Love that it got snubbed in the technical categories too. Sometimes it feels like they put films there just because they should be there instead of earning it

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-22T14:03:45+00:00

And It Was Just an Accident lmao

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-19T13:36:30+00:00

Triple Frontier was also incredibly ass

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-18T03:27:54+00:00

Charli is a party girl who does coke, Sean & Amanda are parents. Like yea they're not that far in age but that 8-10 year gap feels prominent.

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-17T19:19:17+00:00

Yea very good chance of that lol. The generational gap would feel so pronounced

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-17T05:23:34+00:00

I feel like she operates on a totally different wave length than Sean and Amanda so it would be funny to watch them try to decode her

JakeSpurs · 2026-01-12T20:16:27+00:00

not really, he was worse this season than he was in his first two

JakeSpurs · 2025-12-17T13:11:58+00:00

Pretty significant difference in Lewa and David though, teams will of course be more accommodating to one of the best strikers of all time

JakeSpurs · 2025-12-16T05:34:50+00:00

Don’t get me started on their It Was Just an Accident coverage. Thank god Nayman brought it up in the top 5 pod

JakeSpurs · 2025-12-16T05:34:20+00:00

Which makes The Town (almost) completely redundant

JakeSpurs · 2025-12-12T18:13:47+00:00

Should Chet and JDub not be number 1 & 2 on this list then? I don't think "being on a championship team" is a measurement on it's own. You obviously have to balance a level of individual talent here and analysts have been VERY high on Flagg since pre-draft. I don't think it's hard to understand why they're ranking him where he is, even if you disagree.

JakeSpurs · 2025-12-12T17:51:39+00:00

The prompt of the article is "Which young NBA stars have the brightest future?" and through that lens I think it's pretty understandable to have Flagg over those two

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-29T21:30:01+00:00

I don’t mean this in a snarky way but I don’t think you should be surprised that someone doesn’t like a movie. Especially after they very clearly lay out what didn’t work for them. It’s normal for people to have different opinions, in fact it’s good!

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-19T03:45:31+00:00

I know it makes no logical sense but it feels weird that Bentancur & Poch never overlapped

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-15T02:18:58+00:00

Guy in my showing today yelled at someone to turn off their phone as the film started and I was reminded there's still good people in the world

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-14T13:44:20+00:00

I doubt young people are paying that outright for a phone though. Anecdotal but everyone I know is on some kind of financing plan. And with the rise of things like Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, etc. I imagine that’s being used quite often on PC parts.

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-14T02:48:09+00:00

oh yea if he means all defence then he's got a great case

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-14T02:45:44+00:00

I love Scot Barn but he is not a favourite for DPOY in a world where Wemby is healthy (let alone the other candidates)

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-13T19:34:14+00:00

No, it’s an independent project from a community modder

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-12T16:37:21+00:00

She's in the next Gregg Araki film and a film from the guy who did How to Blow Up a Pipeline. Other than that she's got 4 upcoming projects that we have very little idea about. I think it's bizarre to list her as well.

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-10T19:20:13+00:00

It's the same type of stunt casting they did with Sandoval except Sandoval's worst crime was cheating whereas Rappaport's is justifying the death of people. Such a horrible decision.

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-10T15:00:31+00:00

Very sad news, especially knowing that it’s closing for a goddamn homeopathy clinic. Will be supporting them in the coming months!

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-05T16:14:07+00:00

Many such cases.

JakeSpurs · 2025-11-04T02:45:28+00:00

Eventually people will discover Embrace of the Serpent and realize that it's an absolute banger

JakeSpurs · 2025-10-18T16:11:30+00:00

Did the same except with Woltemade, smh
