No, we have not done the comedies yet. They may well be our next target.

Thanks for playing the game!

Thanks for the update Mike. I have recorded the second and third episode but haven't watched them yet. Good to know that they're winners.

Hi Mike,
I'm in Seattle.

I believe that I caught it at a film festival (of which we have several annually). So I don't know if it received a wide general release or not.

This was back in the days before having kids so I was able to haunt the local festivals and drink my fill of obscure films.

I remember seeing The Brave When Little Toaster when it was released. My memory is a little hazy but I remember enjoying it and thinking it was done rather cleverly and with a pinch of flair.

Hi Chris,

There was definitely plenty of low-brow humor. Perhaps it partially won me over because the kids were laughing so hard and it becomes infectious at some point. Ben Stiller was less obnoxious than usual, which is always a blessing.

Hi Judith, DVDs are coded with different region codings to play on DVD players that are programmed only to play that code. The standard code for the U.S. is Region 1. I believe there are seven different codes all together, but I can't tell you where they are all from. I believe England is Region 2 f...
