Not an original one here though for me the worst rental was Superman 64. It is the thing of legend. So terrible. You're Superman flying through rings in a fart chamber. Worst movie tie in game I've played would easily be Bram Stoker's Dracula on Sega CD. Practically unplayable. On the flip side a game that surprised me was Hook! on the SNES. My friend's little brother got it for his birthday. It's quite a good platformer from an unlikely IP. Give that one a play. Keep up the good work gents!

some alternate titles for Fetterman's book that my pals + I banged out, over on discord: - All Fetts Are Off - Our Fetter Angels - Wait Til They Fett a Load of Me - Yellow LedFetter - Hey, Fetter Fetter, SWING, Fetter - I Heard That -- You Called Me a Fett Fuck..!! and - Fetter Dead Than Fed ... I tried to sort them in order of coherency, descending.

oh--! Frank Zappa, of all ppl, had a good line in his autobio about the progressively shorter & shorter cycles of nostalgia... something like: .... Until, one day, someone walking down the street will become nostalgic for the last step they took and, as they turn around to pine for that previous moment, the spacetime continuum will collapse into itself.

The Home Improvement SNES game is the only way to play as Tim Allen on your Super Nintendo

Gremlins 2 and Batman Returns for the original Gameboy were pretty bad.

I thought it was very nice of President Trump to show his appreciation for the number one box office draw from 1939 through 1940 (spanning two decades!)

Superman 64 has to be up there, absolutely insane difficult level right from the get go and so incredibly boring.

I don't know if I could necessarily consider it a bad game, considering some of the other games in the franchise, but Bart's nightmare is one hell of a stinky object I imagine it's significantly better than all of the simpsons NES games that I haven't had the privilege to play yet, but it is truly the most bizarrely designed game I've played in terms of actually progressing to the end It's like Mario 64, if you had very little control over which painting you got sent into, resulting in you possibly having to clear levels multiple times over in order to get to the ending And one of the only ways to regain health was to shoot bubbles at floating objects, which would send them towards the top of the screen and you had to get them to nest inside of your health bar

Interesting take on SUNSET BOULEVARD. I would recommend a return to Wilder in a future podcast with his follow up ACE IN THE HOLE. This is probably his most caustic and bleak film (and one that could only be made because of the success of its predecessor). Needless to say, his critique of post-WW2 American society in general and the press in particular in ACE IN THE HOLE was not appreciated or accepted by audiences/critics at the time. Then if you need an antidepressant, either ONE, TWO, THREE or KISS ME STUPID will serve nicely.

Goonies 2 for NES. Wasn't a rental it was a gift and it sucked. N64 will never be obsolete to me.

Ace In The Hole is one of my favorite movies! That blunt, scathing critique of institutions like media you got in 50s cinema. I might conduct The Apartment erasure and call it my favorite Wilder.

I don't have anything to say about early console games (I'm too old, really), but I thought the discussion on SUNSET BOULEVARD was one of your best ever. On cycles of nostalgia, I wonder if the more rapid pace of technological is accelerating the cycles. I feel the odd one out is 1970s nostalgia, which seemed to be very slow in coming compared with 1960s nostalgia, and had about a two-year run before fading away again. (And have we ever had a 1990s nostalgia boom? I hadn't noticed one.) I find it interesting that whereas other nostalgias seem to come and go, 1950s and 1960s nostalgias never quite disappear. One might say the same about the 1920s, too.
