General Discussion / Re: Ranking PTA
« Last post by tonyh on March 23, 2022, 01:22:04 PM »I thought I would revive this thread since the topic was discussed on the show last night.
I am surprised to hear that Phantom Thread is one of Tom's all-time favorite movies. It really didn't do it for me.
Some of these I have not watched in a really long time, so I may need to re-evaluate. But for now I would say:
1. Inherent Vice
2. There Will be Blood
3. Punch Drunk Love
4. Magnolia
5. Licorice Pizza
6. Boogie Nights
7. The Master
8. Phantom Thread
(I did not see Hard Eight)

General Discussion / Re: Who checks in here weekly?
« Last post by zzesp on January 30, 2022, 12:50:20 PM »I've been a listener since 2002. The forum and especially the chat on show night kept me engaged with the show in a way twitter and the like cannot. I want the forum to be used again and the chat to be live again! Twitter is for the world, and I under it's a marketing tool to reach more listings, but FOT forums and chat were OUR THING, special for Best Show fans. I don't even know if many new listeners even are aware of FOT site and what it once was. The most people ever on at the same time was a little over 500 people in 2004. Imagine if we could invite those 500 to a gathering of FOTs! Maybe Scharpling and Wurster would do a show. Anyway , if you're a caller( in 20 years I've called twice ) call in and promote the forum and let's get the chat back.....remember when Tom monitored the chat....I got removed once because my sarcasm wasn't appreciated. It was one of the times I called and asked Tom to reinstate me....he deferred to " Gregg on the 5th floor handles that" and then put me back in chat!

Show Discussion / 2022 Newbridge Mayornubital
« Last post by zzesp on January 30, 2022, 12:28:30 PM »The last mayornubital race was in 2018....it is a ten year term. Mayor Ziegler lost the office if I remember correctly, either he abandoned it or was removed( I've been hitting the archives lately- highly reccomend August 19 2008- I'm searching for more info)
Anyway, a mayorornubital would be a lot of fun for 2022.
Personally I'd like to see Roland Gorchnick move to NB and run!

Links / The Mountain Goats - Heel Turn 2 (feat. John Wurster as the Mad Gorilla Drummer)
« Last post by Dammit on January 06, 2022, 02:42:32 PM »I burst into tears listening to this song. Not the sniveling kind, but the heaving, uncontrollable type.

Heh...had to read the comments to see the song is a pro wresting metaphor.
And, wow, is John a wonderful drummer.

They failed to get the fire hot enough before introducing the tree. And lighter fluid? Very poor technique.
It's best to do it outside in a firepit, so you can dump a bunch of Xmas trees together. Make certain they are nice and dried out.
Merry Christmas, Fredericks.
