Does the Wii U have what it takes to be a success? Something that can compare well to the Wii’s legacy? The Dreamcast was a generational half-step, and look what happened there. On the other hand, the Xbox 360 got a year’s head start on this generation and turned that into a steady lead. If […] The post T3 38: Top 10 GameCube Games appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

McCartney. Paul McCartney. He gets a lot of credit for his lyrics, but I’ve got to say “this ever changing world in which we live in” is not one of his gems. “In which we live in”? Come on, you can do better. I bring this up because this week we’re talking about the very […] The post T3 37: Top 10 James Bond Songs appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Here’s a thing that we made. Colin and I talk about the new movie Flight, it’s director Robert Zemeckis and his return to live-action cinema, and its star Denzel Washington. Although, I should point out, if you want to avoid spoilers, skip from 11:20-17:20. Hey, listen!

In lieu of a real podcast, more thoughts on Lucasfilm being sold to Disney. Because everyone else is doing it! What? What are you doing that’s so great? Go back to eating that candy you knew wouldn’t hand out all of last night, you jerk. I’m sorry. I… I’ve got a lot on my mind. […] The post The Old Man and Mickey appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Some Kind of Movie – Ep 1: Argo F#@k Yourself I wanted to try something different with movie reviews here at Mildly Pleased. So here’s a podcast review I like to call “Some Kind of Movie.” You know, like Some Kind of Monster, but with more Ben Affleck. I am joined by my friend and […] The post Argo F#@k Yourself appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Are you prepared for a creeping, unsettling feeling? A feeling that leads you down a dark hallway of dread ending in a terror so sublime you’ll believe everything that is right and good in the world has been ripped away from you? Well, you’re going to have to get your fix somewhere else, weirdo. We […] The post T3 36: Top 10 Horror Movies appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Happy birthday, original Nintendo Entertainment System! At least, we think so. It’s actually kind of hard to pinpoint exactly when the console came out. But, actually, that’s not what we’re talking about. That would be concept albums, in honor of an album that comes out on Tuesday that we’re all so excited about we can’t […] The post T3 35: Top 10 Concept Albums appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

If we were going to post an episode late, you’d think it would have been last week’s show. Then I could have made jokes about how it traveled in time, which, while nothing’s coming to mind right now, I’m sure would have been fully amusing. But instead we’re a day late this week, meaning the […] The post T3 34: Top 10 Fictional Athletes appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Do you believe in destiny? Were you fated to read this podcast description or did you truly arrive here of your own free will? If you could, would you go back and change your decision to be here? Would you change it all? Would you believe we found a way to talk about Back to […] The post T3 33: Top 10 Time Travel Movies appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

And now for something completely different. With half of us scattering across the country, it seemed difficult and impractical to put together a whole show this week. But we didn’t want to leave you good people without anything this week, so we put together a special little show. With P.T. Anderson’s new film The Master […] The post Good Movie/Bad Movie: Drilling appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

The ultimate test of a man’s masculinity is defying everything it stands for and being able to live with yourself afterward. That’s the test we subjected ourselves to this week on T3, as we turned from our typical Tucker Maxian ways and admitted our mancrushes. You know, those men who we admire and respect and […] The post T3 32: Top 10 Mancrushes appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

September. Just the word conjures images of colorful leaves, school buses, the return of long pants. Fortunately, it also means new images will be conjured in that special box, the television, as the big shows begin their new seasons. One we are particularly interested in this year is Saturday Night Live, which had some of […] The post T3 31: Top 10 SNL Cast Members appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

What did 2003 sound like to you? The early 2000s were a time of change, when digital distribution via iTunes and other, lesser services came into its own. When you could actually watch music videos on VH1 and MTV (actually MTV2, it wasn’t that long ago). When a little band called The Darkness came out […] The post T3 30: Top 10 Albums of 2003 appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

With Sean taking full advantage of his Mildly Pleased company vacation days, it was up to Colin, John and myself to get things done. With John taking over the hosting duties, his younger brother Paul fills out the foursome with his vast knowledge of Playstation expertise. Since posting duties were thrust upon Colin and he […] The post T3 29: Top 10 PlayStation Games appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Somehow, our longest podcast yet is a discussion about the Nintendo 64, a discussion, mind you, that is a rehash of a post I did four years ago. While the N64 could maybe have disappeared into history as one of Nintendo’s weaker systems, it existed at exactly the right time for it to matter a […] The post T3 28: Top 10 Nintendo 64 Games appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

The 1980s. What a weird time to be alive. Neon colors, video game arcades, casette tapes, sure does seem like a long time ago. A little while ago, we talked about our favorite one-hit wonders of the 1990s, and realized at the end that we wished we had done the Eighties instead. So, now that […] The post T3 27: Top 10 One-Hit Wonders of the 1980s appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Fates be damned! The recording of this podcast was erased from all the this reality, and while we could all go listen to it in another dimension, I don’t think getting killed by a character from DragonBall Z is something any of us are trying to do (remember how instead of saying “I’m going to […] The post T3 26: Top 10 Arnold Schwarzeneggar Movies appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Not satisfied with a lengthy review, hastily written at some ungodly hour? Neither were we! So we worked up something real special for you: our first official podcast review. No, this isn’t a snarky “Top 10 Plot Holes” episode, like our usual show; this is a real, unscripted discussion of the film. And we had […] The post T3: The Dark Knight Rises Special appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na podcast! Here’s the podcast you deserve, and the podcast you need right now. It’s a Dark Knight Rises special, with our spotlight focused not on the caped crusader himself, but his rogues gallery. And, while we’re confident you can guess […] The post T3 25: Top 10 Batman Villains appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Who the boss? You the boss. You, our dutiful listener who comes by every week to listen to this show we do for you. And, it is for your benefit, not our own entertainment, that we did this week’s episode. Our focus? TV bosses, the leaders of men and women that we’ve come to love […] The post T3 24: Top 10 TV Bosses appeared first on Mildly Pleased.
