When my Sister and I were kids, this movie came on and almost immediately, she laid down on the floor and her eyes were glued to the screen (I had already seen it). It says a lot about this movie's quality that it would grab her attention like that. She tends to lean more towards Adam Sandler movies (although to her credit, Grown Ups must be pretty bad if she thought it was "boring and stupid"). Robert Mitchum is amazing in this. The last thing I saw him in (I think it was even his last part before he died) was Dead Man, with Johnny Depp. Even then, he was crushing it.

I'm fascinated that Teague has only just recently seen Psycho (my personal favorite Hitchcock film) and I hope that means a commentary is eminent.

I wish people would stop perpetuating that bullshit about Black Widow in The Avengers. I feel like Eddie would/should know better.

I see your point. Here's my process for recording a typical episode of Sofa Dogs:

1. I use a Blue Snowball USB microphone on the middle/second setting. Using MP3 Skype Recorder, I record the Skype call I'm on with my co-host.
2. The file is saved as a 44.100 kHz, 128 kbps, Stereo mp3.
3. I open the file in Audacity and separate the left and right channels (me and the co-host, respectively), using the "Split Stereo to Mono" function. I'll delete one track and save the other, then Edit>Undo so I can delete the other track and save the remainder.
4. Taking turns, I'll open one file in Gold Wave and apply the Noise Reduction filter and then the Maximize Volume feature. Then they get saved, yet again.
5. Then I'll open both files in one Multitrack Session in Adobe Audition. That's where I'll do all my editing, before saving it one last time and uploading to Sofa Dogs.

Two things I'm hoping for with a purchase of a new setup:
1. Better gain so I don't have to bother with Maximizing Volume.
2. Better pickup on my voice and less pickup of everything else so I don't have to bother with Noise Reduction.

Basically, I'd like to greatly shorten my post-production time and process.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the MXL 990 or suggestions for another large diaphragm condenser microphone?

Does the Blue Yeti have to be planted on my desk, or can I take off the stand and attach the mic to a boom of some kind?
