This week, we do things a little different. Instead of making a new list, perhaps inspired by the new film Ted or the return of Louie to FX, we look back at the things that inspired all our lists so far. You see, we’re just about halfway through 2012, believe it or not, and now […] The post T3 23: Top Stuff of 2012 So Far appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Our friends at Pixar are putting out their latest feature, Brave which means we can talk about something vaguely related. Personally, I thought it would be pretty cool to talk about Disney princesses, since this is their first princess movie. But I guess we’re a bit to bro-y for that? Like, what’s the big deal? […] The post T3 22: Top 10 Pixar Characters appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Mad Men‘s season ended, so it’s obviously time for another albums list. This week, we take the Rock of Ages approach and turn our steely gaze toward the late Eighties.

Like a vengeful genetically enhanced man whose been marooned on a harsh planet for years, we’re back from break and ready to get some lists made. First on the docket: sci-fi movies. It’s a pretty cool time for sci-fi movies right now, what with them coming out and making money. Except for John Carter, but […] The post T3 20: Top 10 Sci-Fi Moves appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow. A place where cats and dogs not only live together, they’re happy to do so. Where dead singers can be brought back as holograms and that apparently doesn’t offend anyone. Where people carry magical devices that contain all the world’s information, yet spend most of their time simulating combat […] The post T3 19: Top 10 Future Technology appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

So, Battleship. Who knew that for all these years what we were actually play was a Michael Bay-esque battle for the planet between brave sailors and devious robot aliens? Nobody, because that’s not how the game works. And yet, here we are. This week, we tackle the issue of dumb adaptations with a bunch of […] The post T3 18: Top 10 Children’s Playthings That Should Never Be Movies appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Hark! Up in the sky, it’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Top Ten Thursdays! In honor of the imminent release of The Avengers, we narrowed down our favorite super heroes for your enjoyment.

History provides a deep well of leaders and followers working together, like… Caesar and Brutus. That’s true in the world of cinema as well, with great teams of actors and directors. What’s that? Filmmaking is a collaboration? Don’t tell that to John Ratzenberger, that poor guy’s been the indentured slave of Pixar for years. Let’s […] The post T3 15: Top 10 Actor-Director Duos appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

What’s that pitter-patter on the roof? Is it… Could it be… Top Ten Thursdays? It is! Like a proverbial downpour the discussion this week turned to a topic that is a big part of any Seattle native’s lifestyle: the rain. Specifically, songs about the rain.

The holy weekend’s over, it’s Thursday and the gang’s all here! Our big cast of heroes got together to shoot the poop and let it all hang out. The topic of discussion? Ensemble movies. Those films that don’t rely on just one star, instead focusing on a whole group of characters. It sounded like a […] The post T3 13: Top 10 Ensemble Movies appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

We couldn’t pass up an opportunity to record an episode in a real radio station, and thusly, we focused on a real radio topic: sports. As a band of Mariner fans, how could we resist talking about of favorite Seattle Mariners, especially after they were honored by opening the season in Japan? So, sure, the […] The post T3 12: Top 10 Reasons to Be Excited About the 2012 Mariners Season appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

In honor of the beloved Mad Men, this week is all about 1967. Because that’s when the current season of the show is set. Probably. That show’s not really that explicit about anything. But what is explicit is this podcast, because the groovy conversation is all about the most awesome albums of 1967. It’s a […] The post T3 11: Top 10 Albums of 1967 appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Top Ten Fridays Saturdays? That simply will not do. But tardiness is better than absence, so delayed but not deterred, T3 is here for you.

After dedicating so much brainpower to reliving the Nineties, it would seem like a waste to move forward in time without at least talking about another cultural icon: the Super Nintendo.

Sorry for the delay, some technical difficulties arose, had to export it overnight. Enjoy! There are two kinds of people: those that hate 1990s music and those that love it.

Now that they’re […] The post T3 07: Top 10 One-Hit Wonders of the 1990s appeared first on Mildly Pleased.

Finally leaving the domain of movies for a change, the guys take on perhaps their most heated topic yet: TV show title sequences. Yes, those memorable segments at the beginning of shows that you probably forgot about ever since you got your DVR. It’s a battle of visuals and music; the catchy versus the memorable, […] The post T3 06: Top 10 TV Show Title Sequences appeared first on Mildly Pleased.
