Episode #76 - Third Annual Awards Floptacular

We've broken our curse, with our first Academy Awards-in-review show that doesn't have terrible audio problems, although it has our usual staying-on-topic problems. Meanwhile Stuart reveals looking-glass Hitler's nefarious plot, Elliott talks about previous winners of the Twix-sponsored Twixie Awards, and Dan unravels a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in Inspector Gadget.

0:00 - 0:53 - Red carpet introduction
0:54 - 35:51 - In contrast to EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET and our usual tendency to hate on things, we actually didn't mind the Oscars.
35:52 - 45:25 - Flop House Movie Mailbag
45:26 - 48:20- A brief pledge drive
48:21 - 55:56 - Dan tells the greatest story in American letters. Suck it, Twain and Hemmingway.
55:57 - 59:47 - Plugs, goodbyes, theme, and outtakes.

Listen to Dan discuss the truly terrible young adult book City of Bones as a guest host on the Read it and Weep podcast. Also, it's a two-parter, so he'll be back next week, even grumpier from having to deal with a few hundred more pages of dreck.

Great show, I agree with most of the opinions on The Oscars. Nice to see that Elliott will drop more F bombs when talking about something he didn't hate watching.

However, Dan's story, and then the resulting reaction to it, is one of the best moments in the podcast's history.

btw: what if Penny met a dinosaur?

Apparently, she would get tied up by the dinosaur.
