Sometimes the 'Lith or the Trap forget to say things they wanted to say in these podcasts. Just happens. Things can move pretty fast, it's not scripted, you know the deal. So in most episodes there are points or facts that the podcasters wanted to share when discussing a topic, but for whatever reason didn't get around to it. So, this week, Bear Trap has asked that I use this space to list a few items that didn't get covered in the podcast but wishes they had. So here they are: 1) read 'Tenth of December' by George Saunders. It is very likely the best book that will be released this year. 2) another reason "Burt Wonderstone" didn't seem very good is because, in the trailers, Steve Carrell looks like he's doing the role ironically. I know that's probably part of his character, but it didn't look like he meant his performance. And 3) that episode of Myth Busters mentioned in the cast isn't real. Do not be alarmed. Now, on with the show. Discussed: why it is not correct to call refrigerant 'freon', amorous former-Marine HVAC teachers, an almost-storm that drenched and frightened Bear Trap, why 'The Amazing Burt Wonderstone' bombed last weekend, how 2013 could be Jim Carrey's year, the 'Kick Ass 2' trailer and the hints of sub-par-ness contained therein, a new weekly segment that will delight and astonish (or neither of those things), how Seth McFarlane's critics got it wrong on his Oscar-hosting performance, Monolith recalls his time as a student of famed film editor Anne Coates, why Monolith didn't play with GI Joe, other toys the podcasters played with as children, an offer from Bear Trap to the Snack's lady-listeners, the Obama impersonator starring as the Devil in the new History Channel show "The Bible", the lairfortbasestation or stronghold question is explored in depth (stronghold, obviously, because what the hell's a lairfortbasestation? Am I right?), the frequent FB references to 'Mooney' are explained with an apt comparison to 'The Silence of the Lambs', the moment Bear Trap had a hankering to see him some 'GI Joe: Retaliation', 'Wreck-It-Ralph' versus 'Brave', a passionate defense of Jared Leto band 30 Seconds to Mars followed by a challenge to a music-oriented listener, and whether the podcasters are good judges of each episode's quality. The answers, and more, in this week's episode of A Little Snack.
Show #69
