Mildly Pleased

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
