Matthew Wrather hosts with Peter Fenzel and Mark Lee. They totally had a plan when they started this one. They swear. They do manage to touch on Twilight: New Moon, Thanksgiving pop culture revelations, Christian Reality Shows, and Ninja Assasin. Along the way, some other stuff comes up, like how to market amateur theatricals and whether eating less makes you live longer.

We’ve just entered a new era, dear readers.  The days of “pirate versus ninja” arguments are over.  It is a new dawn.  This week, the stealthy, over-serious killing machine known as the ninja has been replaced.

Replaced by the stealthy, over-serious killing machine known as the sniper.

If you don’t watch the news (and who would blame you?  Current events are LAME), you might not be aware that last week, four Somali pirates took an American hostage.  Real pirates!  I know, awesome, right?  But it gets better.  Three of the four pirates were killed—get this—by a freakin’ sniper.

Boom headshot, indeed.

Hollywood, if you are not on this, you need to get on this.  Right.  Now.  You already reminded us (well, more specifically, Johnny Depp–who I just saw filming The Rum Diary down in San Juan!!1!!1!– reminded us) how awesome pirates are.  Now you need to get some freaking snipers in there, Hollywood!  It’ll be like Alien vs. Predator, only AWESOMER.

The only question is, when pitted against each other, who would win in a pirate versus sniper showdown?  Sure, the sniper won this week in real life, but who would win in the movies?  Well, it depends on what kind of movie it is…
