Welcome to the world of tomorrow. A place where cats and dogs not only live together, they’re happy to do so. Where dead singers can be brought back as holograms and that apparently doesn’t offend anyone. Where people carry magical devices that contain all the world’s information, yet spend most of their time simulating combat between birds and pigs. Where we talk about 10 possible inventions of the future we can’t wait to see.

Time travel past the jump to see the list.

So, Battleship. Who knew that for all these years what we were actually play was a Michael Bay-esque battle for the planet between brave sailors and devious robot aliens? Nobody, because that’s not how the game works. And yet, here we are. This week, we tackle the issue of dumb adaptations with a bunch of projects that are theoretically in the pipeline, but really, never should be made.

You can turn the card over and look at the answers after the break.

This week, we go mean. Real mean. We go right for the jugular. If you’re on this list, we’re worried about you. Real worried. We think your talent’s run out. Maybe it never existed. Maybe you just keep picking terrible projects. The point is, we think your best career move is putting an end to it. I know it sounds harsh, but, hey, you’re an actor. You’re used to rejection and disappointment. And if you’re not, maybe you needed a little more in your life.

Check out the really mean list after the jump. And, you know, no hard feelings.

Hark! Up in the sky, it’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Top Ten Thursdays! In honor of the imminent release of The Avengers, we narrowed down our favorite super heroes for your enjoyment. It’s pretty selfless, kind of like Superman. It’s kind of crazy, kind of like Batman. It’s a great responsibility, like Spider-Man. Up, up and away!

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 instead focus on the actor-director teams that brought out the best in each other, whether that be true love or murderous rage.

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 like a big toasty cinnamon bun and listen to the storm of discussion.

Or not. I mean, the list is right after the break. I’m not going to stop you.

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 really easy idea, but it quickly became clear that this is the most challenging top 10 so far.

If you don’t have the time for this super-sized show, you can check our list after the break.

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 Mariners may lose a lot, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited. Baseball’s back everybody! Please don’t sue us MLB!

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 little bit trippy, a little bit psychedelic, a lot a bit fun.

Spoilers after the break!

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 this week and you’re disappointed to hear everyone lives through the entire podcast (or do they?) but don’t worry, the stakes couldn’t be higher. After all, when was the last time you heard people talking about the best movie scores? I thought so. Give it a listen.

Or you could just look at the list after the break.

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 might learn something too. But probably not. Unless you always wanted to learn about how good the song from Mr. Holland’s Opus is – which you didn’t.

Take a look at the list after the break, or just listen to the podcast and have a better time. I swear to blog.

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 library of games for Nintendo’s second home console. It’s our first and maybe only video game-centric podcast, enjoy it!

Or take the jump to not enjoy it!

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 all older and vastly more cynical, they return to wring what little nostalgia is left out of the tunes that they still remember. By discovering together their favorite Nineties One-Hit Wonders, they find what they had really been looking for all along: each other.

If all that sounds like a bit much to you, you could always just look at the list after the break.

3. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – “The Impression That I Get”
2. Semisonic – “Closing Time”
1. The Verve – “Bittersweet Symphony”

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, the time-tested classics versus modern marvels. A topic so deep and with some many options, there’s quite a high probability one of your favorites won’t even get an honorable mention. Strap in baby, it’s time to get your T3 on.

Or you could just skip the whole show and read our final list. I wouldn’t do it, but we’re all for free will here.

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 like to say that a conversation this dear diffuses the usual arguing, that’s certainly not the case as they put together this hotly-contested list. In fact, the only real sure thing this time is that Sean still hasn’t seen enough movies.

If you’ve got to get back to your significant other, you can just look at the final list after the break.

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 it. Plenty of nerd rage has built up in the past decade and we let it all out in this special episode. It’s worth noting that the Red Letter Media Episode I review is mentioned a few times and is certainly a worthwhile viewing if you’re interested in a funny, well-argued case against that movie.

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, except for Colin, he talks about the movies he doesn’t really want to see at all. And Matt, who finally joined in on the, is really just along for the ride. John definitely has a list, though. Sean does too, along with a bunch of failed segues. Damn it if this is not the most compelling podcast of the year!

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 list based on a topic of almost random choosing!

This week, Sean, John and Colin discuss their favorite TV shows of 2011 as they try their best to narrow their list down to just 10 shows? Will they do it? Or will this podcast be an absolute failure right from the get-go?

Take the jump to spoil the show and reveal the list.
