Ah, the Gavin that made me stop listening to country music. I heard Machinehead, put down Brooks and Dunn and grew my hair long.

I guess it would be fair to say your kidney didn't *kill*.

Also, it's been a minute since Conor and Sean riffed something together. More please! (assuming their lawyers can work everything out)
Looking forward to 2026! 😀❤️

I was a little sad we didn't get more bad Stallone this year (Cliffhanger? Oscar?! Stop or my Mom Will shoot!?!), but JCVD & TimeCop more than made up for it! Bridget and MJ are fantastic as always - that modern Sherlock Holmes movie was ... uh... special! To say the least!

Good groups/games can be so hard to come by, and can be such a mental/stress release. Glad to see this :)

In Contagion, a guy's chest and abdomen messily explodes with a sick splattering sound.
"Golden Corral's new slogan!" Kevin chimes in. I was laughing so hard I had to rewind the video because I missed the next few riffs. 😂

I don't use Spotify, but my podcast app gives me yearly stats.
For example, this year I listened to 3 years worth of 372 pages!

Recently got into photography and use a FOSS program called Darktable to manage/edit etc my pictures.
Last week my brother in law, who's semi-professional, was raving about how I should use Adobe's AI slop filled Lightroom instead & I had to sit there like 😬 "Uh huh. Yes, I see that is interesting"

The Beach That Makes You Grow Old movie is so, so terrible & is my exhibit A in how Shyamalan always speaks down to his audiences.
(Alternatively I hold Fury Road up as a film that respects the audience & trusts they will get plot & world/setting without halting the movie to explain it to them)
