I came to them pretty late too, think the only reason I didnt bother when I was at school was some kinda immature contrarianism. A lot of people didn’t like Craig as Asriel but in retrospect its a better choice. I think my perfect casting would be Tim Dalton, but he’s probably far too old now. I heard he did play him…

It’s definitely a Corden-level choice. Say what you will about the movie but Sam Elliot was pretty perfectly cast, and about the only thing he has in common with Miranda is they’re both actors.

It’s important to keep in mind that the main reason basically any allied country got involved was because it went from ‘they’re doing horrible things to their own citizens and neighbouring countries’ to ‘now they’re coming for us!’.

Same here. Even if he wasn’t so over exposed rn it’s just such dreadful casting.

No worries. I have autism too and it’s definitely not a wholly positive experience, but it’s good not to think of it as an illness. Western society traditionally has very rigid gender roles and a socially conservative expectation of conformity, so a big part of the barriers trans people are up against are just people…

neurodivergency =/= mental illness. You can acknowledge there is a medical diagnosis for something like ASD or gender dysphoria, but calling it an illness is inherently loaded. 

I’d give it a solid B, but the second is one of my favourite all-time movies so I’m a little biased. 

She should look into it briefly then and find out that doesn’t happen, except when doctors try to 'fix' healthy intersex children. 

In my experience the games are usually secondary to the host/s. People often watch because they have a pre-existing appreciation for the person hosting the stream, and oftentimes its just something to have on in the background while the viewer themselves engages with their own hobbies.

apparently it had 4, which I just had to look up to confirm. I’m glad it got an adaptation at all, and the characters were at least well done, but fuck me that show could have been titled ‘Wheelspinning’ 

Mine would, but I’m a terminal underachiever. 

why?

oh cool!

Wonder what happened with Finnemore, Cabin Pressure was hilarious. 

Plenty of hugely successful people who are currently working TV shows do podcasts, it’s a time commitment of like two hours a week, but it does strike me as a little depressing to do one about a TV show she starred in herself that ended years ago.

Nah that game rules, tho I've never finished it and it's incredibly janky. 

tbh any divorce proceedings would get so wrapped up in the courts its probably smarter to just wait for him to die. He’s a geriatric fart who believes exercise shortens ones lifespan, it’s amazing he’s lasted this long. 

Serious question: do legal protections for the president extend to divorce?

I completely agree
