  • The Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies are a fine slice of the fantasy side of cheese, as is the delightfully named Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell.

    Oh, and Delta Knights!

    I also recommend, for those that like spy/heist/Italian weirdness, to try Diabolik, and Operation Double-Double-07.

    Hard mode might be "Agent From H.A.R.M." because there's long stretches of very little happening, but what happens can be downright hilarious.

  • Space Mutiny is easily the best "introduction" episode to the show for newcomers and it remains a classic that shows what MST3K is all about.

    I do want to give honorable mention to Star Crash, a Jonah-era Italian attempt to do Star Wars featuring a surprisingly famous actor playing the space emperor, a cowboy drawling bounty hunter robot, and a lady wearing transparent plastic that grits her teeth a lot. It's a good time too.

  • Plenty of "progressive" white people still have racist hangups.

    Some of them think they aren't racist when they see the world as a series of tourist attractions and try to flex on their dinner guests by bragging about the authentic exotic experiences they had with authentic foreign people while wandering into tourist traps.

  • And god help me how in the living hell do you wait for over 10 minutes in a freaking drive thru only to get to the menu and say "uhmmmm what do I waaaant...."

    My most common and hated experience every day in drive thru:

    bing

    static

    recorded pitch starts

    "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH*

    "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH*

    minute or two passes, horns honking

    "ARE YOU THERE?! HELLO?! HELLO?!"

  • It truly is car brain, including the car brain belief that drive thru is always faster.

    As a former drive thru worker, I can tell you that that is untrue, but the drive thru chuds were pretty much definitively more aggressive, more obnoxious, and more likely to further delay the transaction by being boomer assholes and inspecting their food and making petty demands if anything is even slightly out of place (or if they're fishing for a refund and lying).

  • Pathfinder is close enough to D&D that I've had success converting people to it because fuck Wizards of the Coast and their recurring attempts to gouge everyone with mandatory subscriptions and predatory licensing rackets.

    Also Pathfinder's setting is downright more creative because they don't keep digging deeper into that boring old "what if underdark and illithids... AGAIN?" well.

  • Before I left CA, I remember seeing one of these fucking places opening up in my area. Yes, the line was very long and remained so for months every time I went past it.

    Why?

    I really, really don't understand treat hogs that can wait an hour or longer for that, sucking in exhaust all the while.
