Accidental Martyr

Yes, “lie detectors” are a prime example of pseudoscience that many people believe to be accurate. https://www.csicop.org/si/show/the_lie_detector_test_revisited_a_great_example_of_junk_science https://www.csicop.org/si/show/a_consistently_erroneous_technology

Bill Janovitz of Buffalo Tom covers “Little Mascara” by The Replacements.

Rapper Denzel Curry covers Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls On Parade.” (Language warning.)

As soon as Geoff said his name was Evan and he was from Boston I thought, “Is this supposed to be Evan Dando?”

That was the real Evan Dando as “the guy that stands outside the Wawa and buys beer for high school kids.” https://www.stereogum.com/2031336/watch-evan-dando-cameo-on-the-goldbergs/video/ Good to hear “Confetti” at the end, one of my favorite Lemonheads songs.

I was disappointed that we didn’t hear Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs” at the seminar.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear “Desperados Under the Eaves” by Warren Zevon during the credits. One of my all time favorite songs.

He also appears on Silicon Valley from time to time as Richard’s doctor.

I agree. I’m getting tired of almost every episode being a parody of an 80’s movie or TV show. I didn’t really enjoy this episode.

I assumed the Vietnamese soldiers in Hays’ hallucination were people he killed in Vietnam but who was the man in the coat and tie?

Screenshot of the note:

I guess it could have been for any of those reasons but I also though it might have been an attempt to retcon due to Sheldon basically being portrayed as asexual as the series went on. During the scene there’s this bit of dialogue : Sheldon: Leonard, I don’t think I can do this. Leonard: What, are you kidding? You’re a semi-pro. Of course there are plenty of examples of the writers not paying a lot of attention to continuity so I could be wrong.

It seems like every episode of this show is turning into a parody, rehash, etc. of an 80’s movie or TV show (or, in this case, a movie set in the 80’s).

Yeah, it’s not great but it has it’s moments. Mostly because you get to hear her say things like:

Check out The Bronze for a little different side of Rauch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3859304/?ref_=nv_sr_2

I really liked the first season of Lodge 49 and I’m looking forward to season two.

Why did it take them so long to realize that the other cop might have a police radio?

Why would you automatically assume the blood on the cat’s paw was human and not another cat/bird/mouse, etc.?

I thought Nightmare on Elm Street was pretty scary when it came out and I was in high school. My wife is 12 years younger than me and her older brother let her watch it when she was six. I think she’s still scarred from that experience. Freaks and Geeks did a great episode revolving around a keg of non-alcoholic beer at a high school party. (“Beers and Weirs”.) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0582669/

I guess he was lucky there weren’t any other women in the bathroom.

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit cover Tom Petty’s “American Girl”.

I generally like Jeremy Sisto, but I find his character annoying.

Blackberry Smoke and Amanda Shires perform Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky”. https://www.jambase.com/article/blackberry-smoke-amanda-shires-tom-petty-cover

I like Fillion but I wish they could have came up with something for him besides another cop show.

I finished watching this last night and really enjoyed it. I’ll watch pretty much anything that Maya Rudolph is in and I thought she was very good in this. The show gave me kind of a The Good Place meets Wristcutters: A Love Story vibe.
