We're trying something new at The Critically Acclaimed Network! THIS AIN'T NO GAME is a podcast where @witneyseibold.bsky.social and I play retro movie-themed games. We're starting with TRIVIAL PURSUIT: SILVER SCREEN EDITION! It's from 1983, so are the answers still accurate? Let's find out!

We don't know if we're going to make any more episodes of THIS AIN'T NO GAME, so let us know if you like it! Comment here, or on our patreon page, or send us an email, or train a carrier pigeon, whatever you gotta do. If we don't get any feedback we'll assume this sucks and never do it again!

We're all grieving the loss of David Lynch, one of the most profound and inspired filmmakers who ever lived. For those who may be revisiting his work, or discovering it for the first time, we to encourage you to also seek out his fascinating but less famous TV shows: ON THE AIR and HOTEL ROOM.

PLEASE GOD WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WHY IS GILLIGAN'S PLANET LIKE THIS
Three Gilligans - yes, really, three of them - have grabbed the Skipper's feet and head, which is completely stuck in a jar. They pull him in either direction like a medieval torture device, stretching his neck out two feet and clearly dislocating both of his legs. Just another day on Gilligan's Hellworld... I mean, "planet.:"
