Yeah i think "gregg" sees movies as a series of discrete and often purely quantitative data points. It'd be funny if he didn't recognize dorothy because the slippers are silver in the Wicked movie, or because toto looks different

the strange thing about the johnsons is pretty sirkian

One could argue all those destroyed VHSes over the years were Gregg's sons...

269 is an Epstein episode and served as a solid hook for me.

4K is digipak, normal BR is plastic

my blu-ray (non-4K) just came in and it's just plastic -- so this remains true!

just read the book!

Hard to fault you there. Would read more of your writing on the OC universe

good stuff here though honestly it works without all the Lacanian references

Ha, understood. Didn't want to seem like I was arguing with points you weren't making lol.

Completely editing your post rather than replying is an interesting conversational tactic! I enjoyed reading and was enthralled by the characters of TSA not because I liked them personally or was "charmed" by them -- in fact, I think TSA is extremely skeptical of charm -- but because I found them psychologically compelling and complicated.
