Not exactly on topic, but it seems snobbish that Fishel said, “none of the stand ins ever ate with the cast!” Uh, rude.

Except the article says that Friedel and Strong were both in their 20's when they showed up in support for this guy in court. So while maybe not exactly the same, still not great.

So I just listened to the whole episode, and one thing they discuss comes to mind.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, “Jailbait” was a concept that was freely thrown around, and it almost always blamed the younger person involved. So in the case of Peck, at the time, people thought, “Well, he’s just doing what…

It’s weird because it’s not all that unusual for actors on shows like these to more or less disappear after they finish, and as long as they don’t end up in the news for boxing Screech or something, I tend to just assume they made it out ok and are living comfortably on earnings and investments. But it’s just as…

I mentioned this in my own comment, but it’s believed the reason they are talking about this is that it is going to be brought up in Quiet on the Set and the rumors make it sound like the filmmakers are minimally side-eying those who supported them even though they were also largely minors and very young adults.

The most depressing thing about their podcast is that you have a cast of kids who came through seemingly relatively unscathed and then you realize just how much trauma they were put through. There’s a rumor that they are going to get dragged on Quiet on the Set for having supported Peck. I really hope that those…

I met Brian Peck when I was on the set of X-Men (in a civilian capacity) in 1999. He sat and socialized behind the camera pretty much the whole time my +1 and I were there; he didn’t have a role in the movie (though he eventually got a came0—in the same scene as Stan Lee, no less!). He told us he was there because he…

No small feat nailing a Carly Simon song like that. Beautifuly done. 

Jesus Christ this industry.

The people I know who are watching S4 don’t even know the creative team changed, they just know it got good again after 2 seasons they didn’t like. I tell them it’s a new creative team and they’re super surprised.

First of all, did Edebiri really have to apologize for this?

The problem to begin with here is that you are viewing the media as “the other side” to the Republicans. That’s not the way it is meant to be. The function of real media like NYT or CNN or MSNBC or whoever else is not to be the opposite of Fox News. As much as you may want them to be. It’s to be impartial, which means…

“you should have supported a stronger candidate to begin with”

If you have to wrap your candidate in bubble wrap to protect them, maybe...pick a better candidate?  But I’m not a highly paid election consultant.  What do I know?

Lol, comment section here is exactly what I expected.

A bunch of whining that “the stakes are too high” to make fun of Joe Biden. Once again: it is not the media’s job, nor has it ever been the media’s job, to overlook the flaws in your favorite candidate just because you view it as necessary for the greater good. If…

Tell the kids it’s Hamilton!

I’ve never once met a person who thought 300 was historically accurate beyond the broad strokes of “300 Spartans held off a superior enemy force for a shockingly long time considering the difference in numbers”, so i’m always confused when people feel the need to dunk on its inaccuracies.

My favorite line is when a woman asks Mel Gibson if she can sit next to him and he replies “it’s a free country…or it will be”

he is right, and he played it so over the top it was comical. Even for a historical accuracy there’s not enough leg amputation from gangrene.

60 years ago they counted in Europe. Race is fluid, but insisting Italians aren't white to imply Ubisoft has a more diverse set of protagonists than they do is a stretch.
