The Penultimate Pen
Joe hates love. Dan hates chicken salad. An omelet with nothing in it isn’t technically an omelet, and carrots and celery are just a base of a soup.

Server Farm to Table
Like the memories of our childhood, Hackers (1995) is an embarrassing cultural retrospective full of that’s-not-a-things and awful clothing, but it’s still fun to watch in an only-partly-ironic way. Set your modems to receive a file. Defocusers of the world, unite!
September 3, 2014 • 1 hour, 52 minutes • Hackers • Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm
11

July 23, 2014 • 1 hour, 14 minutes • Silicon Valley • Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm
5
Shame Burrito
Dan buys a burrito and feels guilty about it. Joe drinks dirt juice. It doesn’t matter if your TV is 4K because the movie probably isn’t. We don’t know what to make of Pixar’s involvement in the “no raid” scandal, but we’re really glad Super Troopers exists. And, it’s a good thing you didn’t order hashbrowns. I mean, if they had been chugging the catsup.
July 16, 2014 • 1 hour • Super Troopers • Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm
4
