Uncle Crizzle
Uncle Crizzle (originally Uncle Crizzle's Wide, Wild World of Pop; don't know when the name change happened) is a pop-culture blog I think some of you read. Whatever stuff that's happening in contemporary arts and entertainment that I find either great or goofy, I write a post and somebody out there gets a kick of it.
And now, for the first time ever, where the name "Uncle Crizzle" came from:
For some reason, when I started working here, I kept referring to myself as "Uncle Craig" in e-mails. During a dessert-filled, staff get-together, when somebody gave me one of those stick-on, blank name tags, I wrote "Crizzle." (Fans of "Chappelle's Show" may get the reference.) When N&O interactive came calling about doing a blog, I figured since no one is who they say they are online, why not call myself by another name. And that's when "Uncle Crizzle" was born.

"G.I. Joe," Jean-Claude Van Damme, Painful Childhood Memories — Yes, It's Time For Another CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION!!!
For today's edition of the Condition, I speak to another film writer who I know for a fact listens to the podcast. The guest is John Lichman, online producer for "The Rotten Tomatoes Show" on the Current channel and contributor to The House Next Door. Some of you may be aware of the joyfully inebriated, film-critic podcast he also used to do for the site.
We discuss the fine art of moderating podcasts (whether you're drunk or sober), our love for Armond White, the new Paul Giamatti movie "Cold Souls," the ever-growing need for studios to drop senseless summer blockbusters based on toys and Lichman's love for the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie "Bloodsport." The mention of this movie brings up an unfortunate, painful, childhood memory for me. I won't get into detail here (I go into much graphic detail on the podcast), but there's a good chance you'll never look at Vicks VapoRub the same way again. You can also download it here.
I'm taking a brief online break, so check back the week after next for podcasts. Besides, I'm sure you'll need to take a breather from me after the VapoRub story.
