‘Chicago’ won over ‘The Pianist’. (Me, I’m definitely rooting for ‘Adventures of Tintin’ for that category. Best animation I’ve seen since ‘Avatar’, but with a much more interesting story.)
Interesting topic this podcast. I actually ended up learning a lot. 🙂 Didn’t know or consider a lot of things you brought up.
I always look forward to the game. And I loved this playing. Hope you guys play it again in the future.
When I read “Prince Henry Stout” in the episode description, I assumed it was some kind of fancypants beer the Pigs were getting drunk on during recording. I’m not sure if that says more about me or you guys…
It was a assumption based on copious prior evidence.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou Todd for using that speech by Gary Busey from Surviving the Game. It’s one I remember vividly from childhood, and was certain I would never hear again (because why would I, unless I watched it again, hmm, maybe in a double bill with Hard Target).
And you posted it on my birthday!
Many thanks!
