Pulp. A young Michael Caine and an old Mickey Rooney with a sexy kitten. Shake and pour into white bell-bottom pants. Add almost continuous behind the screen narration and you get a tasty beverage. 3 gin and tonics out of possible 5. (You don't want to end up under the table. This is proper English gangster flick)

Flame & Citron

Euromacho WWII action drama about two anti-Nazi resistance fighters with lots of spy-action twists. Tough, very smart, stylish and no Hollywood ending here. Denmark dont care. 17/21 (marks off for having to read subtitles)

Jeff just stomped all over my sarcasm meter. It might be beyond repair. I should have gotten a stand for it, so its harder to stomp on.

@peanut: " I never even knew this thread existed and the idea of it is crazy to me" The Bombcast Waiting Room. Blowing it .... one mind at a time.

But seriously, the leisurely format is what allows Ryan to sus out some amazing pearls from his team once in a while. I will take the few slow parts, although Ryan is usually pretty good at moving things along to keep the temperature up. I really get irked by podcasts that stick to the plan a little too much and are too tight. Its not the evening news or a business meeting. When you got good interesting people you need to give them the environment to open up. If that requires talking to them about something non-work-related that they are excited about, then whooptee-do: they are human. And the more we know about the critic, the more value we can extract from their criticism.

I think of GB like I think of HBO. The subscribe money gives them the freedom and resources to be creative and on the edge balls out. As long as they stay that way, I will support. I don't care where they place the pay wall on the site, as long as they are innovative. Jeff is an enormously talented critic, and apparently manager, and he is man enough to put together a pretty strong crew. The crew needs to get even stronger, though, if the site is to keep pace. More personalities, more diverse, more concentrated. I am confident they will do it. I am in till next year sometime, but will probably stack during a sale, if one comes my way. As for those who say they don't need subscriptions because of CBS money, that makes no sense at all. Subscriptions are direct influence of the user. At ad-supported sites, user influence is mediated through advertisers, corporate and sales. The crap the latter pull is the reason GB was created in the first place. So I'd like to keep that direct lifeline open as long as that creativity is alive and kicking.

Bombcast is king. Don't rush the king.
