It’s not about more difficult being better. It’s about better being better. Real wings just taste better than boneless wings. Much better. There’s nothing wrong with boneless wings but they’re really just nuggets/strips with a fancy name.

I feel like a lot of people complain about how The AV Club has gone downhill. I still defend y’all, but for real, this is some clickbait ass shit right here.

The only one I’ve ever won had Tag Tail as the final round. I had no tail until the last 5 seconds when I was able to nab it and run out the clock. But up until those last 5 seconds it was basically just me running around like I was lost.

This game is a masterpiece. I feel like people who are worried about winning might get frustrated with it but if you go in and laugh and the hilarious nonsense it’s a guaranteed good time.

That could’ve been a fun way to show that they were losing control of things. Not only would Cobb’s subconscious start flooding the dream, but they would also start noticing little oddities. They’re in the middle of a car chase and they pass a bus with pepperoni wheels or they notice a billboard for an all dog late…

Yeah, I didn’t want to get into a whole nerdy defense of Inception but the whole point of those dreams is to have something you can control so you can influence the target. It makes way more sense to construct a rational dream that follows actual logic rather than one with a talking dragon who’s also your 4th grade…

I think it’s unfair to call them rock stupid. They’re certainly not super intelligent and sophisticated otherwise they wouldn’t be so broadly appealing and make the kind of money they make. They have a tone that feels sophisticated but the plots aim just high enough to feel “smart” without leaving anyone behind.

Everyone’s dreams are different. If your dreams are all wacky and surreal and you can’t get over the Inception dreams not being like that then I’m not going to tell you you’re wrong. But at the same time, I’ve heard more than one person say that their dreams are a lot like the ones in Inception. Mine are probably a…

I ran into this the other day and it is beyond depressing. In a FB group the other day someone posted, “Who’s your favorite actor? Mine’s Tom Hanks!” I couldn’t believe the number of posts making wild accusations about Hanks. And based on thing like, he posted a picture of a glove that he found lying on the ground.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in, like, at least the last two hours.

I really want to see it in the theater but I don’t see myself going back to a theater until fall at the earliest. I would really love if they would stop being stubborn and just delay this thing already.

I know that I’m a long way from having enough confidence to sit in a crowded movie theater for two hours, but I’m not convinced that the general public feels the same way. Based on the way most people seem to be handling themselves right now there might be a not insignificant number of people willing to go see this…

I’ve seen it several times. A couple of them recently. It’s a great action scene with some absolutely gorgeous cinematography. One of the best space battles in the series. And as a bonus it doesn’t contain a single “yo momma” joke, much less a bunch of them.

Such a wonderful moment, but the clincher for me is Elastigirl’s response: “If we work together you won’t have to be.”

If you’re going to hate on The Last Jedi that’s fine, but at least hate on it for things that actually happen in the movie.

Don’t forget that Rey explodes Chewie, until he’s revealed to have been on a separate transport that apparently existed? And Rey mortally wounds Ren, until Rey heals Ren. Oh, and Palpatine kills Rey, until Ren heals Rey.

I hear you, but no. A six inch tall droid mechanic with oversized hands and a funny voice, who is also a super cool animatronic, will always rule.

You bring up a good point that’s easy to forget because the movie never slows down to develop any idea and instead just barrels from plot point to plot point. Rey finds out that Leia (and I think Luke, right?) knew she was a Palpatine. She seems bothered by that betrayal for all of five seconds because there’s no time…

I’m replying way after the fact so it’s likely you won’t ever see this, but I finally saw Rise of Skywalker and am going back and checking out the podcast episodes and conversations I avoided back when it was released and happened upon this conversation again. Plus I’m quarantined and have nothing better to do, so why…

I hated Rise of Skywalker.
