Episode #213: You Can Quote Me On That
Manage episode 467829521 series 2800359
"We're gonna need a bigger boat." "There's no place like home." "Inconceivable!" The classic movie, TV or video game quote serves a very important purpose: it's a clearly defined, self-contained, and universally understood reference to a well-written piece of entertainment that can apply to any number of life situations. When well-placed, a sharp line can act as a timeless (and timely) conversational lubricant that acts like a pop-culture parfait of sorts — it's layered, easily digestible, and can serve as a sweet and satisfying finisher to a more substantial situation. Plus, you can see who else has eaten it up, then use it as a litmus test to find other people who share your taste. In this episode of Fuel Your Fandom, Saint and Jim do a rapid rundown of some of the most quotable quips from the world of nerd media. Did your favorite bon mot make the list? Only one way to find out! Friends, Romans, countrymen...Lend us your earholes.
