Every two months, the names of all donors go in a hat, and the person you pick out at random gets to name a movie that you and Matty are forced to review.  Power to the people!
Yes!  This would up my contribution level!

Also, I've been listening to the show since its inception and think that Sam's nickname "Big Ben loves Endicott Steel" was probably the funniest nickname he's ever come up with.  Hysterical.
Anacott Steel. You are such a credit whore. [That was Shawn's idea I passed onto Sam when I mentioned a donor from London.] Sam's "Ignoring the Core Principles of South Banking" was pretty good too. Though I agree Big Ben rolls of the tongue better.]

Colleen, when did you get your nickname? I don't see it on our page...

I sent you that idea a year ago.

Sure you did, Alex.  Sure you did.

Don't feel bad that your opinion doesn't carry the same weight as mine.  You did the best you could with the tools god gave you.

I have been bugging Adam for months now to allow the listeners to dictate the movie that he and Matty review in exchange for a donation.

Welcome to the boards, Shawn.  But please see above.

I'll give you props for Top Gun though.

I trust you, Alex... sorry... I don't remember. 24k emails can be kind of overwhelming to sift through.

Don't be sorry.  Everybody knows that below the hard deck doesn't count.

Anybody got any interesting ideas on how we can thank listeners each show other than nicknames? Thanks.

How about you get to "adopt an actor/actress?"  Or a movie or a scene from a movie.  Kind of like how you can adopt a grassy spot at the side of a road.   :)

What's the deadline for contributing before Episode 200? I'd like to get a Sam Van Hallgren nickname. Why are you stopping? Is Sam sick of doing them or just you guys want to try something new...

Just curious. :)
