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.

The Geekiest-Sounding CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION Yet!!!!
Once again, my apologies for the lateness. But, the person who usually puts these podcasts in code for me was off last week, leaving me with several backlogged Conditions (including one, soon-to-be-infamous two-parter I'm saving for next week).
Luckily, they are still pretty timely, like this one I did with Simon Abrams (aka @simonsaybrams), New York-based freelance critic and blogger. We talked about Abrams sharing column space with the notorious Armond White, our different tastes in prison movies and the best films we've seen so far this year.
And let me just say that if you've ever wanted to hear a conversation about movies with not one, but two men who sound just like Eddie Deezen (no offense, Simon — I was beginning to think I was the only one), then you must listen to this podcast. You can also download it here.
Next up on Friday: Is "The Dark Knight" no different than "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins"? A friend of Armond will explain.
