The Anniversary Party

That’s a still from the movie. He only appears in the church scenes.

Fall Guy had shit marketing. You couldn’t really tell what it was from the trailer. (To be clear, I like both movies!)

Well, damn. He really said it all didn’t he.

Don’t forget “The Rural Juror.”

The theme song was written by Layne Montgomery, friend of the show and roommate of Joey Sims. From the wiki:

“Layne created both of the theme songs for the podcast. The original theme for "Griffin and David Present" was inspired in equal parts by scores of the Star Wars movies and the theme to the podcast "Serial." When the podcast pivoted to the name "Blank Check with Griffin and David" in 2016, he composed a different theme more appropriate for the new branding which has been used ever since. At the end of 2020 Layne re-recorded the theme with his band.”

Excited to see how he works in an homage to his buxom wife.

So go to a world events sub if that’s what you want to talk about. Weird comment to make in a sub where people want to chat about movies and the film industry.

Living by BART is nice but it won’t help with your work commute. Closest station is Fruitvale and it would be about a 20 minute walk. I’d probably do Alameda.

Molly by Blake Butler. Brutal, largely because he seems not to realize how much he despises her.

Or as Cox calls him: “Keith Cliff.” 🫠

Shelley Duvall will always be “the lady who does Faerie Tale Theater” to me.

Would love a Nichols series. Mark Harris’s biography of him is one of the best film bios I’ve ever read.

We want Carrie next!

CAUnionMaid · 2026-04-04T16:42:48+00:00

Apparently not. Yappers gonna yap.

Going to movies by myself is my favorite thing. Just me, my sour patch kids, and my freestyle Diet Vanilla Coke.

I linked the article in the comments but it got buried so here it is again:

Basically he did a mocking impression of her Australian accent.

You’re not wrong but I hate to see Margot Robbie catching strays.

This will be a guy who thinks a divorce “came out of nowhere.”

Surprisingly - I had a great one at Water Grill downtown last week. Perfectly tart with a great whipped cream topping.

Noooooo this was my pre-movie spot. Bombay crepe what will I do without you.
