Physical Media Mafia

When Warner Brothers cancelled the release of their upcoming Batgirl film in post-production and then started scraping HBO Max exclusives from their servers last month, there was a lot of “I told you so” gloating from physical media collectors online.  I have a lot of admiration for the physical media freaks out there with endless towers of hideous plastic snap cases lining their home library…

Rudy grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.”

79. FINDING VIVIAN MAIER (2013), dir. Charlie Siskel, John Maloof

“Vivian Maier’s photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she’d collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof’s discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.”

[spacecadet00]

So many of the podcasts I listen to, I wonder longingly why the hosts haven't guested on the others

Why hasn't Geoffrey James done Never Seen It, or Sports Bullies the Game*, or All Fantasy Everything (especially considering they're network mates)?

Why haven't the Worst Idea fellas done AFE? Or Review Revue? They've displayed their ability to improv

Why hasn't Ian Karmel done NSI, Do You Need a Ride?, or I Said No Gifts!?

I could go on, but these are the things I pine for

*P.S. Where the fuck did Sports Bullies go? I miss it badly

Rudy (1993)

“We’re gonna go inside, we’re gonna go outside, inside and outside. We’re gonna get ’em on the run boys and once we get ’em on the run we’re gonna keep ’em on the run. And then we’re gonna go go go go go go and we’re not gonna stop until we get across that goalline. This is a team they say is… is good, well I think we’re better than them. They can’t lick us, so what do you say men?” —Rudy
