Of course, it's not THAT weird; young kids' early crushes follow notoriously random logic, no? (Hey, even adult crushes aren't entirely predictable…)

"innocent (enough)". Wait, was there some sense in which he was less than 100% innocent, just a normal person decent scientist working on making better food for the world?

It's weird… He's not listed in this on imdb. What's going on?

"And she looked good in the leather". Well, she may not be Eddie Murphy Delirious funny, but at least she's Eddie Murphy: Delirious stylish, then.

But that was probably more an unintentional effect of whitewashed TV/film industry casting than an intentional effect in

I'm pretty sure all we ever see is Nasir's own hand on his back, as he showers himself…

Almost every classic Disney movie features a love arc, so… Perhaps you're of the opinion this was wrong to do (and it's certainly unfortunate how so many of them support the narrative of a woman's life being all about finding her Prince Charming), but I join the mainstream in thinking it's perfectly fine FOR KIDS to

From the review: "(To say nothing of Netflix’s own Master Of None.)"

Incidentally, as a fun piece of trivia relevant to this thread, I note that Norm MacDonald actually wrote the original SNL Celebrity Jeopardy sketches. (Primarily so he could find an opportunity to play Burt Reynolds, who was originally Trebek's primary foil, until Norm was booted from SNL, at which point Darrell
