Still listening, but wanted to thank @Jaffe for elevating my query (even though it was never meant for the big leagues!). Tim has officially declared the question, and by extension me, “not stupid,” so that‘s at least one life goal sorted. Not sure about the uh…quality of the uh……responses, but the Michael Ironside aside somehow pulled it together at the last minute (also, I just watched Scanners for the first time this past weekend, so he’s officially in my personal zeitgeist at the moment).
PS: So awesome hearing Christa on the podcast! I'm sure she plugged [her services](https://soundretro.co/), but I wanted to personally vouch for her--I shipped two of my PSXs clear across the dang country so that they may benefit from some of the best modding work in the biz

I hope the “cool death” in the Silent Hill movie Christa mentioned at 1:10:40 is the part where Pyramid Head picks up some person by the scruff of their shirt, rips off their clothes all at once while still holding onto them somehow, then rips off their skin in one swift motion and throws it at the camera. (definitely not “cool” cool but you know what I mean)
justice was not done for silent hill 4 (the most interesting sh game, dare one say the most Insert Credit sh game!) nor shattered memories (putting the _good_ remake below the _bad_ remake guys, come on now), but I'm not upset about it because holy crud, Jaffe was right, this album is GREAT
There‘s been many great answers to the Doki Doki Panic question, but here’s another one: Monopoly was originally designed to be rigged to show how rigged capitalism is.
@“JJSignal”#p90673 Pulse (2001), watched it again for the first time in forever and it’s still wickedly solid. I love how the ghosts are handled in this. Very simple ideas for how they’re presented, but incredibly effective and haunting.
Big fan of _Pulse_ (and all of the Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies I've seen; fun fact for those who also jumped on the Ryusuke Hamaguchi bandwagon after his film _Drive My Car_ became the first Japanese Film to get a Best Picture nomination ....he was a student of Kiyoshi Kurosawa!). Other fun fact: the ghosts movements that are particularly unsettling are apparently because he used ballet dancers to nail those _deeply_ strange movements. People love his movie _Cure_, which is killer, but Pulse nails that technological loneliness (without trying to make it supremely dumb like the "remake").
Additionally, in terms of this week's dirtbag question: “What is the _Did you know Mario 2 is a reskin of Doki Doki Panic_ of *not* video games” that turned into a discussion of weird movie recuts/edits I have a couple:
-
I haven’t actually seen this version but there is the famous TV cut of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil that still gets included with physical releases as a bonus (listed as the “Love Conquers All” version) where the ending is movie-wrecking-ly optimistic apparently (for those who have seen the original it's pretty easy to guess what they cut and where they let the movie end).
-
Probably the better answer would be "Did you know David Lynch shot the initial segment of _**Mullholland Drive**_ as a TV pilot?". There are bad quality tape versions floating around you can watch of the "Pilot" still, but pretty crazy to clearly see how much world-building Lynch was setting in place during the initial hour-or-so before having to haul his "poisoned love letter to Hollywood"....back to Hollywood to finish it (and man, what a finish...)
@“chazumaru”#p90930 It hasn't been mentioned on the show yet but Apple removed the old feed for unknown reasons. This is a link to the new Apple Podcasts feed. Which should be getting used everywhere now. https://insertcredit.com/show links to this.
The old feed was removed from being searchable within Apple Podcasts with a few months. The only way to make it searchable was re-adding the podcast, re-adding it meant getting a new link.
@“Gaagaagiins”#p90659 there’s enough digital timekeeping devices out there now that it should just be ten minutes once a month rather than an hour twice a year.
go further and define 6 am as sunup and 8 pm as sundown, with noon halfway between, and so on.
@“pasquinelli”#p91100 go further and define 6 am as sunup and 8 pm as sundown, with noon halfway between, and so on.
Well if we're gonna go the omnibus route might as well switch to decimal time, and make January through November 30 days, and have 35 days in December (four extra days of holidays of course)
