The Simpsons
I learned most things I know from watchingThe Simpsons.
I know most cultural references fromThe Simpsonsfirst.
I would see them parody something on the show then figure out what it was after the fact.
FOX
Thats just the way I navigated the world for a while.
So Ive quoted that show quite a lot.
AC/DC, Back in Black
The first album I ever bought was a CD ofAC/DCsBack in Black.

I didnt really have a favorite band or a favorite song before that.
Just absolutely sensational from start to finish.
Jaws
I wouldve killed to be inJaws.
Everett Collection
Im obsessed with that movie.
Just to observe that movie getting made would be fascinating.
I saw it in high school during a very awkward teenage date, but the movie saved it.
Zade Rosenthal
ForLower DecksIve had to dive intoThe Next Generationand its incredible.
I cant believe that show had been around for so long and I hadnt checked it out.
It was right up my alley!
Nintendo
Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64changed video games and the way we think of them forever.
I really lovedSuper Mario Odysseyas well.
Just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time I was playing it.
So creative and weird and fun.
[And if Quaid could joinanyvideo game franchise?]
ProbablyThe Last Of Usbecause every role in those games is so layered and meaty.
Either that or something in theBioshockuniverse.
Make it happen, internet!
