More than 40 years later, we're still chasing that Electric Grandmother high

Cheapy DVD cover for the 1982 NBC tv movie THE ELECTRIC GRANDMOTHER. Maureen Stapleton sitting in a chair glowing (literally glowing) surrounded by three dork-ass kids, one of whom is the older brother from ET.

The cover also advertises "MOM'S ON STRIKE", which seems to have been a 2002 TV movie starring Faith Ford from Murphy Brown.

But most notably, THE ELECTRIC GRANDMOTHER was an adaptation of the Ray Bradbury short story I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC and so beneath the title "ELECTRIC GRANDMOTHER" there's a credit that says By Ray Bradbury and then below that "Martian chronicles" in parentheses written just like that, capital M in Martian and lowercase c in chronicles.

Also this is one of those movies I remembered as a kid but sometimes think I made it up and also the version in my memory is usually "The Electric Grandma" and she tries goes robot berserk and tries to kill them, neither of which is accurate.

Sometimes you just have to get back to watching real football, you know?

"They sure do got a lot of ads on this Netflix thing, huh? Well I'll tell you what they don't have on here: Landman. My TV show, Landman. They only got that on Paramount+. I took this ad out myself, by the way. I told them I'd sue if they didn't put it on during this baseball thing. And I will."

Musician Billy Bob Thornton standing in a road in a field looking into the camera and asking you to buy a product. It doesn't matter which one, he usually just makes one up and tells them to fix it in post.

"Uh, hey dude, it's Bryce again. Sorry that you lost the rest of your money betting on me to win the Home Run Derby. I told you not to do that, I told you I might not actually even be in the Derby, I'm not even sure how you made that bet before I got in it. You gotta stop doing this."

Yes, gas prices are going up but our new PAYNE AT THE PUMP program will make it fun for the whole family: now you can watch 1995's MAJOR PAYNE in 2.5 minute bites! Note: It will not remember what scenes you've already watched. And sometimes it will show 1994's RENAISSANCE MAN but we don't know why.

Image of a gas pump with a screen that has an image from the beloved 1995 Damon Wayans vehicle MAJOR PAYNE showing on the screen.

There is also an image of an arrow pointing to a button next to the screen. This is the MAJOR PAYNE button. It will not work, the screens on the gas pumps will always just be showing MAJOR PAYNE (a loose adaptation the 1955 Charlton Heston film THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON) on a loop, so you can't pick a scene and it will not remember what part you saw last time and you can't turn it off or turn the volume down. But you can push the MAJOR PAYNE button if you want to.

But also it will sometimes be showing the 1994 Danny Devito/Gregory Hines movie RENAISSANCE MAN. We're not sure why or how, we didn't acquire the rights for RENAISSANCE MAN to stream on gas pumps. But it plays it sometimes anyway. Sometimes it seamlessly switches between the two movies. It's fucking weird, man.

Anyway, yes, gas is going way up but this should probably even it out for you, this 150 seconds you'll be able to watch of MAJOR PAYNE (directed by Nick Castle, who also directed THE LAST STARFIGHTER and wrote the screenplays for ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and HOOK and appeared as Michael Myers in four different HALLOWEEN movies. You will not be able to watch any of these while getting gas. Just MAJOR PAYNE and, again, parts of or sometimes the entire film RENAISSANCE MAN, directed by the late Penny Marshall and the big screen debut of Mark Wahlberg. Also starring Kadeem Hardison.)

"I want to tell you something, Larry. You have a big mouth. Now I'm going to show you a bigger one. I'm going to turn you in anyway!" "Here's $2,500. Go ahead and take it." "No I don't think so, Larry. I don't think I want your money. I think you fucked up my beach, and I think you're going away."

Chief Brody really going in on a defeated America's Mayor, Mayor Larry Vaughn, who does, in fact, have that shit on, despite his current state of mind.

"You know me. I drove an $80,000 red BMW that's parked right outside. Bad fish? I don't give a shit. But I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, pal. For $10,000 I can go out there tonight with no mates, no volunteers and catch this shark myself. Tonight! Two hours! Can you? Can YOU?"

Alec Baldwin standing in front of a chalkboard with a drawing of a shark eating a person on it.

Though it's become famous, this scene was not in the original Peter Benchley play from which it was adapted.

"A lovely piece, Adrien, quite lovely. And you're *sure* you won't sell it to me?"

Actor Pierce Brosnan (Lawnmower Man) and actor Adrien Brody (Rasta Man) in tuxedos at a fancy event, looking off to the side together at something, something that is almost certainly the giant wall-size Raising Cane's custom collage that Adrien Brody recently unveiled. Brosnan has his arm around a satisfied looking Brody and seems to be whispering something to him. Probably something about doing a heist to steal the Adrien Brody's Raising Cane's collage.

Screenshot of a tweet from me, your best friend from back in the old Twitter days, specifically from July 2021. The tweet has an image of LeBron James wearing a Tune Squad basketball uniform with his own best friend, Tweety Bird.

LeBron has a serious expression on his face as he stands the locker room and addresses members of the Tune Squad who are looking at him (Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, I guess part of Sylvester the Cat). LeBron's dialogue, as indicated by the text of the tweet:

"We lost. Tweety Bird and I played our asses off - excuse my language, but those are the the facts - but we lost and now my son, Dom, and Sylvester the Cat's son, Sylvester Jr., have been digitized forever and you all have to live with it."

All these stories about the July 4th fireworks being late or having some wild, probably unsafe number of fireworks ready to go are all just a part of the machine that's been designed to finally capture...THE PHANTOM.

"You see Bullet Train? Ed? You catch that one, Bullet Train? One of the John Wick guys directed it, I forget which. Anyway, I took this hat right off the set and they didn't do shit about it. Nobody said word one. It's my hat now."

Ed Norton (Father Brian Finn from Keeping The Faith) and Brad Pitt (Bullet Train from Bullet Train) in a luxury box watching the World Cup, with Brad Pitt saying something to Ed Norton. Ed is wearing a Radiohead shirt that I bet he spent a lot of time thinking about wearing to the game. Brad Pitt is wearing what looks like the same exact bucket hat he wore in the 2022 film Bullet Train.

Keaton Wagler had an unexpected rise up the NBA Draft rankings. Now that he's this year's #5 pick, the real test begins: can he become the most famous Keaton associated with the NBA?

Michael Keaton, wearing sunglasses and a yellow cap, making the most Michael Keaton-ass Michael Keaton Face* of all time as he reacts to something at the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Many call this the greatest image in the history of sports.

*Positive. Michael Keaton rules and all Michael Keaton Faces that Michael Keaton makes are good.

when you are pleased with how cabo has performed

The Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar, giving you a thumbs up - it's kind of a weird thumbs up, honestly - while holding a bottle of Cabo Wabo Tequila in 1997 in Cabo San Lucas.

Some limes are in front of him.

If you can't see it, I want you to imagine what kind of shirt Sammy would have been wearing while holding a bottle of Cabo Wabo tequila in Cabo San Lucas in 1997. Picture it. Describe it out loud. Yep. You nailed it, that's exactly what kind of shirt he's wearing.

Image of a Choose Your Own Adventure book cover called THE PRESIDENT IS MISSING! credited to Bill Clinton and James Patterson over a fun looking adventure drawing of some kid in a white t-shirt and jeans getting up to all sorts of shit in front of the face of the statue of liberty.

(The actual CYOA book is STATUE OF LIBERTY ADVENTURE written by Ellen Kushner. I posted this on Twitter in like 2017 or some shit.)

This should be done with all non-natural "foods"

Thinking about an alternate history where they started making a parallel American Doctor Who show isn't original, I know, but thinking about a version where the show ends up with Andrew Dice Clay as The Doctor?

"An hour BACK? Get it? An hour BACK?" - Andrew Dice Clay, music abot the elasticity of time, on stage during The Day The Laughter Died. The Diceman is wearing a giant black and white zebra looking-ass leather jacket with a huge popped collar and giant shoulders. It's not going well for him.

An hour...BACK. GET IT?

"I'm warning you, with peace and love, do not send in any more fanart of Ricard Starrgroin, me player character on the Boys of Dungeon Lane actual play podcast. Paul says he doesn't have any more room for your drawrings and I don't want to take them home. No more fanart after this episode."

Ringo Starr warning you, with peace and love, not to send in any more fanart of his The Boys of Dungeon Lane actual play D&D podcast character Ricard Starrgroin.

Some people will think Paul is new to D&D, but he's actually been interested for a few years now.

Images of the the covers of McCartney III (a single die on its side showing the 3 face under Paul's name) and its remix follow-up McCartney III Imagined (a drawing of a die showing the 3 and one sides on a gray background), better known among fans as "McCartney 1D6"

The original name of Paul's new actual play Dungeons & Dragons podcast, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, was going to be Live and Let Dice.
