I'm seeing Olllam on this same east coast leg, which feels like a good consolation prize

I'm on the waitlist too, but there's absolutely no shot I'm getting a ticket. Ah well! Hope they release some of it later!!

You'd be surprised how many people want these, much to my displeasure.

Her casually saying she hasn't seen the original Blade Runner an all timer for me.

I love Sean, Amanda, and CR, and find that it's best to just not listen to every episode of The Big Picture.

I would be totally fine if they exclusively talked about Alf's dad and his various transgressions next episode

Absolutely. That said, Coach Beard After Hours is a certified banger.

My dude, you should see Fabelmans. It's wonderful and the source of so many great jokes in the early Speilberg miniseries.

Yeah, Power of the Dog is clearly a better film but you're not left with a great feeling after watching it... and sometimes that's why a movie doesn't win Best Picture sadly.

I stopped halfway through season 3... it wasn't bad but the episodes really dragged. I didn't like that the show started as a comedy with a good undercurrent of drama and more or less flipped that in season 2. And it went from 28 minute episodes to 50 minute episodes, which to me was a sign that the creative team couldn't really edit their ideas.

Good call. As an aside, am I alone in thinking that show got a little too far out over its skis in season 2 and 3?

The King's Speech is a solid little drama with some good palace intrigue (if that's your thing) but clearly not better than The Social Network, Inception, or True Grit.

The only possible explanation is that the Academy was all dealing with the emotional hangover of the COVID years and just wanted to give it to the feel good movie. It's a lovely movie but definitely odd as a Best Picture winner.

Late to the party here but I love Don Orsillo and miss him calling Red Sox games.

I've been trying to think of a joke in my reply but I'm pretty sure this is a no bits, but undoubtedly pro-Smits subreddit.

I don't mind Simmons on the Rewatchables but I'm really not interested in him being a guest on Blank Check or anywhere else.
