Hey hey, it works!

Alrighty then, let’s get into some of the good recent posts on Bluesky.


Phone Bad. Children lazy nerds.

This started from Discourse about a book by some guy who basically says “phones are the problem for why kids don’t leave the house enough these days”. Apparently it ignores….***CARS***.

Anyways, keeping your distance some discourse of dumb shit is good, but I loved this many years old graphic that Doug Gordon (of The War On Cars fame) shared.

Harry Hole

I know it’s technically a terrible movie, but I love it. Watch this 45min walk-through of the horrendous Editing of The Snowman.

DETECTIVE HARRY HOLE: Its me, norways famous detective, Harry Hole. in Norway it's a normal name.POLICE CHIEF: Hole, I'm glad you're here, and that your name is normal, in our culture. this is a hell of a murder

Look at this baby lol

Might as well post that picture of my son when he was a baby. The one where he look like he was born playing darts. In 1957. Looking like he just got some bad news about a tractor trailer his nephew was minding for him. With a face like my dad's when I tell him about my podcast.

Babe

When magazines were fun (and had money): I was going through a drawer and just found one of the more lunatic things I ever greenlit. These are outtakes from a 1996 Oscars photo shoot we did at Entertainment Weekly–one if Babe won an Oscar, one if it didn't.

Aldi Frozen 100% Ground Beef Patties (85 Lean/15 Fat) – Review

100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers. 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers.

Beef.

Turns out if you get a nice burger from a local restaurant once a week at $13 (+drink(or two) and tip), that money adds pretty quick!

Luckily I found these frozen burgers at Aldi a few months ago. At about $12 for the entire bag, with cost of the bun and other toppings, I’m eating ~$2.00 burgers at home. Those are savings you can take to the bank. And also, arteries you can be assured are being clogged.

Listen, we (Americans) eat too much red meat. It’s killing us all, slowly. Including me. With the ease it is to cook these, how cheap, and ultimately a satisfying dinner, I often try to switch out these 100% PURE BEEF Beef Burgers with the frozen Turkey Burgers Aldi’s sometimes carries, or frozen chicken breasts. Both can be classed up a bit, easy to make, and are also the “burger” handheld form, which can’t be beat.

Alright, so the preparing and toppings…

Burger: Largely follow the instructions on the bag to cook in oven. 400 Degrees. I place the one or two burgers in a aluminum foil “pan” I create so the juices are easy to clean up, and don’t need to clean the sheet pan. Roughly 7 minutes on one side, flip, about another 6-7 minutes. THEN flip again, and put cheese on burger, for roughly another 1 minute in the oven. Check on until cheese as melted as you’d like. I actually typically put diced onions on the burger and then the cheese on top of that, so the cheese melts around the onions. Very good.

Toppings: As noted above I’ll go with some cheese (swiss or provolone usually), diced or not-so-diced raw white onions, tomato slices, mayo on the side of one bun, and ketchup on the other. If I’m feeling especially unhealthy, and I have them on hand, I’ll put a layer on each end of Kettle chips, for that extra crunch texture.

Rating: 3.5/5. Not bad. Tastes about what you’d expect from any frozen burger. Class it up with your bun and topping choices, and you’re having a good time. And remember, moderation!

Links: Watch on Pluto.tv


Face/Off (1997)

About: Maybe the most perfect Camp Thriller movie of the year 1997 (and even all of the 90s)? Great performances from both Cage and Travolta. A must watch if you have never seen.

Links: Watch on Pluto.tv


Titanic (1997)

About: Recently watched this and it absolutely slaps. It doesn’t feel like a 3 hour and 15 minute movie. Remember the dual VHS version of this from when it was first released? Take me back.

Links: Watch on Pluto.tv


Clue: The Movie (1985)

About: Clue walked, so nearly 30 years later, Barbie could run. Clue is a very fun and silly murder mystery comedy. A “classic” comedy, you could say.

About: See early Andy Samberg in this silly romp.

Links: Watch on Pluto.tv


The Faculty (1998)

About: Jon Stewart showing up is a surprise, but not as much of a surprise as how he meets his end in this late 90s Teen horror/thriller. You should watch it. Now. Go.

Black Adam (2022)

About: I don’t keep up with the DC Universe but thought this movie was fun enough. Lightning and running around. Turn your brain off for a couple of hours.

Links: Watch on Tubi


The Batman (2022)

About: It took me a couple of watches but I came around to Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Paul Dano and the rest of the stacked cast has a lot to do with that.

Links: Watch on Tubi


Gremlins 1 & 2 (1984)

About: They just don’t make movies like this anymore. Do your kids a favor and watch this with them some Friday Movie Night.

Links: Watch on Tubi


Heat (1995)

About: One of the 90’s premier Action Films. Or just watch the heist/shootout scene on Youtube.

Links: Watch on Tubi


A Knight’s Tale (2001)

About: There has never been, and never will be again, a better use of a Queen song in a “Middle Ages Film”. I beg you to watch this 2 minute Youtube clip from A Knight’s Tale (no spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hi8IWqic0U. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in The Last Duel could never.

Paddington 2 (2017)

About: An incredibly cute and wholesome movie. Fun for the whole family. Or in my case, a 36 year old man home alone on a Friday night with little else to do.

Don’t worry about seeing Paddington 1 first, it’s pretty easy to get: there is a cute little bear that lives with a family and he’s nice and he gets into his little hijinks.

The 5 Best British TV Shows To Stream For Free On Tubi

I love me some British TV. I’ve recently been on a Taskmaster and Grand Designs binge. But also enjoy some of their Crime/Drama/Thriller shows. Tubi has quite a few of the best. Check out the list of Best British Shows To Stream On Tubi below! Want to jump directly to the British Crime TV listings? https://tubitv.com/category/british_crime_tv

*Check Out Our Other Tubi Lists*


The Fall

About: Arrest me, Scully, I’ve been a bad, murdering boy. (Come on, Mike. get it together.). The Fall is a great serial killer thriller. Series 3 is a bit of a snooze but first two are nail-biters.

Luther

About: A detective that fully engulfs himself into his work because he’s flawed and ultimately unhappy with his life and himself? You got it. When I first got Netflix steaming in around 2009, I recall this being one of my first introductions to British TV.

Links: Watch on Tubi


Broadchurch

About: Two detectives that fully engulf themselves into their work because….you get it. This shows has some truly upsetting plot lines but it’s the best I’ve ever seen David Tennant, and Olivia Colman has been doing the work (well) for decades. Probably my favorite from this list.

Links: Watch on Tubi


Top Gear

About: For how much I hate cars, it’s puzzling why I enjoy this show so much. Not to mention how much I loathe Jeremy Clarkson. But before they went full non-sense and military propaganda, there was some great TV in there.

Doctor Who – Classics

About: I will admit it, Doctor Who doesn’t do it for me. But if it’s your bag, see the early, “Classic” Series all the way up through 1989.
