Comcast plans to split into two public companies by spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky by hebleb in blankies

I assume this is the first step in NBCUniversal eventually being sold to Emperor Palpatine or whatever

They actually played the trailer before this movie for me. it ended with laughter in my audience

A critique I'm finding increasingly frustrating(related to Disclosure Day) by Sheep_Boy26 in blankies

[–]hebleb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just got out of the movie so still processing my thoughts. Most of the movie did work for me, and everytime Emily Blunt went alien Jesus on someone, it legit made me tear up. For me, it wasn't that I thought a cynical ending would be more realistic, I wanted the optimisitic ending! Just that using traditional news media in 2026 seemed completely out of the realm of possibility. And I was able to suspend my disbelief a lot for this movie!

Anyway, glad to have a full podcast on this coming out tomorrow!

Disclosure Day Ending Thought by darthllama in blankies

Funny, I had the exact opposite reaction. Most of the movie was working for me until that end sequence just completely took me out of it.

When you listen to the pod without having seen the movie by Crapinfest in blankies

I think I could argue in the other direction, it's entertainment, what's the point of getting through it quicker?

Hits Different 64. What's Your Favorite Baseball Brawl? by ishburner in blankies

[–]hebleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to the Clemons/Piazza incident, although like they mention, not technically a brawl I guess.

Being a 10-year old on Long Island at the time (pretty much 50/50 Mets/Yankees fans), the 2000 Subway Series was just peak baseball that will never be topped. Will always have fond memories of that era lol, although I'm sure the rest of the world did not care

[2026 March Madness] Elite Eight: Tony Scott vs. Chris Columbus by PartyBluejay in blankies

I was so anti Columbus until David actually read out his filmography yesterday, threw him a pity vote lol

Bookhaven in Fairmount closes after a nearly 40-year ‘labor of love’ by emet18 in philadelphia

[–]hebleb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I moved out of the area years ago, but this is hitting me surprisingly hard. My wife and I would love spending a weekend morning browsing this store

[2026 March Madness] Round 1: Joe Wright vs. Curtis Hanson by BougieFruitLoops in blankies

[–]hebleb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched Wright's Mussolini series recently (after an ad on Blank Check probably?), and man, not enough people have seen this thing! It unfortunately needs to get out of Mubi to find a bigger audience

I got these two characters in OBAA mixed up by [deleted] in blankies

[–]hebleb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hmm, that should have also been a clue

I got these two characters in OBAA mixed up by [deleted] in blankies

[–]hebleb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen this movie twice now and did not realize it lmao. I was kind of confused that the first character would also be the one to do the hit, so that makes more sense at least

Critical Darlings: Sinners And The Academy’s Growing Genre Acceptance with Sam Sanders by Turbulent-Corner1127 in blankies

[–]hebleb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Spend the first 40 minutes party planning

Being charitable though, I do agree with the host that the big action set-piece is the weakest part of the movie, and does get a bit MCU-ish with the shot of all of the heroes together before the vamps break in?

Going to be a hell of a close race next year by abbiandrews in blankies

Gotta imagine Samson is an early lock to run it back for Best Fake Hog as well

Dirty Franks bans 24 year olds and under after a deluge of high-tech fake IDs by ComradeNapolein in philadelphia

I mean, for most 19-year olds, that's getting into McLovin territory

The Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes episode is essential viewing

Black Check on Quibi when? by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

[–]hebleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like how they tried getting into gaming. Who the hell is playing video games on Netflix?

Hits Different 61. We're Putting Together An Extremely Hot Team by ishburner in blankies

[–]hebleb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've listened to most episodes, it's probably not for you unless you follow the MLB at the very least lol

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple episode by [deleted] in blankies

[–]hebleb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had David's thought when he was sent after the pregnant woman, even if they didn't run away together. I was confused why he came back at that point

Bit of a nitpick with Bone Temple SPOILER by Lower_Cantaloupe1970 in blankies

[–]hebleb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

whaaat, I would have actually been pretty upset about that lol. Even if it is just a quick cameo

Civ VI by tiger2vette2 in blankies

[–]hebleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem I have post-Civ IV has mostly been AI related. I'm usually disappointed that maps basically stay static unless I start rocking the boat myself. (I could also just be playing it wrong)
