Your Weekend Justice #125: James Spader, Acting Gristle

By Widge - posted 08.05.11 @ 6:25 am

It's Weekend Justice: the Internet's #1 audio trainwreck. It's the podcast that creates verbs where they are proper nouns just to see if anyone's paying attention. Usually they are, but they couldn't care less. This podcast was engineered--some might say over-engineered--by experts to escort you from the work week in the most chaotic manner possible. Please note: this podcast is profane, definitely oversexed and definitely overwrought. It is wrong and unsafe. You have been warned.

Agenda:

Irish sex

A lack of understanding of James Spader

Defining lesbianism

Alec Guinness disappoints as a Jedi

Hobo weddings

Hobo catch and release program

When steampunk is too labor intensive

Alcohol report and lack of Leigh

Porn testimonials

Free inspection!

Exorbation!

James Franco is not a verb

The problem with kissing Sean Penn

Fighting Viggo

Rock Lobster Fail

Alternate spellings and pronunciations

Portkey parties

Rowling vs. Martin

Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes

House of M and Age of Apocalypse

New Ultimate Spider-Man

Marvel and death

Unbreakable and other scripts

The podcast explodes!

Cricketing into the void

Rob's Rise of the Planet of the Apes review

Tim Burton's Casablanca--denied

What to do with mosquito bites

Summer camp, insects and death

Crisis on Infinite Sesame Streets

Cast Away

Ultimate island fanfic

Tagging Nazis

Glen Campbell

A Mob Numbering 11

I would like to submit as a miniscule erratum that Widge identified the lowercase i as symbolic of an irrational number, when it is in fact an imaginary number, though not very imaginary.

GS: You are correct. I was being irrational about an imaginary thing.

Which is...pretty much a description of my conduct in all 125 episodes thus far, if you think about...

I'm back next week...and I'm taking notes, people!

Comment by Leigh — August 7, 2011 @ 12:15 pm

Please god not about the comics discussion. I love you Leigh but I have to fast forward whenever you start talking about comics. Eastwick maybe... :)

Comment by Dan North — August 8, 2011 @ 8:50 pm

Dan: Leigh's not even on this episode...? Or is she showing up like an EVP recording or something...

Comment by Widge — August 8, 2011 @ 8:56 pm

Um, Dan...I don't usually talk about comics, other than to ask for recs for Kidlet or to ask how close the comic comes to a movie...

Or have I been doing that and don't remember? Because that's just wrong!

But I will talk about Eastwick. Maybe we can do a long episode review together, Dan? :D

Comment by Leigh — August 8, 2011 @ 8:58 pm

You don't usually but when you do you usually preface it with something along the lines of "I don't know much about comics but..."

Comment by Dan North — August 9, 2011 @ 5:29 am

Dan, Leigh--I think you're both missing the point.

The point is...how can Leigh be discussing comics *when she's not in this episode*?

And Leigh: you weren't. I was there. I know. So don't even try to mess with my head, chica.

Comment by Widge — August 9, 2011 @ 5:36 am

I know but she said she's "taking notes" which I took to mean in her dramatic return she would address topics from episodes she had missed. Which by the way sounds awesome.

Even when she's not gone, she always comes back with a vengeance.

Like constipation... but in a good way!
