The first season of this was such an odd duck. It’s a show about the racial awakening of a black man, written and filmed before the murder of George Floyd, but aired afterward. Things changed so radically that everyone may as well have been using Nokia flip phones, it was such a time capsule.

Beyond that though, the…

Look man, I know it’s a different series and all, but the Batman Beyond finale they snuck into JLU needs a mention here.

Episode is titled “Epilogue,” 2x13.

You might also bring up “The Once and Future Thing Part Two: Time Warped,” 1x13, which also features Terry. It’s considerably less essential from a Batman Beyond…

This being Leverage, a “Nate was faking his death all along” plotline isn’t exactly out of the question.

The documentary is one of the most bonkers things. So good.

Thomas Was Alone gave me extremely strong feelings about the inner life of a vertical line. What a great game.

Girl becomes a production designer and producer, helps make some of the best movies of the 70's, 80's and 90's, discovers Wes Anderson and helps make sure Bottle Rocket gets made. Dies at 72 in 2011.

Gonna take this comment section as an opportunity to recommend an exhaustive, fascinating podcast series on Bogndanovich’s ex-wife, Polly Platt. It covers her collaboration with Bogdanovich, his affair, their ongoing involvement afterward, their collaboration with Orson Welles, and lots more. It’s great stuff.

In the very short term, it’s making me nervous about Cyrano getting a wide enough release that I get to see it in theaters. I’ve been looking forward to that for months.

I thought Eternals was two great movies mashed into one okay movie, with a mis-cast Ikaris. I didn’t really believe Ikaris and Circe were in love for any reason other than the script demanded they be, and that was a huge problem. The chemistry just wasn’t there, and their relationship wasn’t given room to grow.

There’s…

Also cosigned. I loved this show, and I was a huge fan of the original anime.

Just wanna say that I really appreciate this transcript of the video. Makes me so happy!

I just can’t with the hate on the Coach Beard Episode. You didn’t learn anything about Beard? Then you weren’t watching.

I have nothing constructive to add, I just wanna say “MAH DEEYOK”

Also Also: That’s Oakland’s Chinatown in the beginning, and the tunnel they pass through is the same tunnel used for the chase sequence at the end of THX-1138.

Also it’s Ala-Me-Da, not Ala-May-Da.

I lived nearby when this was being filmed. We’d drive around the empty Alameda airbase on the weekends, trying to get peeks at what they were doing for Burlyman (the filming title). Security guards would wave at us to just keep on driving as we crawled past the hangars they’d renovated into soundstages The “freeway”…

I unashamedly love this movie, but one thing that always makes me laugh is that it’s set in France, but everyone speaks with a dodgy British accent.

You must be real fun at parties.

Of course Donald Trump was there. Of course.
