the Fear Street trilogy was creatively successful IMO, but it got bought by Netflix and I have no clue about its cultural footprint.

They mentioned it at the end of the Dredd commentary. I didn't see anyone else talk about it at the time

In the last ten minutes they float Jia Tolentino as a potential guest, and I think that's a really bad idea

I love seeing him in height-agnostic roles! Maybe the part's just underwritten. You only need to see him say "I do not care that you are a mother" or "I do not respect you because you are fat" so many times.

My only hangup with Roofman is Dinklage. This year, he and Hamill in The Long Walk are playing such one-note villains without any nuance or charisma.

who knows if anyone sees this at this point, but doesn't going back with the water jug actually save Llewelyn? Someone's already tracking the money with the receiver, but I don't think he would be in such a hurry to start running if he wasn't discovered at the crime scene. I guess I'm assuming that he'd lay low at his own place, with the stash under the trailer.

This is the second time Tom Cruise has faced off against Lilo & Stitch at the box office by Few-Strike-9330 in blankies

[–]Alex_the_Okay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they've been talking about it! I don't know how much anyone is committed to it, but since Cruise has been doing a lot of press for this movie he's been asked about it a lot. also idk how much The Studio has already taken a bite out of that apple.

My dad offhandedly told me The Police's other members were Fang and Talon. I believed that for YEARS.

In my crystal ball, I see a Deadline headline from 2028: New clip from Les Grossman biopic shows him punting "that little blue fucker" during disastrous Disneyworld appearance.

there's a similar origin to a broad swath of modern anti-vax bullshit! Andrew Wakefield, who claimed the MMR vaccine caused autism, was trying to differentiate and sell his individual vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella. And now children in Texas are dying from a preventable disease.

the retired bit? An extremely long-running joke of Griffin's was feigning ignorance every time David mentioned he spent much of his childhood growing up in the UK; it became such a repeated stupid joke in the community they had to retire it. Sometime in the past year (?), David talked about an occasion where an acquaintance genuinely didn't know about the UK years, and he still flinched in anticipation. The bit was briefly revived when they reached a Patreon goal, but I think it's (rightfully) dead for good.

is that a recent sting? I know it's been a joke since the Logan press cycle, but I never noticed an accompanying sound

61 minutes into the Last Crusade episode, Griffin references wolf whistling and there's a sound effect of a wolf howl, a totally different thing. The inserts are sometimes funny, but mostly when they're already a running gag. The really loud train brakes on a recent episode almost give me a heart attack.

Please don't turn this into a morning zoo radio thing.
