So the takeaway from this is that . . . nobody beats the Wiz?

Wasn't Braff making a movie called Open Hearts at one point? Was that just a working title for Wish I Was Here?

I assumed the guy in the other cell was a snitch/agent provocateur. Still not sure he isn't.

I didn't buy that, not one bit. Devout Christians are too numerous. Any authority who tried to ban the Bible would face open uprisings across the country.

Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. I saw a trailer for that back in '85, and when the title came up, half the theater broke out laughing.

Can't forget Robin Williams in Death to Smoochy!

You can't even get them in Northern VA anymore - the local franchisee hasn't carried them for three fucking years!

The showrunners clearly didn't do much research on the DC area in the early '80s.

It is available for free on Amazon, if you have Amazon Prime.

Why hasn't Alia Shawkat ever had a lead role in anything since Arrested Development?

When do they get chased by that dragon puppet? His name's in the frigging title, after all.

"blue movies"
"Burly-Q"

don't forget the negligent dogslaughter and the incest joke.

They didn't explicitly say it was ESL, though; I assumed it was North St. Louis.

And there are no blacks or Pakistanis in London.

Cairo, Illinois

In The Mist (set in Maine) we see a firetruck labeled Caddo Parish. Whoops!

Set it in DC but have the characters doing jobs which have nothing to do with politics. That'll make it stand out.

I guess that would have made it too similar to The Mindy Project.

It's never Hilary Duff . . .
