    What does IT stand for? No, the specific letters I and T. The IT Crowd is more than just a workplace comedy, it has entered the comedy lexicon all across the globe. Chrystal and I talk about the imprint it has left on us as we discuss our favorite moments from one of our favorite shows.

    Have you ever wanted to play Call of Duty, but for real? Yeah, me neither. They should make a sequel to this movie with Animal Crossing.

    Is there anyone cooler than Chris Knight? Except for Val Kilmer himself? I don't think so. A movie so good I wore out the tape.

Good fun. Great commentary.

I loved this idea and the way this podcast is set up. I remember these movies and shows and can't wait to hear more.

Audio quality is good and I appreciate the perspective from a non-technical and a technical person at the same time.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
