If you like Attitude Era pod, you’ll probably also enjoy The New Generation Podcast Project, which is the same idea, but from when Hogan leaves to The Tyson Mania.

Your mileage may vary on it, but I like The Lapsed Fan. They can be too into their own Schtick sometimes but the depth of the stuff they cover is pretty exhaustive.

I did listen to Lapsed Fan's World Class episodes and enjoyed it, but also made use of the skip forward button when they laid on the schtick.

Lapsed Fan is a very frustrating podcast because Jack does such a great job with his research and JP...is JP. I'd like to listen to it more, but I usually can't deal with it.

Bryan's argument with Lance about the Rosa/Baker match was painful to listen to.
I super agree with everything Lance said, as I almost always do, and Bryan's "but it was good, actually" gave me douche chills because it just reminds me of every time I defended a product I like when it had done something terrible.

But when JP hits, he hits. His extended bit as Hogan backstage at Summerslam
2005 is probably one of the hardest times I’ve ever laughed at a podcast. Like, I had to stop what I was doing because I was laughing so much it HURT.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I used to post on DVDVR and Rob was active on the board.

Battel of the Empire review was great, Lance trying to get them to be their best wrestler selves instead of junior Lances in the ring is the best way he could do the coaching. Poor Vinny.

Would you be my new best friends?

Lance continually bringing up that they had completely hosed up the dynamic of big powerful face and agile little heel was great, and I really liked most of his suggestions for how to improve things like a more effective way to have used Buddy Wayne as the ref.

Also a big fan of Lance's very simplistic message at the start of pointing out there's no point to telling a wrestler they should be doing stuff they're not actually capable of doing, and instead focusing on what they CAN do and how to do it better. I mean, that seems like a no-brainer but given the WWE of the last 10-15 years.... welp. Also makes me wonder how much stuff he was suggesting (beyond what he's already revealed on Figure Four Daily) when he was working backstage there that just got ignored or dismissed by Vince being a micro-managing out-of-touch lunatic.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

There was an episode a loooong time ago where Lance was talking about getting WiiFit and how it didn't understand that BMI fails when you're a body builder, when he entered his height and weight into it, it was made his Mii super fat lol.

Godfather I can kind of get the argument for, but I can't imagine seeing the final act of Goodfellas and thinking it's portraying the mob as anything but a group of backbiting scumbags.

Apparently during a Wall Street screening of Wolf of Wall Street, the audience cheered and high fived when Jordan's marriage broke-up and he was so low that he broke out a stash of cocaine and took a massive snort because he was incapable of dealing with the emotional devastation of his life being a total mess outside of his financial success, because as far as the audience was concerned this was Jordan "being back" :sigh:

Shot and killed by Mackey at the end of Season 3 after Mackey had word spread that an Armenian mob associate is looking to turn witness, to lure Dezerien out of whatever hole he was hiding in.

I've had someone legitimately argue that Waltz With Bashir glorified the IDF's actions during the Lebanon War, and was about white-washing away their complicity in the Shatila and Sabra Massacres.

People make some really borked interpretations of texts all the time. Scarface is a classic example
