Thanks! And wow, I don’t remember that at all.

Remind me what happened with Mera?

You’re likely being intentionally obtuse, but of course the interviewer knew what he was getting into.

So it’s going to be a stealth prequel?

That GenX slam is a bit odd, because it feels to me like the main beef is between Millennials and Boomers. That said, the crustier of my GenX cohorts do enjoy some fist-shaking at Millennials from time to time.

Here comes that cannon ball guy. He’s cool.

Wait. Are you under the impression that the reason an interviewer would ask an author questions is thst he needed help understanding the author's point?

Right. It’s a cute take, but it’s not like there weren’t a million other snobs-vs-slobs movies before and after Sandler’s hits. Spoiler: the snobs aren’t the heroes in those movies, either.

Any guest who requires that they have the option to substitute in things they brought from for elements of the meal we’ve prepared is a bad guest.
