Just watched the Behind the Scenes thing on YouTube about their skills videos - Hoechner says “I didn’t ‘record a video’ like the other guys - my agent just sent him some clips from when I played in college.”

Indeed

Superman was a starter at ASU!

I still don’t understand anyone finding Don Draper likable after the second episode or so.

I don’t feel like anyone want to take on Superbad, on that front…but I’d LOVE something more similar to Dazed and Confused set around that time (…aka, when I was Mitch’s age).

Just watched it on a flight last night (serendipity!) - O’Bannion’s the one who’s going to have to repeat.

I bought a bottle of Svedka for $40 once 😂

The guy who plays Plummer had never acted before, but had played ball at Harvard, haha!

I’m sure they’re all saying “Full throttle to the bottle!”

I love EWS!! so damn much.

I do feel like a big part of it is the difference between a pair of 24 year old writers (on a screenplay they started in their teens!) and a man in his 30s.

I was born around when t he movie came out, and I feel like we were the last gasp of just driving around aimlessly, smoking weed and hoping to find beer to drink in a park.

Gemstones came back fine from the pandemic gap!

Oh, Jonah Hill’s casting is super important to the movie - the fact that his character thinks he has a shot with Emma Stone is proof positive that we’re supposed to laugh *at* him for being an ass rather than laugh *with* him for being our protagonist.

Yeah, it took me about a month on Viz.

It’s polite to add a TL, DR when writing a lengthy essay in an internet comment section.

Also, Chappelle’s been a raging, petulant dick since the DARVO tactics of the rich white men whose transphobia he was mocking successfully reframed the conversation around his bit into *Chappelle* being transphobic, based on a dumb, one-off line.

I mean…the original bit that got him in trouble was about how the cis, white, bourgeois men running the “LGBTQ+ Movement” didn’t give a fuck about people like Laverne Cox, other than viewing their movement’s association with people like her as an obstacle to their getting their due as cis, white, bourgeois men.

Oh, I was a teenaged boy in 2007.

And if you were paying money to see a story about that specific subset of teenage boys…would you want the dialogue to reflect how they actually speak, or would you prefer that the writer reframe that dialogue in a way that would ensure the comfort of folks old enough to be their parents?
