Well, you've had some extra time to compile your thoughts. Here are mine:
: Anyway, the Outsider Stuff selection
: is..."Freaks & Geeks: Discos &
: Dragons" (featuring Joel &
: Trace)
While I didn't really watch this series when it was on, I thought this episode turned out OK. The scripting and acting was good, and it had a good feel for the period. As for Joel & Trace, Joel is hilarious is a brief role as a disco DJ, while Trace has a funny cameo as a teacher. I think I'll see about looking for the rest of this show.
...while the Original Stuff selection
: is..."Phantom Planet" (Show 902).
As for "Phantom Planet", this movie's biggest problem is the non-heroic, stuck-up and irritating ChapmanFrankChapman, who approaches Agar-like levels of annoying. He really drags to movie down, and it's a shame the more philosophical Mikonnen gets killed off so early.
The episode itself turned out good. The riffing worked well, and I liked Mike's rendition of the "Star Hustler" theme.
So, how about you?
