Late Show - Siskel & Ebert Go Off the Rails
I've been going down the rabbit hole of Siskel and Ebert lately. It seems infinitely watchable - it's a great nostalgia from my youth and the list of movies I want to hear them talk about just keeps growing. I want to hear what they thought of great movies, I want to hear what they thought of really terrible movies and then most of all I want to hear what they thought of movies that can go either way. It goes on and on.
I don't know if anyone shares this phenomenon so I won't be sharing "Siskel & Ebert highlights" here but this clip came up and it's fantastic.

The Greatest Mister T Mystery of Them All
According to imdb, there are 30 episodes of "Mister T" and, also according to imdb, Mr. T is a part of the cast of 15 episodes. How? How can there be "Mister T" episodes without Mr. T? How is that possible?
Edit: I think I figured it out... IMDB has episodes that have no credits associated so it doesn't count Mr. T as having been in them. Another mystery solved, gang.

The Invention of Cereal
This will sound like a joke but it's not: I've always wondered about the history of cereal. Now I know. Turns out it's very interesting.

The 10th Anniversary of Half in the Bag
Half in the Bag is 10 years old and George Lucas is there...
I love the thumbnail. I'm thinking (hoping) that random circles and arrows are on their way out but a good parody is always fun.

Guga - Adding MSG to Everything
Guga adds MSG to tons of foods and sees what it does to the flavor.
MSG with strawberry is something I will definitely be trying.

Late Night - Paul McCartney
A very funny interview and I remember watching it at the time. This is the only Conan interview I can remember where it was pre-recorded in another location.
One of the funnier Conan interviews. They could be a comedy team, these two.

Japan Snack Reviews #2
... And we're back!!!
This is part of a Special Blog Series where we review random Korean and Japanese snacks. This one's Japanese so let's go.

The picture is actually pretty impressive how much it resembles beer. It was actually pretty reddish and so not completely accurate.

So the interesting thing here is the water mixture is like soda - it seems to be slightly carbonated so that it's a foam. The cone is a genuine sugar cone, nothing surprising here. It's sweet and candy-ey but I don't particularly like it. The "strawberry" flavor isn't the best. It's kind of fun if you want a fun do-it-yourself Japanese candy and the packaging is the absolute best, as I said, but it's nothing special in my view.
Incidentally, I made these "ice cream cones" on a teleconference - at each stage I showed the ingredients and what I was doing and at no point did anyone ask "What are you doing?" or "What is that?" or even "What is wrong with you?" Perhaps ice cream candy from Japan is more common than I know.
So that's it. See you next time with another batch of Korean Snacks.
