Mildly Pleased

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 […]

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. So warm up some moon waffles, cuddle up in bed […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. This week the topic of choice is original movies scores, inspired by… uh… The Muppets DVD release? Now, surely you were looking for some sort of Hunger Games-related murder adventure […]

The clocks have sprung forward, and that means school’s out for listing. As the gang gets excited for the highly anticipated 21 Jump Street, they look back at all the great high school movies they’ve seen, as well as a few they haven’t. They have a lot of fun, and if you’re not careful, 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. Sure, it might not have the infamy or name recognition of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, but it’s hard not to respect the amazing […]

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. Everyone at T3 falls in the latter. As younglings, the music of Weird Al and The La’s seemed wonderful and exciting to the guys. Now that they’re […]

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, […]

22 movies enter but only 10 leave in this epic battle of true romance! Our unusually epic Valentine’s week continues with a podcast that’s just simply full of love. Sean, John and Colin get together and talk about a genre of film that couldn’t be closer to their hearts: the romantic comedy. And while I’d […]

In honor of the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, we take a look at what exactly made this movie such a disappointment. Can you remember a world before this came out? When the biggest problem with the Star Wars franchise was ewoks? We had no idea how good we had […]

This Thursday, the gang came up with a topic so partisan, so biased, that they decided to present their lists independently. That’s right, it’s their most anticipated movies of the year. How does one rank anticipation? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure, the guy’s definitely did talk about films they want to see. Well, […]

Did you read John, Colin and Sean’s top 10 movie lists last week? If you liked those, you’re going to love this podcast. This week, those guys talk about their favorite movies of 2011, narrowing down all their personal preferences to a single list. What will make the cut? Who will feel the most betrayed? […]

A new year means changes, especially at the ever-changing Mildly Pleased. We’ve thrown our hats into the podcasting ring once again, this time with the goal of turning our former T3 feature into a weekly show. So, come back every week for Top 10 Thursdays, where we’ll try our best to formulate a top 10 […]

Does anyone remember Death By Hangers? You know that one death metal band from Satanville, Rhode Island? I hear they’re working on a new album and they just released this new song that’s pretty bad. Regardless of whether people want it or not, it’s being made, just thought I’d give you the warning. P.S. I […]

I went on “The Sports Den” on 88.1 The ‘Burg FM this morning to talk some Mariners baseball. Topics ranged from Griffey, the offense, the value of sacrifice bunting, and much more. Since the radio station doesn’t podcast their own stuff, I recorded it on my computer using Garageband. Not the best quality but gets […]
