Blooper: Introduction To Episode 42

It happens as little as we can help it, but sometimes we rearrange episodes at the last minute. I saw Ratatouille the day before Episode 41 came out, and Stephen had already seen it, and we were both interested in talking about it, so we decided to record a Second Take segment on Ratatouille as a follow-up to our earlier segment on Pixar.

The problem was, for the Ratatouille segment to be timely, it had to come out sooner rather than later, before the movie started vanishing from theaters. But the next opening for a segment wouldn't have been until Episode 45. So we took the Film Buff's Dictionary segment on Frame Rate out of Episode 42, where it was originally scheduled, and moved it up to Episode 44, replacing that episode's Film Buff's Dictionary segment, which was also postponed.

But we had already recorded the introduction to Episode 42, which included Stephen making a joke about the now-missing Frame Rate segment. We rerecorded it from scratch, intending to reuse the joke in Episode 44, where the Frame Rate segment was moved to. But we thought a better Episode 44 introductory joke would be a recall of the Episode 42 remake joke, and if you are hopelessly confused at this point, just smile and nod. The point was, we had an introduction that I kind of liked and no place to use it.

So here it is, not a blooper, just a version of the Episode 42 introduction before the segments got switched around.
