MY OTHER STUFF:
Snide Remarks: had the week off.
Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider: This was our final show for Cascadia.fm, as the Portland-based Internet radio station has been sold. (Here’s mastermind Robert Wagner explaining it, if you’re interested.) But do not worry! Our podcast will continue! If you subscribe through iTunes, you won’t even notice a difference. If you’ve been listening by going to our page at Cascadia.fm and clicking the “play” button every week, you’ll have to go to MovieBS.com instead, but otherwise nothing will change. Bayer and I want to thank Robert Wagner for giving us a place to do our show for 86 weeks, and to congratulate him on the sale! May he spare our lives when he becomes ruler of all Portland.
